The Bureau also seeks comment on a potential threshold trigger before Phase II Certifications may be submitted for validation. With relation to the Phase II incremental reduction plan, the Bureau proposes adopting an approach that parallels the Phase I process for calculating the incremental reduction of an eligible space station operator’s ARP should it fail to meet the Phase II Accelerated Relocation Deadline.

Therefore, with the publication of this document, we announce that we are initiating status reviews of these species to determine whether the petitioned actions are warranted. To ensure that the status reviews are comprehensive, we request scientific and commercial data and other information regarding the species and factors that may affect their status. Based on the status reviews, we will issue 12-month petition findings, which will address whether or not the petitioned actions are warranted, in accordance with the Act.
