Title: Interagency Cooperation--Endangered Species Act of 1973, as Amended; Incidental Take Statements | |
Abstract: The National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service amended the implementing section 7 regulations under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA), regarding incidental take statements. The purpose of the changes were to address (1) the use of surrogates to express the limit of exempted take and (2) when an incidental take exemption is appropriate for programmatic federal actions. The amendments provided the Services with greater flexibility in determining the type of take anticipated and when that take must be specifically identified. These changes clarified the regulations for affected Federal action agencies, as well as the public. | |
