BILLING CODE 4310–RG–P
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of review; request for
information.
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, initiate 5-year reviews
of the endangered Appalachian
monkeyface (Quadrula sparsa), the
northeast population of the roseate tern
(Sterna dougalii dougalli), and the shale
barren rock-cress (Arabis serotina), and
the threatened Cheat Mountain
salamander (Plethodon nettingi), the
Madison cave isopod (Antrolana lira),
the sensitive joint-vetch (Aeschynomene
virginica), and the Virginia sneezeweed
(Helenium virginicum), 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
make a finding on whether these species
are properly classified under the Act.
DATES: To allow us adequate time to
conduct these reviews, we are
requesting submission of new
information by February 17, 2009.
However, we will continue to accept
new information about any listed
species at any time.
ADDRESSES: For instructions on where to
submit information and review the
information that we receive on these
species, see ‘‘Public Solicitation of New
Information.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Why Do We Conduct a 5-Year Review?
Under the Act we maintain the List of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plant Species (List) at 50 CFR 17.11
and 17.12. We amend the List by
publishing final rules in the Federal
Register. Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act
requires that we conduct a review of
listed species at least once every 5 years.
Section 4(c)(2)(B) requires that we
determine: (1) Whether a species no
longer meets the definition of
threatened or endangered and should be
removed from the List (delisted); (2)
Whether a species more properly meets
the definition of threatened and should
be reclassified from endangered to
threatened; or (3) Whether a species
more properly meets the definition of
endangered and should be reclassified
from threatened to endangered. Using
the best scientific and commercial data
available, a species will be considered
for delisting if the data substantiate that
the species is neither endangered nor
threatened for one or more of the
following reasons: (1) The species is
considered extinct; (2) The species is
considered to be recovered; and/or (3)
The original data available when the
species was listed, or the interpretation
of such data, were in error. Any change
in Federal classification requires a
separate rulemaking process. Therefore,
we are requesting submission of any
such information that has become
available since either the original listing
or the most recent status review for
these species. Based on the results of
these 5-year reviews, we will make the
requisite findings under section
4(c)(2)(B) of the Act.
Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21
require that we publish a notice in the
Federal Register announcing those
species currently under review. This
notice announces initiation of our active
review of the species in Table 1.
