Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) will publish a summary of
information collection requests under
OMB review, in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports
Clearance Officer at (240) 276–1243.
Project: Substance Abuse Prevention
and Treatment Block Grant Synar
Report Format, FFY 2020–2022—(OMB
No. 0930–0222)—Extension
Section 1926 of the Public Health
Service Act [42 U.S.C. 300x–26]
stipulates that Substance Abuse
Prevention and Treatment Block Grant
(SABG) funding agreements for alcohol
and drug abuse programs for fiscal year
1994 and subsequent fiscal years require
states to have in effect a law providing
that it is unlawful for any manufacturer,
retailer, or distributor of tobacco
products to sell or distribute any such
product to any individual under the age
of 18. This section further requires that
states conduct annual, random,
unannounced inspections to ensure
compliance with the law; that the state
submit annually a report describing the
results of the inspections, the activities
carried out by the state to enforce the
required law, the success the state has
achieved in reducing the availability of
tobacco products to individuals under
the age of 18, and the strategies to be
utilized by the state for enforcing such
law during the fiscal year for which the
grant is sought.
Before making an award to a state
under the SABG, the Secretary must
make a determination that the state has
maintained compliance with these
requirements. If a determination is made
that the state is not in compliance,
penalties shall be applied. Penalties
ranged from 10 percent of the Block
Grant in applicable year 1 (FFY 1997
SABG Applications) to 40 percent in
applicable year 4 (FFY 2000 SABG
Applications) and subsequent years.
Respondents include the 50 states, the
District of Columbia, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa,
the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, Palau, Micronesia, and
the Marshall Islands. Red Lake Indian
Tribe is not subject to tobacco
requirements.
Regulations that implement this
legislation are at 45 CFR 96.130, are
approved by OMB under control
number 0930–0163, and require that
each state submit an annual Synar
report to the Secretary describing their
progress in complying with section 1926
of the PHS Act. The Synar report, due
December 31 following the fiscal year
for which the state is reporting,
describes the results of the inspections
and the activities carried out by the state
to enforce the required law; the success
the state has achieved in reducing the
availability of tobacco products to
individuals under the age of 18; and the
strategies to be utilized by the state for
enforcing such law during the fiscal
year for which the grant is sought.
SAMHSA’s Center for Substance Abuse
Prevention will request an extension of
OMB approval of the current report
format associated with section 1926 (42
U.S.C. 300x–26) to 2022. Extending
OMB approval of the current report
format will continue to facilitate
consistent, credible, and efficient
monitoring of Synar compliance across
the states.

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act), are no longer necessary
and the endangered species may be
removed from the Act’s protections. We
request review and comments on these
draft recovery plan amendments from
local, State, Tribal, and Federal
agencies, nongovernmental
organizations, and the public.
DATES: In order to be considered,
comments on the draft recovery plan
amendments must be received on or
before April 1, 2019.

SUMMARY:
Background
In this notice, we announce the
availability of 26 draft recovery plan
amendments, which revise recovery
criteria for 42 endangered and
threatened species, for public review
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:21 Jan 30, 2019

and comment. These 26 draft recovery
plan amendments are a subset of a larger
effort under way to revise up to 182
recovery plans covering up to 305
species in order to achieve the following
Department of the Interior Agency
Priority Performance Goal outlined in
the Department’s Strategic Plan for
Fiscal Years 2018–2022: ‘‘By September
30, 2019, 100% of all Fish and Wildlife
Service recovery plans will have
quantitative criteria for what constitutes
a recovered species.’’ Given the timeline
associated with this Agency Priority
Performance goal, we are relying on the
public comment period to facilitate an
efficient communication, coordination,
and collaboration process with the wide
variety of potential stakeholders we
consider essential to the development
and implementation of recovery plans.
Recovery plans must be designed so that
all stakeholders and the public
understand the rationale behind the
recovery program, whether they were
involved in writing the plan or not, and
recognize their role in its
implementation. We are, therefore,
requesting submission of any
information that may help achieve (1)
the necessary understanding of species’
biology, threats and recovery needs; (2)
identification of implementation issues
and concerns; and (3) facilitation of
more effective implementation,
associated with these draft amendments
that revise recovery criteria for these 42
species.
The Service is required to develop
and implement recovery plans ‘‘for the
conservation and survival’’ of listed
species under section 4(f) of the Act,
unless the Service finds that developing
a recovery plan would not promote the
conservation of the species. The Act
also requires inclusion of: (1) ‘‘Sitespecific management actions as may be
necessary to achieve the plan’s goal for
the conservation and survival of the
species’’; (2) ‘‘Objective, measurable
criteria which, when met, would result
in a determination . . . that the species
be removed from the list’’; and (3)
‘‘Estimates of the time required and the
cost to carry out those measures needed
to achieve the plan’s goal and to achieve
intermediate steps toward that goal.’’
