Title: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Policy Regarding Voluntary Prelisting Conservation Actions
Abstract: We are finalizing policy 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 policy describes 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.
