psoriasis as claimed in the Licensed
Patent Rights.
DATES:
ADDRESSES:
The
technology describes inhibitors
Smoothened protein (SMO), a receptor
involved in the Hedgehog/Patched (HH/
PTCH) pathway. HH/PTCH is a common
pathway involved in proliferative
disorders including cancer and
psoriasis.
The technology is directed towards
several synthetic peptides (including
all-D analogs) corresponding to specific
region of the SMO protein. Experiments
in vitro demonstrate that they
potentially suppress the growth of
cancer cells and inhibit the expression
of the HH/PTCH pathway genes. Due to
their high hydrophobic properties, these
peptide inhibitors can be easily
formulated for specific intratumor
delivery or topical creams for skin
disorders.
The prospective exclusive license will
be royalty bearing and will comply with
the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C.
209 and 37 CFR Part 404.7. The
prospective exclusive license may be
granted unless within sixty (60) days
from the date of this published notice,
the NIH receives written evidence and
argument that establishes that the grant
of the license would not be consistent
with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209
and 37 CFR 404.7.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants: Initiation of 5-Year Status
Reviews for 70 Species in Idaho,
Montana, Oregon, Washington, and the
Pacific Islands
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of review.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, initiate 5-year status
reviews for 70 species in Idaho,
Montana, Oregon, Washington, and the
Pacific Islands under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).
We request any new information on
these species that may have a bearing on
their classification as endangered or
threatened. Based on the results of these
5-year reviews, we will determine
whether these species are properly
classified under the Act.
DATES: We must receive your
information no later than June 30, 2008.
However, we will continue to accept
new information about any listed
species at any time.
Under the Endangered Species Act
(Act) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we
maintain a List of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife and Plants (List) at
50 CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12
(for plants). Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act
requires that we conduct a review of
listed species at least once every 5 years.
Then, 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. These actions must be
supported by the best scientific and
commercial data available. Delisting a
species is considered only if such data
substantiates that the species is neither
endangered nor threatened for one or
more of the following reasons: (1) The
species is extinct; (2) the species is
recovered; and/or (3) the original data
available when the species was listed, or
the interpretation of such data, were in
error (50 CFR 424.11(d)). Any change in
Federal classification would require a
separate rulemaking process (i.e., a
proposed rule, public comment period,
and final rule). Regulations at 50 CFR
424.21 require that we publish a notice
in the Federal Register announcing
those species under active review. This
notice announces our active review of
the 70 species listed in Table 1.

What Information Do We Consider in
the Review?
A 5-year review considers all new
information available at the time of the
review. In conducting these reviews, we
consider data that has become available
since the listing determination or most
recent status review, such as:
• Species biology including, but not
limited to, population trends,
distribution, abundance, demographics,
and genetics;
• Habitat conditions including, but
not limited to, amount, distribution, and
suitability;
• Conservation measures that have
been implemented that benefit the
species;
• Threat status and trends (see five
factors under heading ‘‘How Do We
Determine Whether a Species is
Endangered or Threatened?’’); and
• 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.
How Do We Determine Whether a
Species Is Endangered or Threatened?
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Section 4(a)(1) of the Act requires that
we determine whether a species is
endangered or threatened based on one
or more of the five following factors:
A. The present or threatened
destruction, modification, or
curtailment of its habitat or range;
B. Overutilization for commercial,
recreational, scientific, or educational
purposes;
C. Disease or predation;
D. The inadequacy of existing
regulatory mechanisms; or
E. Other natural or manmade factors
affecting its continued existence.
Our assessment of these factors is
required, under section 4(b)(1) of the
Act, to be based solely on the best
scientific and commercial data
available.
What Could Happen As a Result of This
Review?
If we find information concerning the
70 species listed in Table 1 indicating
that a change in classification is
warranted, we may propose to: (a)
Reclassify the species from threatened
VerDate Aug<31>2005
21:01 Apr 28, 2008
Jkt 214001
to endangered; (b) reclassify the species
from endangered to threatened; or (c)
remove the species from the List. If we
find that a change in classification is not
warranted, the species will remain on
the List and retain its current status.
Public Solicitation of New Information
To ensure that these 5-year reviews
are complete and based on the best
available scientific and commercial
information, we solicit new information
from the public, governmental agencies,
Tribes, the scientific community,
environmental entities, industry, and
any other interested parties concerning
the status of the species in Table 1.
If you wish to provide information,
submit your comments and materials to
the Field Supervisors at the appropriate
Fish and Wildlife Office listed below.
Before including your address, phone
number, e-mail address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
For the species under review, submit
information and direct species-specific
questions to the addresses and
individuals as follows:

