<tt><font face="Courier New">SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
announce the </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">initiation of a 5-year review of 56 species under
section 4(c)(2)(B) of </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">the Endangered Species Act (Act). The purpose of a
5-year review is to </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">ensure that the classification of a species as
threatened or endangered </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">on the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants is </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">accurate and based on the best scientific and
commercial data available </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">at the time of the review. We are requesting
submission of any such </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">information that has become available since the
original listing of </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">each of these 56 species. Based on the results of
these 5-year reviews, </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">we will make the requisite findings under section
4(c)(2)(A) of the Act.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">DATES: We must receive your information no later
than May 22, 2006. </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">However, we will continue to accept new
information about any listed </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">species at any time.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">ADDRESSES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for
instructions on how to </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">submit information and review the information that
we receive on these </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">species.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
species-specific information, </font></tt><br>

<tt><font face="Courier New">SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Background</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Why Is a 5-Year Review Conducted?</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New"> Under the Endangered Species Act
(Act) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">maintain a List of Endangered and Threatened
Wildlife and Plants at 50 </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12 (for plants).
Section 4(c)(2)(A) of </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">the Act requires that we conduct a review of
listed species at least </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">once every 5 years. Then, on the basis of such
reviews under section </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">4(c)(2)(B), we determine whether or not any
species should be removed </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">from the List (delisted), or reclassified from
endangered to threatened </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">or from threatened to endangered. Delisting a
species must be supported </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">by the best scientific and commercial data
available and only </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">considered if such data substantiates that the
species is neither </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">endangered nor threatened for one or more of the
following reasons: (1) </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">The species is considered extinct; (2) the species
is considered to be </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">recovered; and/or (3) the original data available
when the species was </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">listed, or the interpretation of such data, were
in error. Any change </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">in Federal classification would require a separate
rulemaking process. </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">The regulations in 50 CFR 424.21 require that we
publish a notice in </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">the Federal Register announcing those species
currently under active </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">review. This notice announces our active review of
the 56 species </font></tt><br>

<tt><font face="Courier New">What Information Is Considered in the Review?</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New"> A 5-year review considers all new
information available at the time </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">of the review. In conducting these reviews, we
consider the best </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">scientific and commercial data that has become
available since the </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">current listing determination or most recent
status review, such as:</font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New"> A. Species biology including, but not
limited to, population </font></tt><br>

genetics;</font></tt><br>

in the List, and </font></tt><br>

<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">How Do We Determine Whether a Species Is
Endangered or Threatened?</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New"> Section 4(a)(1) of the Act requires
that we determine whether a </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">species is endangered or threatened based on one
or more of the five </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">following factors:</font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New"> A. The present or threatened
destruction, modification, or </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">curtailment of its habitat or range;</font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New"> B. Overutilization for commercial,
recreational, scientific, or </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">educational purposes;</font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New"> C. Disease or predation;</font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New"> D. The inadequacy of existing
regulatory mechanisms; or</font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New"> E. Other natural or manmade factors
affecting its continued existence.</font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Our assessment of these factors is required, under
section 4(b)(1) of </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">the Act, to be based solely on the best scientific
and commercial data </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">available.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">What Could Happen as a Result of This Review?</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New"> If we find information concerning the
56 species listed in Table 1 </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">indicating that a change in classification may be
warranted, we may </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">propose a new rule that could do one of the
following: (a) Reclassify </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">the species from threatened to endangered; (b)
reclassify the species </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">from endangered to threatened; or (c) remove the
species from the List. </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">If we find that a change in classification is not
warranted, the </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">species will remain on the List under its current
status.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Public Solicitation of New Information</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New"> To ensure that these 5-year reviews
are complete and based on the </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">best available scientific and commercial
information, we solicit new </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">information from the public, concerned
governmental agencies, Tribes, </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">the scientific community, environmental entities,
industry, and any </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">other interested parties concerning the status of
the species.</font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New"> If you wish to provide information
for any species included in </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">these 5-year reviews, submit your comments and
materials to the Field </font></tt><br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Supervisors at the appropriate Fish and Wildlife
