SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces our active review of 
the Smoothback angelshark (Squatina oculata), currently listed as 
endangered (81 FR 50394; August 1, 2016). Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA 
requires that the Secretary, through NMFS, conduct a review of listed 
species at least once every 5 years. The species was last reviewed in 
2016 (80 FR 40969; July 14, 2015). The regulations in 50 CFR 424.21 
require that we publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing 
species currently under active review. Based on such reviews, we 
determine whether a listed species should be removed from the list 
(i.e., delisted), or be changed in status from endangered to threatened 
or from threatened to endangered (16 U.S.C. 1533(c)(2)(B)). As 
described by the regulations in 50 CFR 424.11(e), the Secretary shall 
delist a species if the Secretary determines, based on consideration of 
the factors and standards set forth in 50 CFR 424.11(c), that the best 
scientific and commercial data available substantiate that that, after 
conducting a status review based on the best scientific and commercial 
data available: (1) the species is extinct; (2) the species has 
recovered to the point at which it no longer meets the definition of an 
endangered species or a threatened species; or (3) new information that 
has become available since the original listing decision shows that the 
listed entity does not meet the definition of an endangered species or 
a threatened species; or (4) new information that has become available 
since the original listing decision shows the listed entity does not 
meet the definition of a species. Any change in Federal status would 
require a separate rulemaking process.

the NMFS website at: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/species/smoothback-angelshark/overview.

Public Solicitation of New Relevant Information

    To ensure that the 5-year review is complete and based on the best 
scientific and commercial data available, we are soliciting new 
information from the public, governmental agencies, Tribes, the 
scientific community, industry, environmental entities, and any other

Categories of requested information include: (1) species biology 
including, but not limited to, population trends, distribution, 
abundance, demographics, and genetics; (2) habitat conditions 
including, but not limited to, amount, distribution, suitability, and 
important features for conservation; (3) degree, nature, and trends of 
threats to the species and its habitats; (4) conservation measures that 
have been implemented that benefit the species, including monitoring 
data demonstrating effectiveness of such measures; and (5) other new 
information, data, or corrections including, but not limited to, 
taxonomic or nomenclatural changes and improved analytical methods for 
evaluating extinction risk.
    If you wish to provide information for the review, you may submit 
your information and materials electronically (see ADDRESSES section).
