Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Notice of Reclassification of Nine Candidate Taxa

Samenvatting

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), provide explanation for a change in the status of one animal and eight plant taxa that were under review for possible addition to the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (Lists) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We are removing these nine species from candidate status at this time. Based on information gathered on all of these species, continuation of candidate status is no longer warranted.
