Background
In this notice, we announce for public
review and comment the availability of
29 draft recovery plan revisions, which
update recovery criteria for 42
endangered or threatened species
located in 11 States (Alabama,
California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii,
Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nevada, New
Jersey, North Carolina, and South
Carolina) and 4 unincorporated
territories (Guam, the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S.
Virgin Islands). This group of 29 draft
recovery plan revisions is the second
batch 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 revisions
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:15 Jun 26, 2019
Jkt 247001
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 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. Twenty-eight of the 29
proposed recovery plan revisions
noticed in this announcement are
modified with amendments that replace
only a portion of those plans, while one
recovery plan (Draft Revised Recovery
Plan for Valley Elderberry Longhorn
Beetle) is fully revised and completely
replaces the existing plan.
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’’
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) of the Act would result
in a determination that the species is no
longer an endangered species or a
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 revisions will be
made publicly available on the internet
through our Environmental
Conservation Online System (ECOS,
https://ecos.fws.gov).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[[Page 30761]]
Background
In this notice, we announce for public review and comment the
availability of 29 draft recovery plan revisions, which update recovery
criteria for 42 endangered or threatened species located in 11 States
(Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana,
Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, and South Carolina)
and 4 unincorporated territories (Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S.
Virgin Islands). This group of 29 draft recovery plan revisions is the
second batch 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 revisions 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. Twenty-eight of the 29 proposed recovery plan
revisions noticed in this announcement are modified with amendments
that replace only a portion of those plans, while one recovery plan
(Draft Revised Recovery Plan for Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle) is
fully revised and completely replaces the existing plan.
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'' 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) of the
Act would result in a determination that the species is no longer an
endangered species or a 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 revisions will be made publicly available on the
internet through our Environmental Conservation Online System (ECOS,
https://ecos.fws.gov).
