ACTION: Notice of petition finding and
initiation of status review.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), announce a
90-day finding on a petition to list
Graptopetalum bartramii (Bartram
stonecrop) and Pectis imberbis
(beardless chinch weed) as endangered
or threatened under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act),
and to designate critical habitat. Based
on our review, we find that the petition
presents substantial scientific or
commercial information indicating that
listing Bartram stonecrop and beardless
chinch weed may be warranted.
Therefore, with the publication of this
notice, we will initiate a review of the
status of these species to determine if
listing Bartram stonecrop or beardless

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Request for Information
When we make a finding that a
petition presents substantial
information indicating that listing a
species may be warranted, we are
required to promptly review the status
of the species (status review). For the
status review to be complete and based
on the best available scientific and
commercial information, we request
information on Bartram stonecrop and
beardless chinch weed from
governmental agencies, Native
American Tribes, the scientific
community, industry, and any other
interested parties. We seek information
on:
(1) The species’ biology, range, and
population trends, including:
(a) Habitat requirements for
reproduction, germination, and survival;
(b) Genetics and taxonomy;
(c) Historical and current range
including distribution patterns;
(d) Historical and current population
levels, and current and projected trends;
and
(e) Past and ongoing conservation
measures for the species, its habitat, or
both.
(2) The factors that are the basis for
making a listing, delisting, or
downlisting determination for a species
under section 4(a) of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act)
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), which are:
(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.
If, after the status review, we
determine that listing Bartram stonecrop
or beardless chinch weed, or both, is
warranted, we will propose critical
habitat (see definition in section 3(5)(A)
of the Act), under section 4 of the Act,
to the maximum extent prudent and
determinable at the time we propose to
list the species. Therefore, we request
data and information on:
(1) What may constitute ‘‘physical or
biological features essential to the
conservation’’ of each species within the
geographical range currently occupied
by the species;
(2) Where these features are currently
found;
(3) Whether any of these features may
require special management
considerations or protection;
