Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 5-Year Status Reviews of 33 Southeastern Species, 16366-16368 [2014-06502]

Download as PDF emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES 16366 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 57 / Tuesday, March 25, 2014 / Notices Response: The PREP Guidelines are not intended to prescribe specific exercise design processes. Exercise development and conduct should be defined by the specific exercise planning team and not by the PREP Guidelines. Therefore, these suggestions are outside the scope of this Notice. However, due to the universal nature of HSEEP, the NSCC acknowledges this design process option in the PREP Guidelines. Comments pertaining to PREP Guidelines Formatting: One commenter provided a few recommendations to improve the functionality of the Guidelines. Specifically, the commenter found formatting errors and suggested different approaches to the example exercise evaluation forms in Appendix A. Response: When considering the commenter’s format suggestions, the NSCC came to realize that there are two versions of the PREP Guidelines. The General Printing Office’s (GPO) hard copy version (GPO 2002–493–463) does not have the same errors identified in the online version. We will ensure these errors do not appear in the updated hard copy or online version. We also made formatting changes throughout the document for consistency. Based on the commenter’s recommendation, we would also add an acronym list and remove unnecessary asterisks. Finally, we note that the draft PREP Guidelines update would replace Appendix A in its entirety. Comments on Exercise Frequency: One commenter asked for clarification on the number of Government-Initiated Unannounced Exercises (GIUE) that must be conducted annually. Response: The regulations that govern the number and frequency of GIUEs for marine transportation-related (MTR) facilities and vessels are located in 33 CFR Parts 154 and 155. Each agency determines how many GIUEs are initiated per year within the prescribed limits. Comments on SMFF: More than a dozen comments were received relating to SMFF exercise requirements. Most of these comments stated that the SMFF exercise requirements should be added to the draft Guidelines. Some of the SMFF-related comments recommended that requirements for plan holders and SMFF providers should be kept separate from other PREP oil spill exercise requirements. Several commenters recommended that the roles and responsibilities for both plan holder (including vessel owner, operator, and crew) and SMFF providers should be clearly defined in the PREP Guidelines. VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:16 Mar 24, 2014 Jkt 232001 Response: SMFF exercise requirements for vessel response plans were implemented by regulation, 33 CFR 155.4052, February 2011. Some of these requirements, including remote assessment and consultation exercises, are unique to SMFF. As a result of this new regulation, SMFF requirements for both announced and unannounced exercises were added to the draft Guidelines. Although some SMFF exercises can be conducted independently, plan holders are encouraged to incorporate SMFF into their oil spill response scenarios. The Draft Guidelines describe SMFF exercise requirements, including incorporation of SMFF components into oil spill exercises. Furthermore, the roles and responsibilities for plan holders and SMFF providers have been clearly defined for each SMFF exercise type. Comments on WCD Definition: Several commenters suggested changing the definition and exercise requirements for the responses to WCD scenarios. Response: The definitions for vessel and MTR facility WCD were updated to reflect the language found in 33 CFR Parts 154 and 155. However, exercise requirements for vessel and facility plan holder responses to their WCD, as defined in the regulations, will remain unchanged as part of the update to the PREP Guidelines. Comments on Federal Oversight: There were numerous comments suggesting specific recommendations for Federal regulatory agencies to improve exercise program oversight. The commenters included specific documentation and details that Federal agencies should look for when conducting inspections. Response: These recommendations are outside the scope of the PREP Guidelines. Each regulatory agency is responsible for establishing procedures for enforcing the regulations where they have jurisdiction and authority. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 The PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Until OMB approves a collection of information, you are not obligated to respond. While this notice does not have information collection (IC), the PREP document, which we are requesting comments on, may be considered IC. The OMB approved all the ICs and each agency’s respective OMB control number is listed on page iii of the PREP document.

