SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), 

announce the availability of a draft 

recovery plan for Mosquito Range 

mustard (Eutrema penlandii), a plant 

listed as threatened under the 

Endangered Species Act, as amended 

(Act; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The draft 

recovery plan includes objective, 

measurable criteria, and site-specific 

management actions as may be 

necessary to remove the species from 

the Federal List of Endangered and 

Threatened Plants. We are requesting 

review and comment from the public on 

this draft recovery plan. 

Species Information 

On August 12, 1993, we listed 

Mosquito Range mustard as a threatened 

plant (July 28, 1993; 58 FR 40539). We 

did not designate critical habitat due to 

risk associated with vandalism. 

Mosquito Range mustard is a small, 

herbaceous plant in the mustard family 

(Brassicaceae), with white flowers and 

stout leaves. The species is found in 

high-elevation, alpine habitats of the 

Mosquito Mountain Range, in Lake, 

Park, and Summit Counties in central 

Colorado. The Mosquito Mountain 

Range is one of the driest and highest 

elevation mountain ranges in Colorado; 

therefore, temperatures are cold, winds 

are strong, and winters are long. The 

alpine areas where Mosquito Range 

mustard lives range in elevations from 

3,600 to 4,050 meters (11,800 to 13,280 

feet) and are generally moist, fed by 

melting snowbanks, and contain a 

diverse and abundant moss community. 

Mosquito Range mustard is found 

primarily on public lands managed by 

the U.S. Forest Service (approximately 

51 percent) and the Bureau of Land 

Management (17 percent). 

Approximately 31 percent of the overall 

range is privately owned, with the 

remaining 1 percent owned by the State 

of Colorado. There is no overlap of 

occupied habitat with Tribal lands. 

Currently, there are 26 known 

populations of the mosquito range 

mustard, distributed across 

approximately 100 hectares (246 acres) 

of habitat. Only 11 out of the 26 total 

known populations are characterized as 

relatively large, with high or moderate 

resiliency, each with 200 or more 

individuals. These 11 populations 

account for over 95 percent of the 

known number of individuals across the 

species’ range and are considered to be 

the most resilient populations. The 

remaining 15 populations have fewer 

than 200 individuals and are considered 

to have low resiliency. 

The primary threats to Mosquito 

Range mustard, both at the time of 

listing and currently, are small and 

geographically isolated populations, 

climate change, the inadequacy of 

regulatory mechanisms, disturbances 

related to recreation, such as hiking, 

biking, camping, and off-highway 

vehicle use, disturbances related to 

mining, and alteration of hydrology. 

Please refer to our biological report for 

additional discussion and full analyses 

of the life history, ecology, and 

biological status for Mosquito Range 

mustard (Service 2021, entire). 

Recovery Planning Process 

Restoring an endangered or 

threatened animal or plant to the point 

where it is again a secure, selfsustaining member of its ecosystem is a 

primary goal of the Service’s 

endangered species program. Recovery 

means improving the status of a listed 

species to the point at which listing is 

no longer necessary according to the 

criteria specified under section 4(a)(1) of 

the Act. The Act requires recovery plans 

for listed species unless such a plan 

would not promote the conservation of 

a particular species. To help guide 

recovery efforts, we prepare recovery 

plans to promote the conservation of the 

species. 

The purpose of a recovery plan is to 

provide a recommended framework for 

the recovery of a species so that 

protection of the Act is no longer 

necessary. Pursuant to section 4(f) of the 

Act, a recovery plan must, to the 

maximum extent possible, include: 

(1) A description of site-specific 

management actions as may be 

necessary to achieve the plan’s goal for 

the conservation and survival of the 

species; 

(2) Objective, measurable criteria 

which, when met, would support a 

determination under section 4(a)(1) of 

the Act that the species should be 

removed from the List of Endangered 

and Threatened Species; and 

(3) Estimates of time and costs 

required to carry out those measures 

needed to achieve the plan’s goal and to 

achieve intermediate steps toward that 

goal. 

We used our new recovery planning 

and implementation (RPI) process to 

develop the draft recovery plan for 

Mosquito Range mustard. The RPI 

process helps reduce the time needed to 

develop and implement recovery plans, 

increases the relevancy of the recovery 

plan over longer timeframes, and adds 

flexibility so that the recovery plan can 

be more easily adjusted to new 

information and circumstances. Under 

our RPI process, a recovery plan will 

include the three statutorily required 

elements for recovery plans—objective 

and measurable criteria, site-specific 

management actions, and estimates of 

time and cost—along with a concise 

introduction and our strategy for how 

we plan to achieve species recovery. 

The RPI recovery plan is supported by 

a separate biological report for Mosquito 

Range mustard (Service 2021, entire). 

