• Research that incorporates North American Bat Conservation Partnership (NABCP) monitoring recommendations into regional bat monitoring eforts to accurately docu- ment populations of priority bat species so better estimates can be determined. • New or improved approaches to internal supporting processes (e.g., species prioritiza- tion, threat assessment) that are worth the investment of revision before an unwieldy process becomes tradition. • Expansion of the Plan to include species or groups (e.g., insects) that were secondarily addressed and revision will make a more truly comprehensive document. Since it takes considerable time to assess changes related to the implementation of conser- vation activities and to collect and analyze new information useful in making management decisions, reevaluation of SGCN and priority species is planned to be part of the interim review and revision process, based on recommendations from the Revision Technical Team or the Taxa Teams. However, should immediate declines (e.g., white-nose syndrome and bat population trends) become apparent for any species, taxonomic group, or species guild the Revision Steering Committee can convene a Taxa Team to conduct an immedi- ate reevaluation. Revision of any SGCN and priority species list will be submitted to the USFWS as a major revision of the WAP.
