Title: ●Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Expanding Incentives For Voluntary Conservation Actions Under The Endangered Species Act 
Abstract: We are considering regulations to facilitate mitigation for actions that may affect currently unlisted species that could in the near future be listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. The regulations would describe how voluntary beneficial actions that property owners could undertake for an unlisted species would be recognized, how property owners may receive credit for those beneficial actions, and how the owners will be covered for any incidental take that results from their actions if the species becomes listed.
