Effective beginning on the date on which the Director determines that the population goal for the Mexican gray wolf referred to in section 3(b)(4) has been reached— the Mexican gray wolf shall no longer be included on any list of endangered species, threatened species, or experimental populations under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ( 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.); and management of the Mexican gray wolf shall be assumed by each State in which the Mexican gray wolf is present. The determination by the Director to remove the Mexican gray wolf from any list of endangered species, threatened species, or experimental populations under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ( 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), shall not be subject to judicial review.
Before the date on which the Director delists the Mexican gray wolf under subsection (a), subject to sections 3 and 4, each State in which the Mexican gray wolf is present shall determine a number of Mexican gray wolves below which, or other specific criteria by which, the Director may make a determination to include the Mexican gray wolf on a list of endangered species, threatened species, or experimental populations under section 4 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ( 16 U.S.C. 1533 ).
The Director shall carry out monitoring activities under section 4(g) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ( 16 U.S.C. 1533(g) ) to determine the number of Mexican gray wolves in the States of Arizona and New Mexico. Subject to subsection
(c)and paragraph (2), after the date on which the Director has delisted the Mexican gray wolf under subsection (a), the Director shall not make any determination that results in the inclusion of the Mexican gray wolf on any list of endangered species, threatened species, or experimental populations under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ( 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Notwithstanding paragraph
(1)and subject to subsection (c), the Director may include the Mexican gray wolf on a list of endangered species, threatened species, or experimental populations under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ( 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), if the population numbers, impacts, and range described in the recovery plan described in section 3(a) are not maintained. After the date on which the Director publishes the recovery plan described in section 3(a), the Director shall not publish any recovery plan for the Mexican gray wolf, unless the Director makes a determination described in subsection
(c)or (e)(2).