The List is also available on our internet site at https://www.fws.gov/ endangered/species/us-species.html. Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act requires that we conduct a review of each listed species at least once every 5 years. Then, on the basis of such reviews, under section 4(c)(2)(B), we determine whether or not any species should be removed from the List (delisted), or reclassified from endangered to threatened or from threatened to endangered. We must support the action by the best scientific and commercial data available. In determining whether to delist a species, we must consider if these data substantiate that the species is neither endangered nor threatened for one or more of the following reasons: (1) The species is considered extinct; (2) the species is considered to be recovered; and/or (3) the original data available when the species was listed, or the interpretation of such data, were in error. Any change in Federal classification would require a separate rulemaking process. We make amendments to the List through final rules published in the Federal Register. Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing those species currently under our active review.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 5-Year Status 
Reviews of 33 Southeastern Species

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of initiation of reviews; request for information.

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

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are 
initiating 5-year status reviews of 33 species under the Endangered 
Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We conduct these reviews to 
ensure that the classification of species as threatened or endangered 
on the Lists 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. We are requesting 
submission of information that has become available since the last 
review of each of these species.

DATES: To allow us adequate time to conduct these reviews, we must 
receive

[[Page 16367]]

your comments or information on or before May 27, 2014. 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 
information we receive on these species, see ``Request for New 
Information.''

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For species-specific information, see 
``Request for New Information.''

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we 
maintain lists of endangered and threatened wildlife and plant species 
in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.11 (for wildlife) 
and 17.12 (for plants) (collectively referred to as the List). The List 
is also available on our internet site at https://www.fws.gov/endangered/species/us-species.html. Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act 
requires that we conduct a review of each listed species at least once 
every 5 years. Then, on the basis of such reviews, under section 
4(c)(2)(B), we determine whether or not any species should be removed 
from the List (delisted), or reclassified from endangered to threatened 
or from threatened to endangered. We must support the action by the 
best scientific and commercial data available. In determining whether 
to delist a species, we must consider if these data substantiate that 
the species is neither endangered nor threatened for one or more of the 
following reasons: (1) The species is considered extinct; (2) the 
species is considered to be recovered; and/or (3) the original data 
available when the species was listed, or the interpretation of such 
data, were in error. Any change in Federal classification would require 
a separate rulemaking process. We make amendments to the List through 
final rules published in the Federal Register.
    Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish a notice 
in the Federal Register announcing those species currently under our 
active review.

Bonamia grandiflora (Florida bonamia)
Eriogonum longifolium var. gnapholifolium (scrub buckwheat)
Euphorbia telephioides (telephus spurge)
Ribes echinelluum (Miccosukee gooseberry)

What information do we consider in a 5-year review?

    A 5-year review considers the best scientific and commercial data 
that have become available since the current listing determination or 
most recent status review of each species, 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 to benefit the 
species;
    D. Threat status and trends (see five factors under heading ``How 
do we determine whether a species is endangered or threatened?''); 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.
    New information will be considered in the 5-year review and ongoing 
recovery programs for the species.

Definitions

    A. Species includes any species or subspecies of fish, wildlife, or 
plant, and any distinct population segment of any species of vertebrate 
which interbreeds when mature.
    B. Endangered means any species that is in danger of extinction 
throughout all or a significant portion of its range.
    C. Threatened means any species that is likely to become an 
endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a 
significant portion of its range.

How do we determine whether a species is endangered or threatened?

    Section 4(a)(1) of the Act establishes that we determine whether a 
species is endangered or threatened based on one or more of the 
following five factors:
    A. The present or threatened destruction, modification, or 
curtailment of its habitat or range;
    B. Overutilization for commercial, recreational, scientific, or 
educational purposes;
    C. Disease or predation;
    D. The inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; or
    E. Other natural or manmade factors affecting its continued 
existence.

What could happen as a result of this review?

    If we find that there is new information concerning any of these 33 
species indicating that a change in classification may be warranted, we 
may propose a new rule that could do one of the following: (a) 
Reclassify the species from endangered to threatened (downlist); (b) 
reclassify the species from threatened to endangered (uplist); or (c) 
delist the species. If we determine that a change in classification is 
not warranted, then the species will remain on the List under its 
current status.

Request for New Information

    To do any of the following, contact the person associated with the 
species you are interested in below:
    A. To get more information on a species;
    B. To submit information on a species; or
    C. To review information we receive, which will be available for 
public inspection by appointment, during normal business hours, at the 
listed addresses.
