Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of 5-
Year Status Reviews of 50 Species in California, Nevada, and the 
Klamath Basin of Oregon

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 of 50 species in California, Nevada, 
and the Klamath Basin of Oregon under the Endangered Species Act of 
1973, as amended (Act). A 5-year 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 August 17, 2018. However, 
we will continue to accept new information about any species at any 
time.

ADDRESSES: For how and where to send information, see Request for New 
Information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For whom to contact for species-
specific information, see Request for New Information. Individuals who 
are hearing impaired or speech impaired may call the Federal Relay 
Service at 800-877-8337 for TTY assistance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Why do we conduct 5-year reviews?

    Under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act; 16 
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we maintain lists of endangered and threatened 
wildlife and plant species (referred to as the List) in the Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.11 (for wildlife) and 17.12 (for 
plants). Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act requires us to review each 
listed species' status at least once every 5 years. For additional 
information about 5-year reviews, refer to our factsheet at http://www.fws.gov/endangered/what-we-do/recovery-overview.html.

What information do we consider in our 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 have 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 to 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 the 
species.

Which species are under review?

    This notice announces our active review of the species listed in

What is a Distinct Population Segment?

    Yellow-billed cuckoo, mountain yellow-legged frog, and western 
snowy plover were each listed as a Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of 
a vertebrate taxon. A DPS is defined in the February 7, 1996, Policy 
Regarding the Recognition of Distinct Vertebrate Population Segments 
(61 FR 4722). For a population to be listed under the Act as a distinct 
vertebrate population segment, three elements are considered: (1) The 
discreteness of the population segment in relation to the remainder of 
the species to which it belongs; (2) the significance of the population 
segment to the species to which it belongs; and (3) the population 
segment's conservation status in relation to the Act's standards for 
listing (i.e., is the population segment endangered or threatened?). 
Distinct population segments of vertebrate species, as well as 
subspecies of all listed species, may be proposed for separate 
reclassification or for removal from the list. We will apply the DPS 
policy during the 5-year review.
