Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of 5-
Year Reviews of 34 Species in California and Nevada; Availability of 96
Completed 5-Year Reviews in California and Nevada
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of initiation of 5-year reviews; availability of
completed 5-year reviews.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year
reviews for 34 species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act). We request any new information on these species that may
have a bearing on their classification as endangered or threatened.
Based on the results of these 5-year reviews, we will make a finding on
whether these species are properly classified under the Act. We also
announce in this notice 96 completed 5-year reviews for species in
California and Nevada in Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 and early (FY) 2010.
DATES: To allow us adequate time to conduct these reviews, we must
receive your information no later than July 20, 2010. However, we will
continue to accept new information about any listed species at any
time.
ADDRESSES: For instructions on how to submit information and review the
information that we receive on these species, see ``Request for New
Information.''
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For species-specific information,
contact the appropriate person listed under ``Request for New
Information.'' For contact information about completed 5-year reviews,
see ``Completed 5-Year Reviews.'' Individuals who are hearing-impaired
or speech-impaired may call the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8337
for TTY assistance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Why do we conduct a 5-year review?
Under the Endangered Species Act (Act) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we
maintain a List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants at 50
CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12 (for plants) (List). We amend the
List by publishing final rules in the Federal Register. Section
4(c)(2)(A) of the Act requires that we conduct a review of listed
species at least once every 5 years. Section 4(c)(2)(B) requires that
we determine (1) Whether a species no longer meets the definition of
threatened or endangered and should be removed from the List
(delisted); (2) whether a species listed as endangered more properly
meets the definition of threatened and should be reclassified to
threatened; or (3) whether a species listed as threatened more properly
meets the definition of endangered and should be reclassified to
endangered. Using the best scientific and commercial data available, we
will consider a species for delisting if the data substantiate that the
species is neither endangered nor threatened for one or more of the
following reasons: (1) The species is considered extinct; (2) the
species is considered to be recovered; and/or (3) the original data
available when the species was listed, or the interpretation of such
data, were in error. Any change in Federal classification requires a
separate rulemaking process. We are requesting submission of any new
information (best scientific and commercial data) on these species
since they were originally listed or since the species' most recent
status review.
Our regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR
424.21 require that we publish a notice in the Federal Register
announcing those species currently under review. This notice announces
initiation of our active review of 34 species in California, and Nevada
(Table 1).

What information do we consider in the review?
In our 5-year review, we consider 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
current listing determination or the 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 the five
factors under the heading ``How Do We Determine Whether a Species is
Endangered or Threatened?''); 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.
Request for New Information
We request any new information concerning the status of these
wildlife and plant species. See ``What Information Do We Consider in
Our Review?'' for specific criteria. If you submit information, 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. We
specifically request information regarding data from any
[[Page 28638]]
systematic surveys, as well as any studies or analysis of data that may
show population size or trends; information pertaining to the biology
or ecology of these species; information regarding the effects of
current land management on population distribution and abundance;
information on the current condition of habitat; and recent information
regarding conservation measures that have been implemented to benefit
the species. Additionally, we specifically request information
regarding the current distribution of populations and evaluation of
threats faced by the species in relation to the five listing factors
(as defined in section 4(a)(1) of the Act) and the species' listed
status as judged against the definition of threatened or endangered.
Finally, we request recommendations pertaining to the development of,
or potential updates to, recovery plans and additional actions or
studies that would benefit these species in the future.
Our practice is to make information, including names and home
addresses of respondents, available for public review. Before including
your address, telephone number, e-mail address, or other personal
identifying information in your response, you should be aware that your
entire submission--including your personal identifying information--may
be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your
response to withhold your personal identifying information from public
review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. We will not
consider anonymous comments. To the extent consistent with applicable
law, we will make all submissions from organizations or businesses, and
from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials
of organizations or businesses, available for public inspection in

How are these species currently listed?
The current listing status of each species for which we are
initiating 5-year reviews in this notice is in Table 1 above. The
current status may also be found on the List, which covers all
endangered and threatened species, and which is available on our
Internet site at http://endangered.fws.gov/wildlife.html#Species.
Definitions
To help you submit information about the species we are reviewing,
we provide the following definitions:
Species includes any species or subspecies of fish, wildlife, or
plant, and any distinct population segment of any species of
vertebrate, which interbreeds when mature.
Endangered species means any species that is in danger of
extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.
Threatened species means any species that is likely to become an
endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a
significant portion of its range.
Experimental population means any population (including any
offspring arising solely therefrom) authorized by the Secretary of the
Interior for release outside the current range of nonexperimental
populations of the same species, but only when, and at such times as,
the population is wholly separate geographically from nonexperimental
populations of the same species. Each member of a nonessential
experimental population shall be treated, except when it occurs in an
area within the National Wildlife Refuge System or the National Park
System, as a species proposed to be listed under section 4 of the
Endangered Species Act.
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
[[Page 28639]]
existing regulatory mechanisms; or (E) Other natural or manmade factors
affecting its continued existence. Section 4(b)(1)(A) of the Act
requires that our determination be made on the basis of the best
scientific and commercial data available.
What could happen as a result of our review?
For each species under review, if we find new information that
indicates a change in classification may be warranted, we may propose a
new rule that could do one of the following: (a) Reclassify the species
from threatened to endangered (uplist); (b) reclassify the species from
endangered to threatened (downlist); or (c) remove the species from the
List (delist). If we determine that a change in classification is not
warranted, then the species will remain on the List under its current
status.
Completed 5-Year Reviews
We also take this opportunity to inform the public of 96 5-year
reviews that we completed in FY 2009 and early FY 2010 for species in
California and Nevada (Table 2). These 96 reviews can be found at
http://www.fws.gov/cno/es/5yr.html. Any recommended change in listing
status resulting from these completed reviews will require a separate
rulemaking process.
