An electronic copy of the draft recovery plan is also available PO 00000 Frm 00093 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 at https://endangered.fws.gov/recovery/ index.html#plans. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sam Friedman, Botanist, at the above Roseburg address. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Restoring endangered or threatened animals and plants to the point where they are again secure, self-sustaining members of their ecosystems is a primary goal of our endangered species program. The Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (ESA) requires the development of recovery plans for listed species unless such a plan would not promote the conservation of a particular species. Recovery plans help guide the recovery effort by describing actions considered necessary for the conservation of the species, establishing criteria for downlisting or delisting listed species, and estimating time and cost for implementing the measures needed for recovery. Section 4(f) of the ESA requires that public notice, and an opportunity for public review and comment, be provided during recovery plan development. We will consider all information presented during the public comment period prior to approval of each new or revised recovery plan. Substantive comments on the recovery needs of the species or other aspects of recovery plan development may result in changes to the recovery plan. Substantive comments regarding recovery plan implementation may not necessarily result in changes to the recovery plan, but will be forwarded to appropriate Federal or other entities so that they can take these comments into account during the course of implementing recovery actions. Individual responses to comments will not be provided. Two federally endangered plant species that are endemic to southern Oregon are the primary focus of this draft recovery plan: Limnanthes floccosa ssp. grandiflora (large-flowered woolly meadowfoam) and Lomatium cookii (Cook’s lomatium). Site-specific information and recovery actions are also provided for one federally threatened animal, the vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi). In addition, site-specific information and recommendations for long term conservation are provided for nine species of conservation concern. The species addressed in this draft recovery plan occur in vernal pool, swale, or seasonal wet meadow habitats within southern Oregon and are largely confined to limited areas by topographic E:\FR\FM\22SEN1.SGM 22SEN1
