and goals of the NWRS, and statutory
and regulatory guidance. We have
determined that Alternative B also
includes the suite of activities that best
achieves the stated purpose and need
for action and the seven goals presented
in the final CCP/EIS Chapter 1.
Compared to the other two alternatives,
Alternative B meets those needs and
goals through the most balanced and
integrated approach, considering both
the biological and human environment.
It will also provide the means to better
respond to changing ecological and
socioeconomic conditions within the
surrounding environment using an
adaptive management approach.
In summary, Alternative B was
selected for implementation because it
provides the greatest number of
opportunities for the refuge to make a
significant contribution to the
conservation of fish, wildlife, and
habitat needs in the region, as well as
make a positive contribution to the local
and regional communities.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants; Initiation of 5-Year Reviews
of 103 Species in Hawaii
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of review.
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year
reviews for 103 species in Hawaii 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: To ensure consideration in our
review, we are requesting submission of
new information no later than May 15,
2009. However, we will continue to
accept new information about any listed
species at any time.
ADDRESSES: For the species under
review, submit information or direct
questions to: Field Supervisor,
Attention: 5-Year Review, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, Pacific Islands Fish
and Wildlife Office, 300 Ala Moana
Blvd., Room 3–122, Box 50088,
Honolulu, HI 96850. Information or
questions can also be submitted by email to: pifwo-5yr-review@fws.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Marilet Zablan, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Pacific Islands Fish and
Wildlife Office (see ADDRESSES), 808–
792–9400. Individuals who are hearing
impaired or speech impaired may call
the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877–
8337 for TTY assistance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Why Do We Conduct 5-Year Reviews?
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
Phone No.
603–482–7720
603–752–5210
603–752–1113
603–466–2525
207–824–2520
(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 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
(50 CFR 424.11(d)). Any change in
Federal classification would require a
separate rulemaking process. The
regulations in 50 CFR 424.21 require
that we publish a notice in the Federal
Register announcing those species
currently under active review. This
notice announces our active review of
the 103 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 the best scientific and
commercial data that has become

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

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

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
103 species listed in Table 1 indicating
that a change in classification may be
warranted, we may propose a new rule
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 under 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,

Advertising Guidelines
AGENCY: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of adoption of final
guidelines.
SUMMARY: The Recreational Boating &
Fishing Foundation (RBFF) will sell
advertising on its https://
TakeMeFishing.org Web site to help
generate revenue from non-Federal
funds to expand its outreach program.
RBFF has adopted final advertising
guidelines to determine who can
advertise and how the advertising sales
will be operated.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
RBFF Project Officer
Mary_Burke@fws.gov (e-mail) or (703)
358–2435.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Recreational boating and fishing
participation rates have declined over
the past 5 years. Recreational boating
and fishing related activities contribute
to conserving aquatic resources through
excise taxes collected from sales of
fishing equipment and motorboat fuel
that fund the Federal Aid in Sport Fish
Restoration Program. This program,
coupled with fishing license sales,
makes up more than 80 percent of the
funding for conservation and protection
of aquatic resources in the United
States. To address the declining
participation of recreational boating and
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:38 Mar 13, 2009
Jkt 217001
fishing, Congress passed the
Sportfishing and Boating Safety Act of
1998, which called for Federal
appropriations to be used for the
National Outreach and Communication
Program. The Sport Fishing and Boating
Partnership Council developed the
‘‘Strategic Plan for the National
Outreach and Communication
Program,’’ and the Secretary of the
Interior approved the Strategic Plan in
February 1999.
RBFF is a nonprofit organization
created to carry out the National
Outreach and Communication Program,
whose mission is to increase
participation in recreational angling and
boating and, through those experiences,
increase the public’s awareness of and
appreciation for the need for conserving
and protecting America’s aquatic
natural resources. RBFF is funded
through the Sport Fish Restoration and
Boating Trust Fund. This fund is
composed of Federal taxes collected on
the sale of motorboat fuel and of excise
taxes paid by manufacturers of fishing
tackle. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) administers RBFF’s
funding via a cooperative agreement
between the Service and RBFF, in the
form of a Memorandum of
Understanding signed by the Service,
the Sport Fishing and Boating
Partnership Council, the Association of
Fish and Wildlife Agencies, and RBFF.
The Strategic Plan, which RBFF was
created to implement, specifically calls
for the implementing organization not to
be operated as a ‘‘grants-in-aid’’
organization. The Plan also calls for
RBFF to ‘‘create an industry ‘hard
dollar’ fund mechanism to promote,
extend and expand the outreach
program.’’ In response, RBFF will sell
advertising on its https://
TakeMeFishing.org Web site to generate
revenue from non-Federal funds to
expand its outreach program.
On October 20, 2008, the Service
published in the Federal Register (73
FR 62310) a notice of availability of
RBFF’s draft advertising guidelines and
requested public comments on those
draft guidelines. RBFF designed draft
guidelines to determine who can
advertise and how the advertising sales
will operate. The Service received three
comments during the comment period.
RBFF is adopting, without change, the
advertising guidelines that the Service
published in the Federal Register on
October 20, 2008 (73 FR 62310). Please
refer to that notice for the guidelines, or

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of 5-
Year Reviews of 103 Species in Hawaii
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of review.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year
reviews for 103 species in Hawaii 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: To ensure consideration in our review, we are requesting
submission of new information no later than May 15, 2009. However, we
will continue to accept new information about any listed species at any
time.
ADDRESSES: For the species under review, submit information or direct
questions to: Field Supervisor, Attention: 5-Year Review, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office, 300 Ala
Moana Blvd., Room 3-122, Box 50088, Honolulu, HI 96850. Information or
questions can also be submitted by e-mail to: pifwo-5yr-review@fws.gov.

call the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8337 for TTY assistance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Why Do We Conduct 5-Year Reviews?
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 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 (50 CFR 424.11(d)). Any
change in Federal classification would require a separate rulemaking
process. The regulations in 50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish a
notice in the Federal Register announcing those species currently under
active review. This notice announces our active review of the 103
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 the best scientific and
commercial 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 103 species listed in Table 1
indicating that a change in classification may be warranted, we may
propose a new rule 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
under 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.
If you wish to provide information for any species included in
these 5-year reviews, submit your comments and materials to the Field
Supervisor of the Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office (see
ADDRESSES section). Our practice is to make comments, including names
and home addresses of respondents, available for public review. 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.
You may submit information on the species in this notice by U.S.
mail, e-mail, or hand-delivery, to the address in the ADDRESSES section
above. You may also view information we receive in response to this
notice, as well as other public documentations in our files, at the
Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office (See ADDRESSES section above)
during normal business hours.
