Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants; Recovery Plan for the
Behren’s Silverspot Butterfly
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability of
documents.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, announce the
availability of the final recovery plan for
the Behren’s silverspot butterfly. The
recovery plan includes recovery
objectives and criteria, and it includes
specific actions necessary to reclassify
the species from endangered to
threatened, and to achieve removal of
the species from the Federal Lists of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants.
ADDRESSES: You may obtain copies of
the final recovery plan from our Web
site at https://www.fws.gov/endangered/
species/recovery-plans.html.
Alternatively, you may contact the
Arcata Fish and Wildlife Office, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, 1655

(telephone 707–822–7201).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Bruce Bingham, Field Supervisor, at the
above street address or telephone
number (see ADDRESSES).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
Recovery of endangered or threatened
animals and plants to the point where
they are again secure, self-sustaining
members of their ecosystems is a
primary goal of our endangered species
program and the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (Act; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.). Recovery means
improvement of the status of listed
species to the point at which listing is
no longer appropriate under the criteria
specified in section 4(a)(1) of the Act.
The Act requires the development of
recovery plans for listed species, unless
such a plan would not promote the
conservation of a particular species.
The purpose of a recovery plan is to
provide a framework for the recovery of
species so that protection under the Act
is no longer necessary. A recovery plan
includes scientific information about
the species and provides criteria that
enable us to gauge whether downlisting
or delisting the species may be
warranted. Furthermore, recovery plans
