SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service),
announce the availability of the Draft
Recovery Plan for Five Species from
American Samoa. This recovery plan
addresses recovery of one mammal
(South Pacific subspecies of Pacific
sheath-tailed bat or peapea vai
[Emballonura semicaudata
semicaudata], two birds (mao
[Gymnomyza samoensis] and the
American Samoa distinct population
segment (DPS) of friendly ground-dove
or tuaimeo [Gallicolumba stairi]), and
two snails (Eua zebrina and Ostodes
strigatus). The snails and the American
Samoa DPS of tuaimeo are endemic to
American Samoa; the mao and peapea
vai appear to be extirpated from
American Samoa, but populations of
these species remain extant outside of
U.S. jurisdiction.
Background
Recovery of endangered or threatened
animals and plants to the point where
they are again secure, self-sustaining
members of their ecosystems is a
primary goal of our endangered species
program and the Endangered Species
Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
Recovery means improvement of the
status of listed species to the point at
which listing is no longer appropriate
under the criteria set out in section
4(a)(1) of the ESA. The ESA requires the

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 93 / Monday, May 17, 2021 / Notices
development of recovery plans for listed
species, unless such a plan would not
promote the conservation of a particular
species.
The purpose of a recovery plan is to
provide a feasible and effective roadmap
for a species’ recovery, with the goal of
improving its status and managing its
threats to the point at which protections
under the ESA are no longer needed.
Recovery plans must be designed so that
all stakeholders and the public
understand the rationale behind the
recovery program, whether they were
involved in writing the plan or not, and
recognize their role in its
implementation. We are requesting
submission of any information that
enhances the necessary understanding
of the species’ biology and threats and
its recovery needs and related
implementation issues or concerns, to
ensure that we have assembled,
considered, and incorporated the best
available scientific and commercial
information into the draft recovery plan.
Recovery plans provide important
guidance to the Service, States, other
partners, and the public on methods of
minimizing threats to listed species and
objectives against which to measure the
progress towards recovery; they are
guidance and not regulatory documents.
A recovery plan identifies, organizes,
and prioritizes recovery actions and is
an important guide that ensures sound
scientific decision-making throughout
the recovery process, which can take
decades.
The recovery criteria established in a
recovery plan (such as those proposed
in this draft recovery plan) will serve as
an indicator that a review of the species’
status is advisable. We may consider
downlisting, or if appropriate, removal
from the Federal List of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife following a five-
factor threats analysis in accordance
with section 4(a)(1) of the ESA.
Draft Recovery Plan
The draft recovery plan recommends
a combination of recovery actions
including biosecurity measures; control
of introduced predators including rats,
cats and invertebrates; forest habitat
protection; species surveys and
research; and translocation to additional
islands.
Request for Public Comments
Section 4(f) of the ESA requires us to
provide public notice and an
opportunity for public review and
comment during recovery plan
development. It is also our policy to
request peer review of recovery plans
(July 1, 1994; 59 FR 34270). Substantive
comments may or may not result in
changes to the recovery plan. Comments
regarding recovery plan implementation
will be forwarded, as appropriate, to
Federal or other entities so they can be
taken into account during the course of
implementing recovery actions.
Responses to individual commenter will
not be provided. However, we will
provide a summary of how we
addressed substantive comments in an
appendix to the approved recovery plan.
We invite written comments on the
draft recovery plan. In particular, we are
interested in additional information
regarding the current threats to the
species, ongoing beneficial management
efforts, and the costs associated with
implementing the recommended
recovery actions.
Public Availability of Comments
All comments received, including
names and addresses, will become part
of the administrative record and will be
available to the public. Before including
your address, phone number, email
address, or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—will be
publicly available. If you submit a
hardcopy comment that includes
personal identifying information, you
may request at the top of your document
that we withhold this information from
public review. However, we cannot
guarantee we will be able to do so.
Authority
The authority for this action is section
4(f) of the Endangered Species Act (16
U.S.C. 1533 (f)).

Acting Deputy Regional Director.
