AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is taking final action to repeal expired, and therefore,
obsolete regulatory provisions regarding interim ocean dumping sites,
interim ocean dumping permits, and interim ocean dumping criteria.
Repeal of all reference to ``interim'' provisions is necessary based on
legislation enacted since promulgation of the reference, EPA action
since promulgation of the reference, or the passage of a date specified
in a definition of the reference. This action does not make any
substantive changes to EPA's ocean dumping regulations. This is a
housekeeping measure intended only to eliminate confusion by repealing
obsolete regulatory text.
DATES: This rule is effective on January 9, 2009.

Species That Are Candidates for Listing as Endangered or Threatened;
Annual Notice of Findings on Resubmitted Petitions; Annual Description
of Progress on Listing Actions
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of review.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this Candidate Notice of Review (CNOR), we, the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (Service), present an updated list of plant and
animal species native to the United States that we regard as candidates
for or have proposed for addition to the Lists of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife and Plants under the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended. Identification of candidate species can assist
environmental planning efforts by providing advance notice of potential
listings, allowing landowners and resource managers to alleviate
threats and thereby possibly remove the need to list species as
endangered or threatened. Even if we subsequently list a candidate
species, the early notice provided here could result in more options
for species management and recovery by prompting candidate conservation
measures to alleviate threats to the species.
The CNOR summarizes the status and threats that we evaluated in
order to determine that species qualify as candidates and to assign a
listing priority number (LPN) to each species, or to remove species
from candidate status. Additional material that we relied on is
available in the Species Assessment and Listing Priority Assignment
Forms (species assessment forms, previously called candidate forms) for
each candidate species.
Overall, this CNOR recognizes 1 new candidate, changes the LPN for
11 candidates, and removes 2 species from candidate status. Combined
with other decisions for individual species that were published
separately from this CNOR in the past year, the current number of
species that are candidates for listing is 251.
This document also includes our findings on resubmitted petitions
and describes our progress in revising the Lists of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife and Plants during the period September 30, 2007,
through September 30, 2008.
We request additional status information that may be available for
the 251 candidate species identified in this CNOR.
DATES: We will accept information on this Candidate Notice of Review at
any time.
ADDRESSES: This notice is available on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov, and http://endangered.fws.gov/candidates/
index.html. Species assessment forms with information and references on
a particular candidate species' range, status, habitat needs, and
listing priority assignment are available for review at the appropriate
Regional Office listed below in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION or at the
Branch of Candidate Conservation, Arlington, VA (see address below), or
on our Internet website (http://endangered.fws.gov/candidates/
index.html). Please submit any new information materials, comments, or
questions of a general nature on this notice to the Arlington, VA,
address listed below. Please submit any new information, materials,
comments, or questions pertaining to a particular species to the
address of the Endangered Species Coordinator in the appropriate
Regional Office listed in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The Endangered Species Coordinator(s)

Conservation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 4401 N. Fairfax Drive,