The biological report is an in-depth, but 

not exhaustive, review of the species’ 

biology and threats, an evaluation of its 

biological status, and an assessment of 

the resources and conditions needed to 

maintain long-term viability. The 

biological report provides the scientific 

background and threats assessment for 

Mosquito Range mustard, which are key 

to the development of the recovery plan. 

A third, separate working document, 

called the recovery implementation 

strategy (RIS), steps down the more 

general descriptions of actions in the 

recovery plan to detail the specifics 

needed to implement the recovery plan, 

which improves the flexibility of the 

recovery plan. The RIS will be 

adaptable, with new information on 

actions incorporated, as needed, 

without requiring a concurrent revision 

to the recovery plan, unless changes to 

the three statutory elements are 

required.

Draft Recovery Plan 

Below, we summarize components 

from our draft recovery plan. Please 

reference the draft recovery plan for full 

details. 

The draft recovery plan describes the 

recovery goal for the Mosquito Range 

mustard as its long-term viability in the 

wild. For recovery, the species needs at 

least 11 (redundant) persistent 

(resilient) populations across the 

species’ range, where population trends 

are stable or increasing and ecological 

and genetic diversity are maintained 

(representation). This would be 

achieved by implementing recovery 

actions, such as protecting, conserving, 

and monitoring known populations, 

surveying for additional populations, 

and coordinating with stakeholders. 

The draft recovery plan includes 

recovery criteria for delisting. The 

delisting criteria include: 

(1) Maintaining population trends for 

the Mosquito Range mustard that are 

stable or increasing, according to 

objective measures that are described in 

the draft recovery plan; and 

(2) Maintaining existing regulatory 

mechanisms or other conservation plans 

that currently provide protections for 

Mosquito Range mustard and including 

protections in any new or amended land 

management plans on Federal lands. 

Peer Review 

In accordance with our July 1, 1994, 

peer review policy (59 FR 34270; July 1, 

1994); our August 22, 2016, Director’s 

Memo on the Peer Review Process; and 

the Office of Management and Budget’s 

December 16, 2004, Final Information 

Quality Bulletin for Peer Review 

(revised June 2012), we will seek the 

expert opinion of at least three 

appropriate and independent specialists 

regarding scientific data and 

interpretations contained in the species 

biological report and the draft recovery 

plan. We will send copies of both 

documents to the peer reviewers 

immediately following publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. We 

will ensure that the opinions of peer 

reviewers are objective and unbiased by 

following the guidelines set forth in the 

Director’s Memo, which updates and 

clarifies Service policy on peer review 

(U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2016). 

The purpose of such review is to ensure 

that our decisions are based on 

scientifically sound data, assumptions, 

and analysis. Accordingly, our final 

species biological report and recovery 

plan may differ from the draft 

documents. We will post the results of 

this structured peer review process on 

our website at https://www.fws.gov/ 

mountain-prairie/science/ 

peerReview.php. We also submitted our 

biological report to our Federal and 

State partners for their scientific review. 

The biological report is the scientific 

foundation for the draft recovery plan. 

Request for Public Comments 

All comments we receive by the date 

specified (see DATES) will be considered 

prior to approval of the recovery plan. 

Written comments and materials 

regarding the recovery plan should be 

sent via one of the means in the 

ADDRESSES section. 

We will consider all information we 

receive during the public comment 

period, and particularly look for 

comments that provide scientific 

rationale or factual background. The 

Service and other Federal agencies and 

partners will take these comments into 

consideration in the course of 

implementing an approved final 

recovery plan. We are specifically 

seeking comments and suggestions on 

the following questions: 

• Understanding that the time and 

cost presented in the draft recovery plan 

will be fine-tuned when localized 

recovery implementation strategies are 

developed, do you think that the 

estimated time and cost to recovery are 

realistic? Is the estimate reflective of the 

time and cost of actions that may have 

already been implemented by Federal, 

State, county, or other agencies? Please 

provide suggestions or methods for 

determining a more accurate estimation. 

• Do the draft recovery criteria 

provide clear direction to partners on 

what is needed to recover Mosquito 

Range mustard? How could they be 

improved for clarity? 

• Are the draft recovery criteria both 

objective and measurable given the 

information available for Mosquito 

Range mustard now and into the future? 

Please provide suggestions. 

• Understanding that specific, 

detailed, and area-specific recovery 

actions will be developed in the RIS, do 

you think that the draft recovery actions 

presented in the draft recovery plan 

generally cover the types of actions 

necessary to meet the recovery criteria? 

If not, what general actions are missing? 

Are any of the draft recovery actions 

unnecessary for achieving recovery? 

Have we prioritized the actions 

appropriately? 

Public Availability of Comments 

We will summarize and respond to 

the issues raised by the public in an 

appendix to the approved final recovery 

plan. Before including your address, 

phone number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

You may request at the top of your 

comment that we withhold this 

information from public review; 

however, we cannot guarantee that we 

will be able to do so.
