Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 170 / Thursday, September 2, 2010 / Notices 53979 

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 (see five 

factors under heading ‘‘How Do We 

Determine Whether a Species is 

Endangered or Threatened?’’); and 

(E) Other new information, data, or 

corrections. 

IV. How do we determine whether a 

species is endangered or threatened? 

Section 4(a)(1) of the Act requires that 

we determine whether a species is 

endangered or threatened based on one 

or more of the five following factors: 

(A) The present or threatened 

destruction, modification, or 

curtailment of its habitat or range; 

(B) Overutilization for commercial, 

recreational, scientific, or educational 

purposes; 

(C) Disease or predation; 

(D) The inadequacy of existing 

regulatory mechanisms; or 

(E) Other natural or manmade factors 

affecting its continued existence. 

Under section 4(b)(1) of the Act, we 

must base our assessment of these 

factors solely on the best scientific and 

commercial data available. 

V. What could happen as a result of this 

review? 

For each species under review, if we 

find new information indicating a 

change in classification is warranted, we 

may propose a new rule that could do 

one of the following: 

(A) Reclassify the species from 

endangered to threatened (downlist); or 

(B) Remove the species from the List 

(delist). 

If we determine that a change in 

classification is not warranted, then the 

species remains on the List under its 

current status. 

VI. 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 

to gather and analyze the data, and/or 

copies of any pertinent publications, 

reports, or letters by knowledgeable 

sources. 

If you wish to provide information for 

any species included in these 5-year 

reviews, please submit your comments 

and materials to the Field Supervisor of 

the appropriate Fish and Wildlife Office 

(see ADDRESSES section).

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your
