Notice of document availability
for review and comment.

ACTION:

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) announces the
availability of a draft revised recovery
plan for the Northern Great Plains
piping plover population. This
population is federally listed as
threatened under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).
The Service solicits review and
comment from the public on this draft
revised plan.
DATES: Comments on the draft revised
recovery plan must be received on or
before May 16, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the draft revised
recovery plan are available by request
from the North Dakota Field Office, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, 3425 Miriam
Avenue, Bismarck, ND 58501; telephone
701–250–4481. Submit comments on
the draft recovery plan to the Project
Leader at this same address or to
pipingplovercomments@fws.gov. An
electronic copy of the draft recovery
plan is available at http://www.fws.gov/
endangered/species/recoveryplans.html.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Project Leader, at the above address, or
telephone 701–250–4481.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

Background
Restoring an endangered or
threatened animal or plant to the point
where it is again a secure, selfsustaining member of its ecosystem is a
primary goal of the Service’s
endangered species program. To help
guide the recovery effort, the Service
prepares recovery plans for the federally
listed species where a plan will promote
the conservation of the species.
Recovery plans describe site-specific
actions necessary for the conservation of
the species; establish objective,
measurable criteria which, when met,
would result in a determination that the
species no longer needs the protection
of the Act; and provide estimates of the
time and cost for implementing the
needed recovery measures.
The original plan for the species was
approved in 1988. This draft revised
recovery plan would replace the current
version. Section 4(f) of the Act, as
amended in 1988, requires that public
notice and opportunity for public
review and comment be provided
during recovery plan development. The
Service will consider all information
received during a public comment
period when preparing each new or
revised recovery plan for approval. The
Service and other Federal agencies also

will take these comments into
consideration in the course of
implementing approved recovery plans.
It is also our policy to request peer
review of recovery plans. We will
summarize and respond to the issues
raised by the public and peer reviewers
in an appendix to the approved recovery
plan.
The Northern Great Plains population
of the piping plover was listed as
threatened under the provision of the
Endangered Species Act on January 10,
1986 (50 FR 50726). The breeding
population of the Northern Great Plains
piping plover extends from Nebraska
north along the Missouri River through
South Dakota, North Dakota, and eastern
Montana, and on alkaline (salty) lakes
along the Missouri River Coteau (a large
plateau extending north and east of the
Missouri River) in North Dakota,
Montana, and extending into Canada.
The majority of piping plovers from
Prairie Canada winter along the south
Texas coast, while breeding piping
plovers from the United States are more
widely distributed along the Gulf Coast
from Florida to Texas, with a small
percentage of the population wintering
along the Atlantic Coast and in the
Bahamas.
Recovery of this species will require
restoration of ecosystem functions on
both the breeding and wintering
grounds so that the population can
persist into the foreseeable future
without extensive human intervention.
Since some human activities are likely
to continue to impact piping plovers
and their habitat, there will likely be
continued public outreach, education,
and partnerships for long-term
protection and management even after
recovery. Recovery actions are designed
to protect the species’ habitat and
increase the knowledge of the species’
genetics, life history, and population
dynamics; the relationship of the piping
plover to its environment; and its
responses to identified threats.
Request for Public Comments
The Service solicits public comments
on the draft revised recovery plan. All
comments received by the date specified
in DATES will be considered prior to
approval of the plan. Written comments
and materials regarding the plan should
be addressed to the Project Leader (see
ADDRESSES). Comments and materials
received will be available, by
appointment, for public inspection
during normal business hours at the
address under ADDRESSES. All public
comment information provided
voluntarily by mail or by phone
becomes part of the official public
record. If requested under the Freedom
