## Summary

**Make delisting more precise and faster when species have recovered or were wrongly listed.** This bill would add a clear recovery trigger for removing species, set a fast path to correct erroneous listings, and penalize knowingly fraudulent petitions. - Species and recovery: Would require the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service to initiate delisting when recovery plan goals are met or when substantial scientific or commercial information shows the species has recovered. It would also allow delisting when no recovery goals exist but the species is judged recovered. - Five-year reviews and removal notices: Would require five-year status reviews to consider recovery-plan criteria, the statutory listing factors, a finding of error, or a determination the species is no longer endangered or threatened. If a species is removed the Federal Register notice would consist solely of a removal notice. - Erroneous listings and petitioners: Would create a 90-day rapid review to identify listings based on information that is inaccurate beyond reasonable scientific error, fraudulent, or misrepresentative. A positive error finding would not be subject to judicial review and anyone who knowingly filed such a petition would be barred from acting as an "interested person" on petitions for 10 years.
