BILLING CODE 4210-67-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service [FWS-R1-ES-2015-N225; FXES11130100000C4-167-FF01E00000] Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of 5-Year Status Reviews of 76 Species in Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Idaho AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice of initiation of reviews; request for information. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are initiating 5-year status reviews for 76 species in Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Idaho under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).
A 5-year status review is based on the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review; therefore, we are requesting submission of any new information on these species that has become available since the last review. DATES: To ensure consideration in our reviews, we are requesting submission of new information no later than April 12, 2016. However, we will continue to accept new information about any listed species at any time. ADDRESSES: For the 67 species in Hawaii (see table below), submit information via U.S. mail to:
Deputy Field Supervisor—Programmatic; Attention: 5-Year Review; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office; 300 Ala Moana Blvd., Room 3-122, Box 50088; Honolulu, HI 96850. For the Warner sucker, Willamette daisy, Kincaid's lupine, and rough popcornflower, submit information via U.S. mail to: Field Supervisor; Attention: 5-Year Review; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Oregon Fish and Wildlife Office; 2600 SE 98th Ave., Suite 100; Portland, OR 97266.
For the northern Idaho ground squirrel, Bruneau Hot springsnail, Bliss Rapids, snail, Banbury Springs limpet, and Spaldings catchfly, submit information via U.S. mail to: Field Supervisor; Attention: 5-Year Review; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Idaho Fish and Wildlife Office; 1387 S. Vinnell Way, Suite 368; Boise, ID 83709.

Jeff Dillon, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Oregon Fish and Wildlife Office, 503-231-6179 (for Warner sucker, Willamette daisy, Kincaid's lupine, and rough popcornflower); or Kim Garner, Idaho Fish and Wildlife Office, 208-378-5243 (for northern Idaho ground squirrel, Bruneau Hot springsnail, Bliss Rapids, snail, Banbury Springs limpet, and Spaldings catchfly). Individuals who are hearing impaired or speech impaired may call the Federal Relay Service at 800-877-8339 for TTY assistance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Why do we conduct 5-year reviews? Under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ), we maintain Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (which we collectively refer to as the List) in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR)at 50 CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12 (for plants). Section 4(c)(2) of the Act requires us to review each listed species' status at least once every 5 years. For additional information about 5-year reviews, go to *http://www.fws.gov/endangered/what-we-do/recovery-overview.html,* scroll down to “Learn More about 5-Year Reviews,” and click on our factsheet. What information do we consider in the review? A 5-year review considers all new information available at the time of the review. In conducting these reviews, we consider the best scientific and commercial data that has become available since the listing determination or most recent status review, such as:
(A)Species biology, including but not limited to population trends, distribution, abundance, demographics, and genetics;
(B)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 in relation to the five listing factors (as defined in section 4(a)(1) of the Act); 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. Any new information will be considered during the 5-year review and will also be useful in evaluating the ongoing recovery programs for these species. What Species Are Under Review?
