ACTION: Notice of organizational change. SUMMARY: This notice explains the details associated with the establishment of Sector Southeastern New England. The date on which the boundaries of the areas of responsibility discussed herein shifted was February 28, 2006, the date of the official stand-up of Sector Southeastern New England. The Sector Commander has the authority, responsibility, and missions of Group Woods Hole, Captain of the Port

(COTP)and Marine Safety Office Providence in the zone identified in this notice. The Coast Guard has established continuity of operations whereby all previous practices and procedures will remain in effect until superseded by an authorized Coast Guard official or document. DATES: The effective date of the Sector stand-up was February 28, 2006. ADDRESSES: Documents associated with this notice are part of docket CGD01-06-016 and are available for inspection or copying at Commander, First Coast Guard District (dm), 8th Floor, 408 Atlantic Ave., Boston, MA 02110, between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion of Notice This notice confirms the stand-up of Sector Southeastern New England. This is the final Sector being established in the First Coast Guard District. Information concerning the stand-up of other Sectors within the First Coast Guard District was published via a similar Notice of Organizational Change in the **Federal Register** on June 27, 2005 (70 FR 36942). The boundaries of the areas of responsibility for Sector Southeastern New England discussed herein changed on the date of stand-up, February 28, 2006. The restructuring described in this notice is internal to the Coast Guard. The purpose of this organizational change is to strengthen unity of command in our port, waterway and coastal areas of operation. Sector Southeastern New England will contain a single integrated command center, which provides a common operating picture. The Sector is composed of three departments, namely: The Response Department, the Prevention Department, and the Logistics Department. The Search and Rescue

(SAR)boundary formally associated with Group Woods Hole has been changed to align with the Marine Inspection and COTP zone formerly associated with Marine Safety Office Providence, as described in this notice. The new Sector's area of responsibility for SAR will be maintained in accordance with the District SAR Plan. The Sector Commander is vested with all the rights, responsibilities, duties, and authority of a Group Commander and a Commanding Officer, Marine Safety Office, as provided for in Coast Guard regulations, and is the successor in command to the Commanding Officer of Marine Safety Office Providence and the Commander of Group Woods Hole. The Sector Southeastern New England Commander is designated:

(a)Captain of the Port (COTP);

(b)Federal Maritime Security Coordinator (FMSC);

(c)Federal On-Scene Coordinator

(FOSC)consistent with the National Contingency Plan;

(d)Officer In Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI); and

(e)Search and Rescue Mission Coordinator (SMC). The First District Commander may also designate the Sector Commander as mission coordinator for search and rescue and law enforcement operations beyond the exclusive economic zone. The Deputy Sector Commander has been designated alternate COTP, FMSC, FOSC, SMC, and acting OCMI. A separate continuity of operations order has been issued providing that all previous Marine Safety Office and Group practices and procedures will remain in effect until superseded by the Sector Commander. The continuity of operations order addresses existing COTP regulations, orders, directives and policies. Sector Southeastern New England (Sector SENE) is located at Little Harbor Rd., Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Sector SENE is responsible for all Coast Guard missions in the following Marine Inspection and Captain of the Port Zone. The zone starts on the Massachusetts coast at Manomet Point at 41°55′ N latitude, 70°33′ W longitude and proceeds northeast to 42°08′ N latitude 70°15′ W longitude; thence east along 42°08′ N latitude to the outermost extent of the EEZ; thence southerly along the outermost extent of the EEZ to a line bearing 132° T from Watch Hill Light, Rhode Island; thence northwest along a line bearing 132° T from Watch Hill Light, Rhode Island, to Watch Hill Light; thence northeast to 41°21′ N latitude, 71°48.5′ W longitude at Westerly, Rhode Island; thence north to 41°25′ N latitude, 71°48′ W longitude; thence north along the Connecticut-Rhode Island boundary, including the waters of Beach Pond, to the Massachusetts boundary; thence east along the Massachusetts-Rhode Island boundary to 42°01.5′ N latitude, 71°28.0′ W longitude; thence east to 42°04′ N latitude, 71°06′ W longitude; thence southeasterly to the point of origin. All existing missions and functions performed by MSO Providence, and Group Woods Hole have been realigned under this new organizational structure as of February 28, 2006, and MSO Providence, and Group Woods Hole no longer exist as separate organizational entities.

