Uhiuhi ........................................ Silene spaldingii ........................ Caesalpinia kavaiense .............. Threatened .. Endangered U.S.A. (ID, MT, OR, WA) ......... U.S.A. (HI) ................................ 66 FR 51597; 10/10/2001 51 FR 24672; 07/08/1996 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.