The purpose of a recovery plan is to
provide a roadmap for a species’
recovery, with the goal of improving its
status and managing its threats to the
point at which protections under the
Act are no longer needed. A recovery
plan identifies, organizes, and
prioritizes recovery actions and is,
therefore, an important guide to ensure
sound scientific decision-making
throughout the recovery process, which
can take decades. Recovery plans
PO 00000
Frm 00146
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
791
provide important guidance to the
Service, States, other partners, and the
general public on methods of
minimizing threats to listed species and
measurable objectives against which to
measure the progress towards recovery;
they are guidance and not regulatory
documents.
Recovery plans should be consulted
frequently, used to initiate recovery
activities, and updated as needed.
Keeping recovery plans current will
ensure that the species benefits through
timely, partner-coordinated
implementation, based on the best
available information. A review of the
recovery plan and its implementation,
however, may show that the recovery
plan is out of date or its usefulness is
limited and, therefore, warrants
modification. The need for, and extent
of, recovery plan modifications will
vary considerably among recovery
plans, depending on the scope and
complexity of the initial plan, the
structure of the document, and the
involvement of stakeholders.
The need for revision may be
triggered when, among other
possibilities: (1) New information has
been identified, such as populationlevel threats to the species or previously
unknown life-history traits, that
necessitates new or revised recovery
strategy, actions, or criteria, or revision
of all three; (2) the current recovery plan
is out of date with regard to the
information presented in it or
requirements for an adequate recovery
plan (a recovery strategy, threats-based
recovery criteria, etc.); or (3) the current
plan is not achieving its objectives. An
amendment, a type of recovery plan
revision, is more limited in scope than
a full revision of the recovery plan and
modifies an existing plan, rather than
replacing the entire existing recovery
plan. Revisions benefit endangered and
threatened species, our partners, and the
public by incorporating new
information about life history, threats,
and/or species’ response to management
from study findings and focusing on
what is really needed for species’
recovery.
Recovery criteria serve as objective,
measurable guidelines to assist in
determining when an endangered
species has recovered to the point that
it may be downlisted to threatened, or
that the protections afforded by the Act
are no longer necessary and the species
may be delisted. Delisting is the removal
of a species from the Federal Lists of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants. Downlisting is the
reclassification of a species from an
endangered species to a threatened
species. The term ‘‘endangered species’’
E:\FR\FM\31JAN1.SGM
31JAN1
792
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 21 / Thursday, January 31, 2019 / Notices
means any species (species, subspecies,
or distinct population segment) that is
in danger of extinction throughout all or
a significant portion of its range. The
term ‘‘threatened species’’ means any
species which is likely to become an
endangered species within the
foreseeable future throughout all or a
significant portion of its range.
Recovery criteria should help indicate
when we would anticipate that an
analysis of the species’ status under
section 4(a)(1) would result in a
determination that the species is no
longer an endangered or threatened
species. A decision to revise the status
of or remove a species from the Federal
Lists of Endangered and Threatened
Wildlife and Plants, however, is
ultimately based on an analysis of the
threats to the species in accordance with
sections 4(a)(1) and 4(b) of the Act and
made ‘‘solely on the basis of the best
scientific and commercial data
available,’’ regardless of whether that
information differs from the recovery
plan. When changing the status of a
species, we first propose the action in
the Federal Register to seek public
comment and peer review, followed by
a final decision announced in the
Federal Register.
Revision of recovery plans requires
public notice and comment under
section 4(f)(4) of the Act, including: (1)
A Federal Register notice of availability
to give opportunity for public review
and comment; (2) consideration of all
information presented during the public
comment period; and (3) approval by
the Regional Director. When finalized,
these recovery plan amendments will be
made publicly available on the internet
through our Environmental
Conservation Online System (ECOS,
https://ecos.fws.gov).

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 26 Draft Recovery
Plan Amendments for 42 Species Across the United States
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability; opening of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 791]]
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the
availability of 26 draft recovery plan amendments for 42 endangered and
threatened species. We are amending recovery criteria to better assist
in determining when an endangered species has recovered to the point
that it may be reclassified as threatened, or that the protections
afforded by the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), are
no longer necessary and the endangered species may be removed from the
Act's protections. We request review and comments on these draft
recovery plan amendments from local, State, Tribal, and Federal
agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and the public.
DATES: In order to be considered, comments on the draft recovery plan
amendments must be received on or before April 1, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Reviewing documents: If you wish to review these draft
recovery plan amendments, you may obtain copies from the website
addresses listed in the table provided in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
You may also request copies of draft recovery plan amendments by
contacting the individuals listed in the table provided in this notice,
relevant to each species or recovery plan, or both.
