Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of 5-
Year Status Reviews of 40 Species in California, Nevada, and Oregon
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of initiation of reviews; request for information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year
status reviews of 40 species in California, Nevada, and Oregon under
the Endangered Species Act. A 5-year review is based on the best
scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review;
therefore, we are requesting submission of any new information on these
species that has become available since the last review.
DATES: To ensure consideration in our reviews, we are requesting
submission of new information no later than April 4, 2022. However, we
will continue to accept new information about any species at any time.
ADDRESSES: For how and where to send information and comments, see
Request for New Information.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bjorn Erickson at 916-414-6741. For
whom to contact for species-specific information, see Request for New
Information. 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 5-year reviews?
Under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act; 16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we maintain lists of endangered and threatened
wildlife and plant species (referred to as the List) in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.11 (for wildlife) 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. For additional
information about 5-year reviews, refer to our factsheet at
[[Page 5833]]
http://www.fws.gov/endangered/what-we-do/recovery-overview.html.
What information do we consider in our review?
A 5-year review considers all new information available at the time
of the review. In conducting these reviews, we consider the best
scientific and commercial data that have become available since the
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 to benefit the
species;
(D) Threat status and trends in relation to the five listing
factors (as defined in section 4(a)(1) of the Act); 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.
Any new information will be considered during the 5-year review and
will also be useful in evaluating the ongoing recovery programs for the
species.
