ACTION: Notice of initiation of reviews; request for information. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year status reviews for 167 species in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, California, Hawaii, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Two of these species also occur outside of U.S. jurisdiction in Canada and the South Pacific. A 5-year status 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 reviews. DATES: To ensure consideration in our reviews, we are requesting submission of new information no later than July 11, 2022. However, we will continue to accept new information about any species at any time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Why do we conduct 5-year status 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) of the Act requires us to review each listed species' status at least once every 5 years. For additional information about 5-year status reviews, refer to our factsheet at https://www.fws.gov/endangered/what-we-do/recovery-overview.html. What information do we consider in our review? A 5-year status 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 reviews, 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 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 status review and will also be useful in evaluating the ongoing recovery programs for these species. Which species are under review? This notice announces our active review of 167 species, including 4 birds, 1 reptile, 50 snails, 9 insects, and 103 plants, as listed in the table below.
