SUMMARY: Why do we conduct a 5-year review? Under the ESA (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. Further, our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing those species under active review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are initiating a 5-year status review under the ESA for the Eskimo curlew (Numenius borealis). A 5-year status 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: (1) The biology of the species, including, but not limited to, population trends, distribution, abundance, demographics, and genetics; (2) Habitat conditions, including, but not limited to, amount, distribution, and suitability; (3) Conservation measures that have been implemented that benefit the species; (4) Threat status and trends in relation to the five listing factors (as defined in section 4(a)(1) of the Act); and (5) 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. In the case of the Eskimo curlew, we concluded in our 2011 5-year review that the probability that the species remained extant was extremely low based on the scarcity of recent sightings and the length of time that has passed since the last sighting that was confirmed with physical evidence.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of a 5-
Year Review of the Eskimo Curlew

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice; request for information.

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

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce our 
intention to conduct a 5-year status review under the Endangered 
Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA), for the Eskimo curlew. 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 information that has become available since the last 
review of the species in 2011.

DATES: To ensure consideration of your comments in our preparation of 
this 5-year status review, we must receive your comments and 
information by July 22, 2016. However, we will accept information about 
any species at any time.

ADDRESSES: Please submit your information on the current status of the 
Eskimo curlew by one of the following methods: Email: ted_swem@fws.gov 
or U.S. mail or hand delivery: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, ATTN: 
Eskimo curlew, 101 12th Avenue, Room 110, Fairbanks, AK 99701. For more 
about submitting information, see Request for Information in the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section, below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ted Swem, Fairbanks Fish and Wildlife 
Field Office, by telephone at 907-456-0441. 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 a 5-year status review 
under the ESA for the Eskimo curlew (Numenius borealis). 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 information that has become available since the last 
review of the species in 2011.

Why do we conduct a 5-year review?

    Under the ESA (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. Further, 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 
fact sheet.

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:
    (1) The biology of the species, including, but not limited to, 
population trends, distribution, abundance, demographics, and genetics;
    (2) Habitat conditions, including, but not limited to, amount, 
distribution, and suitability;
    (3) Conservation measures that have been implemented that benefit 
the species;
    (4) Threat status and trends in relation to the five listing 
factors (as defined in section 4(a)(1) of the Act); and
    (5) 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.
    In the case of the Eskimo curlew, we concluded in our 2011 5-year 
review that the probability that the species remained extant was 
extremely low based on the scarcity of recent sightings and the length 
of time that has passed since the last sighting that was confirmed with 
physical evidence. We

[[Page 32343]]

will therefore focus this 5-year review upon reported sightings or 
other recent information on the species' possible existence. Thus, we 
ask, in particular, for information on recent sightings, including 
indication as to whether corroborating evidence (such as photographs) 
is available.

support it with documentation such as maps, bibliographic references,

If you submit purported sightings of the species, please also provide 
supporting documentation in any form to the extent that it is 
available.
