ADDRESSES:
[FR Doc. 2018–16902 Filed 8–7–18; 8:45 am]
A 5-year review is based on the best
scientific and commercial data available
at the time of the review. We are
requesting submission of any such
information that has become available
since the most recent status review for
each species.
Why do we conduct 5-year reviews and
species status assessments?
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). Listed wildlife and plants can be
found at https://ecos.fws.gov/tess_public/
pub/listedAnimals.jsp and https://
ecos.fws.gov/tess_public/pub/
listedPlants.jsp, respectively. 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 species under active
review. For additional information
about 5-year reviews, refer to our fact
sheet at https://www.fws.gov/
endangered/what-we-do/recoveryoverview.html.
What species are under review?
We are initiating 5-year status reviews
of the species in table 1.

What information do we consider in
our 5-year reviews and SSAs?
A 5-year review considers all new
information available at the time of the
review. In conducting the review, we
consider the best scientific and
commercial data that have become
available since the most recent status
review. We are seeking new information
specifically regarding:
(1) Species biology, including but not
limited to life history and habitat
requirements and impact tolerance
thresholds;
(2) Historical and current population
conditions, including but not limited to
population abundance, trends,
distribution, demographics, and
genetics;
(3) Historical and current habitat
conditions, including but not limited to
amount, distribution, and suitability;
(4) Historical and current threats,
threat trends, and threat projections in
relation to the five listing factors (as
defined in section 4(a)(1) of the ESA);
(5) Conservation measures for the
species that have been implemented or
are planned; and
(6) 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 received will be
considered during the 5-year review and
will also be useful in evaluating ongoing
recovery programs for the species.
Request for New Information
To ensure that 5-year reviews are
based on the best available scientific
and commercial information, we request
new information from all sources. If you

Abstract: The National Land Remote
Sensing Education, Outreach and
Research Activity (NLRSEORA) is an
effort that involves the development of
a U.S. national consortium in building
the capability to receive, process and
archive remotely sensed data for the
purpose of providing access to
university and state organizations in a
ready-to-use format; and to expand the
science of remote sensing through
education, research/applications
development and outreach in areas such
as environmental monitoring to include
the effects of climate variability on
water availability (or lack thereof) and
phenology, natural resource
management and disaster analysis.
Respondents are submitting proposals to
acquire funding for a national (U.S.)
program to promote the uses of spacebased land remote sensing data and
technologies through education and

outreach at the state and local level and
through university-based and
collaborative research projects. The
information collected will ensure that
sufficient and relevant information is
available to evaluate and select a
proposal for funding. A panel of USGS
Land Resources Mission Area managers
and scientists will review each proposal
to evaluate the technical merit,
requirements, and priorities identified
in the call for proposals.
This notice concerns the collection of
information that is sufficient and
relevant to evaluate and select proposals
for funding. We will protect information
from respondents considered
proprietary under the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its
implementing regulations (43 CFR part
2), and under regulations at 30 CFR
250.197, ‘‘Data and information to be
made available to the public or for
limited inspection.’’ Responses are
voluntary. No questions of a ‘‘sensitive’’
nature are asked. We intend to release
the project abstracts and primary
investigators for awarded/funded
projects only.
Title of Collection: National Land
Remote Sensing Education, Outreach
and Research Activity (NLRSEORA).
OMB Control Number: 1028–0085.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Public

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of 5-
Year Reviews of 19 Northeastern 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 reviews under the Endangered Species Act, as amended
(ESA), for 19 northeastern species. A 5-year review is based on the
best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the
review. We are requesting submission of any such information that has
become available since the previous 5-year review for each species.
DATES: To ensure consideration, please submit your written information
by September 7, 2018. However, we will continue to accept new
information about any listed species at any time.
ADDRESSES: For instructions on how and where to submit information, see
Request for Information and Table 2--Contacts under SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information regarding a particular
species, contact the appropriate person or office listed in Table 2--
Contacts in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. For general information, contact
Mary Parkin, by U.S. mail at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 300
Westgate Center Drive, Hadley, MA 01035; by telephone at 617-417-3331;
or by electronic mail at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the Service, are initiating 5-year
reviews under the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) for 19 northeastern
species: The endangered sandplain gerardia, roseate tern (northeastern
North American population), Roanoke logperch, Virginia big-eared bat,
dwarf wedgemussel, northern riffleshell, clubshell, purple bean,
Peter's Mountain mallow, Furbish's lousewort, and northeastern bulrush,
and the threatened Puritan tiger beetle, northeastern beach tiger
beetle, flat-spired three-toothed (=Cheat) snail, Chittenango ovate
amber snail, bog turtle (northern population), American hart's-tongue
fern, Knieskern's beaked-rush, and Virginia sneezeweed.
A 5-year review is based on the best scientific and commercial data
available at the time of the review. We are requesting submission of
any such information that has become available since the most recent
status review for each species.
Why do we conduct 5-year reviews and species status assessments?
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). Listed wildlife and plants can be found at
https://ecos.fws.gov/tess_public/pub/listedAnimals.jsp and https://ecos.fws.gov/tess_public/pub/listedPlants.jsp, respectively. 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 species
under active review. For additional information about 5-year reviews,
refer to our fact sheet at https://www.fws.gov/endangered/what-we-do/recovery-overview.html.
What species are under review?

What information do we consider in our 5-year reviews and SSAs?
A 5-year review considers all new information available at the time
of the review. In conducting the review, we consider the best
scientific and commercial data that have become available since the
most recent status review. We are seeking new information specifically
regarding:
(1) Species biology, including but not limited to life history and
habitat requirements and impact tolerance thresholds;
(2) Historical and current population conditions, including but not
limited to population abundance, trends, distribution, demographics,
and genetics;
(3) Historical and current habitat conditions, including but not
limited to amount, distribution, and suitability;
(4) Historical and current threats, threat trends, and threat
projections in relation to the five listing factors (as defined in
section 4(a)(1) of the ESA);
(5) Conservation measures for the species that have been
implemented or are planned; and
(6) 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 received will be considered during the 5-year
review and will also be useful in evaluating ongoing recovery programs
for the species.
Request for New Information
To ensure that 5-year reviews are based on the best available
scientific and commercial information, we request new information from