ACTION: Notice of review. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, announce the initiation of a 5-year review of 56 species under section 4(c)(2)(B) of the Endangered Species Act (Act). The purpose of a 5-year review is to ensure that the classification of a species as threatened or endangered on the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants is accurate and based on the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review. We are requesting submission of any such information that has become available since the original listing of each of these 56 species. Based on the results of these 5-year reviews, we will make the requisite findings under section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act. DATES: We must receive your information no later than May 22, 2006. However, we will continue to accept new information about any listed species at any time. ADDRESSES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for instructions on how to submit information and review the information that we receive on these species. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For species-specific information, contact the appropriate individual in Table 3 under “Public Solicitation of New Information.” SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Why Is a 5-Year Review Conducted? Under the Endangered Species Act

(Act)(16 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ), we maintain a List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants at 50 CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12 (for plants). Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act requires that we conduct a review of listed species at least once every 5 years. Then, on the basis of such reviews under section 4(c)(2)(B), we determine whether or not any species should be removed from the List (delisted), or reclassified from endangered to threatened or from threatened to endangered. Delisting a species must be supported by the best scientific and commercial data available and only considered if such data substantiates that the species is neither endangered nor threatened for one or more of the following reasons:

(1)The species is considered extinct;

(2)the species is considered to be recovered; and/or

(3)the original data available when the species was listed, or the interpretation of such data, were in error. Any change in Federal classification would require a separate rulemaking process. The regulations in 50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish a notice in the **Federal Register** announcing those species currently under active review. This notice announces our active review of the 56 species listed in Table 1.

Habitat conditions including, but not limited to, amount, distribution, and suitability; C. Conservation measures that have been implemented that benefit the species; D. Threat status and trends (see five factors under heading “How Do We Determine Whether a Species is Endangered or Threatened?”); 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. How Do We Determine Whether a Species Is Endangered or Threatened? Section 4(a)(1) of the Act requires that we determine whether a species is endangered or threatened based on one or more of the five following factors: A. The present or threatened destruction, modification, or curtailment of its habitat or range; B. Overutilization for commercial, recreational, scientific, or educational purposes; C. Disease or predation; D. The inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; or E. Other natural or manmade factors affecting its continued existence. Our assessment of these factors is required, under section 4(b)(1) of the Act, to be based solely on the best scientific and commercial data available. What Could Happen as a Result of This Review? If we find information concerning the 56 species listed in Table 1 indicating that a change in classification may be warranted, we may propose a new rule that could do one of the following:

(a)Reclassify the species from threatened to endangered;

(b)reclassify the species from endangered to threatened; or

(c)remove the species from the List. If we find that a change in classification is not warranted, the species will remain on the List under its current status. Public Solicitation of New Information To ensure that these 5-year reviews are complete and based on the best available scientific and commercial information, we solicit new information from the public, concerned governmental agencies, Tribes, the scientific community, environmental entities, industry, and any other interested parties concerning the status of the species. If you wish to provide information for any species included in these 5-year reviews, submit your comments and materials to the Field Supervisors at the appropriate Fish and Wildlife Office as presented in Table 2. Our practice is to make comments, including names and home addresses of respondents, available for public review during regular business hours. Respondents may request that we withhold a respondent's identity, as allowable by law. If you wish us to withhold your name or address, you must state this request prominently at the beginning of your comment. We will not consider anonymous comments, however. To the extent consistent with applicable law, we will make all submissions from organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, available for public inspection in their entirety. Comments and materials received will be available for public inspection, by appointment, during normal business hours at the offices where the comments are submitted.

