This species, found only on the island of Hawai1i, was Federally listed as endangered in 1967. ADDRESSES: Copies of the recovery plan are available by request from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office, 300 Ala Moana Boulevard, Room 3–122, Box 50088, Honolulu, HI 96850 (phone: (808) 792–9400). An electronic copy of the recovery plan is also available at https://endangered.fws.gov/recovery/ index.html#plans. Printed copies of the recovery plan will be available for distribution 4 to 6 weeks after the publication date of this notice. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff Burgett, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, at the above Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office address and phone. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Recovery of endangered or threatened animals and plants is a primary goal of the Endangered Species Act (Act) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and our endangered species program. Recovery means improvement of the status of listed species to the point at which listing is no longer required under the criteria in section 4(a)(1) of the Act. The Act requires the development of recovery plans for endangered or threatened species unless such a plan would not promote the conservation of the species. Recovery plans help guide the recovery effort by describing actions considered necessary for the conservation of the species, and estimating time and cost for implementing the measures needed for recovery. We originally completed a recovery plan for the 1Alala in 1982, but the recommendations contained in that plan are outdated given the species’ current status. Section 4(f) of the Act requires that we provide public notice and an PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 17877 opportunity for public review and comment during recovery plan development. In fulfillment of this requirement, we made the draft revised recovery plan for the 1Alala (Corvus hawaiiensis) available for public comment from December 18, 2003 through February 20, 2004 (December 18, 2003, 68 FR 70527; December 22, 2003, 68 FR 71128). As we prepared this final revised recovery plan, we considered information provided during the public comment period. We also summarized this information in an appendix to the plan. The 1Alala or Hawaiian crow has been federally listed as endangered since 1967 (35 FR 16047) and is also listed as endangered by the State of Hawai1i. The 1Alala is endemic to the island of Hawai1i. 1Alala were last observed in the wild in 2002, and we now believe the species to be extirpated from the wild. In January 2008, there were 56 1Alala, representing the entire known population of the species, in captivity at the Keauhou and Maui Bird Conservation Centers, on Hawai1i and Maui islands, respectively. Historically, the 1Alala was restricted to the dry and mesic forests in the western and southern portions of the island of Hawai1i. The species is associated with 1ohi1a-koa (Metrosideros polymorpha) and 1ohi1a-koa-koa (Acacia koa) forests with an understory of native fruit-bearing trees and shrubs. Current threats include predation by nonnative mammals and the endangered 1Io or Hawaiian hawk (Buteo solitarius), introduced diseases, and habitat loss and fragmentation. Inbreeding depression may be reducing the reproductive success of the captive population, and loss of wild behaviors in captivity might reduce survivorship of captive-raised birds released into the wild. Recovery actions in this revised plan are designed to address threats to the 1Alala to achieve the recovery objectives of downlisting to threatened status and then eventually delisting (removing from the list of endangered and threatened species). Because the 1Alala exists only as a small population in captivity, the revised recovery plan emphasizes recovery actions for the next 5 years as well as presenting an overall strategy for long-term recovery. Given that recovery will be based on releases of captive-bred 1Alala to the wild, and much of the data necessary to determine the population size and parameters needed for recovery of the species do not exist at this time, it is only possible to establish general recovery criteria. We will consider the 1Alala to be recovered when the genetic diversity that was present in the 1Alala E:\FR\FM\17APN1.SGM 17APN1
