manage and process PMIP collections
and corrections to submitted data. It
also improves data integrity for the
Single Family Mortgage Insurance
Program and enables FHA to track
borrower’s insurance PMIP status.
Therefore, the FHA approved lenders
remit PMIP payments that are required
by the authority for this collection of
information in 24 CFR 203.264 and 24
CFR 203.269 and to comply with the
Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, 2

This notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected
parties concerning the collection of
information described in Section A on
the following:
(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the

We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are
initiating 5-year status reviews under
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
for 17 plant and 20 animal species. A 5year 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 such
information that has become available
since the last review for the species,
particularly information on the status,
threats, and recovery of the species that
may have become available.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Common name/
scientific name
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 title 50 of the Code of
Federal Regulations at 50 CFR 17.11(h)
(for wildlife) and 50 CFR 17.12(h) (for
plants). Listed wildlife and plants can
also be found at: https://ecos.fws.gov/
tess_public/pub/listedAnimals.jsp and
https://ecos.fws.gov/tess_public/pub/
listedPlants.jsp, respectively. Section
4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA 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 species under active
review. On the basis of such reviews
under section 4(c) (2)(B), we determine
whether any species should be removed
from the list (i.e., delisted) or
reclassified from endangered to
threatened or from threatened to
Contact person, email, phone
Status
(endangered or
threatened)
States where the species is
known to occur
endangered (16 U.S.C. 1533(c)(2)(B)).
Using the best scientific and commercial
data available, we will consider a
species for delisting if the data
substantiate that the species is neither
endangered nor threatened for one or
more of the following reasons: (1) The
species is considered extinct; (2) the
species is considered to be recovered;
and/or (3) the original data available
when the species was listed, or the
interpretation of such data, were in
error. Any change in Federal
classification would require a separate
rulemaking process. For additional
information about 5-year reviews, refer
to our fact sheet at https://www.fws.gov/
endangered/what-we-do/recoveryoverview.html.

What information do we consider in
our 5-year reviews?
A 5-year review considers all new
information available at the time of the
review. In conducting the review, we
consider the best scientific and
commercial data that have become
available since the most recent status
review. We are seeking new information
specifically regarding:
(1) Species biology, including but not
limited to life history and habitat
requirements and impact tolerance
thresholds;
(2) Historical and current population
conditions, including but not limited to
population abundance, trends,
distribution, demographics, and
genetics;
(3) Historical and current habitat
conditions, including but not limited to
amount, distribution, and suitability;
(4) Historical and current threats,
threat trends, and threat projections in
relation to the five listing factors (as
defined in section 4(a)(1) of the ESA);
(5) Conservation measures for the
species that have been implemented or
are planned; and
(6) 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 received will be
considered during the 5-year review and
ongoing recovery programs for the
species.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of 5-
Year Status Reviews for 37 Southeastern Species
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of initiation of reviews; request for information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year
status reviews for 37 species under the Endangered Species Act, as
amended. A 5-year review is an assessment of the best scientific and
commercial data available at the time of the review. We are requesting
submission of any such information that has become available since the
previous status review for each species.
DATES: To allow us adequate time to conduct these reviews, we must
receive your comments or information on or before August 23, 2021.
However, we will continue to accept new information about any listed
species at any time.
ADDRESSES: For instructions on how and where to request or submit
information, see Request for New Information under SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
General Information: Aaron Valenta, (404) 679-4144, via email at

Service, 1875 Century Boulevard, Atlanta, GA 30345.

Species-Specific Information and Submission of Comments: Please
refer to Request for New Information under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
Individuals who are hearing impaired or speech impaired may call
the Federal Relay Service at 1-800-877-8339 for TTY assistance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are
initiating 5-year status reviews under the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), for 17 plant and 20
animal species. 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 such information that has become
available since the last review for the species, particularly
information on the status, threats, and recovery of the species that
may have become available.
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
title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations at 50 CFR 17.11(h) (for
wildlife) and 50 CFR 17.12(h) (for plants). Listed wildlife and plants
can also be found at: https://ecos.fws.gov/tess_public/pub/listedAnimals.jsp and https://ecos.fws.gov/tess_public/pub/listedPlants.jsp, respectively. Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA 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 species under active review. On the
basis of such reviews under section 4(c) (2)(B), we determine whether
any species should be removed from the list (i.e., delisted) or
reclassified from endangered to threatened or from threatened to
endangered (16 U.S.C. 1533(c)(2)(B)). Using the best scientific and
commercial data available, we will consider a species for delisting if
the data substantiate that the species is neither endangered nor
threatened for one or more of the following reasons: (1) The species is
considered extinct; (2) the species is considered to be recovered; and/
or (3) the original data available when the species was listed, or the
interpretation of such data, were in error. Any change in Federal
classification would require a separate rulemaking process. For
additional information about 5-year reviews, refer to our fact sheet at
https://www.fws.gov/endangered/what-we-do/recovery-overview.html.

What information do we consider in our 5-year reviews?
A 5-year review considers all new information available at the time
of the review. In conducting the review, we consider the best
scientific and commercial data that have become available since the
most recent status review. We are seeking new information specifically
regarding:
(1) Species biology, including but not limited to life history and
habitat requirements and impact tolerance thresholds;
(2) Historical and current population conditions, including but not
limited to population abundance, trends, distribution, demographics,
and genetics;
(3) Historical and current habitat conditions, including but not
limited to amount, distribution, and suitability;
(4) Historical and current threats, threat trends, and threat
projections in relation to the five listing factors (as defined in
section 4(a)(1) of the ESA);
(5) Conservation measures for the species that have been
implemented or are planned; and
(6) 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 received will be considered during the 5-year
review and ongoing recovery programs for the species.
Request for New Information
To ensure that 5-year reviews are based on the best available
scientific and commercial information, we request new information from
all sources. Please use the contact information listed in the table
above that is associated with the species for which you are submitting
information. If you submit information, please support it with
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.
How do I ask questions or provide information?
