Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 226 / Monday, November 24, 2014 / Notices 69881 

Background 

Recovery of endangered or threatened 

animals and plants to the point where 

they are again secure, self-sustaining 

members of their ecosystems is a 

primary goal of our endangered species 

program and the Endangered Species 

Act of 1973, as amended (Act; 16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.). Recovery means 

improvement of the status of listed 

species to the point at which listing is 

no longer appropriate under the criteria 

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

The Act requires the development of 

recovery plans for listed species, unless 

such a plan would not promote the 

conservation of a particular species. 

We listed Santa Ana sucker 

(Catostomus santaanae) throughout its 

entire range on April 12, 2000 (71 FR 

19686). The species is endemic to the 

Los Angeles, San Gabriel, and Santa 

Ana River Basins in southern California. 

Santa Ana sucker is a small, short-lived 

member of the sucker family of fishes 

(Catostomidae), named so primarily 

because of the downward orientation 

and anatomy of its mouth parts, which 

allow it to consume algae, small 

invertebrates, and other organic matter 

with its fleshy, protrusible (extendable) 

lips. 

The primary threat to Santa Ana 

sucker is ongoing, rangewide 

hydrological modifications, which lead 

to degradation and loss of habitat. 

Additionally, isolation by impassable 

barriers or unsuitable habitat limits gene 

flow within the watersheds, thus 

increasing the vulnerability of small 

occurrences to a range of stochastic 

(random) factors. 

Recovery Plan Goals 

The purpose of a recovery plan is to 

provide a framework for the recovery of 

species so that protection under the Act 

is no longer necessary. A recovery plan 

includes scientific information about 

the species and provides criteria that 

enable us to gauge whether downlisting 

or delisting the species is warranted. 

Furthermore, recovery plans help guide 

our recovery efforts by describing 

actions we consider necessary for each 

species’ conservation and by estimating 

time and costs for implementing needed 

recovery measures. 

The ultimate goal of this recovery 

plan is to recover Santa Ana sucker so 

that it can be delisted. To meet the 

recovery goal, the following objectives 

have been identified: 

(1) Develop and implement a 

rangewide monitoring protocol to 

accurately and consistently document 

populations, occupied habitat, and 

threats. 

(2) Conduct research projects 

specifically designed to inform 

management actions and recovery. 

(3) Increase the abundance and 

develop a more even distribution of 

Santa Ana sucker within its current 

range by reducing threats to the species 

and its habitat. 

(4) Expand the range of the Santa Ana 

sucker by restoring habitat (if needed), 

and reestablishing occurrences within 

its historical range. 

As the Santa Ana sucker meets 

reclassification and recovery criteria, we 

will review its status and consider it for 

removal from the Federal List of 

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. 

Request for Public Comments 

We request written comments on the 

draft revised recovery plan described in 

this notice. All comments received by 

the date specified in the DATES section 

will be considered in development of a 

final recovery plan for Santa Ana 

sucker. You may submit written 

comments and information by mail or in 

person to the Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife 

Office at the address in the ADDRESSES

section. 

Public Availability of Comments 

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

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Authority 

We developed our recovery plan 

under the authority of section 4(f) of the 

Act, 16 U.S.C. 1533(f). We publish this 

notice under section 4(f) of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

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