SUMMARY: A 5-year review is a periodic process conducted to ensure that the

classification of a listed species is appropriate. A 5-year review is
based on the best scientific and commercial data available at the time
of the review. Based on the results of these 5-year reviews, we will
make a finding of whether these species are properly classified under
section 4(c)(2)(B) of the Act.

...Requested information includes (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; and (E) other
new information, data, or corrections, including but not limited to,
taxonomic or nomenclature changes, identification of erroneous
information contained in the List, and improved analytical methods.

DATES: To allow us adequate time to conduct these 5-year reviews, we
must receive your information no later than September 19, 2005. If you
do not respond to this request for information, but subsequently
possess information on the status of any of these species, we are eager
to receive new information regarding federally listed species at any time.
