review of listed species at least once
every five years. 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. Delisting a
species must be supported by the best
scientific and commercial data available
and only considered if such data
substantiates 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. 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 notice
announces our active review of
Johnson’s seagrass, currently listed as
threatened.
Public Solicitation of New Information
To ensure that the 5–year review is
complete and based on the best
available scientific and commercial
information, we are soliciting new
information from the public, concerned
governmental agencies, Tribes, the
scientific community, industry,
environmental entities, and any other
interested parties concerning the status
of Johnson’s seagrass.
The 5–year review considers the best
scientific and commercial data and all
new information that has become
available since the listing determination
or most recent status review. Categories
of requested information include (1)
species biology including, but not
limited to, population trends,
distribution, abundance, demographics,
and genetics; (2) habitat conditions
including, but not limited to, amount,
distribution, and suitability; (3)
conservation measures that have been
implemented that benefit the species;
(4) status and trends of threats; and (5)
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.
If you wish to provide information for
this 5–year review, you may submit
your information and materials to
Shelley Norton (see ADDRESSES). Our
practice is to make submissions of
information, including names and home
addresses of respondents, available for

public review during regular business
hours. Respondents may request that we
withhold a respondent’s identity, as
allowable by law. If you wish us to
withhold your name or address, you
must state this request prominently at
the beginning of your submission. We
will not, however, consider anonymous
submissions. To the extent consistent
with applicable law, we will make all
submissions from organizations or
businesses, and from individuals
identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, available
for public inspection in their entirety.
Information and materials received will
be available for public inspection, by
appointment, during normal business
hours (see ADDRESSES section).
