Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 5-Year Status
Reviews of Three Species in Washington, Oregon, and California;
Reopening of Public Comment Period
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
[[Page 22140]]
ACTION: Notice of initiation of reviews; request for information;
reopening of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, recently initiated 5-
year reviews for the Oregon silverspot butterfly (Speyeria zerene
hippolyta), northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina), and
Stephanomeria malheurensis (Malheur wire-lettuce) under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
for details. Because we may not have received some comments submitted
by email, we now reopen the comment period. 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 our
5-year reviews we will determine whether these species are properly
classified under the Act.
DATES: To ensure consideration in our reviews, we are requesting
submission of new information no later than May 20, 2011. However, we
will continue to accept new information about any listed species at any
time.
ADDRESSES: Submit information to: Field Supervisor, Attention: 5-Year
Review, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Oregon Fish and Wildlife
Office, 2600 SE. 98th Avenue, Suite 100, Portland, OR 97266.
Information can also be submitted by e-mail to:
fw1or5yearreview@fws.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 24, 2010, we published a notice
initiating 5-year reviews for 58 species in Washington, Oregon,
California, and Hawaii and requesting public comment for a 60-day
comment period (75 FR 71726). Due to a typographical error in the email
address for the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Office, we may not have
received some comments for three of these species (Oregon silverspot
butterfly, northern spotted owl, and Stephanomeria malheurensis) if
they were submitted by email. Therefore, we are reopening the comment
period for these three species to allow comments to be resubmitted if
necessary. Comments that were originally sent by regular mail, or
comments addressing the other 55 species in the original notice, need
not be resubmitted.
Please refer to our notice of November 24, 2010, for background
information on the 5-year review process. As stated in that notice, 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. 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.

information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.
Comments and materials received will be available for public
inspection, by appointment, during normal business hours at the offices
where the comments are submitted.