E6-4120 Filed 3-21-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-55-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Land Management [(WY-060-5410-EQ), WYW3397 & WYW83394] Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment and Notice of Public Hearing for an Alluvial Valley Floor Coal Lease Exchange in Campbell County, WY AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior. ACTION: Notice of availability, Notice of public hearing. SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management

(BLM)received an application from Powder River Coal Company, Inc.,

(PRCC)to exchange portions of two Federal coal leases affecting an alluvial valley floor

(AVF)designated as significant to farming. The affected leases are located at the Caballo Mine in Campbell County, Wyoming. The AVF lands will be exchanged for new coal leases adjacent to one or more existing coal leases. This tract, which was applied for as an AVF exchange under the provisions of 43 CFR 3436, is called the Gold Mine Draw Exchange

(GMDX)Tract. Consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA)regulations, BLM must prepare an environmental analysis prior to consummating an exchange. BLM is announcing that the Draft Environmental Analysis

(EA)is available for public review and that a public hearing will be held to elicit comments from any affected parties concerning the EA or the exchange in general. DATES: The draft EA will be available for review and comment for 30 calendar days from the date this notice is published in the **Federal Register.** On April 11, 2006, the BLM will host a public hearing at 7 p.m. at the Clarion Hotel and Convention Center, 2009 South Douglas Highway, Gillette, Wyoming. At the public hearing, the public is invited to submit comments and resource information, and identify issues or concerns to be considered in the exchange process. Announcements will be made through local news media and the Casper Field Office's Web site, which is: *http://www.wy.blm.gov/cfo.* ADDRESSES: Please submit written comments or concerns to the BLM Casper Field Office, Attn: Steven Wright, 2987 Prospector Drive, Casper, Wyoming 82604. Written comments or resource information may also be hand-delivered to the BLM Casper Field Office or sent by facsimile to the attention of Steven Wright at 307-261-7587. Comments may be sent electronically to *casper_wymail@blm.gov;* please put GMDX Tract/Steven Wright in the subject line. Members of the public may examine documents pertinent to this proposal by visiting the Casper Field Office during its business hours (7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), Monday through Friday, except holidays. Your response is important and will be considered in the EA process. If you do respond, we will keep you informed of the availability of environmental documents that address impacts that might occur from this proposal. Please note that comments and information submitted regarding this project including names, electronic mail addresses, and street addresses of the respondents will be available for public review and disclosure at the Casper Field Office. Individuals may request confidentiality. If you wish to withhold your name, electronic mail address, or street address from public review or from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, you must state this prominently at the beginning of your written comment. Such requests will be honored to the extent allowed by law. All submissions from organizations or businesses, or from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, will be made available for public inspection in their entirety. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven Wright or Mike Karbs, BLM Casper Field Office, 2987 Prospector Drive, Casper, Wyoming 82604. Mr. Wright or Mr. Karbs may also be reached by telephone at 307-261-7600. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An application to exchange Federal coal leases adjacent to the Caballo Mine was filed on July, 24, 2003, by PRCC. The Powder River Regional Coal Team reviewed this lease exchange proposal at a public meeting held on April 27, 2005, in Gillette, Wyoming, and concurred with the further processing of the application. As currently filed, the application includes approximately 67 million tons of in-place Federal coal underlying the following lands in Campbell County, Wyoming: T. 48 N., R. 70 W., 6th P.M., Wyoming Sec. 18: Lots 15-18; T. 48 N., R. 71 W., 6th P.M., Wyoming Sec. 11: Lot 16 (SE 1/4 ); Sec. 12: Lots 13, 14, 15 (W 1/2 , SE 1/4 ); Sec. 13: Lots 1 (SW 1/2 ), 2-8, 11-14; Sec. 14: Lots 1, 8 (E 1/2 ); Sec. 24: Lots 1-3. Containing 921.6 acres more or less. The surface estate overlying the Federal coal is privately owned. If the GMDX Tract is exchanged for a new Federal coal lease, the new lease must be incorporated into the existing mining and reclamation plan for the adjacent mine and the Secretary of the Interior must approve the revised Mineral Leasing Act

(MLA)mining plan before the Federal coal in the tract can be mined. The Office of Surface Mining is the Federal agency that would be responsible for recommending approval, approval with conditions, or disapproval of the revised MLA mining plan to the office of the Secretary of the Interior. Robert A. Bennett, State Director. [FR Doc. 06-2618 Filed 3-21-06; 8:45 am]
