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

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.
