 AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
 ACTION: Notice of initiation of reviews; request for information.
 SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year status reviews for 37 species under the Endangered Species Act, as amended. A 5-year review is an assessment of the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review. We are requesting submission of any such information that has become available since the previous status review for each species.
 DATES: To allow us adequate time to conduct these reviews, we must receive your comments or information on or before September 13, 2021. However, we will continue to accept new 
                        ( print page 37179)
                        information about any listed species at any time.
 ADDRESSES: For instructions on how and where to request or submit information, see Request for New Information under 
                        **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION**
                        .

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year status reviews under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 
                    *et seq.*), for 21 plant and 16 animal species. A 5-year status review is based on the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review; therefore, we are requesting submission of any such information that has become available since the last review for the species, particularly information on the status, threats, and recovery of the species that may have become available. Why do we conduct 5-year reviews? Under the ESA, we maintain Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (which we collectively refer to as the List) in title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations at 50 CFR 17.11(h) (for wildlife) and 50 CFR 17.12(h) (for plants). Listed wildlife and plants can also be found at 
                    *http://ecos.fws.gov/​tess_​public/​pub/​listedAnimals.jsp*
                     and 
                    *http://ecos.fws.gov/​tess_​public/​pub/​listedPlants.jsp,*
                     respectively. Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA requires us to review each listed species' status at least once every 5 years. Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish a notice in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     announcing species under active review; however, we may review the status of any species at any time based upon a petition or other information available to us. For additional information about 5-year reviews, refer to our fact sheet at 
                    *http://www.fws.gov/​endangered/​what-we-do/​recovery-overview.html.* Which species are under review? This notice announces our active 5-year status reviews of the species in the following table. Common name/

 What information do we consider in our 5-year reviews? A 5-year review considers all new information available at the time of the review. In conducting the review, we consider the best scientific and commercial data that have become available since the most recent status review. Specifically, we are seeking new information regarding: (1) Species biology, including but not limited to life history and habitat requirements and impact tolerance thresholds; (2) Historical and current population conditions, including but not limited to population abundance, trends, distribution, demographics, and genetics; (3) Historical and current habitat conditions, including but not limited to amount, distribution, and suitability; (4) Historical and current threats, threat trends, and threat projections in relation to the five listing factors (as defined in section 4(a)(1) of the ESA); (5) Conservation measures for the species that have been implemented or are planned; and (6) Other new information, data, or corrections, including but not limited to taxonomic or nomenclatural changes, identification of erroneous information contained in the List, and improved analytical methods. Any new information received will be considered during the 5-year review and may be useful in evaluating ongoing recovery programs for the species.
