Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants: Draft Recovery Plan for Four Invertebrate Species of the Pecos River Valley

We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the availability of our draft recovery plan for four invertebrate species-- Noel's Amphipod, Koster's springsnail, Roswell springsnail, and Pecos assiminea--all of which are listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). These invertebrate species are currently found in southeastern New Mexico and southwest Texas. The draft recovery plan includes specific recovery objectives and criteria to be met in order to enable us to remove these species from the list of endangered and threatened wildlife and plants. We request review and comment on this plan from local, State, and Federal agencies; Tribes; and the public. We will also accept any new information on the status of these species throughout their range to assist in finalizing the recovery plan.
