Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 117 / Monday, June 18, 2018 / Notices
with respect to complying with DOT
regulations, does not materially alter the
fact that a railroad employee is an
affected individual. Covered chemical
facilities must ensure that affected
individuals have appropriate
background checks performed, to
include a check for terrorist ties. This
ICR allows covered chemical facilities,
and their service providers that employ
affected individuals, an opportunity to
enable a check for terrorist ties to be
performed against the TSDB.
Comment: One commenter stated that
the CFATS PSP, as currently designed,
‘‘does not take into consideration that
Tier 3 and 4 facilities present a
comparatively lower risk profile than
Tier 1 and 2 sites.’’ The commenter
suggested that the Department
acknowledge the lower risk profile of
Tier 3 and Tier 4 covered chemical
facilities and not require them to
comply with 6 CFR 27.230(a)(12)(iv).
The commenter requested that Tier 3
and Tier 4 covered chemical facilities
still be allowed to voluntarily
participate.
Response: The Department believes
that 6 CFR 27.230(a)(12)(iv) mitigates
the risk of an individual with terrorist
ties having insider access. Terrorist
insiders could cause significant harm to
the United States through access to any
tiered chemical facility. To achieve the
anti-terrorism objective of CFATS, it is
necessary to mitigate this risk by
conducting terrorist ties checks at all
covered facilities. RBPS 12 accordingly
requires terrorist ties checks for
facilities of all four tiers.
Comment: One commenter questioned
the effectiveness of the CFATS PSP if
‘‘absent a clear national security,
homeland security, or law enforcement
rationale . . . DHS does not follow-up
with the company to alert it of the
possible threat.’’ The commenter further
stated that the ‘‘value of conducting
TSDB screening is questionable if an
identified bad actor is permitted
continued access to [chemicals of
interest] unbeknownst to the facility,
which is in the best position to ensure
that the person is not afforded that
opportunity.’’
Response: The Department’s design of
the CFATS Program is intended to
promote and enhance the security of
high-risk chemical facilities; the PSP is
one element of the larger CFATS
Program. To prevent a significant threat
to a facility or loss of life, a high-risk
chemical facility will be contacted
where appropriate and in accordance
with federal law and policy, and per law
enforcement and intelligence
requirements.

Oregon
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of initiation of reviews;
request for information.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), are initiating
5-year status reviews of 50 species in
California, Nevada, and the Klamath
Basin of Oregon under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).
A 5-year review is based on the best
scientific and commercial data available
at the time of the review; therefore, we
are requesting submission of any new
information on these species that has
become available since the last review.
DATES: To ensure consideration in our
reviews, we are requesting submission
of new information no later than August
17, 2018. However, we will continue to
accept new information about any
species at any time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Why do we conduct 5-year reviews?
Under the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (Act; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), we maintain lists of endangered
and threatened wildlife and plant
species (referred to as the List) in the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50
CFR 17.11 (for wildlife) 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. For additional information about
5-year reviews, refer to our factsheet at
https://www.fws.gov/endangered/whatwe-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 to 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.
Which species are under review?
This notice announces our active
review of the species listed in the table

What is a Distinct Population Segment?
Yellow-billed cuckoo, mountain
yellow-legged frog, and western snowy
plover were each listed as a Distinct
Population Segment (DPS) of a
vertebrate taxon. A DPS is defined in
the February 7, 1996, Policy Regarding
the Recognition of Distinct Vertebrate
Population Segments (61 FR 4722). For
a population to be listed under the Act
as a distinct vertebrate population
segment, three elements are considered:
(1) The discreteness of the population
segment in relation to the remainder of
the species to which it belongs; (2) the
significance of the population segment
to the species to which it belongs; and
(3) the population segment’s
conservation status in relation to the
Act’s standards for listing (i.e., is the
population segment endangered or
threatened?). Distinct population
segments of vertebrate species, as well
as subspecies of all listed species, may
be proposed for separate reclassification
or for removal from the list. We will
apply the DPS policy during the 5-year
review.
Request for New Information

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of 5-
Year Status Reviews of 50 Species in California, Nevada, and the
Klamath Basin of Oregon
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 status reviews of 50 species in California, Nevada,
and the Klamath Basin of Oregon under the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (Act). A 5-year review is based on the best scientific
and commercial data available at the time of the review; therefore, we
are requesting submission of any new information on these species that
has become available since the last review.
DATES: To ensure consideration in our reviews, we are requesting
submission of new information no later than August 17, 2018. However,
we will continue to accept new information about any species at any
time.
ADDRESSES: For how and where to send information, see Request for New
Information.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For whom to contact for species-
specific information, see Request for New Information. Individuals who
are hearing impaired or speech impaired may call the Federal Relay
Service at 800-877-8337 for TTY assistance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Why do we conduct 5-year reviews?
Under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act; 16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we maintain lists of endangered and threatened
wildlife and plant species (referred to as the List) in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.11 (for wildlife) 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. For additional
information about 5-year reviews, refer to our factsheet 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 to 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.
Which species are under review?
This notice announces our active review of the species listed in
the table below.

What is a Distinct Population Segment?
Yellow-billed cuckoo, mountain yellow-legged frog, and western
snowy plover were each listed as a Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of
a vertebrate taxon. A DPS is defined in the February 7, 1996, Policy
Regarding the Recognition of Distinct Vertebrate Population Segments
(61 FR 4722). For a population to be listed under the Act as a distinct
vertebrate population segment, three elements are considered: (1) The
discreteness of the population segment in relation to the remainder of
the species to which it belongs; (2) the significance of the population
segment to the species to which it belongs; and (3) the population
segment's conservation status in relation to the Act's standards for
listing (i.e., is the population segment endangered or threatened?).
Distinct population segments of vertebrate species, as well as
subspecies of all listed species, may be proposed for separate
reclassification or for removal from the list. We will apply the DPS
policy during the 5-year review.
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
information from all sources. See What Information Do We Consider in
Our Review? for specific criteria. If you submit information, please
support it with documentation such as maps, bibliographic references,
methods used to gather and analyze the data, and/or copies of any
pertinent publications, reports, or letters by knowledgeable sources.
