Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of 5-Year Status Reviews for 81 Southeastern Species

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year status reviews under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, for 81 species (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). A 5-year status review is based on an assessment of the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review. We ask the public to submit any new information relevant to the status of any of the species listed in this notice or their habitats.

This is a factual description of what was issued or decided, not an assessment of it.
