{"abstract":"In this candidate notification of review (CNOR), we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), present an updated list of plant and animal species that we regard as candidates for or have proposed for addition to the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. This document also includes our findings on resubmitted petitions and describes our progress in revising the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (Lists) during the period October 1, 2020, through September 30, 2021. Combined with other decisions for individual species that were published separately from this CNOR in the past year, the current number of species that are candidates for listing is 27 (as of September 30, 2021). Identification of candidate species can assist environmental planning efforts by providing advance notice of potential listings, and by allowing landowners, resource managers, States, Tribes, range countries, and other stakeholders to take actions to alleviate threats and thereby possibly remove the need to list species as endangered or threatened. Even if we subsequently list a candidate species, the early notice provided here could result in more options for species management and recovery by prompting earlier candidate conservation measures to alleviate threats to the species.","action":"Notification of review.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","id":197,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/fish-and-wildlife-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/197","parent_id":253,"slug":"fish-and-wildlife-service"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2022/05/03/2022-09376.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":17,"title":50}],"citation":"87 FR 26152","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"We will accept information on any of the species in this document at any time.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FWS-HQ-ES-2021-0156","FF09E21000 FXES1111090FEDR223"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"20210701_FY2021 CNOR_SAF_Sira curassow","document_id":"FWS-HQ-ES-2021-0156-0028"},{"title":"20210701_FY2021 CNOR_SAF_Okinawa woodpecker","document_id":"FWS-HQ-ES-2021-0156-0027"},{"title":"20210701_FY2021 CNOR_SAF_Jamaican kite swallowtail","document_id":"FWS-HQ-ES-2021-0156-0026"},{"title":"20210701_FY2021 CNOR_SAF_Kaiser-i-Hind_swallowtail","document_id":"FWS-HQ-ES-2021-0156-0025"},{"title":"20210629_FY2021 CNOR_SAF_Delta smelt_CNOR.pdf","document_id":"FWS-HQ-ES-2021-0156-0024"},{"title":"20210701_FY2021 CNOR_SAF_Takahe","document_id":"FWS-HQ-ES-2021-0156-0022"},{"title":"20210811_FY 2021 CNOR_SAF_NSO.pdf","document_id":"FWS-HQ-ES-2021-0156-0021"},{"title":"20211216_FY2021 CNOR_SAF_longfin smelt.pdf","document_id":"FWS-HQ-ES-2021-0156-0020"},{"title":"20210701_FY2021 CNOR_SAF_Lord Howe Island pied currawong","document_id":"FWS-HQ-ES-2021-0156-0019"},{"title":"20210701_FY2021 CNOR_SAF_Helmeted Woodpecker","document_id":"FWS-HQ-ES-2021-0156-0018"}],"agency_name":"FWS","documents":[{"comment_count":2,"comment_start_date":"2022-05-03","updated_at":"2025-10-31T09:55:44.938-04:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FWS-HQ-ES-2021-0156-0001","allow_late_comments":false,"id":"FWS-HQ-ES-2021-0156-0001","comment_end_date":null,"regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":27,"id":"FWS-HQ-ES-2021-0156","title":"Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants;
