STATUS OF THE SPECIES Sample Clauses

STATUS OF THE SPECIES. On February 3, 2004, the USFWS received a petition dated January 30, 2004, from Red Willow Research, Inc., and 25 other concerned parties (the Prairie Falcon Audubon Society Chapter Board, Western Watersheds Project, Utah Environmental Congress, Sawtooth Group of the Sierra Club, and 21 private citizens) requesting that USFWS emergency list Goose Creek milkvetch as threatened or endangered, and designate critical habitat concurrently with the listing (Red Willow Research Inc. 2004). USFWS reviewed the petition and determined that emergency listing was not warranted, but that if conditions change USFWS would re-evaluate the need for emergency listing. USFWS informed the petitioners that in light of resource constraints, USFWS anticipated making an initial finding in Fiscal Year 2005 as to whether the petition contained substantial information indicating that the action may be warranted. On August 16, 2007, USFWS published a notice of 90-day finding (72 FR 46023) that the petition presented substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that listing Goose Creek milkvetch may be warranted, and that we were initiating a status review of the species (72 FR 46023). The USFWS’s 12-month finding (74 FR 46521, September 10, 2009), concluded that listing Goose Creek milkvetch under the ESA is warranted, but precluded by higher priority actions. At that time, USFWS assigned a listing priority number (LPN) of 5 to the species because the threats affecting the species have a high magnitude, but are non-imminent. In 2012, during the Candidate Notice of Review, the USFWS assigned a LPN of 2 to Goose Creek milkvetch because the threats affecting the species were high in magnitude and imminent. The increase in listing priority to LPN 2 was based largely on the imminence of another wildfire within Goose Creek milkvetch habitat (see Threats and their Management, Wildfire, below) and the lack of existing regulatory mechanisms throughout the species’ range to protect the species during and after another wildfire from firefighting and emergency stabilization and restoration activities (see Threats and their Management, Wildfire , and Post-Wildfire Emergency Stabilization and Restoration, below). Additional legacy effects from post-wildfire rehabilitation practices (disking and seeding), competition from invasive non-native plant species introduced via soil stabilization mixtures, habitat alteration from the 2007 wildfires, and livestock trailing in the fragile so...

STATUS OF THE SPECIES. The least chub was recognized as a threatened species by the Endangered Species Committee of the American Fisheries Society in 1972, and again in 1989 (Xxxxxx 1972, p. 250; Xxxxxxxx et al. 1989, pp. 2, 5). In 1980, USFWS reviewed the species’ status and determined that there was insufficient data to warrant its listing as an endangered or threatened species. On December 30, 1982, USFWS classified the least chub as a Category 2 Candidate Species (47 FR 58454). In 1989, USFWS again conducted a status review, and reclassified least chub as a Category 1 Candidate Species (54 FR 554). On September 29, 1995, USFWS published a proposed rule to list the least chub as endangered with critical habitat (60 FR 50518). A listing moratorium, imposed by Congress in 1995, suspended all listing activities and further action on the proposal was postponed. During the moratorium, the 1998 LCCAS was written and the signatories formed the Least Chub Conservation Team (Xxxxxxx et al. 1998, entire). As a result of conservation actions and commitments made by signatories to the 1998 LCCAS (Xxxxxxx et al. 1998, p. 10), measures to protect the least chub were being addressed and implemented. Consequently, USFWS withdrew the listing proposal on July 29, 1999 (64 FR 41061). On June 25, 2007, USFWS received a petition from Center for Biological Diversity, Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation, Great Basin Chapter of Trout Unlimited, and Utah Chapter of the Sierra Club requesting that the least chub be listed as threatened under the Act and critical habitat be designated. The 90-day finding (73 FR 61007, October 15, 2008) concluded the petition presented substantial information in support of listing. The subsequent 12-month finding (75 FR 35398, June 22, 2010) identified least chub as a species for which listing as endangered or threatened was warranted (with a listing priority number of 7) but was precluded due to higher priority listing decisions. Following the finding, the annual Candidate Notice of Reviews (CNOR) were completed in 2010 (75 FR 69222, November 10, 2010), 2011 (76 FR 66370, October 26, 2011), 2012 (77 FR 69993, November 21, 2012) and 2013 (77 FR 70103, November 22, 2013), all of which maintained the species as a candidate with a listing priority number of 7. As a result of the Service’s multidistrict litigation settlement with petitioners, a proposed listing rule or a withdrawal of the 12-month finding is required by summer 2014.
