become available since the last review
of this species.
DATES: To ensure consideration, we
must receive your comments and

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 169 / Monday, August 31, 2020 / Notices
under the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.). A 5-year status review is based
on the best scientific and commercial
data available at the time of the review;
therefore, we are requesting submission
of any new information on this species
that has become available since the last
5-year review was conducted in 2010.
Why do we conduct 5-year reviews?
Under the ESA, we maintain Lists of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants (which we collectively refer
to as the List) in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.11 (for
animals) 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. Further, 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/whatwe-do/recovery-overview.html.
What information do we consider in
our reviews?
In conducting these reviews, we
consider the best scientific and
commercial data that have become
available since the listing determination
or most recent status review, such as:
(1) The biology of the species,
including but not limited to population
trends, distribution, abundance,
demographics, and genetics;
(2) Habitat conditions, including but
not limited to amount, distribution, and
suitability;
(3) Conservation measures that have
been implemented that benefit the
species;
(4) Threat status and trends in relation
to the five listing factors (as defined in
section 4(a)(1) of the ESA); and
(5) 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 will be
considered during the 5-year review and
will also be useful in evaluating the
ongoing recovery programs for the
species.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.), prohibits certain activities with
endangered and threatened species
unless authorized by a Federal permit.
The ESA and our implementing
regulations in part 17 of title 50 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
provide for the issuance of such permits
and require that we invite public
comment before issuing permits for
activities involving endangered species.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered species for
scientific purposes that promote
recovery or for enhancement of
propagation or survival of the species.
Our regulations implementing section
10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are found
at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered wildlife
species, 50 CFR 17.32 for threatened
