Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants; Final Conservation
Strategy for the Grizzly Bear in the
Greater Yellowstone Area
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We, the Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service), announce the
availability of the Final Conservation
Strategy for the Grizzly Bear in the
Greater Yellowstone Area (Final
Conservation Strategy). This document
will guide management decisions for the
Yellowstone grizzly bear population
upon delisting.
ADDRESSES: You may obtain a copy of
the Final Conservation Strategy by any
of the following means:
1. World Wide Web: https://mountainprairie.fws.gov/species/mammals/
grizzly/yellowstone.htm.
2. U.S. mail or in-person pickup: By
appointment, during normal business
hours at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
University Hall, Room 309, University
of Montana, Missoula, MT 59812. Call
(406) 243–4903 to make arrangements.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.
Christopher Servheen, Grizzly Bear
Recovery Coordinator (see ADDRESSES
above), (406) 243–4903.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Restoring an endangered or
threatened animal or plant to the point
where it is no longer in need of the
protections under the Endangered
Species Act is a primary goal of our
endangered species program. Recovery
plans help guide the recovery effort by
describing actions considered necessary
for the conservation of the species,
establishing criteria for downlisting and
delisting listed species, and estimating
time and cost for implementing the
measures needed for recovery measures.
Under the provisions of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act)
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq., we approved the
first Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan on
January 29, 1982 (U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service 1982). In 1993, we approved a
revision to the Grizzly Bear Recovery
Plan (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
1993), which included additional tasks
and new information that increased the
focus and effectiveness of recovery
efforts. Since the 1993 revision, we have
approved three additional supplements
to the Recovery Plan (U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service 1997, 1998, 2007).

The Recovery Plan stated that a
conservation strategy should be
developed for each ecosystem before
delisting. The purpose of the Final
Conservation Strategy (U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service 2007) is to serve as the
regulatory mechanism guiding our
management as we delist and establish
the monitoring approach that will be
taken for the Yellowstone grizzly bear
population. The Final Conservation
Strategy satisfies the requirements for
post-delisting monitoring required by
section 4(g) of the Act for species
delisted due to recovery.
Considering all of the comments
received, we finalized the Final
Conservation Strategy for the Grizzly
Bear in the Greater Yellowstone Area.
