Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Finding on a Petition To Delist the Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei
We the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announce a 12- month finding on a petition to delist the Preble's meadow jumping mouse (Preble's) (Zapus hudsonius preblei) under the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). After reviewing the best scientific and commercial information available, we find that the petitioned action is warranted and propose to delist or remove Preble's from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. We propose this action based on a review of all available data, which indicate that Preble's is not a discrete taxonomic entity, does not meet the definition of a subspecies, and was listed in error. Before this proposed action is finalized, the Service will conduct a status review and evaluate threats to the combined Z. h. campestris entity in all or a significant portion of its range. We will also analyze whether the Preble's portion of Z. h. campestris qualifies as a Distinct Population Segment in need of protection. We seek comments from the public regarding this proposal.
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 5-Year Review of Lesser Long-nosed Bat, Black-capped Vireo, Yuma Clapper Rail, Pima Pineapple Cactus, Gypsum Wild-Buckwheat, Mesa Verde Cactus, and Zuni Fleabane
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces a 5- year review of the lesser long-nosed bat (Leptonycteris curasoae yerbabuenae), the black-capped vireo (Vireo atricapilla), the Yuma clapper rail (Rallus longirostris yumanensis), Pima pineapple cactus (Coryphantha sheeri var. robustispina), gypsum wild-buckwheat (Erigonum gypsophilum), Mesa Verde cactus (Sclerocactus mesae-verde), and Zuni fleabane (Erigeron rhizomatus) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act). The purpose of reviews conducted under this section of the Act is to ensure that the classification of species as threatened or endangered on the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (50 CFR 17.12) is accurate. The 5-year review is an assessment of the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review.

To ensure that the review is comprehensive, we are soliciting information and data regarding this species.

Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 3507) and 5 CFR part 1320, Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements, the National Park Service invites public comments on a submitted request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve an extension of a currently approved collection OMB 1024-0018). Comments are invited on: (1) The need for information including whether the information has practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the reporting burden estimate; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of information collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. The primary purpose of the ICR is to nominate properties for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, the official list of the Nation's cultural resources worthy of preservation, which public law requires that the Secretary of the Interior maintain and expand. Properties are listed in the National Register upon nomination by State Historic Preservation Officers and Federal Preservation Officers. Law also requires Federal agencies to request determinations of eligibility for property under their jurisdiction affected by their programs and projects. The forms provide the historic documentation on which decisions for listing and eligibility are based.
Tribal Consultation on Proposed Self-Determination and Self-Governance Funding Agreement Language on Fiduciary Trust Records Management
This notice announces three consultation meetings that will be held to obtain oral and written comments concerning (1) a proposed policy on fiduciary trust records management for Self-Determination (Title I) and Self-Governance (Title IV) Tribes/Consortia; and (2) proposed language to be negotiated as part of the 2006 Title I and Title IV funding agreements regarding fiduciary trust records management. These meetings support the Department of the Interior's (Department's) administrative policy on tribal consultation by encouraging maximum direct participation of representatives of tribal governments, tribal organizations and other interested persons on important Departmental issues and processes. In developing the proposed policy and language, the Department had pre-scoping telephone conversations with tribal leaders and staff; held a scoping meeting as part of a 2-day conference on Indian trust records management; formed a Tribal Fiduciary Trust Records Management Workgroup; held four workgroup meetings; transmitted a tribal leader letter soliciting comments on the proposed policy language to be presented for consultation; and engaged in discussions with tribal leaders and staff at the Fall Self-Governance Conference. The proposed policy and language incorporates many valuable comments received to date. The upcoming consultation will provide another opportunity for Indian tribes and interested parties to comment on proposed federal policy and funding agreement language regarding fiduciary trust records management for Title I and Title IV Tribes/Consortia. Once final decisions are made regarding the policy and the funding agreement language, guidance will be provided to the Director, Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Director, Office of Self-Governance and Self- Determination regarding language to be negotiated as part of the 2006 Title I and Title IV funding agreements regarding fiduciary trust records management.
