FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim Miller, 515–928–2523. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Introduction With this notice, we continue the CCP planning process for the Iowa Wetland Management District, which we began by publishing a notice of intent in the Federal Register (75 FR 7289) on February 18, 2010. For more about the initial process and the history of the district, see that notice. Background The National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966, as amended by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C. 668dd–668ee) (Administration Act), requires us to develop a CCP for each national wildlife refuge (including wetland management districts). The purpose in developing a CCP is to provide the district manager with a 15year strategy for achieving district purposes and contributing toward the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS), consistent with sound principles of fish and wildlife management, conservation, legal mandates, and Service policies. In addition to outlining broad management direction on conserving wildlife and their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities available to the public, including opportunities for hunting, fishing, wildlife observation and photography, and environmental education and interpretation. We will review and update the CCP at least every 15 years in accordance with the Administration Act. Each unit of the NWRS was established for specific purposes. We use these purposes as the foundation for developing and prioritizing the management goals and objectives for each unit within the NWRS mission, and to determine how the public can use each unit. The planning process is a way for us and the public to evaluate management goals and objectives that will ensure the best possible approach to wildlife, plant, and habitat conservation, while providing for wildlife-dependent recreation opportunities that are compatible with each unit’s establishing purposes and the mission of the NWRS. Additional Information The EA/draft CCP, which includes detailed information about the planning PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 50441 process, district, issues, and management alternatives considered and proposed, may be found at https:// www.fws.gov/midwest/planning/ iowawetlands/. There are four alternative management options considered in the EA. The Service’s preferred alternative is reflected in the draft CCP. The following regulation would be implemented on the Service’s fee title property within the district under any alternative: ‘‘You may only use or possess approved nontoxic shot shells while in the field, including shot shells used for hunting wild turkey.’’ The alternatives analyzed in detail include: • Alternative A, Current Management (No Action): This no-action alternative reflects the current management of the Iowa WMD. It provides the baseline against which to compare other alternatives. • Alternative B, Breeding Waterfowl: This alternative focuses on managing for breeding waterfowl by restoring cropland to perennial grassland in the uplands and restoring semi- or less permanent pothole wetlands in the lowlands. Food plots would be eliminated from the district, because they are not essential for breeding waterfowl survival. Environmental education, interpretation, and outreach would remain at current levels, with more emphasis on distributing a consistent message for the entire district. Public use opportunities would remain limited to hunting, fishing, and trapping. • Alternative C, Migrating Waterfowl: This alternative focuses on managing for migrating waterfowl by restoring cropland to perennial grassland in the uplands. Restoration in the lowlands would focus on semi- or less permanent pothole wetlands important to the restoration of semi-permanent to shallow lakes. This strategy would provide good water quality to support native vegetation and invertebrates as high-quality food for migrating waterfowl. Some food plots would remain within the district as an additional food source. Environmental education, interpretation, and outreach would remain at current levels, with more emphasis on distributing a consistent message for the entire district. Public use facilities (kiosks, etc.) would be provided at key locations, and other recreational opportunities would be provided, in addition to hunting, fishing, and trapping. • Alternative D, Breeding Waterfowl (Preferred Alternative): This alternative has components from all other alternatives. As in Alternative B, it focuses on managing for breeding E:\FR\FM\19AUN1.SGM 19AUN1

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of a 5-
Year Review of Nine Northeastern Species

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of initiation of reviews; request for information.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are 
initiating 5-year reviews under the Endangered Species Act (Act), as 
amended, for nine northeastern species. We will review the following 
endangered species: Peter's Mountain mallow, Jesup's milk-vetch, James 
spinymussel, sandplain gerardia, harperella, American chaffseed, and 
rough rabbitsfoot. We will also review the threatened northeastern 
beach tiger beetle and Virginia spiraea. A 5-year review is based on 
the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the 
review. We are requesting submission of any such information that has 
become available since the previous 5-year review for each species.

DATES: To ensure consideration, please send your written information by 
October 3, 2013. However, we will continue to accept new information 
about any listed species at any time.

ADDRESSES: For instructions on how and where to submit information, see 
``Request for Information'' and ``Contacts'' under SUPPLEMENTARY 
INFORMATION below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information regarding a particular 
species, contact the appropriate person or office listed in the 
``Contacts'' table in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section. For 
general information regarding this notice, contact Mary Parkin, by U.S. 
mail at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Northeast Regional Office, 300 
Westgate Center Drive, Hadley, MA 01035; by telephone at 617-417-3331; 
or by electronic mail at mary_parkin@fws.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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). Wildlife and plants on the List can be found at 
https://ecos.fws.gov/tess_public/pub/listedAnimals.jsp and https://ecos.fws.gov/tess_public/pub/listedPlants.jsp, respectively. Section 
4(c)(2)(A) of the Act requires us to review each listed species' status 
at least once every 5 years. Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 require 
that we publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing those 
species under active review. For additional information about 5-year 
reviews, refer to our fact sheet at: https://www.fws.gov/endangered/what-we-do/recovery-overview.html.

What information do we consider in our 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 have 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 in relation to the five listing 
factors (as defined in section 4(a)(1) of the Act); 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.
    Any new information will be considered during the 5-year review and 
will also be useful in evaluating the ongoing recovery programs for the 
species.

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
