SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Background
On September 30, 2020, we published
a proposed rule (85 FR 61684) to
reclassify beach layia from endangered
to threatened (i.e., ‘‘downlist’’ the
species) under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.). The proposed rule established
a 60-day public comment period, ending
November 30, 2020. We received a
request for a public hearing. Therefore,
we are reopening the comment period
and announcing a public informational
meeting and a public hearing to allow
the public an additional opportunity to
provide comments on the proposed rule.
For a description of previous Federal
actions concerning beach layia and
information on the types of comments
that would be helpful to us in
promulgating this rulemaking action,
please refer to the September 30, 2020,
proposed rule (85 FR 61684).
Public Hearing
We have scheduled a public
informational meeting and public
hearing on our September 30, 2020,
proposed rule to reclassify beach layia
(85 FR 61684). We will hold the public
informational meeting and public
hearing on the date and at the times
listed above under Public informational
meeting and public hearing in
DATES
.
We are holding the public informational
meeting and public hearing via the
Zoom online video platform and via
teleconference so that participants can
attend remotely. For security purposes,
registration is required. To listen and
view the meeting and hearing via Zoom,
listen to the meeting and hearing by
telephone, or provide oral public
comments at the public hearing by
Zoom or telephone, you must register.
For information on how to register, or if
you encounter problems joining Zoom
the day of the meeting, visit https://
www.fws.gov/arcata/es/plants/
beachLayia/layia.html. Registrants will
receive the Zoom link and the telephone
number for the public informational
meeting and public hearing. If
applicable, interested members of the
public not familiar with the Zoom
platform should view the Zoom video
tutorials (https://support.zoom.us/hc/
en-us/articles/206618765-Zoom-video-
tutorials) prior to the public
informational meeting and public
hearing.
The public hearing will provide
interested parties an opportunity to
present verbal testimony (formal, oral
comments) regarding the September 30,
2020, proposed rule to reclassify beach
layia (85 FR 61684). While the public
informational meeting will be an
opportunity for dialogue with the
Service, the public hearing is not. The
purpose of the public hearing is to
provide a forum for accepting formal
verbal testimony, which will then
become part of the record for the
proposed rule. In the event there is a
large attendance, the time allotted for
verbal testimony may be limited.
Therefore, anyone wishing to provide
verbal testimony at the public hearing is
encouraged to provide a prepared
written copy of their statement to us
through the Federal eRulemaking Portal,
or U.S. mail (see
ADDRESSES
, above).
There are no limits on the length of
written comments submitted to us.
Anyone wishing to provide verbal
testimony at the public hearing must
register before the hearing (https://
www.fws.gov/arcata/es/plants/
beachLayia/layia.html). The use of a
virtual public hearing is consistent with
our regulations at 50 CFR 424.16(c)(3).
Reasonable Accommodation
The Service is committed to providing
access to the public informational
meeting and public hearing for all
participants. Closed captioning will be

informational meeting and public
hearing. Further, a full audio and video

meeting and public hearing via their
