Terms of Clearance:
OMB approves this ICR in accordance with 5 CFR 1320 for three years. As terms of clearance, the agency has uploaded example agreements from Arkansas DOT, Ohio DOT, and Pennsylvania DOT. Per the program, they constitute all of the agreements currently in place under this control number (1018-0177). The agency has also uploaded one example annual report for PennDOT. These supplemental documents are meant to serve as example references for the information collected Service’s Policy Regarding Voluntary Prelisting Conservation Actions (735 FW 1). Under the next submission of this ICR for approval, we request that these documents be updated with additional annual reports, if available, from two state programs established under the Voluntary Prelisting Conservation Policy.

Abstract:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (we, Service) is charged with implementing the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (Act). The goal of the Act is to provide a means to conserve the ecosystems upon which listed species depend and a program for listed species conservation. Through our Candidate Conservation Program, we encourage the public to take conservation actions for species prior to them being listed under the Act. Doing so may result in precluding the need to list a species, may result in listing a species as threatened instead of endangered, or, if a species becomes listed, may provide the basis for its recovery and eventual removal from the protections of the Act.
