Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 29 Draft Recovery 
Plan Revisions for 42 Species Across the United States

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability; opening of public comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce for 
public review and comment the availability of 29 draft recovery plan 
revisions, which update recovery criteria for 42 endangered or 
threatened species located in 11 States (Alabama, California, Florida, 
Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, North 
Carolina, and South Carolina) and 4 unincorporated territories (Guam, 
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern 
Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands). We are updating recovery 
criteria to better assist in determining when an endangered species has 
recovered to the point that it may be reclassified as threatened, or 
that the protections afforded by the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 
amended (Act), are no longer necessary and the species may be removed 
from the Act's protections. We request review of these draft recovery 
plan revisions and comments from local, State, Tribal, and Federal 
agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and the public.

DATES: In order to be considered, comments on the draft recovery plan 
revisions must be received on or before July 29, 2019.

ADDRESSES: 
    Reviewing documents: If you wish to review these draft recovery 
plan revisions, you may obtain copies from the website addresses listed 
in the table provided in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. You may also 
request copies of draft recovery plan revisions by contacting the 
individuals listed in the table provided in this notice, relevant to

Background

    In this notice, we announce for public review and comment the 
availability of 29 draft recovery plan revisions, which update recovery 
criteria for 42 endangered or threatened species located in 11 States 
(Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, 
Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, and South Carolina) 
and 4 unincorporated territories (Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto 
Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. 
Virgin Islands). This group of 29 draft recovery plan revisions is the 
second batch of a larger effort under way to revise up to 182 recovery 
plans covering up to 305 species in order to achieve the following 
Department of the Interior Agency Priority Performance Goal outlined in 
the Department's Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2018-2022: ``By 
September 30, 2019, 100% of all Fish and Wildlife Service recovery 
plans will have quantitative criteria for what constitutes a recovered 
species.'' Given the timeline associated with this Agency Priority 
Performance goal, we are relying on the public comment period to 
facilitate an efficient communication, coordination, and collaboration 
process with the wide variety of potential stakeholders we consider 
essential to the development and implementation of recovery plans. 
Recovery plans must be designed so that all stakeholders and the public 
understand the rationale behind the recovery program, whether they were 
involved in writing the plan or not, and recognize their role in its 
implementation. We are, therefore, requesting submission of any 
information that may help achieve (1) the necessary understanding of 
species' biology, threats, and recovery needs; (2) identification of 
implementation issues and concerns; and (3) facilitation of more 
effective implementation associated with these draft revisions that 
revise recovery criteria for these 42 species.
    The Service is required to develop and implement recovery plans 
``for the conservation and survival'' of listed species under section 
4(f) of the Act, unless the Service finds that developing a recovery 
plan would not promote the conservation of the species. The Act also 
requires inclusion of: (1) ``Site-specific management actions as may be 
necessary to achieve the plan's goal for the conservation and survival 
of the species''; (2) ``Objective, measurable criteria which, when met, 
would result in a determination . . . that the species be removed from 
the list''; and (3) ``Estimates of the time required and the cost to 
carry out those measures needed to achieve the plan's goal and to 
achieve intermediate steps toward that goal.''
    The purpose of a recovery plan is to provide a roadmap for a 
species' recovery, with the goal of improving its status and managing 
its threats to the point at which protections under the Act are no 
longer needed. A recovery plan identifies, organizes, and prioritizes 
recovery actions and is, therefore, an important guide to ensure sound 
scientific decision-making throughout the recovery process, which can 
take decades. Recovery plans provide important guidance to the Service, 
States, other partners, and the general public on methods of minimizing 
threats to listed species and measurable objectives against which to 
measure the progress towards recovery; they are guidance and not 
regulatory documents.
    Recovery plans should be consulted frequently, used to initiate 
recovery activities, and updated as needed. Keeping recovery plans 
current will ensure that the species benefits through timely, partner-
coordinated implementation, based on the best available information. A 
review of the recovery plan and its implementation, however, may show 
that the recovery plan is out of date or its usefulness is limited and, 
therefore, warrants modification. The need for, and extent of, recovery 
plan modifications will vary considerably among recovery plans, 
depending on the scope and complexity of the initial plan, the 
structure of the document, and the involvement of stakeholders.
    The need for revision may be triggered when, among other 
possibilities: (1) New information has been identified, such as 
population-level threats to the species or previously unknown life-
history traits, that necessitates new or revised recovery strategy, 
actions, or criteria, or revision of all three; (2) the current 
recovery plan is out of date with regard to the information presented 
in it or requirements for an adequate recovery plan (a recovery 
strategy, threats-based recovery criteria, etc.); or (3) the current 
plan is not achieving its objectives. An amendment, a type of recovery 
plan revision, is more limited in scope than a full revision of the 
recovery plan and modifies an existing plan, rather than replacing the 
entire existing recovery plan. Revisions benefit endangered and 
threatened species, our partners, and the public by incorporating new 
information about life history, threats, and/or species' response to 
management from study findings and focusing on what is really needed 
for species' recovery. Twenty-eight of the 29 proposed recovery plan 
revisions noticed in this announcement are modified with amendments 
that replace only a portion of those plans, while one recovery plan 
(Draft Revised Recovery Plan for Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle) is 
fully revised and completely replaces the existing plan.
    Recovery criteria serve as objective, measurable guidelines to 
assist in determining when an endangered species has recovered to the 
point that it may be downlisted to threatened, or that the protections 
afforded by the Act are no longer necessary and the species may be 
delisted. Delisting is the removal of a species from the Federal Lists 
of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants. Downlisting is the 
reclassification of a species from an endangered species to a 
threatened species. The term ``endangered species'' means any species 
(species, subspecies, or distinct population segment) that is in danger 
of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. The 
term ``threatened species'' means any species which is likely to become 
an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a 
significant portion of its range.
    Recovery criteria should help indicate when we would anticipate 
that an analysis of the species' status under section 4(a)(1) of the 
Act would result in a determination that the species is no longer an 
endangered species or a threatened species. A decision to revise the 
status of or remove a species from the Federal Lists of Endangered and 
Threatened Wildlife and Plants, however, is ultimately based on an 
analysis of the threats to the species in accordance with sections 
4(a)(1) and 4(b) of the Act and made ``solely on the basis of the best 
scientific and commercial data available,'' regardless of whether that 
information differs from the recovery plan. When changing the status of 
a species, we first propose the action in the Federal Register to seek 
public comment and peer review, followed by a final decision announced 
in the Federal Register.
    Revision of recovery plans requires public notice and comment under 
section 4(f)(4) of the Act, including: (1) A Federal Register notice of 
availability to give opportunity for public review and comment; (2) 
consideration of all information presented during the public comment 
period; and (3) approval by the Regional Director. When finalized, 
these recovery plan revisions will be made publicly available on the 
internet through our Environmental Conservation Online System (ECOS, 
https://ecos.fws.gov).
