conserve or improve quality Gila chub
habitat.
5. Work with stakeholders to improve
and conserve existing and newly
established Gila chub populations and
their habitats and ensure that
appropriate management plans and
agreements are in place post-delisting.
6. Promote conservation of Gila chub
in Mexico and on Tribal lands by
forming partnerships and supporting
research, outreach, and conservation
management.
7. Monitor remnant, repatriated, and
refuge populations to inform adaptive
management strategies.
The draft recovery plan contains
recovery criteria based on protecting all
available remnant populations and
replicating each MU in at least two
streams. To achieve recovery criteria,
threats of nonnative fish predation and
competition, habitat alteration and
fragmentation, and decreasing water
availability should be controlled to
manageable levels in streams occupied
by Gila chub such that these threats do
not pose imminent or chronic
downward pressures on population
sizes. When the status of Gila chub
meets these criteria, the species will no
longer meet the conditions of being
endangered throughout a significant
portion of its range and will no longer
warrant listing.

Request for Public Comments
Section 4(f) of the Act requires us to
provide public notice and an
opportunity for public review and
comment during recovery plan
development. It is also our policy to
request peer review of recovery plans
(July 1, 1994; 59 FR 34270). We will
summarize and respond to the issues
raised by the public and peer reviewers
and post our responses on our Web site.
Substantive comments may or may not
result in changes to the recovery plan;
comments regarding recovery plan
implementation will be forwarded as
appropriate to Federal or other entities
so that they can be taken into account
during the course of implementing
recovery actions. Responses to
individual commenters will not be
provided, but we will provide a
summary of how we addressed
substantive comments in an appendix to
the approved recovery plan.
We invite written comments on the
draft recovery plan. In particular, we are
interested in additional information
regarding the current threats to the
species and the costs associated with
implementing the recommended
recovery actions. Suggestions of how to
craft recovery criteria addressing threats
