ACTION: Notification of 12-month petition finding.

41. The Commission is taking steps to minimize the impact on small entities and considering significant alternatives by identifying multiple methodologies for compensating VRS providers for the provision of VRS. The Commission seeks comment on maintaining tiered rates, including the specifics for the tiered structure and for setting such rates, and in the alternative, freezing the current rates. The Commission will consider these proposals to determine the best compensation methodology for ensuring choice among suppliers for VRS users and to help maintain functionally equivalent service and maintain an efficient VRS market over the long term in accordance with the Commission statutory obligations. The Commission seeks comment on the effect these proposals will have on all entities that provide VRS, including small entities.
42. The Commission also seeks comment from all interested parties.
Small entities are encouraged to bring to the Commissions attention any specific concerns they may have with the proposals outlined in the NPRM. The Commission expects to consider the economic impact on small entities, as identified in comments filed in response to the NPRM, in reaching its final conclusions and acting in this proceeding.

Background Section 4b3B of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended Act;
16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq., requires that, within 12 months of receipt of a petition to add a species to, or remove a species from, the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants, a finding be made as to whether the requested action is: a Not warranted, b warranted, or c warranted, but precluded by other listing activity. If the action is found to be warranted, section 4b3Bii requires a prompt publication in the Federal Register of a general notice and the complete text of a proposed regulation to implement such action.
On October 7, 2019, we received a petition from the Center for Biological Diversity CBD; CBD 2019, entire requesting that Tiehms buckwheat be listed as threatened or endangered, that critical habitat be concurrently designated for this species under the Act, and that the petition be considered on an emergency basis. The Act does not provide for a process to petition for emergency listing; therefore, we evaluated the petition to determine if it presented substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that the petitioned action may be warranted.
The Service published a 90-day finding on July 22, 2020 85 FR 44265, stating that the petition presented substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that listing Tiehms buckwheat may be warranted.
On September 29, 2020, CBD filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada against the Service alleging violations under the Administrative Procedure Act 5 U.S.C.
551 et seq.; CBD amended the complaint on October 8, 2020, to include a claim under the Endangered Species Act that the Service had missed the 1-year deadline of October 7, 2020, for issuing a 12-month finding for Tiehms buckwheat. On April 21, 2021, the court issued a decision, and, in response to a stipulated request for a revised remedy order, on May 17, 2021, the court amended the decision and ordered the Service to deliver a 12month finding on Tiehms buckwheat to the Federal Register by May 31, 2021.
The Service now announces a 12-month finding on the October 7, 2019, petition to list Tiehms buckwheat.
Species Description and Habitat Tiehms buckwheat was first discovered in 1983 and described in 1985. All available taxonomic and genetic research information indicates that Tiehms buckwheat is a valid and
