Abstract:

In this notice the Service presents an updated compilation of vascular 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 notices of review primarily involve: (1) The addition of taxa: (2) changes in category for some candidates: (3) the omission of taxa that have been listed under the Act: (4) the deletion of taxa identified as noncandidates in previous notices: and (5) 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 assist the Service in monitoring changes in the status of listing candidates.
