<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 194 / Tuesday, October 9, 2007 / Notices
We are currently reviewing the
comments received on the proposed
rule and preparing responses as
appropriate.
Section 4(g)(1) of the ESA requires
that we implement a system, in
cooperation with the States, to
effectively monitor, for not less than 5
years, the status of all species that have
been recovered and delisted.
Additionally, we are to make prompt
use of the emergency listing authority
under section 4(b)(7) of the ESA if the
recovered species is presented with
significant risk to its well being. In order
to meet the ESA’s monitoring
requirement, and to facilitate the
efficient collection of data, we have
designed a plan to detect changes in the
status of the WVNFS.
The WVNFS draft PDM Plan was
developed in cooperation with the State
resources agencies of West Virginia and
Virginia and Virginia and the U.S.
Forest Service. Our West Virginia Field
Office (WVFO) will have the lead
agency responsibility for this
monitoring effort, and will coordinate
all phases of implementation of the plan
and ensure that monitoring
requirements outlined within the plan
are accomplished. The draft PDM Plan
proposes to conduct monitoring
annually for at least 10 years. The
primary focus will be on WVNFS
habitat and implementation of plans or
agreements to protect and manage
habitat. Distribution and persistency
throughout its range will also be
monitored.
