Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Finding on a Petition to List the San Francisco Bay-Delta Population of the Longfin Smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 12-month finding on a petition to list the San Francisco Bay-Delta population of the longfin smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys) as endangered with critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). After a thorough review of all available scientific and commercial information, we find that the San Francisco Bay-Delta population of the longfin smelt does not meet our definition of a distinct population segment (DPS), as identified in our DPS policy (61 FR 4721, February 7, 1996). As a result, listing the species as a DPS is not warranted. However, we are initiating a status assessment of the longfin smelt, and we solicit information on the status of the species range wide.
Central Utah Project Completion Act
Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the Central Utah Water Conservancy District and the Department of the Interior announce their intent to prepare an Environmental Assessment on the Wasatch County Water Efficiency Recycled Water Project. The project would make recycled water, which would be part of Central Utah Project (CUP) water, available in the facilities of the Wasatch County Water Efficiency Project (WCWEP), Bonneville Unit, CUP. It would provide an opportunity for more effective and efficient management of water, make efficient use of recycled water as an additional water supply, create opportunities to exchange water for stream and wetland benefits, and encourage the conservation and wise use of water, all of which are objectives of the Central Utah Project Completion Act.
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Recovery Plan for the Rio Grande Silvery Minnow (Hybognathus amarus)
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the availability of an amendment and supplement to our draft revised Recovery Plan (Recovery Plan) for the Rio Grande silvery minnow (Hybognathus amarus) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The species currently inhabits the Rio Grande in New Mexico and has been introduced to the Big Bend area of Texas. This amendment and supplement consist of revised draft recovery criteria and a population viability assessment (PVA, or draft Appendix H), respectively. We invite public review and comment on these documents. After review we will incorporate the documents into the Final Recovery Plan (the PVA as Appendix H).
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 5-Year Status Reviews of 13 Southeastern Plant Species

We conduct these reviews to ensure that the classification of species as threatened or endangered on the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants is accurate. A 5-year review is an assessment of the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review.
