Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 5-Year Reviews of
Species in California, Nevada, and the Klamath Basin of Oregon
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year
reviews for 53 species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act). We conduct these reviews to ensure that our
classification of each species on the Lists of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife and Plants as threatened or endangered is accurate.
A 5-year review assesses the best scientific and commercial data
available at the time of the review. We are requesting any information
that has become available since our original listing of each of these
species. Based on review results, we will determine whether we should
change the listing status of any of these species. In this notice, we
also announce 5-year reviews that were completed for 32 species in
California and Nevada between April 1, 2010, and March 16, 2011.
DATES: To ensure consideration, please send your written information by
July 25, 2011.
ADDRESSES: For how and where to send comments or information, see
``VIII., Contacts.''
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For species-specific information,
contact the appropriate person listed under VIII., Contacts.'' For
contact information about completed 5-year reviews, see '' IX.,
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:
I. Why do we conduct 5-year reviews?
Under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we maintain Lists of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (which we collectively
refer to as the List) in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50
CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12 (for plants). Section 4(c)(2)(A) of
the Act requires us to review each listed species' status at least once
every 5 years. Then, under section 4(c)(2)(B), we determine whether to
remove any species from the List (delist), to reclassify it from
endangered to threatened, or to reclassify it from threatened to
endangered. Any change in Federal classification requires a separate
rulemaking process.
In classifying, we use the following definitions, from 50 CFR
424.02:
(A) Species includes any species or subspecies of fish, wildlife,
or plant, and any distinct population segment of any species of
vertebrate, that interbreeds when mature;
(B) Endangered species means any species that is in danger of
extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range; and
(C) 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.
We must support delisting by the best scientific and commercial
data available, and only consider delisting if data substantiate that
the species is neither endangered nor threatened for one or more of the
following reasons (50 CFR 424.11(d)):
(A) The species is considered extinct;
(B) The species is considered to be recovered; or
(C) The original data available when the species was listed, or the
interpretation of data, were in error.
[[Page 30378]]
Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish a notice
in the Federal Register announcing the species we are reviewing.
II. What species are under review?
This notice announces our active 5-year status reviews of the
species in Table 1.

III. What information do we consider in our review?
We consider all new information available at the time we conduct a
5-year status review. We consider the best scientific and commercial
data that has become available since our current listing determination
or 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 five factors under heading ``IV.,
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.
We specifically request information regarding data from any
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
[[Page 30380]]
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.
IV. 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 existing regulatory mechanisms; or
(E) Other natural or manmade factors affecting its continued
existence.
Under section 4(b)(1) of the Act, we must base our assessment of
these factors solely on the best scientific and commercial data
available.
V. 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 remains on the List under its current status.
VI. Request for New Information
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. See ``III., 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.
Submit your comments and materials to the appropriate Fish and
Wildlife Office listed under ``VIII., Contacts.''
VII. Public Availability of Comments

other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying
information--may 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. Comments and materials received will be available for
public inspection, by appointment, during normal business hours at the
