Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 26 / Wednesday, February 9, 2005 / Notices encountered in the dark zones of caves and/or mesocaverns. Viable populations of these arthropods require a dependable source of nutrient input, typically in the form of roots from overlying perennial plants. The primary threats to these species include: Small populations and restricted range; urban and agricultural development as well as quarrying operations; non-native species preying upon or competing with them for limited food resources; human visitation and uses of caves; urban and commercial pesticide; biocontrol agents; and extended drought which alters the high-humidity environment to which these arthropods are adapted, which also facilitates invasion by nonnative species. Downlisting to threatened may be considered for both species when nine viable populations, spread across the known range, are shown to be: (1) Selfsustaining; (2) stable or increasing; (3) protected from non-native/predatory species, human visitation to caves, biocontrol agents, pesticides, development or other damaging land uses; and (4) with the habitat being utilized in a fashion consistent with conservation, as evidenced by monitoring over a 10-year period. Delisting of both species may be considered when 12 viable populations, spread across the known range, are shown to be: (1) Self-sustaining; (2) stable or increasing; (3) protected from non-native/predatory species, human visitation to caves, bio-control agents, pesticides, development or other damaging land uses; and (4) with the habitat being utilized in a fashion consistent with conservation, as evidenced by monitoring over a 20-year period. In addition, a post-delisting monitoring plan and agreement to continue post-delisting monitoring must be in place and ready for implementation at the time of delisting. Monitoring populations following delisting will verify the ongoing recovery and conservation of the species and provide a means of assessing the continuing effectiveness of management actions. Public Comments Solicited We solicit written comments on the draft recovery plan as described. All comments received by the date specified above will be considered prior to approval of this plan. Authority: The authority for this action is section 4(f) of the Endangered Species Act, 16 U.S.C. 1533(f). VerDate jul<14>2003 16:49 Feb 08, 2005 Jkt 205001 Dated: November 18, 2004. David J.
