ACTION: Notice of document availability and public comment period. SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces the availability for public review of an agency draft recovery plan for Roan Mountain bluet. Roan Mountain bluet [H edyotis purpurea var. m ontana) is a rare cespitose perennial herb endemic to a few scattered mountaintops north of the Asheville Basin in North Carolina and, formerly, Tennessee. The Service solicits review and comments from the public on this draft plan. DATES: Comments on the agency draft recovery plan must be received on or before October 4,1993 to receive consideration by the Service. ADDRESSES: Persons wishing to review the agency draft recovery plan may obtain a copy by contacting the Asheville Field Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 330 Ridgefield Court, Asheville, North Carolina 28806 (Telephone 704/665-1195). Written comments and materials regarding the plan should be addressed to the Field Supervisor at the above address. Comments and materials received are available on request for public inspection, by appointment, during normal business hours at the above address. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. J. Allen Ratzlaff at the address and telephone number shown above (Ext. 229). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Restoring endangered or threatened animals or plants to the point where they are again secure, self-sustaining members of their ecosystems is a primary goal of the Service’s endangered species program. To help guide the recovery effort, the Service is working to prepare recovery plans for most of the listed species native to the United States. Recovery plans describe actions considered necessary for conservation of the species, establish criteria for recognizing the recovery levels for downlisting or delisting them, and estimate time and cost for implementing the recovery measures needed. The Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (Act), requires the development of recovery plans for listed species unless such a plan would not promote the conservation of a particular species. Section 4(f) of the Act, as amended in 1988, requires that a public notice and an opportunity for public review and comment be provided during recovery plan development. The Service will consider all information presented during a public comment period prior to approval of each new or revised recovery plan. The Service and other Federal agencies will also take these comments into account in the course of implementing approved recovery plans. Based upon available information concerning the range, biology, and threats to its continued survival, it is not yet possible to determine if or when full recovery of the Roan Mountain bluet is 4 1 8 0 2 F ed eral R egister / Vol. 53, No. 1 4 9 / Thursday, August 5, 1993 / N otices possible. Accordingly, this draft recovery plan outlines a mechanism that provides for the protection and maintenance of all known populations, with emphasis on determining autecological factors necessary to manage the species. The Roan Mountain bluet was officially listed as an endangered species on April 5,1990, primarily because of habitat destruction from commercial, recreational, or residential development at privately owned sites, trampling of populations at accessible cliff- or trail-side locations on national forest lands, erosional loss of cliff-side habitat created by uprooting and wind-throw of high-altitude trees killed by air pollution or exotic pests, successional encroachment by native and exotic plants, and demographic problems. Comments and information provided during this review will be used in preparing the final recovery plan. Public Comments Solicited The Service solicits written comments on the recovery plan described. All comments received by the date specified above will be considered prior to approval of the plan.

Karen W. Rosa, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, at the above Honolulu address. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Restoring 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 the Service’s endangered species program. To help guide die recovery effort, the Service is working to prepare recovery plans for most of the listed species native to the United States. Recovery plans describe actions considered necessary for conservation of the species, criteria for recognizing the recovery levels for downlisting or delisting them, and initial estimates of times and costs to implement the recovery measures needed. The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (Act), requires the development of recovery plans for listed species unless such a plan would not promote the conservation of a particular species. Section 4(0 of the Act, as amended in 1988, requires that a public notice and an opportunity for public review and comment be provided during recovery plan development. The Service will consider all information presented during a public comment period prior to approval of each new or revised recovery plan. Substantive technical comments will result in changes to the plans. Substantive comments regrading recovery plan implementation may not necessarily result in changes to the recovery plans, but will be forwarded to appropriate Federal or other entities so that they can take these comments into account during the course of implementing recovery actions. Individualized responses to comments will not be provided. The species being considered in this recovery plan are C aesalpin ia kavaien sis and K okia drynarioides. The areas of emphasis for recovery actions for these species are: West and northwest slopes of Hualalai Mountain, Kona District, Hawaii Island; three gulches in the Waianae Mountains, Oahu Island; Puhielelu Ridge, Lanai Island; and Koaie Valley and the Poomau Branch of Waimea Canyon, Kauai Island. Recovery efforts will focus on securing habitat, managing it to remove threats by ungulates, fire, alien plants, insect infestations, seed predators and illegal harvest, augmenting current populations and establishing new populations. Public Comments Solicited The Service solicits written comments on the recovery plan described. All comments received by the date specified will be considered prior to approval of the plan.
