Thursday's announcement, known as a 90-day finding, will open a 60-day public comment period. The Service will accept comments from the public until Oct. 18. A copy of the finding is available at www.fws.gov/sacra- mento The finding is the result of a petition submitted by the Pacific Legal Foundation in September 2010, seeking to remove the bee- tle, (Desmocerus californicus dimorphus) from the threatened and endangered species list under the ESA. Based on a review of the peti- tion and information available in our files, it was determined there is substantial scientific or com- mercial information indicating that delisting the beetle may be warranted. The Service will now undertake a more comprehensive study, known as 12-month review, to determine whether or not to propose the beetle for delisting. "We are looking to the public, agencies and non-profit organiza- tions to provide us with more information on the status of the species," explained Susan K. Moore, Field Supervisor in the Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Office. "To ensure the best deci- sion is made for the species we need our information to be com- plete and accurate." The finding does not affect cur- rent protections and management of the beetle, nor does it constitute a decision to delist the species. The 12-month review will consid- er additional information provid- ed by the public and species experts to determine whether or not a change is warranted in the species' status under the ESA. Such a determination would not automatically result in a change in classification. Any change would require a separate formal rule-making process, including additional public review Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Depart- ment, Tehama County Sheriff's Department, Corning Police Depart- ment and California Highway Patrol. Animals • CHP officers, with the help of deputies, responded to a call about a cow in the roadway on Kopta Road near Gar- diner Ferry Road in the Corning area. The bull was secured at a property in the 4000 block of Kopta Road. Arrest • Matthew Lyle Milli- man, 23, of Corning was arrested early Thursday morning in the 1500 block of Highway 99W. Corning Police received a report of an individual trespassing. When officers arrived Milliman fled into anoth- er yard and fell in a hole, causing him injury. Offi- cers initially requested medical for Milliman, who was not under arrest at the time and he was in an ambulance on his way to St. Elizabeth Commu- nity Hospital when he escaped. Milliman was later located on Highway 99W and arrested on a parole hold. An additional charge of delaying an officer in his duties was submitted to the District Attorney's office for the incident prior to Milliman being transported to St. Elizabeth's. • A driver was arrested for driving under the and comment, as defined in sec- tion 4(a) of the ESA. The Service is seeking infor- mation on the following five fac- tors: 1.) Is there a present or threat- ened destruction, modification, or curtailment of the species' habitat or range? The Service is also interested in information on mea- sures in place to protect habitat of the species. 2.) Is the species subject to overutilization for commercial, recreational, scientific, or educa- tional purposes? 3.) Is disease or predation a factor? 4.) Are there existing regulato- ry mechanisms in place outside the ESA (taking into account the efforts by the States and other organizations) to protect the species or habitat? 5.) Are other natural or man- made factors affecting its contin- ued existence? Comments may be submitted in one of the following ways: -- Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. In the Keywords box, enter Docket No. FWS–R8–ES–2011–0063 and follow the instructions for submit- ting comments. -- U.S. mail or hand-delivery: Public Comments Processing, Attn: FWS–R8–ES–2011–0063; Division of Policy and Directives Management; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; 4401 N.

The valley elderberry longhorn beetle is one-half to one-inch long with arching long antennae and vivid, almost iridescent, colors on its forewing covers. Females have metallic green highlights; males exhibit red highlights. The beetle is found only in California's Cen- tral Valley, where it depends on a single species for food and shel- ter, blue elderberry bushes (Sam- bucus) that grow along Central Valley watercourses. These bee- tles spend most of their lives as larvae inside the stems of the bushes, emerging as adults between March and June to lay their eggs on nearby elderberries. The insects eat elderberry nectar, flowers and leaves. The beetle was listed as threat- ened in 1980 due to loss of habitat and inadequate regulatory protec- tion. It was known to occur in less than 10 locations and more than 90 per cent of the Central Valley's original riparian habitat had been lost. Since then, nearly 200 occurrences in 25 locations ranging from Shasta County to Kern County have been confirmed and the rate of riparian habitat loss has been greatly reduced. About 35 percent are on protected lands. provides a critical safety net for America's native The Endangered Species Act fish, wildlife and plants.
