Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice; request for information.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), announce our
intention to conduct a 5-year status
review under the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended, for the polar
bear (Ursus maritimus). The polar bear
was listed as threatened in 2008. A 5year status review is based on the best
scientific and commercial data available
at the time of the review. We are
requesting submission of information
that has become available since the last
review of the species in 2017.
DATES: To ensure consideration of your
comments in our preparation of this 5year status review, we must receive your
comments and information by December
6, 2021. However, we will accept
information about any species at any
time.
SUMMARY:
Please submit your
information on the current status of the
polar bear by one of the following
methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are
initiating a 5-year status review under
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
for the polar bear (Ursus maritimus). 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 2017.
Why do we conduct a 5-year review?
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
E:\FR\FM\05OCN1.SGM
05OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 190 / Tuesday, October 5, 2021 / Notices
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 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:
(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.
