has federalism implications if the
document either imposes substantial
direct compliance costs on state and
local governments and is not required
by statute, or the document preempts
state law, unless the agency meets the
consultation and funding requirements
of section 6 of the executive order. This
notice merely designates DDAs as
required under IRC Section 42, as
amended, for the use by political
subdivisions of the states in allocating
the LIHTC. This notice also details the
technical method used in making such
designations. As a result, this notice is
not subject to review under the order.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants; Initiation of 5-Year Status
Reviews of One Listed Animal and Five
Listed Plant Species
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of initiation of reviews;
request for information.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year
status reviews under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act),
for one animal and five plant species. A
5-year status review is based on the best
scientific and commercial data available
at the time of the review; therefore, we
SUMMARY:
are requesting submission of any such
information that has become available
since the last review for the species.
DATES: To ensure consideration, please
send your written information by
February 16, 2016. However, we will
continue to accept new information
about any listed species at any time.
ADDRESSES: For how to send comments
or information for each species, see the
table in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To
request information, contact the
appropriate person in the table in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section.
Individuals who are hearing impaired or
speech impaired may call the Federal
Relay Service at 800–877–8339 for TTY
assistance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are
initiating 5-year status reviews under
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act), for one animal and five
plant species: Illinois cave amphipod
(Gammarus acherondytes), Michigan
monkey flower (Mimulus
michiganensis), Running buffalo clover
(Trifolium stoloniferum), Minnesota
dwarf trout lily (Erythronium
propullans), Western prairie fringed
orchid (Platanthera praeclara), and
Prairie bush clover (Lespedeza
leptostachya).
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. 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, go to https://www.fws.gov/
endangered/what-we-do/recoveryoverview.html, scroll down to ‘‘Learn
More about 5-Year Reviews,’’ and click
on our factsheet.
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.
What species are under review?

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of 5-
Year Status Reviews of One Listed Animal and Five Listed Plant 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, are initiating 5-year
status reviews under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended
(Act), for one animal and five plant species. A 5-year status review is
based on the best scientific and commercial data available at the time
of the review; therefore, we are requesting submission of any such
information that has become available since the last review for the
species.
DATES: To ensure consideration, please send your written information by
February 16, 2016. However, we will continue to accept new information
about any listed species at any time.
ADDRESSES: For how to send comments or information for each species,
see the table in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request information, contact the
appropriate person in the table in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section. Individuals who are hearing impaired or speech impaired may
call the Federal Relay Service at 800-877-8339 for TTY assistance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are initiating 5-year status reviews
under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), for one
animal and five plant species: Illinois cave amphipod (Gammarus
acherondytes), Michigan monkey flower (Mimulus michiganensis), Running
buffalo clover (Trifolium stoloniferum), Minnesota dwarf trout lily
(Erythronium propullans), Western prairie fringed orchid (Platanthera
praeclara), and Prairie bush clover (Lespedeza leptostachya).
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. 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, go to https://www.fws.gov/endangered/what-we-do/recovery-overview.html, scroll down
to ``Learn More about 5-Year Reviews,'' and click on our factsheet.
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.
What species are under review?
