Iris Lacustris (Dwarf Lake Iris); Draft
Recovery Plan for Review and
Comment
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of document availability.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) announces availability
for public review of the draft recovery
plan for the Iris lacustris (dwarf lake
iris), a species that is federally listed as
threatened under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended.
The species grows along the northern
shorelines of Lakes Michigan and
Huron, in the U.S. States of Wisconsin
and Michigan and in Ontario, Canada.
The purpose of the recovery plan is to
recover this species in order that it can
be removed from the list of Endangered
and Threatened Plants. The Service
solicits review and comment from the
public on this draft plan.
DATES: Comments on the draft recovery
plan must be received on or before June
29, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Persons wishing to review
the draft recovery plan may obtain a
copy by contacting the Field Supervisor,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Ecological Services Field Office, 2651
Coolidge Road, Suite 101, East Lansing,
MI 48823 (telephone 517–351–2555) or
by accessing the Web site: https://

Barbara Hosler, at the above address and
telephone. TTY users may contact Ms.
Hosler through the Federal Relay
Service at 800–877–8339.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
Recovery Program
Restoring an endangered or
threatened animal or plant to the point
where it is again a secure self-sustaining
member of its ecosystem is a primary
goal of the Service’s endangered species
program. To help guide the recovery
effort, the Service is working to prepare
recovery plans for most of the federally
listed threatened and endangered
species native to the United States.
Recovery plans describe actions
considered necessary for conservation of
the species, establish criteria for
reclassification and delisting, and
provide estimates of the time and costs
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4703

for implementing the recovery measures
needed.
The Act requires the development of
recovery plans for listed species unless
such a plan would not promote the
conservation of a particular species.
Section 4(f) of the Act, as amended in
1988, requires public notice and
opportunity for public review and
comment be provided during recovery
plan development. The Service will
consider all information presented
during a public comment period prior to
approval of each new or revised
recovery plan. The Service and other
Federal agencies will also take these
comments into consideration in the
course of implementing approved
recovery plans.
Dwarf Lake Iris
The dwarf lake iris was listed as
threatened on October 28, 1988 (via a
final rule published on September 28,
1988; 53 FR 37972), under the
provisions of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.). The species grows along the
northern shorelines of Lakes Michigan
and Huron, in the U.S. States of
Wisconsin and Michigan and in
Ontario, Canada. Of 165 known
occurrences, many lie on private
property where awareness of the
species’ presence and significance is
limited. Direct loss of plants and habitat
is continuing and is expected to
accelerate due to people’s high demand
of shoreline properties for development
and recreation.
Dwarf lake iris typically grows in
shallow soil over moist calcareous
sands, gravel, and beach rubble.
Sunlight is one of the most critical
factors to the growth and reproduction
of the species, and partly shaded or
sheltered forest edges are optimal for
sexual reproduction. Some form of
disturbance is also required to maintain
the forest openings that provide these
partial shade conditions. The species is
most often associated with shoreline
coniferous forests dominated by
northern white cedar and balsam fir.
The principal limiting factor for dwarf
lake iris is the availability of this
suitable shoreline habitat.
Recovery Criteria
The dwarf lake iris will be considered
for delisting when the likelihood of the
species becoming threatened in the
foreseeable future has been eliminated
by the achievement of three criteria:
Criterion 1
The species has a 95 percent
probability of persistence within the
next 20 years, based on data obtained
