SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) initiate 5-year reviews of three wildlife species (June sucker, Pawnee montane skipper, Wyoming toad) and eight plant species (Barneby reed-mustard, Barneby ridge-cress, Blowout Penstemon, Clay-loving wild-buckwheat, Clay reed-mustard, Maguire primrose, North Park phacelia, Shrubby reed-mustard) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act) (see Table 1 under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ). We request any new information on these species that may have a bearing on their classification as endangered or threatened. Based on the results of these 5-year reviews, we will make recommendations as to whether each of these species is properly classified under the Act.
