Completed applications are evaluated by the T&E Task Committee (July 2018). The committee determines if substantial evidence has been presented by the petitioner to warrant a full review. Some of the factors considered are:

• evidence of decline or vulnerability using best scientific data available
• extent of threat
• listing rank
• population must be viable
• disease, exotic introduction, commercial use, etc

Committee recommendations on which species petitions merit full review.

• Approval of Sectary to accept preliminary recommendations and conduct full review
• General discussion agenda item in front of of KDWP Commission
• Hold informational meetings around the state
• Seek expert input via numeric evaluation forms and specific questions
• Evaluate present and future conservation actions
• News releases
• Publish public notice that review it warranted (90 day public comment period)

More interim requirements (subsequent to public notice publications)

• All documents regarding review made available on KDWP website
• Notify surrounding states and tribal governments
• Statement of economic impact for each listing
• All documents made available at local repository via request
