evidence of viable seed production over
a consecutive 10-year period for each of
the 4 recovery units; (2) maintaining a
range-wide total population of at least
3,500 individuals (approximately 77,700
stems (ramets) for at least 5 consecutive
years; (3) each of the four recovery units
have regulatory mechanisms or
conservation plans in place that address
habitat loss and degradation from
energy and mineral development, thus
helping meet population trend and
abundance targets identified in the first
two criteria; and (4) each of the four
recovery units are represented in an offsite seed or tissue collection to preserve
the genetic diversity of Jones cycladenia
and provide added protection from
potential stochastic events. Collections
should represent at least 75 percent of
the genetic diversity, as measured by the
number of unique alleles, represented in
each recovery unit. To help meet these
criteria, the draft recovery plan
identifies recovery actions for each

ACTION:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year
status reviews of 7 species under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended. 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
these species that has become available
since the last review of the species.
DATES: To ensure consideration in our
reviews, we are requesting submission
of new information no later than March
15, 2021. However, we will continue to
accept new information about any listed
species at any time.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
general information, contact Craig
Hansen, Regional Recovery Coordinator,
by phone at 303–236–4748 or by email
at craig_hansen@fws.gov. Individuals
who are hearing impaired or speech
impaired may call the Federal Relay
Service at 800–877–8339 for TTY
assistance. For information on a
particular species, contact the
appropriate person or office listed in the
table in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Why do we conduct 5-year status
reviews?
Under the Act (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) 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 Act
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 those
species under active review. For

Reviews,’’ and click on our factsheet.
What information do we consider in
our review?
A 5-year status review considers all
new information available at the time of
the review. 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:
(A) Species biology, including but not
limited to population trends,
distribution, abundance, demographics,
and genetics;
(B) Habitat conditions, including but
not limited to amount, distribution, and
suitability;
(C) Conservation measures that have
been implemented that benefit the
species;
(D) Threat status and trends in
relation to the five listing factors (as
defined in section 4(a)(1) of the Act);
and
(E) 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 status
review and will also be useful in
evaluating the ongoing recovery
programs for the species.
Which species are under review?
This notice announces our active
review of the seven species listed in the

In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we
provide the general public and other
Federal agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
On August 3, 2020, we published in
the Federal Register (85 FR 46694) a
notice of our intent to request that OMB
approve this information collection. In
that notice, we solicited comments for
60 days, ending on October 2, 2020. We
received one comment in response to
that notice, but it did not address the
information collection requirements. No
response to that comment is required.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other
Federal agencies to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:
