-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On Wednesday, December 16, 2009, we, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, announced a 90-day finding on 192 species from a
petition to list 475 species in the Southwest region of the United
States as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (Act). In that notice, we used an incorrect docket
number in one place and asked commenters submitting hardcopy comments
to refer to this docket number in their comments. The correct docket
number is [FWS-R2-ES-2008-0130]. However, comments we received under
the incorrect docket number will be routed to the correct docket. If
you already submitted a comment, even with the incorrect docket number,
you need not resubmit it.
DATES: To allow us adequate time to conduct a status review, we request
that we receive information on or before February 16, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On Wednesday, December 16, 2009, we
announced a 90-day finding on 192 species from a petition we received
to list 475 species in the Southwest region of the United States as
threatened or endangered under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (74 FR
66865). We found that the petition presented substantial information
indicating that 67 of the 192 species may warrant listing as threatened
or endangered. When we make a finding that a petition presents
substantial information indicating that listing a species may be
warranted, we are required to promptly review the status of the species
(status review). For the status review to be complete and based on the
best available scientific and commercial information, we requested
information on each of the 67 species from governmental agencies,
Native American Tribes, the scientific community, industry, and any
other interested parties.
In that notice, we asked commenters to refer to an incorrect docket
number when submitting comments via U.S. mail or hand delivery. The
correct docket number is [FWS-R2-ES-2008-0130], and our instructions to
persons submitting comments electronically included the correct docket
number. All hardcopy comments received under the incorrect docket
number will be routed to the correct docket. If you already submitted a
comment, even with the incorrect docket number, you need not resubmit
it. For more information about the species, background, and our
finding, see our original notice at 74 FR 66865.

Federal Register Liaison.
