entirety. 

We will evaluate this permit 

application, associated documents, and 

comments submitted thereon to 

determine whether the permit 

application meets the requirements of 

section 10(a) of the Act and NEPA 

regulations at 40 CFR 1506.6. If we 

determine that the requirements are 

met, we will sign the proposed 

Agreement and issue and enhancement 

of survival permit under section 

10(a)(1)(A) of the Act to the Applicants 

for take of the California red-legged frog 

incidental to otherwise lawful activities 

in accordance with the terms of the 

Agreement. We will not make our final 

decision until after the end of the 30- 

day comment period and will fully 

consider all comments received during 

the comment period.

Draft Revised Recovery Plan for the 

Attwater’s Prairie-Chicken 

(Tympanuchus cupido attwateri) 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of document availability. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), announce the 

availability of the draft revised recovery 

plan for the Attwater’s prairie-chicken 

(Tympanuchus cupido attwateri). This 

is the second revision of the recovery 

plan for this species; the original was 

completed in 1983. We are soliciting 

review and comment from the public on 

this draft revised recovery plan. 

DATES: To ensure consideration, we 

must receive comments by January 18, 

2008. 

ADDRESSES: You may obtain copies of 

the recovery plan on CD from the Refuge 

Manager, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, Attwater Prairie Chicken 

National Wildlife Refuge, P.O. Box 519, 

Eagle Lake, Texas 77434, or download it

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 

(Act), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.) 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 provided 

during a public comment period prior to 

approval of each new or revised 

recovery plan. The Service and others 

take these comments into account in the 

course of implementing recovery plans. 

The Attwater’s prairie-chicken was 

listed as Endangered with Extinction in 

1967. This listing was ‘‘grandfathered’’

into the Endangered Species Act of 

1973. Critical habitat has not been 

designated for this species. Attwater’s 

prairie-chickens occur only in coastal 

prairie habitats of Texas in the United 

States. Fewer than 50 individuals exist 

in the wild at 2 locations, and 

approximately 150 Attwater’s are in 

captivity at 7 sites. With so few 

individuals surviving, the population 

remains in imminent danger of 

extinction. Habitat destruction and 

degradation, and to a lesser extent over 

harvesting, are the primary factors 

contributing to historic population 

declines. Current threats include 

extremely small populations, habitat 

and population fragmentation resulting 

in genetic isolation, diseases and 

parasites in both the wild and captive 

setting, inability of captive breeding 

facilities to produce large numbers of 

captively-reared birds that are capable 

of survival and reproduction in wild 

habitats, and poor brood survival in 

wild populations. 

The revised recovery plan includes 

scientific information about the species 

and provides objectives and actions 

needed to recover the Attwater’s prairiechicken and ultimately remove it from 

the list of threatened and endangered 

species. Recovery actions designed to 

achieve these objectives include 

restoration of a network of large, high 

quality grasslands within a large (greater 

than 100 linear miles) geographic area to 

minimize threats from catastrophic 

weather and allow for gene flow among 

populations, maintenance of 90 percent 

of original gene diversity in a captive 

flock of 200 for 20 years, increasing 

production of the captive flock to allow 

for release at multiple sites, 

establishment of multiple greater than 

500-bird populations within the 

grassland network, and broadening 

public support and partner efforts to 

conserve the Attwater’s and its coastal 

prairie ecosystem. 

The current recovery goal is to protect 

and ensure the survival of the Attwater’s 

prairie-chicken and its habitat, allowing 

the population to reach a measurable 

level of ecological and genetic stability 

so that it can be reclassified to 

threatened status (downlisted) and 

ultimately removed from the 

endangered species list (delist). 

Downlisting can be considered when 

the population maintains a minimum of 

3,000 breeding adults annually over a 5- 

year period. These birds should be 

distributed along a linear distance of no 

less then 50 miles to mitigate for 

environmental stochasticity (e.g., 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 222 / Monday, November 19, 2007 / Notices 65059 

hurricanes, drought) while maintaining 

gene flow. Delisting can be considered 

when the population reaches a 

minimum of 6,000 breeding adults over 

a 10-year period, and occupies habitats 

along a linear distance of no less than 

100 miles. We estimate approximately 

50 years will be required to achieve the 

delisting criteria. 

Public Availability of Comments 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment, including your 

personal identifying information, may

While we will try to honor your written 

request to withhold your personal 

identifying information from public 

review, we cannot guarantee that we 

will be able to do so.
