Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 226 / Wednesday, November 24, 2010 / Notices
Does the size or creditworthiness of
the loan originator influence the level of
scrutiny of individual loans?
(f) How has warehouse lending
evolved since HUD issued its
regulations on table funding and
secondary market transactions in 1994?
(2) What particular characteristics
distinguish warehouse lending from
retail lending? What is the role of
warehouse lending within the primary
mortgage market versus the secondary
market?
(3) What distinguishes the funding of
a mortgage loan from a sale of the
mortgage loan in the secondary market?
For example, what characteristics
indicate a bona fide transfer of the loan
obligation, such that the transaction
would be a secondary market
transaction that is not covered by HUD’s
RESPA regulations?
What are the basic mechanics for the
sale of a loan by a warehouse lender
into the secondary market? Specifically,
what are the mechanics for identifying,
locating, and transferring mortgages to
secondary market participants, and
what are the respective roles of each of
the parties involved in these activities?
Do warehouse lenders sell directly to
the secondary market? Do warehouse
lenders utilize loan originators in the
sale of loans into the secondary market?
If so, how?
Do warehouse lenders participate in
purchasing loans in the secondary
market? If so, do warehouse lenders
purchase loans from loan originators
with whom they have a warehouse
lending relationship? Do the criteria for
purchase from a loan originator within
the warehouse lending relationship
differ from the criteria for purchase from
a loan originator without this
relationship?
Is there a need to clarify the
secondary market exemption as set forth
in 24 CFR 3500.5(b)(7)? If so, how
should the exemption be clarified?
(4) What role does a warehouse lender
play in a table funded transaction?
Does a warehouse lender fund loans
at settlement contemporaneously with
assignment of the loans to the
warehouse lender by the loan originator,
or contemporaneously with receiving
some other evidence of a debt obligation
from the loan originator?
(5) What, if any, characteristics
distinguish a table funded transaction
completed by a mortgage broker from a
loan made by a mortgage banker who
has an advance commitment to sell the
loan after settlement?
(6) Does a warehouse lender fund
mortgage loans within the meaning of
‘‘settlement service’’ as that term is
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
defined in section 2 of RESPA and 24
CFR 3500.2?
(7) What factors determine who is
identified as the payee on the mortgage
loan note?
(8) Have concerns about protection
under bankruptcy laws influenced
changes in how warehouse lenders
operate in relation to loan originators? If
so, what concerns, and what changes
have resulted?
(9) What do warehouse lenders regard
as being their obligations for providing
the disclosures required under RESPA?
For example, in a mortgage loan
transaction that involves a warehouse
lender, what is the warehouse lender’s
obligation with regard to providing a
good faith estimate disclosure to the
borrower?
(10) Do consumers or others have
concerns with regard to mortgage
industry participants’ current
interpretation of HUD’s secondary
market exemption, including the impact
that such interpretations may have on
consumers regarding coverage of RESPA
disclosures and Section 8 protections
against kickbacks and referral fees?

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Why do we conduct 5-year reviews?
Under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
we maintain Lists of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife and Plants (which
we collectively refer to as the List) in
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at
50 CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12
(for plants). Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act
requires us to review each listed
species’ status at least once every 5
years. Then, under section 4(c)(2)(B), we
determine whether to remove any
species from the List (delist), to
reclassify it from endangered to
threatened, to reclassify it from
threatened to endangered, or to
conclude that the current listing is
appropriate. Any change in Federal
classification requires a separate
rulemaking process.
We use the following definitions,
from 50 CFR 424.02, in our analysis of
classification status:
(A) Species includes any species or
subspecies of fish, wildlife, or plant,
and any distinct population segment of
any species of vertebrate, that
interbreeds when mature;
(B) Endangered species means any
species that is in danger of extinction
throughout all or a significant portion of
its range; and
(C) 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.
Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21
require that we publish a notice in the
Federal Register announcing those
species under active review.
II. What Species Are Under Review
This notice announces our active
review of the 58 species listed in Table

III. 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:
(A) Species biology including, but not
limited to, population trends,
distribution, abundance, demographics,
and genetics;
(B) Habitat conditions including, but
not limited to, amount, distribution, and
suitability;
(C) Conservation measures that have
been implemented that benefit the
species;
(D) Threat status and trends (see five
factors under heading ‘‘How Do We
Determine Whether a Species is
Endangered or Threatened?’’); and
(E) 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.
IV. 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.
Under section 4(b)(1) of the Act, we
must base our assessment of these
factors solely on the best scientific and
commercial data available.

