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 42 species
under the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended. A 5-year review is an
assessment of the best scientific and
commercial data available at the time of
the review. We are requesting
submission of information that has
SUMMARY:
Common name/scientific name
become available since the last reviews
of these species.
DATES: To allow us adequate time to
conduct these reviews, we must receive
your comments or information on or
before October 5, 2018. However, we
will continue to accept new information
about any listed species at any time.
ADDRESSES: For instructions on how to
submit information and review
information that we receive on these
species, see Request for New
Information under SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION.

Status
(endangered or
threatened)
et seq.), we maintain lists of endangered
and threatened wildlife and plant
species (referred to as the Lists) in title
50 of 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 ESA 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/

What information do we consider in
our review?
A 5-year review considers the best
scientific and commercial data that have
become available since the current
listing determination or most recent
status review of each species, 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 (see the
five factors under How Do We
Determine Whether A Species Is
Endangered or Threatened?); 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.
We request any new information
concerning the status of any of these 42
species. Information submitted should
be supported by 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.

Endangered .....
We expect we could conduct a species
status assessment (SSA) for some of
these species under review. An SSA is
a biological risk assessment to aid
decision makers who must use the best
available scientific information to make
policy decisions under the ESA. The
SSA provides decisionmakers with a
scientifically rigorous characterization
of a species’ status, and of the likelihood
that the species will sustain
populations, along with key
uncertainties in that characterization.
It presents a compilation of the best
available information on a species, as
well as its ecological needs, based on
environmental factors. An SSA also
describes the current condition of the
species’ habitat and demographics, and
probable explanations for past and
ongoing changes in abundance and
distribution within the species’ range.
Finally, it forecasts the species’
response to probable future scenarios of
environmental conditions and
conservation efforts. Overall, an SSA
uses the conservation biology principles
of resiliency, redundancy, and
representation (collectively known as
the ‘‘3 Rs’’) to evaluate the current and
future condition of the species. As a
result, the SSA characterizes a species’
ability to sustain populations in the
wild over time based on the best
scientific understanding of current and
future abundance and distribution
within the species’ ecological settings.

Definitions
A. Species means any species or
subspecies of fish, wildlife, or plant,
and any distinct population segment of
any species of vertebrate which
interbreeds when mature.
B. Endangered means any species that
is in danger of extinction throughout all
or a significant portion of its range.
C. Threatened means any species that
is likely to become an endangered
species within the foreseeable future
throughout all or a significant portion of
its range.
How do we determine whether a
species is endangered or threatened?
Section 4(a)(1) of the ESA requires
that we determine whether a species is
endangered or threatened based on one
or more of the following five factors:
A. The present or threatened
destruction, modification, or
curtailment of its habitat or range;
B. Overutilization for commercial,
recreational, scientific, or educational
purposes;
C. Disease or predation;
D. The inadequacy of existing
regulatory mechanisms; or
E. Other natural or manmade factors
affecting its continued existence.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 5-Year Status
Reviews for 42 Southeastern 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 (Service), are
initiating 5-year status reviews of 42 species under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended. A 5-year review is an assessment of
the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the
review. We are requesting submission of information that has become
available since the last reviews of these species.
DATES: To allow us adequate time to conduct these reviews, we must
receive your comments or information on or before October 5, 2018.
However, we will continue to accept new information about any listed
species at any time.
ADDRESSES: For instructions on how to submit information and review
information that we receive on these species, see Request for New
Information under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For species-specific information, see
Request for New Information under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Why do we conduct 5-year reviews?
Under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we maintain lists of endangered and threatened
wildlife and plant species (referred to as the Lists) in title 50 of
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 ESA 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.
Which species are under review?
This notice announces our active 5-year reviews of the species in
the following table.

What information do we consider in our review?
A 5-year review considers the best scientific and commercial data
that have become available since the current listing determination or
most recent status review of each species, 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 (see the five factors under How Do We
Determine Whether A Species Is Endangered or Threatened?); 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.
We request any new information concerning the status of any of
these 42 species. Information submitted should be supported by
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.
We expect we could conduct a species status assessment (SSA) for
some of these species under review. An SSA is a biological risk
assessment to aid decision makers who must use the best available
scientific information to make policy decisions under the ESA. The SSA
provides decisionmakers with a scientifically rigorous characterization
of a species' status, and of the likelihood that the species will
sustain populations, along with key uncertainties in that
characterization.
It presents a compilation of the best available information on a
species, as well as its ecological needs, based on environmental
factors. An SSA also describes the current condition of the species'
habitat and demographics, and probable explanations for past and
ongoing changes in abundance and distribution within the species'
range. Finally, it forecasts the species' response to probable future
scenarios of environmental conditions and conservation efforts.
Overall, an SSA uses the conservation biology principles of resiliency,
redundancy, and representation (collectively known as the ``3 Rs'') to
evaluate the current and future condition of the species. As a result,
the SSA characterizes a species' ability to sustain populations in the
wild over time based on the best scientific understanding of current
and future abundance and distribution within the species' ecological
settings.
Definitions
A. Species means any species or subspecies of fish, wildlife, or
plant, and any distinct population segment of any species of vertebrate
which interbreeds when mature.
B. Endangered means any species that is in danger of extinction
throughout all or a significant portion of its range.
C. Threatened means any species that is likely to become an
endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a
significant portion of its range.
How do we determine whether a species is endangered or threatened?
Section 4(a)(1) of the ESA requires that we determine whether a
species is endangered or threatened based on one or more of the
following five factors:
A. The present or threatened destruction, modification, or
curtailment of its habitat or range;
B. Overutilization for commercial, recreational, scientific, or
educational purposes;
C. Disease or predation;
D. The inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; or
E. Other natural or manmade factors affecting its continued
existence.
Request for New Information
To do any of the following, contact the person associated with the
species you are interested in under the table in SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
[[Page 38323]]
A. To get more information on a species;
B. To submit information on a species; or
C. To review information we receive, which will be available for
public inspection by appointment, during normal business hours, at the
listed addresses.
Public Availability of Comments
Comments we receive become part of the administrative record
associated with this action. Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available
at any time. While you can request in your comment that we withhold
your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so. All submissions from
organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying
themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or
businesses, will be made available for public disclosure in their
entirety.
Availability of Status Reviews
All completed status reviews under the ESA are available via the
Service website, at https://www.fws.gov/endangered/species/us-species.html.
Authority
We publish this document under the authority of the Endangered
Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
