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 Lists of Endangered
and Threatened Wildlife and Plants, and
improved analytical methods.
We request any new information
concerning the status of any of these 53
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 may conduct a species status
assessment (SSA) for some of these
species. An SSA is a biological risk
assessment to aid decision makers who
must use the best available scientific
information to make policy decisions or
recommendations 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
any species of vertebrate fish or wildlife
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
Which species are under review?, above:
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 and materials received will
be available for public inspection, by
appointment, during normal business
hours at the offices where the comments

email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that

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.

ACTION: Notice of realty action.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) has examined
certain public lands in Lyon County,
and has found them suitable for
classification for lease and conveyance
to the Nevada Department of
Transportation (NDOT) under the
provisions of the Recreation & Public
Purpose (R&PP) Act, as amended; Sec. 7
of the Taylor Grazing Act; and Executive
Order No. 6910. The NDOT proposes to
use the land as a highway maintenance
station.
DATES: Submit written comments
regarding this proposed classification on
or before August 5, 2019. Comments
may be mailed or hand delivered to the
BLM office address below. Comments
may be emailed or faxed to the contacts

The FRS is available 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. You will receive a reply
during normal business hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The lands
consist of approximately 20 acres, must
conform to the official plat of survey,
and are legally described below.
The NDOT has not applied for more
than the 6,400-acre limitation for
recreation uses in a year (or 640 acres
if a nonprofit corporation or
association), nor more than 640 acres for
each of the programs involving public
resources other than recreation.
The NDOT has submitted a statement
in compliance with the regulations at 43
CFR 2741.4(b). The NDOT proposes to
use the land as a highway maintenance
station. The maintenance station will
support constructing, reconstructing,
improving, operating, managing, and
maintaining highways and ancillary
facilities. NDOT may use the
maintenance station for staging, as
needed, for highway construction
projects in the vicinity.
The lands examined and identified as
suitable for lease and conveyance under
the R&PP Act are legally described as:
jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 18 N., R. 24 E.,
Sec. 24, NE1⁄4NW1⁄4SW1⁄4 and
NW1⁄4NE1⁄4SW1⁄4.
The areas described aggregate 20 acres.
The lands are not needed for any
Federal purposes. The BLM Carson City
Field Office Consolidated Resource
Management Plan, dated May 2001,
addresses lease and conveyance of the
lands for recreational or public
purposes, and lease and conveyance of
the subject lands would be in the
national interest.
The BLM will provide a copy of this
notice to all interested parties once the
BLM publishes the Notice in the
Federal Register. The BLM will publish
a copy of the Federal Register Notice
with information about this proposed
realty action in a newspaper of local
circulation once a week for three
consecutive weeks. The regulations at
43 CFR Subpart 2741 addressing
requirements and procedures for
conveyances under the R&PP Act do not
require a public meeting.

material permit (NVCC 021630) that is
currently sited over the proposed lease
and conveyance lands.
Classification Comments: Interested

development of a highway maintenance
station. Comments on the classification
are restricted to whether the land is
physically suited for the proposal,
whether the use will maximize the
future use or uses of the land, whether
the use is consistent with local planning
and zoning, or if the use is consistent
with state and Federal programs.
