ACTION: Notice of initiation of reviews; request for information. AGENCY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year status reviews of 47 species in California, Nevada, and Oregon under the Endangered Species Act. A 5-year 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 these species that has become available since the last reviews. DATES: To ensure consideration in our reviews, we are requesting submission of new information no later than October 16, 2023. However, we will continue to accept new information about any species at any time. ADDRESSES: For how and where to send information and comments, see Request for New Information. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general information, contact Ernest Chen, by email at ernest_chen@fws.gov or via phone at 530–320–1300. For whom to contact for species-specific information, see Request for New Information. Individuals in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. Individuals outside the United States should use the relay services offered within their country to make international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Why Do We Conduct 5-Year Reviews? Under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we maintain lists of endangered and threatened wildlife and plant species (referred to as the List) in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.11 (for wildlife) and 17.12 (for plants). Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act requires us to review each listed species’ status at least once every 5 years. For additional information about 5-year reviews, go to https:// www.fws.gov/project/five-year-statusreviews. E:\FR\FM\17AUN1.SGM 17AUN1 56043 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 158 / Thursday, August 17, 2023 / Notices What Information Do We Consider in Our Review? A 5-year review considers all new information available at the time of the 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: A. Species biology, including but not limited to population trends, distribution, abundance, demographics, and genetics; B. Habitat conditions, including but not limited to amount, distribution, and suitability; C. Conservation measures that have been implemented to benefit the species; D. Threat status and trends in relation to the five listing factors (as defined in section 4(a)(1) of the Act); and E. 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. Which Species Are Under Review?

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 of 47 species in California, Nevada, and Oregon under 
the Endangered Species Act. A 5-year 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 these 
species that has become available since the last reviews.

DATES: To ensure consideration in our reviews, we are requesting 
submission of new information no later than October 16, 2023. However, 
we will continue to accept new information about any species at any 
time.

ADDRESSES: For how and where to send information and comments, see 
Request for New Information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general information, contact 
Ernest Chen, by email at [email protected] or via phone at 530-320-
1300. For whom to contact for species-specific information, see Request 
for New Information. Individuals in the United States who are deaf, 
deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 
(TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. 
Individuals outside the United States should use the relay services 
offered within their country to make international calls to the point-
of-contact in the United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Why Do We Conduct 5-Year Reviews?

    Under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act; 16 
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we maintain lists of endangered and threatened 
wildlife and plant species (referred to as the List) in the Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.11 (for wildlife) and 17.12 (for 
plants). Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act requires us to review each 
listed species' status at least once every 5 years. For additional 
information about 5-year reviews, go to https://www.fws.gov/project/five-year-status-reviews.

What Information Do We Consider in Our Review?

    A 5-year review considers all new information available at the time 
of the 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:
    A. Species biology, including but not limited to population trends, 
distribution, abundance, demographics, and genetics;
    B. Habitat conditions, including but not limited to amount, 
distribution, and suitability;
    C. Conservation measures that have been implemented to benefit the 
species;
    D. Threat status and trends in relation to the five listing factors 
(as defined in section 4(a)(1) of the Act); and
    E. 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.
