Abstract:

In this notice the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) presents an updated list of plant and animal taxa native to the United States that are regarded as candidates for possible addition to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Identification of candidate species can assist environmental planning efforts by providing advance notice of potential listings, allowing resource managers to alleviate threats and thereby possibly remove the need to list species as endangered or threatened. Even if a candidate species is subsequently listed, the early notice provided here could result in fewer restrictions on activities by prompting candidate conservation measures to alleviate threats to the species. Through the publication of this notice, the Service requests additional status information that may be available for the identified candidate species and information indicating that species not presently regarded as candidates should be included in future updates of this list. This information will be considered in preparing listing documents and future revisions or supplements to the notice of review. It will also help the Service monitor changes in the status of candidate species and in candidate conservation activities.
