Individuals who are hearing impaired
or speech impaired may call the Federal
Relay Service at (800) 877–8337 for TTY
assistance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We
announce a 5-year review of Curtis’
pearlymussel and Indiana bat under
section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.). We request any new information
and appropriate data since their original
listing or most recent status review
which documents the need to delist or
reclassify these species.
A 5-year review is a periodic process
conducted to ensure that the
classification of a listed species is
appropriate. It 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.
Under the Act, the Service maintains
the list of endangered and threatened
wildlife and plant species (List) at 50
CFR 17.11 and 17.12. Amendments to
the List through final rules are
published in the Federal Register. The
List of wildlife and plants is available
on our Internet site at https://
www.fws.gov/endangered/wildlife/
html#species. Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the
Act requires that we conduct a review
of listed species at least once every 5
years. Section 4(c)(2)(B) requires that we
determine (1) Whether a species no
longer meets the definition of
threatened or endangered and should be
removed from the List (delisted); (2)
whether a species more properly meets
the definition of threatened and should
be reclassified from endangered to
threatened; or (3) whether a species
more properly meets the definition of
endangered and should be reclassified
from threatened to endangered. Using
the best scientific and commercial data
available, a species will be considered
for delisting if the 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
55213
in Federal classification requires a
separate rulemaking process.
Definitions
The following definitions (according
to the Act) are provided to assist those
persons who contemplate submitting
new information regarding the status of
the species identified in the table below:
‘‘Species’’ includes any species or
subspecies of fish or wildlife or plant,
and any distinct population segment of
any species or subspecies of a
vertebrate, that is capable of
interbreeding when mature.
‘‘Endangered species’’ means any
species that is in danger of extinction
throughout all or a significant portion of
its range.
‘‘Threatened species’’ means any
species that is likely to become an
endangered species within the
foreseeable future throughout all or a
significant portion of its range.
The regulations in 50 CFR 424.21
require that we publish a notice in the
Federal Register announcing those
species currently under active review.
This announces our active review of
Curtis’ pearlymussel and Indiana bat.

The
Refuges are comprised of several islands
located in the lower Columbia River, in
Wahkiakum County, Washington, and
Clatsop and Columbia Counties, Oregon.
The Julia Butler Hansen Refuge was
established in 1971 to protect and
manage habitat for the endangered
Columbian white-tailed deer. The
Refuge encompasses more than 6,000
acres of fields, forested tidal swamps,
brushy woodlots, marshes, sloughs, and
islands along the lower Columbia River,
and supports approximately 300
Columbian white-tailed deer. The Lewis
and Clark Refuge was established in
1972. The approved Refuge boundary
includes 33,500 acres of islands, bars,
mud flats, and tidal marshes. The
Refuge contains the largest marsh in
western Oregon, which provides habitat
for wintering and migratory waterfowl,
rearing and migratory salmon, and bald
eagles.
We furnish this notice in accordance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) as amended, and its
implementing regulations; the National
Wildlife Refuge System Administration
Act as amended by the National
Wildlife Refuge System Improvement
Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C. 668dd–668ee)
(Act); and Service policies.
The Act requires all lands within the
National Wildlife Refuge System to be
managed in accordance with an
approved CCP. A CCP is a 15-year plan
for managing a refuge. Refuge goals and
objectives are identified in a CCP, as
well as strategies for achieving the
purposes for which a refuge was
established. During the CCP planning
process, we will consider many
elements, including wildlife and habitat
management and public use
opportunities. Public input during the
planning process is essential. The CCP
for the Julia Butler Hansen and Lewis
and Clark Refuges will describe desired
conditions for the Refuges, along with
how we will implement management
strategies over a 15-year time period to
achieve those conditions. We will
prepare an EIS in accordance with
NEPA and its implementing regulations.
Until the CCP is completed, the Refuges’
management will continue to be guided
by their official purposes; Federal
legislation regarding management of
National Wildlife Refuges; and other
legal, regulatory, and policy guidance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Preliminary Issues, Concerns, and
Opportunities
We have identified the following
preliminary issues, concerns, and
opportunities for the Julia Butler
Hansen Refuge, and may address these
issues in the CCP. We may identify

additional issues during the public
comment period. We will consider
public comments during development
of the goals, management strategies, and
alternatives for the draft CCP/EIS.
Wildlife and Habitat Management:
What actions should we take to sustain
and restore priority species and
habitats? Coyotes prey upon Columbian
white-tailed deer fawns. Are the
methods for coyote removal appropriate
to maintain recovery of this endangered
deer? How will the Refuge enhance
native fish populations? How will the
Refuge respond to concerns about West
Nile virus and avian influenza virus?
Wilderness Study: Should specific
areas of the Refuge, if appropriate and
eligible, be designated as wilderness?
Management of Public Access and
Use (including Commercial Guiding):
What types of recreational opportunities
should be provided? Are existing public
use opportunities adequate and
appropriate?
Education and Outreach: Should
existing programs be expanded, to better
engage and educate the public about
Refuge wildlife and habitat management
activities?
We have identified the following
preliminary issues, concerns, and
opportunities for the Lewis and Clark
Refuge, and may address these issues in
the CCP. We may identify additional
issues during the public comment
period. We will consider public
comments during development of the
goals, management strategies, and
alternatives for the draft CCP/EIS.
Dredged materials management: What
actions should be taken to improve and
maximize wildlife benefits in dredgespoil areas of the Refuge?
Colonial Nesting Bird Management:
How should the Refuge manage and
increase colonial nesting bird
populations while limiting their impacts
on anadromous fish?
Oregon Department of State Lands
Management Agreement: Should the
Refuge consider developing an
agreement with the State to modify
management of State lands within the
Refuge boundary?
Commercial Guiding: Is commercial
guiding for recreational activities
compatible with the purposes of the
Refuge?
Camping on Refuge Lands: Is camping
appropriate and compatible with the
Refuge’s purposes and is there demand
for this activity?
Wilderness Study: Should specific
areas of the Refuge, if appropriate and
eligible, be designated as Wilderness?
We will evaluate a range of
alternatives, and their potential effects
on the environment and local
