conservation plan, or other conservation
mechanism appropriate to the land
status. In addition, conservation
easements or other conservation
mechanisms appropriate to the land
status are held on neighboring lands,
such that new developments (e.g.,
residential, agricultural, and
commercial) are minimized and do not
impact groundwater availability in the
cie´negas supporting Canelo Hills ladiestresses populations.
Criterion 5: In fulfillment of Criterion
4, above, conservation and management
programs and plans address the threats
of cie´nega habitat loss, direct loss of
Canelo Hills ladies-tresses, and
pollinator decline to ensure continued
existence of the species. The following
requirements must be met: (a) Sitespecific plans are developed and fully
implemented, such that competing
native and nonnative vegetation is
reduced to a level that ensures Canelo
Hills ladies-tresses is not shaded and
their vigor is not negatively affected; a
more natural fire or other disturbance
regime is maintained; natural spring
flow supporting cienegas is increased by
reducing water loss and increasing
water conservation and recharge; moist
soil cie´nega habitat is increased;
predation and herbivory are minimized;
and native plant diversity is maintained,
thus promoting native pollinators; and
(b) data on the conservation and
management of Canelo Hills ladiestresses are collected and shared between
land managers and researchers.

Peer Review
In accordance with our policy,
‘‘Notice of Interagency Cooperative
Policy for Peer Review in Endangered
Species Act Activities,’’ which we
published on July 1, 1994 (59 FR
34270), and our August 22, 2016,
Memorandum, ‘‘Peer Review Process,’’
we have sought the expert opinion of at
least three appropriate and independent
specialists regarding scientific data and
interpretations contained in the species
biological report and the draft recovery
plan. We have ensured that the opinions
of peer reviewers were objective and
unbiased by following the guidelines set
forth in the 2016 Memorandum, which
updates and clarifies our policy on peer
review. The purpose of such review was
to ensure that our decisions are based
on scientifically sound data,
assumptions, and analysis. We have
addressed peer review comments and
incorporated changes in the publicly
available version of the SSA and this
version of the draft recovery plan.

Request for Public Comments
Section 4(f) of the ESA requires us to
provide public notice and an
opportunity for public review and
comment during recovery plan
development. Substantive comments
may or may not result in changes to the
recovery plan. Comments regarding
recovery plan implementation will be
forwarded as appropriate to Federal or
other entities so that they can be taken
into account during the course of
implementation of recovery actions.
We invite written comments on this
draft recovery plan. In particular, we are
interested in additional information
regarding the current threats to the
species, ongoing beneficial management
efforts, and the costs associated with
implementing the recommended
recovery actions. We are specifically
seeking comments on the following
questions:
• Understanding that the time and
cost presented in the draft recovery plan
will be fine-tuned as the RIS is
implemented, are the estimated time
and cost to recovery presented here
realistic? Is the estimate reflective of the
time and cost of actions that may have
already been implemented by Federal,
State, county, or other agencies? If not,
please provide suggestions or methods
for determining a more accurate
estimation.
• Do the draft recovery criteria
provide clear direction to partners on
what is needed to recover Canelo Hills
ladies-tresses? How could they be
improved for clarity?
• Are the draft recovery criteria both
objective and measurable given the
information available for Canelo Hills
ladies-tresses? Please provide
suggestions.
• Understanding that specific,
detailed, and area-specific recovery
activities have been developed in the
RIS, do the draft recovery actions
presented in the draft recovery plan
generally cover the types of actions
necessary to meet the recovery criteria?
If not, what general actions are missing?
Are any of the draft recovery actions
unnecessary for achieving recovery?
Have we prioritized the actions
appropriately?
The SSA is available as a supporting
document for the draft recovery plan,
but we are not seeking comments on
that document. We will consider all
comments we receive by the date
specified in DATES, above, prior to final
approval of the plan.
Public Availability of Comments
All comments we receive, including
names and addresses, will become part

of the administrative record and will be
available to the public. Before including
your address, phone number, email
address, or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—will be
publicly available. While you may
request in your comment that we
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service),
announce the availability of a draft
recovery plan for meltwater lednian
stonefly (Lednia tumana; hereafter,
MWS) and western glacier stonefly
(Zapada glacier; hereafter, WGS), two
insects listed as threatened under the
Endangered Species Act, as amended
(Act; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The draft
recovery plan includes objective,
measurable criteria, and site-specific
management actions as may be
necessary to remove each species from
the Federal List of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife. We request review
and comment on this draft recovery
plan from Federal, State, Tribal, and
local agencies and the public.
DATES:
Species Information
On December 23, 2019, we listed the
MWS and WGS as threatened species
(November 21, 2019; 84 FR 64210). We
did not designate critical habitat for
either species. We prepared a biological
report for the MWS and WGS (Service
2020), which is an in-depth but not
exhaustive review of the species’
biology and threats, an evaluation of its
biological status, and an assessment of
the resources and conditions needed to
PO 00000
Frm 00078
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

maintain long-term viability. We
summarize the biological report below.
MWS and WGS are small insects in
the stonefly family (Nemouridae) that
live in alpine streams that flow from
melting glaciers and snowfields in
Montana, Wyoming, and southwest
Alberta, Canada. Both species begin life
as eggs, hatch into aquatic nymphs, and
later mature into winged adults,
surviving briefly on land before
reproducing and dying. Both stonefly
species prefer cold water temperatures,
and therefore are most often found
within the first 600 meters (1,968 feet)
of a stream, almost immediately
downstream from sources of frozen
water, such as glaciers and snowfields.
The National Park Service manages 94
percent and 63 percent of habitat for
MWS and WGS, respectively. The U.S.
Forest Service manages 5 percent and 37
percent of habitat for MWS and WGS,
respectively. The Confederated Salish
and Kootenai Tribes manage less than 1
percent of habitat for MWS.
The MWS currently occupies 113
streams across its known range, and the
WGS currently occupies 16 streams
across its known range; however,
cumulatively, both species occupy
relatively small amounts of habitat per
stream on average, approximately 600
meters (1,968 feet) per stream. Both
species occupy only these small
amounts of area per stream because of
their low thermal tolerances and the
rapid warming of meltwater streams
downstream of the meltwater sources,
from full sun exposure in alpine
environments. Further, both species
inhabit the most upstream reaches of
their meltwater habitats and cannot
disperse further upstream if water
temperatures warm beyond their
thermal tolerances. This narrow
distribution within streams and
inability to disperse upstream increases
the risk of harm due to stochastic
events, such as drought or annual
weather fluctuations. Thus, the current
overall resiliency of the meltwater
habitat and sources for both species is
low.
The primary threat to both stonefly
species and their habitat is habitat
degradation and fragmentation due to
climate change. Both stonefly species
are intimately tied to cold meltwater
aquatic habitat, the sources of which are
glaciers or snowfields. Thus, the
viability of both species is closely
linked to the persistence of these
glaciers and snowfields and their ability
to continue to provide meltwater habitat
in a warming climate. These meltwater
sources vary in size, but most are
predicted to completely melt by 2030.
Warming air temperatures have already
