Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of 5-Year Reviews of Two Plant Species and Two Wildlife Species in the Midwest Region

Streszczenie

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), initiate 5- year reviews of Houghton goldenrod (Solidago houghtonii), dwarf lake iris (Iris lacustris), scaleshell mussel (Leptodea leptodon), and Niangua darter (Etheostoma nianguae) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We request any new information on these species that may have a bearing on their classification as endangered or threatened. Based on the results of these reviews, we will make a finding on whether these species are properly classified under the Act.
