Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of 5-
Year Status Reviews for 129 Species in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, 
Hawaii, Montana, California, and Nevada

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 for 129 species in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Hawaii, 
Montana, California, and Nevada under the Endangered Species Act of 
1973. 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 May 11, 2020. 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 http://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 the 129 species listed
