Published 30-day Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 142 / Wednesday, July 28, 2021 / Notices

We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), announce our
intention to conduct a 5-year status
review under the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended, for the Eskimo
curlew. A 5-year status review is based
on the best scientific and commercial
data available at the time of the review.
We are requesting submission of any
new information that has become
available since the last review of the
species in 2016.

SUMMARY:

To ensure consideration, we
must receive your comments and
information by September 27, 2021.
However, we will accept information
about the species at any time.

DATES:

Please submit your
information by one of the following
methods:
• Email: Daniel_Rizzolo@fws.gov; or
• U.S. mail: U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Attention: Dan Rizzolo,
Fisheries and Ecological Services, 101
12th Avenue, Fairbanks, Alaska 99701.

information, see Request for Information
in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

We are
initiating a 5-year status review under
the ESA for the Eskimo curlew
(Numenius borealis). A 5-year status
review is based on the best scientific
and commercial data available at the
time of the review; therefore, we are
requesting submission of any new
information on this species that has
become available since the last 5-year
review was conducted in 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Why do we conduct 5-year reviews?
Under the ESA, we maintain Lists of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants (which we collectively refer
to as the List) in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.11 (for
animals) and 17.12 (for plants). Section
4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA requires us to
review each listed species’ status at least
once every 5 years. Further, our
regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 require
that we publish a notice in the Federal
Register announcing those species
under active review. For additional
information about 5-year reviews, go to
http://www.fws.gov/endangered/whatwe-do/recovery-overview.html.

What information do we consider in
our reviews?
In conducting these reviews, we
consider the best scientific and
commercial data that have become
available since the listing determination
or most recent status review, such as:
(1) The biology of the species,
including but not limited to population
trends, distribution, abundance,
demographics, and genetics;
(2) Habitat conditions, including but
not limited to amount, distribution, and
suitability;
(3) Conservation measures that have
been implemented that benefit the
species;
(4) Threat status and trends in relation
to the five listing factors (as defined in
section 4(a)(1) of the ESA); and
(5) Other new information, data, or
corrections, including but not limited to
taxonomic or nomenclatural changes,
identification of erroneous information
contained in the List, and improved
analytical methods.
Any new information will be
considered during the 5-year review and
will also be useful in evaluating the
ongoing recovery programs for the
species.
In the case of the Eskimo curlew, we
concluded in our 2016 5-year review
that the probability that the species
remained extant was extremely low
based on the scarcity of recent sightings
and the length of time that has passed
since the last sighting that was
confirmed with physical evidence. We
will therefore focus this 5-year review
upon reported sightings or other recent
information on the species’ possible
existence. Thus, we ask, in particular,
for information on recent sightings,
including indication as to whether
corroborating evidence (such as
photographs) is available.

Request for Information

complete and based on the best
available scientific and commercial
information, we request new
information from all sources. See What
Information Do We Consider in Our
Review? for specific criteria. If you

Abstract: The Secretary of the Interior

compile an accurate and complete
probate file. This file will be forwarded
to the Office of Hearing and Appeals

decedent’s estate so that OHA can
determine the heirs of the decedent and
order distribution of the trust assets in
the decedent’s estate.