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants: Initiation of 5-
Year Status Reviews for 70 Species in Idaho, Montana, Oregon,
Washington, and the Pacific Islands
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of review.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, initiate 5-year status
reviews for 70 species in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and the
Pacific Islands under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended
(Act). We request any new information on these species that may have a
bearing on their classification as endangered or threatened. Based on
the results of these 5-year reviews, we will determine whether these
species are properly classified under the Act.
DATES: We must receive your information no later than June 30, 2008.
However, we will continue to accept new information about any listed
species at any time.
ADDRESSES: See ``Public Solicitation of New Information'' section for
instructions on how to submit information.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For species-specific information,
contact the appropriate individual named in the ``Public Solicitation
of New Information'' section, below. Individuals who are hearing
impaired or speech impaired may call the Federal Relay Service at (800)
877-8337 for TTY assistance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Why Are 5-Year Reviews Conducted?
Under the Endangered Species Act (Act) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we
maintain a List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (List)
at 50 CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12 (for plants). Section
4(c)(2)(A) of the Act requires that we conduct a review of listed
species at least once every 5 years. Then, 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. These
actions must be supported by the best scientific and commercial data
available. Delisting a species is considered only if such data
substantiates that the species is neither endangered nor threatened for
one or more of the following reasons: (1) The species is extinct; (2)
the species is recovered; and/or (3) the original data available when
the species was listed, or the interpretation of such data, were in
error (50 CFR 424.11(d)). Any change in Federal classification would
require a separate rulemaking process (i.e., a proposed rule, public
comment period, and final rule). Regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 require
that we publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing those
species under active review. This notice announces our active review of
the 70 species listed in Table 1.

What Information Do We Consider in the Review?
A 5-year review considers all new information available at the time
of the review. In conducting these reviews, we consider data that has
become available since the listing determination or most recent status
review, such as:
Species biology including, but not limited to, population
trends, distribution, abundance, demographics, and genetics;
Habitat conditions including, but not limited to, amount,
distribution, and suitability;
Conservation measures that have been implemented that
benefit the species;
Threat status and trends (see five factors under heading
``How Do We Determine Whether a Species is Endangered or
Threatened?''); and
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.
How Do We Determine Whether a Species Is Endangered or Threatened?
Section 4(a)(1) of the Act requires that we determine whether a
species is endangered or threatened based on one or more of the five
following factors:
A. The present or threatened destruction, modification, or
curtailment of its habitat or range;
B. Overutilization for commercial, recreational, scientific, or
educational purposes;
C. Disease or predation;
D. The inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; or
E. Other natural or manmade factors affecting its continued
existence.
Our assessment of these factors is required, under section 4(b)(1)
of the Act, to be based solely on the best scientific and commercial
data available.
What Could Happen As a Result of This Review?
If we find information concerning the 70 species listed in Table 1
indicating that a change in classification is warranted, we may propose
to: (a) Reclassify the species from threatened to endangered; (b)
reclassify the species from endangered to threatened; or (c) remove the
species from the List. If we find that a change in classification is
not warranted, the species will remain on the List and retain its
current status.
Public Solicitation of New Information
To ensure that these 5-year reviews are complete and based on the
best available scientific and commercial information, we solicit new
information from the public, governmental agencies, Tribes, the
scientific community, environmental entities, industry, and any other
interested parties concerning the status of the species in Table 1.
If you wish to provide information, submit your comments and
materials to the Field Supervisors at the appropriate Fish and Wildlife
Office listed below. Before including your address, phone number, e-
mail address, or other personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including your
personal identifying information--may be made publicly available at any
time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so.
