Abstract:

In this notice the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) presents an updated compilation of plant taxa native to the United States that are being reviewed for possible addition to the List of Endangered and Threatened Plants under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Such taxa are generally referred to as listing candidates. The changes in this document from previous plant notices of review primarily involve the addition of taxa, changes in category for some candidates, the removal of taxa that have been listed under the Act, the deletion of taxa identified as non-candidates in previous notices, identification of a Fish and Wildlife Service Region with lead responsibility for each taxon, a report of known trends in status for each candidate taxon, and additions and deletions in State distributions. While it is prudent to take candidate taxa into account during environmental planning, none of the substantive or procedural provisions of the Act apply to a species that is designated as a candidate for listing. Through the publication of this notice, the Service also requests any additional status information that may be available. This information will be considered in preparing listing documents and future revisions and/or supplements to the notice of review. It will also help the Service monitor changes in the status of listing candidates.
