Management Plan, Implementation; Mesa County, Colorado. The wait period ends on September <br />7, 2004. <br />Fish and Wildlife Service <br />69 Fed. Reg. 43621, July 21, 2004. <br />FWS announces a 5- year review of Holy Ghost Ipomopsis (lpomopsis sancti - spiritus) and <br />Kuenzler hedgehog cactus (Echinocereus fendleri var. kuenzleri) under section 4(c)(2)(A) of the <br />Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq., ESA). These species are listed in New <br />Mexico. The agency explains the purpose of reviews conducted under this section of the ESA is <br />to ensure that the classification of species as threatened or endangered on the List of Endangered <br />and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (List) is accurate. The 5 -year review is an assessment of the <br />best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review. Therefore, FWS is <br />requesting submission of any new information (best scientific and commercial data) on Holy Ghost <br />1pomopsis and Kuenzler hedgehog cactus since their original listings as endangered species in <br />1994 (59 FR 13836) and 1979 (44 FR 61924), respectively. If the present classification of either of <br />these species is not consistent with the best scientific and commercial information available, FWS <br />will recommend whether or not a change is warranted in the Federal classification of Holy Ghost <br />Ipomopsis or Kuenzler hedgehog cactus. Any change in Federal classification would require a <br />separate final rule- making process. Information submitted for the agency's consideration must be <br />received on or before August 20, 2004. <br />W N 2004 -8 <br />0 <br />
