54568 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 178 / Thursday, September 15, 2005 / Notices 

ACTION: Notice of document availability. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (Service) announces the 

availability of the Final Recovery Plan 

for the Pecos sunflower (Helianthus 

paradoxus). The Pecos sunflower is a 

wetland annual plant that grows on wet, 

alkaline soils at spring seeps, wet 

meadows and pond margins. It occurs in 

seven widely spaced populations in 

west-central and eastern New Mexico 

and west Texas. Loss and/or alteration 

of wetland habitat is the primary threat 

to Pecos sunflower, primarily by surface 

water diversion and wetland filling for 

agriculture and recreational uses, and 

groundwater pumping and aquifer 

depletion for municipal uses. The 

Recovery Plan outlines the necessary 

criteria, objectives, and actions to 

reduce these threats and accomplish the 

goal of delisting the Pecos sunflower. 

ADDRESSES: A copy of the Recovery Plan 

may be requested by contacting the U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service, New Mexico 

Ecological Services Field Office, 2105 

Osuna NE., Albuquerque, New Mexico, 

87113. The Recovery Plan can also be 

obtained from the Internet at http:// 

www.fws.gov/endangered/recovery/.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Pecos sunflower was listed as 

threatened under the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended, 

on October 20, 1999 (64 FR 56582–

56590). The threats facing the survival 

and recovery of this species are the loss 

and alteration of its wetland habitat due 

to aquifer depletions, diversions of 

surface water, and filling wetlands for 

conversion to dry land; competition 

from non-native plant species, including 

Russian olive and tamarisk; excessive 

livestock grazing; and highway 

maintenance and mowing. The Final 

Recovery Plan includes scientific 

information about the species and 

provides the objectives, criteria, and 

actions needed to delist the species. 

Recovery actions designed to achieve 

the objectives and criteria include 

identifying and securing core 

conservation habitats essential for the 

long-term survival of this species, 

continuing life history, population, and 

habitat studies, ensuring compliance 

with existing regulations, and 

promoting opportunities for voluntary 

conservation of the species. 

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. To help 

guide the recovery effort, the Service is 

working to prepare recovery plans for 

most of the listed species native to the 

United States. Recovery plans describe 

actions considered necessary for 

conservation of listed species, establish 

criteria for downlisting or delisting 

those species, and estimate time and 

costs for implementing the recovery 

measures needed. 

The Act requires the development of 

recovery plans for listed species unless 

such a plan would not promote the 

conservation of a particular species. 

Section 4(f) of the Act, as amended in 

1988, requires that public notice and an 

opportunity for public review and 

comment be provided during recovery 

plan development. The Service 

considers all information presented 

during a public comment period prior to 

approval of each new or revised 

recovery plan. The Service and others 

also take these comments into account 

in the course of implementing recovery 

plans. 

A Draft Recovery Plan for Pecos 

sunflower was available for a 30-day 

public comment period beginning July 

2, 2004 (69 FR 40409). The Service also 

requested and received peer review 

from two independent specialists with 

expertise regarding Pecos sunflower and 

closely related species. During the 

comment period, we received letters 

from seven individuals and 

organizations, including both peer 

reviewers. In response to two requests to 

extend the public comment period, we 

re-opened the comment period for an 

additional 30 days on September 14, 

2004 (69 FR 55447). No additional 

comments were received during that 

time. The recovery plan was modified to 

address many of the comments and 

specific responses for substantive 

comments are summarized in appendix 

A of the Final Recovery Plan.
