Individuals who are hearing impaired or speech 2 impaired may call the Federal Relay Service at 800-877–8339 for TTY assistance. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Why Do We Conduct 5-year Reviews? Under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we maintain Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (which we collectively refer to as the List) in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12 (for plants). Section 4(c)(2) of the Act requires us to review each listed species’ status at least once every 5 years to determine whether it should be removed from the List; or be changed in status from endangered to threatened, or from threatened to endangered. Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing those species under active review. What Information Do We Consider in the Review? A 5-year review considers all new information available at the time of the review. In conducting these reviews, we consider the best scientific and commercial data that has become available since the listing determination or most recent status review, such as: (A) Species biology, including but not limited to population trends, distribution, abundance, demographics, and genetics; (B) Habitat conditions, including but not limited to amount, distribution, and suitability; (C) Conservation measures that have been implemented that benefit the species; (D) Threat status and trends in relation to the five listing factors (as defined in 3 section 4(a)(1) of the Act); and (E) Other new information, data, or corrections, including but not limited to, taxonomic or nomenclatural changes, identification of erroneous information contained in the List, and improved analytical methods. Any new information will be considered during the 5-year review and will also be useful in evaluating the ongoing recovery programs for these species. What Species Are Under Review? This notice announces our active review of the 133 species listed in the table below. Species for which we are initiating a 5-year status review.

PROBLEM FORMULATION 1.1 Nature of the Registration Action This environmental risk assessment evaluates the potential ecological risks of the new broad spectrum insecticide, GS-U-ACTX-Hv1a-SEQ2 (Versutide™ peptide). The insecticide is proposed for use on a number of agricultural and home/garden uses; general categories include: vegetable and cole crops; herbs, spices, and mints; fruit, nut, and vine crops; field crops; commercial flowers and ornamental plants; forest, shade tree, and nursery stock; and turf. The insecticide is listed as being effective to control numerous insects including: alfalfa looper, army worm, Colorado potato beetle larvae, hornworms, spotted cucumber beetle, tobacco budworm, European corn borer, cankerworm, western tent caterpillar, cutworms, corn earworm, and gypsy moth. Two formulations (20% and 30% ai) are being registered. The proposed maximum single application rate is 0.8 lb ai/A with a maximum yearly application rate (assumed) of 0.8 lb ai/A. The products are foliar sprays that are applied via ground or aerial application equipment. 1.2 Nature of the Chemical Stressor GS-U-ACTX-Hv1a-SEQ2 is a peptide that is derived from the venom of a species of Australian funnel spider (Hadronyche versuta).

The very dense wood is traditionally used for hōlua (sleds), ‘ō‘ō, and house poles. Native Plant Specialist, Anthony Ortiz became part of the MHC ‘Ohana in 2005 and has been volunteering and working in the garden at least once a week since then. He completed docent training in 2007. “Mānoa Heritage Center has always been a place that has given me an indescribable, powerful feeling, and the plants absolutely love it here.” The signifi cant changes to the garden over the years, he says “have been seeing the generations of plants throughout their life cycle. Many of the plants in the garden are keiki from mother plants that are no longer with us. The large halapepe and the Munroidendron (now Polyscias racemosa) near Kūka‘ō‘ō are grown from seed collected from 15-20 year old mother trees no longer here.” Of all the native plants in the garden, Anthony is particularly fond of the generations of Munroidendron, halapepe, and alahe'e he has watched fl ourish as keiki from the original mother plants. “Munroidendron is especially signifi cant, because its historical Hawaiian name and use have been lost. The information behind each of the plants (historical, Anthony and his family, Moani cultural, ecological, biological) can disappear just as easily without educating ourselves and Seraphina (and Kua the dog). and others.” Visit us at www.manoaheritagecenter.org 2856 O‘ahu Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96822 (808) 988-1287 [email protected] FALL 2019 NEWSLETTER Dry Stack Wall Ma Ka Hana Ka ‘Ike Workshop with Billy Fields Ua ho‘ono niho ‘ia.

Salazar also announced that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which is responsible for administering the Endangered Species Act, is designating critical habitat on the island for 47 of these species. “Our action today reflects President Obama’s determination to base conservation decisions on the best available science and to move quickly to protect our nation’s wildlife and ecosystems when, like the fragile ecosystem of Kaua‘i, they are at risk,” said Salazar. The designation of critical habitat for the 47 species represents a significant step forward from the Service’s past efforts to designate critical habitat for threatened and endangered species in Hawai‘i. Previous critical habitat designations created an overlapping patchwork of habitat that did not maximize conservation efforts for these species and Hawai‘i’s natural communities. “The ecosystem-based approach that our scientists used to make this decision represents an efficient and innovative model for conserving imperiled species and their habitats,” said Salazar.

Allen Tom1, Andrew Rossiter2, Tapani Vouri3, Melanie Ide4 1NOAA, Kihei, Hawaii. 2Waikiki Aquarium, Honolulu, Hawaii. 3Maui Ocean Center, Maaleaa, Hawaii. 4Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii Track V. New Technologies in Conservation Research and Management Abstract Directors from the Waikiki Aquarium (Dr. Andrew Rossiter), Maui Ocean Center (Tapani Vouri) and the Bishop Museum (Melanie Ide) will discuss their programs public conservation programs and what the future holds for these institutions both during and after COVID-19. Panelists will discuss: How these institutions survived during COVID-19, what they will be doing in the future to ensure their survival and how they promote and support conservation efforts in Hawai'i. HCC is an excellent opportunity to showcase how Hawaii's largest aquaria and museums play a huge role in building awareness of the public in our biocultural diversity both locally and globally, and how the vicarious experience of biodiversity that is otherwise rarely or never seen by the normal person can be appreciated, documented, and researched, so we know the biology, ecology and conservation needs of our native biocultural diversity. Questions about how did COVID-19 affect these amazing institutions and how has COVID-19 forced an internal examination and different ways of working in terms of all of the in-house work that often falls to the side against fieldwork, and how it strengthened the data systems as well as our virtual expression of biodiversity work when physical viewing became hampered.
