portions of all six Texas counties where 

the Houston toad is extant, and 

represent the areas most likely to 

encapsulate at least one 

metapopulation. The revised recovery 

plan provides recovery criteria aimed at 

managing or eliminating threats to meet 

the goal of delisting the species. These 

recovery criteria are based on the 

conservation of undisturbed forested 

areas that are protected from future 

development, and the establishment of 

multiple Houston toad metapopulations 

composed of interconnected 

subpopulations. The site-specific 

management actions needed to address 

threats to Houston toad viability and 

achieve the recovery criteria involve: (1) 

Conserving, restoring, and protecting 

habitat; (2) captive propagation and 

supplementation; (3) establishing a 

monitoring program; (4) conducting 

research; (5) expanding monitoring into 

new areas; (6) conducting public 

education and outreach; (7) identifying 

effective habitat management strategies; 

and (8) effectively planning and 

coordinating recovery implementation. 

Request for Public Comments 

Section 4(f) of the ESA requires us to 

provide public notice and an 

opportunity for public review and 

comment during recovery plan 

development. It is also our policy to 

request peer review of recovery plans 

(July 1, 1994; 59 FR 34270). In an 

appendix to the approved recovery plan, 

we will summarize and respond to the 

issues raised by the public and peer 

reviewers. Substantive comments may 

or may not result in changes to the 

recovery plan; comments regarding 

recovery plan implementation will be 

forwarded as appropriate to Federal or 

other entities so that they can be taken 

into account during the course of 

implementing recovery actions. 

Responses to individual commenters 

will not be provided, but we will 

provide a summary of how we 

addressed substantive comments in an 

appendix to the approved recovery plan. 

We invite written comments on the 

draft recovery plan. In particular, we are 

interested in additional information 

regarding the current threats to the 

species and the implementation of the 

recommended recovery actions. 

Public Availability of Comments 

All comments received, including 

names and addresses, will become part 

of the administrative record and will be 

available to the public. 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. If you submit a 

hardcopy comment that includes 

personal identifying information, you 

may request at the top of your document 

that we withhold this information from 

public review. However, we cannot 

guarantee that we will be able to do so. 

Authority 

We developed our draft recovery plan 

and publish this notice under the 

authority of section 4(f) of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

provide the general public and other

utility, and clarity of the information to

agency minimize the burden of this 

collection on the respondents, including 

through the use of information 

technology. 

Comments that you submit in

Abstract: Public Law 95–87 

authorizes Federal, State, and Tribal 

governments to reclaim private lands 

and allows for the establishment of 

procedures for the recovery of the cost 

of reclamation activities on privately 

owned lands. These procedures are 

intended to ensure that governments 

have sufficient capability to file liens so 

that certain landowners will not receive 

a windfall from reclamation. 

Title of Collection: Reclamation on 

Private Lands. 

OMB Control Number: 1029–0057. 

Form Number: None.
