ETWP; Proposed Rule To Remove Potentilla robbinsiana (Robbin's cinquefoil) From the Endangered and Threatened Plant List

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to remove Potentilla robbinsiana, commonly called Robbins' cinquefoil, from the List of Endangered and Threatened Plants. We propose this action because the available data indicate that this species has met the goals for delisting. The main population of the species currently has more than 14,000 plants, and the 2 transplant populations have reached or surpassed minimum viable population size. The proposed action, if finalized, would remove Potentilla robbinsiana as an endangered species from the List of Endangered and Threatened Plants and would remove the designation of critical habitat. This proposed rule includes a proposed 5-year post-delisting monitoring plan as required for species that are delisted due to recovery. The plan will include monitoring of population trends of natural and transplant populations.
