Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of 5-
Year Reviews of Seven Wildlife Species and Two Plant Species in the
Mountain-Prairie Region

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of review; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), initiate 5-
year reviews of seven wildlife species--Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis),
grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) (as listed in the lower 48-
States excluding the Greater Yellowstone Area population; see table 1),
bonytail chub (=bonytail) (Gila elegans), humpback chub (Gila cypha),
Colorado pikeminnow (=squawfish) (Ptychocheilus lucius), razorback
sucker (Xyrauchen texanus), and Uncompahgre fritillary butterfly
(Boloria acrocnema); and two plant species--Howellia aquatilis (water
howellia) and Astragalus desereticus (Deseret milk-vetch)--in the
Mountain-Prairie Region under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act). We conduct 5-year reviews to ensure that our
classification of each species as threatened or endangered on the List
of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants is accurate. A 5-year
review is an assessment of the best scientific and commercial data
available at the time of the review.

DATES: To allow us adequate time to conduct our review, we must receive
your information no later than June 18, 2007. 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

of New Information.''
