improvement of the status of listed 

species to the point at which listing is 

no longer required under the criteria set 

out in section 4(a)(1) of the Act. 

Recovery plans describe actions 

necessary for the conservation and 

survival of the species, establish criteria 

for downlisting or delisting listed 

species, and estimate time and cost for 

implementing the measures needed for 

recovery. 

The Act requires the development of 

recovery plans for endangered or 

threatened species unless such a plan 

would not promote the conservation of 

the species. Section 4(f) of the Act 

requires that public notice, and an 

opportunity for public review and 

comment, be provided during recovery 

plan development. The U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (‘‘we’’) will consider all 

information presented during the public 

comment period on each new or revised 

recovery plan. 

The native prairies of western Oregon 

and southwest Washington are among 

the most imperiled ecosystems in the 

United States. Six native prairie species 

in the region—one butterfly and five 

plants—have been added to the Federal 

List of Endangered and Threatened 

Wildlife and Plants since 1988. In this 

draft recovery plan, we develop 

recovery strategies and objectives for 

Fender’s blue butterfly (Icaricia 

icarioides fenderi), Erigeron decumbens 

var. decumbens (Willamette daisy), 

Lomatium bradshawii (Bradshaw’s 

lomatium), Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii (Kincaid’s lupine), Sidalcea 

nelsoniana (Nelson’s checker-mallow) 

and Castilleja levisecta (golden 

paintbrush). When completed, this plan 

will replace and supersede previously 

approved recovery plans for Lomatium 

bradshawii and Sidalcea nelsoniana. It 

will augment, but not replace, the 

existing recovery plan for Castilleja 

levisecta; this new Prairie Species 

Recovery Plan will provide 

recommendations for the reintroduction 

of Castilleja levisecta into its historical 

range in the Willamette Valley, 

consistent with the species’ published 

recovery plan. In addition to recovery 

strategies for these six listed species, the 

plan will recommend conservation 

strategies for one candidate species, the 

Taylor’s checkerspot butterfly 

(Euphydryas editha taylori), and another 

six plant species of concern: 

Delphinium leucophaeum (pale 

larkspur), Delphinium oreganum 

(Willamette Valley larkspur), 

Delphinium pavonaceum (peacock 

larkspur), Horkelia congesta ssp. 

congesta (shaggy horkelia), Sericocarpus 

rigidus (white-topped aster), and 

Sisyrinchium hitchcockii (Hitchcock’s 

blue-eyed grass). All of the species 

addressed in this recovery plan are 

threatened by the continued 

degradation, loss and fragmentation of 

their native prairie ecosystems. 

We developed the draft recovery plan 

in coordination with the Western 

Oregon and Southwestern Washington 

Prairie Species Recovery Team, which 

includes representatives from two 

Federal agencies (U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service and Bureau of Land 

Management), two state agencies 

(Washington Department of Natural 

Resources and Oregon Department of 

Transportation), the Confederated 

Tribes of the Grande Ronde Community 

of Oregon, Washington State University, 

and several other experts from the 

academic and private sectors. 

Our recovery strategy for the species 

addressed in this recovery plan is to 

protect remaining fragments of upland 

and wet prairie habitats and to restore 

them to fully functioning prairie 

ecosystems. The draft recovery plan 

calls for viable populations of the listed 

prairie species to be protected in a series 

of recovery zones distributed across 

their historical ranges. Recovery actions 

will include habitat management, 

restoration of historical disturbance 

regimes, control of noxious nonnative 

plants, carefully planned 

reintroductions, population monitoring, 

active research, and public involvement 

and outreach. The recovery actions are 

designed to ameliorate threats and 

increase population sizes of Fender’s 

blue butterfly, Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii, Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens, Lomatium bradshawii, 

Sidalcea nelsoniana, and Castilleja 

levisecta to achieve recovery goals, 

which, if successful, may allow their 

eventual delisting (removal from the 

List of Endangered and Threatened 

Wildlife and Plants). 

The widespread loss and degradation 

of prairie habitats in western Oregon 

and southwestern Washington have 

been responsible for the decline of many 

other plant and animal species 

associated with these communities. We 

believe that a holistic, ecosystem 

management approach to the restoration 

of prairie habitats will not only 

contribute to the recovery of the listed 

prairie species, but will also contribute 

to the protection of populations of the 

associated prairie species of concern 

discussed in this plan, as well as other 

native prairie species.

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice publishes the 

Liquor Control Code of the Sac & Fox

this Code allows for possession and sale 

of alcoholic beverages within their 

boundaries. This Code will increase the 

ability of the tribal government to

revenue for the continued operation and 

strengthening of the tribal government 

and the delivery of tribal services.
