SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), are initiating 

5-year status reviews for 76 species in 

Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Montana, 

and Idaho under the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). 

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 new information on these species 

that has become available since the last 

review. 

DATES: To ensure consideration in our 

reviews, we are requesting submission 

of new information no later than April 

12, 2016. However, we will continue to 

accept new information about any listed 

species at any time. 

ADDRESSES: For the 67 species in Hawaii 

(see table below), submit information 

via U.S. mail to: Deputy Field 

Supervisor—Programmatic; Attention:

daisy, Kincaid’s lupine, and rough 

popcornflower, submit information via 

U.S. mail to: Field Supervisor; 

Attention: 5-Year Review; U.S. Fish and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Why do we conduct 5-year reviews? 

Under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), 

we maintain Lists of Endangered and 

Threatened Wildlife and Plants (which 

we collectively refer to as the List) in 

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 

50 CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12 

(for plants). Section 4(c)(2) of the Act 

requires us to review each listed 

species’ status at least once every 5 

years. For additional information about 

5-year reviews, go to http://

www.fws.gov/endangered/what-we-do/

recovery-overview.html, scroll down to 

‘‘Learn More about 5-Year Reviews,’’ 

and click on our factsheet. 

What information do we consider in the 

review? 

A 5-year review considers all new 

information available at the time of the 

review. In conducting these reviews, we 

consider the best scientific and 

commercial data that has become 

available since the listing determination 

or most recent status review, such as: 

(A) Species biology, including but not 

limited to population trends, distribution, 

abundance, demographics, and genetics; 

(B) Habitat conditions, including but not 

limited to amount, distribution, and 

suitability; 

(C) Conservation measures that have been 

implemented that benefit the species; 

(D) Threat status and trends in relation to 

the five listing factors (as defined in section 

4(a)(1) of the Act); and 

(E) 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 will be 

considered during the 5-year review and 

will also be useful in evaluating the 

ongoing recovery programs for these 

species.

Request for New Information 

To ensure that a 5-year review is 

complete and based on the best 

available scientific and commercial 

information, we request new 

information from all sources. See ‘‘What 

Information Do We Consider in Our 

Review?’’ for specific criteria. If you 

submit information, please support it 

with documentation such as maps, 

bibliographic references, methods used

Endangered Species; Issuance of 

Permits 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of issuance of permits. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, have issued the 

following permits to conduct certain 

activities with endangered and 

threatened species under the authority 

of the Endangered Species Act, as 

amended (Act). With some exceptions, 

the Act prohibits activities with listed 

species unless a Federal permit is issued 

that allows such activity. We provide 

this list for the convenience of the 

public as a summary of our permit 

issuances for the calendar year 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: See 

the contact information in the Permits 

Issued section. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We have 

issued the following permits to conduct 

activities with endangered and 

threatened species in response to 

recovery permit applications that we 

received under the authority of section 

10(a)(1)(A) of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.). These permits were issued 

between January 1, 2015, and December 

31, 2015. Each permit was issued only 

after we determined that it was applied 

for in good faith, that granting the 

permit would not be to the disadvantage 

of the listed species, that the proposed 

activities were for scientific research or 

would benefit the recovery or the 

enhancement of survival of the species, 

and that the terms and conditions of the 

permits were consistent with the 

purposes and policy set forth in the Act. 

Permits Issued 

Region 1 (Pacific Region: Hawaii and 

Other Pacific Islands, Idaho, Oregon 

(except for Klamath Basin), and 

Washington) 

The following permits were applied 

for and issued in Region 1. For more