Submitting comments: If you wish to comment, see the table provided
in this notice and you may submit your comments by one of the following
methods:
1. You may submit written comments and materials to each field
office mailing address for the species in which you are interested;
2. You may hand-deliver written comments to each field office, in
the table at the identified address, for the species in which you are
interested; or
3. You may send comments by email to the identified contact
person's email address in the table, for each species. Please include
``Amended Recovery Plan Comments'' in the subject line.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information on a particular
species, contact the appropriate person listed in the table for each
species in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. Individuals who are hearing
impaired may call the Federal Relay Service at 800-877-8339 for TTY
assistance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In this notice, we announce the availability of 26 draft recovery
plan amendments, which revise recovery criteria for 42 endangered and
threatened species, for public review and comment. These 26 draft
recovery plan amendments are a subset of a larger effort under way to
revise up to 182 recovery plans covering up to 305 species in order to
achieve the following Department of the Interior Agency Priority
Performance Goal outlined in the Department's Strategic Plan for Fiscal
Years 2018-2022: ``By September 30, 2019, 100% of all Fish and Wildlife
Service recovery plans will have quantitative criteria for what
constitutes a recovered species.'' Given the timeline associated with
this Agency Priority Performance goal, we are relying on the public
comment period to facilitate an efficient communication, coordination,
and collaboration process with the wide variety of potential
stakeholders we consider essential to the development and
implementation of recovery plans. Recovery plans must be designed so
that all stakeholders and the public understand the rationale behind
the recovery program, whether they were involved in writing the plan or
not, and recognize their role in its implementation. We are, therefore,
requesting submission of any information that may help achieve (1) the
necessary understanding of species' biology, threats and recovery
needs; (2) identification of implementation issues and concerns; and
(3) facilitation of more effective implementation, associated with
these draft amendments that revise recovery criteria for these 42
species.
The Service is required to develop and implement recovery plans
``for the conservation and survival'' of listed species under section
4(f) of the Act, unless the Service finds that developing a recovery
plan would not promote the conservation of the species. The Act also
requires inclusion of: (1) ``Site-specific management actions as may be
necessary to achieve the plan's goal for the conservation and survival
of the species''; (2) ``Objective, measurable criteria which, when met,
would result in a determination . . . that the species be removed from
the list''; and (3) ``Estimates of the time required and the cost to
carry out those measures needed to achieve the plan's goal and to
achieve intermediate steps toward that goal.''
The purpose of a recovery plan is to provide a roadmap for a
species' recovery, with the goal of improving its status and managing
its threats to the point at which protections under the Act are no
longer needed. A recovery plan identifies, organizes, and prioritizes
recovery actions and is, therefore, an important guide to ensure sound
scientific decision-making throughout the recovery process, which can
take decades. Recovery plans provide important guidance to the Service,
States, other partners, and the general public on methods of minimizing
threats to listed species and measurable objectives against which to
measure the progress towards recovery; they are guidance and not
regulatory documents.
Recovery plans should be consulted frequently, used to initiate
recovery activities, and updated as needed. Keeping recovery plans
current will ensure that the species benefits through timely, partner-
coordinated implementation, based on the best available information. A
review of the recovery plan and its implementation, however, may show
that the recovery plan is out of date or its usefulness is limited and,
therefore, warrants modification. The need for, and extent of, recovery
plan modifications will vary considerably among recovery plans,
depending on the scope and complexity of the initial plan, the
structure of the document, and the involvement of stakeholders.
The need for revision may be triggered when, among other
possibilities: (1) New information has been identified, such as
population-level threats to the species or previously unknown life-
history traits, that necessitates new or revised recovery strategy,
actions, or criteria, or revision of all three; (2) the current
recovery plan is out of date with regard to the information presented
in it or requirements for an adequate recovery plan (a recovery
strategy, threats-based recovery criteria, etc.); or (3) the current
plan is not achieving its objectives. An amendment, a type of recovery
plan revision, is more limited in scope than a full revision of the
recovery plan and modifies an existing plan, rather than replacing the
entire existing recovery plan. Revisions benefit endangered and
threatened species, our partners, and the public by incorporating new
information about life history, threats, and/or species' response to
management from study findings and focusing on what is really needed
for species' recovery.
Recovery criteria serve as objective, measurable guidelines to
assist in determining when an endangered species has recovered to the
point that it may be downlisted to threatened, or that the protections
afforded by the Act are no longer necessary and the species may be
delisted. Delisting is the removal of a species from the Federal Lists
of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants. Downlisting is the
reclassification of a species from an endangered species to a
threatened species. The term ``endangered species''
[[Page 792]]
means any species (species, subspecies, or distinct population segment)
that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion
of its range. The term ``threatened species'' means any species which
is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future
throughout all or a significant portion of its range.
Recovery criteria should help indicate when we would anticipate
that an analysis of the species' status under section 4(a)(1) would
result in a determination that the species is no longer an endangered
or threatened species. A decision to revise the status of or remove a
species from the Federal Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants, however, is ultimately based on an analysis of the threats
to the species in accordance with sections 4(a)(1) and 4(b) of the Act
and made ``solely on the basis of the best scientific and commercial
data available,'' regardless of whether that information differs from
the recovery plan. When changing the status of a species, we first
propose the action in the Federal Register to seek public comment and
peer review, followed by a final decision announced in the Federal
Register.
Revision of recovery plans requires public notice and comment under
section 4(f)(4) of the Act, including: (1) A Federal Register notice of
availability to give opportunity for public review and comment; (2)
consideration of all information presented during the public comment
period; and (3) approval by the Regional Director. When finalized,
these recovery plan amendments will be made publicly available on the
internet through our Environmental Conservation Online System (ECOS,
https://ecos.fws.gov).