V. What could happen as a result of this
review?
For each species under review, if we
find new information that indicates a
change in classification may be
warranted, we may propose, through
formal rulemaking, to:
(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 no
formal rulemaking is required; the
species remains on the List under its
current status.
VI. Request for New Information
To ensure that a 5-year review is
complete and based on the best
available scientific and commercial
information, we request new
information from all sources. See ‘‘What
Information Do We Consider in Our
Review?’’ for specific criteria. If you
submit information, please support it
with documentation such as maps,
bibliographic references, methods used
to gather and analyze the data, and/or
copies of any pertinent publications,
reports, or letters by knowledgeable
sources.
If you wish to provide information for
any species listed above, please submit
your comments and materials to the
Field Supervisor of the appropriate Fish
and Wildlife Office (see ADDRESSES
section).
VII. Public Availability of Comments
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.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 5-Year Status
Reviews of 58 Species in Washington, Oregon, California, and Hawaii
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of initiation of reviews; request for information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year
reviews for 58 species in Washington, Oregon, California, and 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 our
5-year reviews we will determine whether these species are properly
classified under the Act.
DATES: To ensure consideration in our reviews, we are requesting
submission of new information no later than January 24, 2011. However,
we will continue to accept new information about any listed species at
any time.
ADDRESSES: For the 52 species in Hawaii (see Table 1 below), submit
information 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 can
also be submitted by e-mail to: pifwo-5yr-review@fws.gov.
For the Oregon silverspot butterfly, northern spotted owl, and
Stephanomeria malheurensis, submit

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Why do we conduct 5-year reviews?
Under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we maintain Lists of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (which we collectively
refer to as the List) in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50
CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12 (for plants). Section 4(c)(2)(A) of
the Act requires us to review each listed species' status at least once
every 5 years. Then, under section 4(c)(2)(B), we determine whether to
remove any species from the List (delist), to reclassify it from
endangered to threatened, to reclassify it from threatened to
endangered, or to conclude that the current listing is appropriate. Any
change in Federal classification requires a separate rulemaking
process.
We use the following definitions, from 50 CFR 424.02, in our
analysis of classification status:
(A) Species includes any species or subspecies of fish, wildlife,
or plant, and any distinct population segment of any species of
vertebrate, that interbreeds when mature;
(B) Endangered species means any species that is in danger of
extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range; and
(C) 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.
Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish a notice
in the Federal Register announcing those species under active review.
II. What Species Are Under Review

III. 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:
(A) Species biology including, but not limited to, population
trends, distribution, abundance, demographics, and genetics;
(B) Habitat conditions including, but not limited to, amount,
distribution, and suitability;
(C) Conservation measures that have been implemented that benefit
the species;
(D) Threat status and trends (see five factors under heading ``How
Do We Determine Whether a Species is Endangered or Threatened?''); and
(E) 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.
IV. 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.
Under section 4(b)(1) of the Act, we must base our assessment of
these factors solely on the best scientific and commercial data
available.
V. What could happen as a result of this review?
For each species under review, if we find new information that
indicates a change in classification may be warranted, we may propose,
through formal rulemaking, to:
(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 no formal rulemaking is required; the species remains on the List
under its current status.
VI. Request for New Information
To ensure that a 5-year review is complete and based on the best
available scientific and commercial information, we request new
information from all sources. See ``What Information Do We Consider in
Our Review?'' for specific criteria. If you submit information, please
support it with documentation such as maps, bibliographic references,
methods used to gather and analyze the data, and/or copies of any
pertinent publications, reports, or letters by knowledgeable sources.
If you wish to provide information for any species listed above,
please submit your comments and materials to the Field Supervisor of
the appropriate Fish and Wildlife Office (see ADDRESSES section).
VII. Public Availability of Comments
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.
Comments and materials received will be available for public
inspection, by appointment, during normal business hours at the offices
where the comments are submitted.
