Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants; Initiation of 5-Year Status
Reviews of Six Listed Animal and Plant
Species
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of initiation of reviews;
request for information.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year
status reviews under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended, for
three plant and three 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.
DATES: To ensure consideration, please
send your written information by
January 4, 2022. However, we will
continue to accept new information
about any listed species at any time.
ADDRESSES: For instructions on how to
submit information for each species, see
the table in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To
request information, contact the
appropriate person in the table in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section or,
for general information, contact Laura
Ragan, via email at laura_ragan@fws.gov

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are
initiating 5-year status reviews under
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
for three plant and three 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

available since the last review for the
species.
SUMMARY:
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

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 additional information
