Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of 5-
Year Reviews of 58 Species in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah;
Availability of Completed 5-Year Reviews in California and Nevada
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of initiation of 5-year reviews; availability of
completed 5-year reviews.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, initiate 5-year
reviews for 58 species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act). We request any new information on these species that may
have a bearing on their classification as endangered or threatened (see
Table 1 below). Based on the results of these 5-year reviews, we will
make a finding on whether these species are properly classified under
the Act. We also indicate in this notice 42 5-year reviews we completed
for species in California and Nevada in mid to late Fiscal Year (FY)
2008. Reviews we completed for 16 species in early FY 2008 were
indicated in our previous initiation notice published in the Federal
Register on March 5, 2008 (73 FR 11945).
DATES: To allow us adequate time to conduct these reviews, we must
receive your information no later than May 26, 2009. However, we will
continue to accept new information about any listed species at any
time.
ADDRESSES: For instructions on how to submit information and review the
information that we receive on these species, see ``Public Solicitation
of New Information.''
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For species-specific information,
contact the appropriate person listed under ``Public Solicitation of
New Information.'' For contact information about completed 5-year
reviews, see ``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:
Why Do We Conduct a 5-Year Review
Under the Endangered Species Act (Act) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we
maintain a List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants at 50
CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12 (for plants) (List). We amend the
List by publishing final rules in the Federal Register. Section
4(c)(2)(A) of the Act requires that we conduct a review of listed
species at least once every 5 years. Section 4(c)(2)(B) requires that
we determine (1) whether a species no longer meets the definition of
threatened or endangered and should be removed from the List
(delisted); (2) whether a species listed as endangered more properly
meets the definition of threatened and should be reclassified to
threatened; or (3) whether a species listed as threatened more properly
meets the definition of endangered and should be reclassified to
endangered. Using the best scientific and commercial data available, a
species will be considered for delisting if the data substantiate that
the species is neither endangered nor threatened for one or more of the
following reasons: (1) The species is considered extinct; (2) the
species is considered to be recovered; and/or (3) the original data
available when the species was listed, or the interpretation of such
data, were in error. Any change in Federal classification requires a
separate rulemaking process. We are requesting submission of any new
information (best scientific and commercial data) on these species
since they were originally listed or since the species' most recent
status review.
Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish a notice
in the Federal Register announcing those species currently under
review. This notice announces initiation of our active review of 58
species in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. This notice announces
initiation of our active review of the species in Table 1.

What Information Do We Consider in the Review
In our 5-year review, we consider all new information available at
the time of the review. In conducting these reviews, we consider the
best scientific and commercial data that has become available since the
current listing determination or the 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;
[[Page 12881]]
(D) Threat status and trends (see the five factors under the heading
``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.
Public Solicitation of New Information
We request any new information concerning the status of these
wildlife and plant species. See ``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. 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 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 solicit
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.
Our practice is to make information, including names and home
addresses of respondents, available for public review. Before including
your address, telephone number, e-mail address, or other personal
identifying information in your response, you should be aware that your
entire submission--including your personal identifying information--may
be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your
response to withhold your personal identifying information from public
review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. We will not
consider anonymous comments. To the extent consistent with applicable
law, we will make all submissions from organizations or businesses, and
from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials
of organizations or businesses, available for public inspection in
their entirety. Comments and materials received will be available for
public inspection, by appointment, during normal business hours at the
offices where the comments are submitted.

How Are These Species Currently Listed
The current listing status of species for which 5-year reviews are
being initiated by this notice is identified in Table 1 above. The
current status may
[[Page 12882]]
also be found on the List, which covers all endangered and threatened
species, and which is available on our Internet site at http://endangered.fws.gov/wildlife.html#Species.
Definitions Related to This Notice
To help you submit information about the species we are reviewing,
we provide the following definitions:
Species includes any species or subspecies of fish, wildlife, or
plant, and any distinct population segment of any species of
vertebrate, which interbreeds when mature;
Endangered species means any species that is in danger of
extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range; and
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.
Experimental population means any population (including any
offspring arising solely therefrom) authorized by the Secretary of the
Interior for release outside the current range of nonexperimental
populations of the same species, but only when, and at such times as,
the population is wholly separate geographically from nonexperimental
populations of the same species. Each member of a nonessential
experimental population shall be treated, except when it occurs in an
area within the National Wildlife Refuge System or the National Park
System, as a species proposed to be listed under section 4 of the
Endangered Species Act.
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. Section 4(b)(1)(A) of the Act
requires that our determination be made on the basis of the best
scientific and commercial data available.
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 will remain on the List under its current
status.
Completed 5-Year Reviews
We also take this opportunity to inform the public of 42 5-year
reviews that we completed in mid to late FY 2008 for species in
California and Nevada. These 42 reviews can be found at http://www.fws.gov/cno/es/5yr.html. Any recommended change in listing status
will require a separate rulemaking process. The table below summarizes
the results of these reviews:
