Title: Endangered Species Act Section 7 Consultations 
Abstract: The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) (collectively, “Services” or “we”) propose to amend part 402 of title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations, which implements section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The Services are proposing these changes to clarify several definitions, to clarify when the section 7 regulations are applicable and the correct standards for effects analysis, and to establish time frames for the informal consultation process.
