Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 16, 2008 / Notices
Species includes any species or
subspecies of fish, wildlife, or plant,
and any distinct population segment of
any species of vertebrate, which
interbreeds when mature;
Endangered species means any
species that is in danger of extinction
throughout all or a significant portion of
its range; and
Threatened species means any species
that is likely to become an endangered
species within the foreseeable future
throughout all or a significant portion of
its range.
How Do We Determine Whether a
Species Is Endangered or Threatened?
Section 4(a)(1) of the Act establishes
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.
Section 4(a)(1) of the Act requires that
our determination be made on the basis
of the best scientific and commercial
data available.
What Could Happen as a Result of Our
Review?
For each species under review, if we
find new information that indicates a
change in classification may be
warranted, we may propose a new rule
that could do one of the following: (a)
Reclassify the species from threatened
to endangered (uplist); (b) Reclassify the
species from endangered to threatened
(downlist); or (c) Remove the species
from the List (delist). If we determine
that a change in classification is not
warranted, then the species will remain
on the List under its current status.
