2077
. (a) The department shall review species listed as an
endangered species or as a threatened species every five years to
determine if the conditions that led to the original listing are
still present. The review shall be conducted based on information
which is consistent with the information specified in Section 2072.3
and which is the best scientific information available to the
department. The review shall include a review of the identification
of the habitat that may be essential to the continued existence of
the species and the department's recommendations for management
activities and other recommendations for recovery of the species. The
department shall notify any person who has notified the commission,
in writing with their address, of their interest, and the department
may notify any other person.
(b) Review of species that are listed by both the commission and
the United States Department of Interior will be conducted in
conjunction with the five-year review process of the United States
Department of Interior.
(c) Initial review of those species listed by the commission
before January 1, 1982, that are not listed by the federal government
shall be undertaken and completed by July 1, 1987. Initial review of
those species listed by the commission after January 1, 1982, that
are not listed by the federal government shall be undertaken and
completed within five years of the date the species was originally
listed by the commission.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the
commission or the department may review a species at any time based
upon a petition or upon other data available to the department and
the commission.
(e) The department shall report in writing to the commission the
results of its five-year review for each listed species. The
commission shall treat any report of the department under this
subdivision which contains a recommendation to add a species to, or
remove a species from, the list of endangered species or the list of
threatened species as a department recommendation submitted pursuant
to Section 2072.7.
