Mr. Tom Egeland Director Environmental Planning and Conservation Policy Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Installations & Environment) Section 7 Consultation Pitfalls and Rescue Equipment

Section 7 Consultation is a Process Sec 7(a)(2) – in consultation with and with the assistance of the Secretary C4 equals: Communication, Consultation, and Cooperation all in the service of Conservation USFWS – consultative agency versus a regulatory agency Duty of USFWS to assist federal agencies with their Sec 7 obligations Not a process for dictating to federal agencies how they are to bring about the recovery T/E species Section 7 Consultation – Pitfalls and Rescue Equipment

Section 7 Consultation – Pitfalls and Rescue Equipment Pitfall No 1 Unfamiliarity with the Law and Regulations Be knowledgeable about ESA and regulations Know the rules (learn to become a good negotiator) Many good sources of information on ESA and procedures - do your homework (Example – Section 7 Consultation Handbood;

Section 7 Consultation – Pitfalls and Rescue Equipment Pitfall No 2 Consultations Initiated Unnecessarily Avoid unnecessary consultations Be sure you have a “may affect” situation (reasonably foreseeable) Don’t be afraid to make a “no effect” determination Be more risk tolerant

Section 7 Consultation – Pitfalls and Rescue Equipment Pitfall No 3 Incomplete or Inaccurate Information ESA is clear about what must be presented Have the best available information about the species/habitat Do good biology – prepare solid BA Address cumulative impacts

Section 7 Consultation – Pitfalls and Rescue Equipment Pitfall No 4 Obstinate Personalities Need to have the regulator’s confidence Requires “up front” trust building If there is a problem, find out what the difficulty is and best way to overcome it If necessary, elevate problems to the next level

Section 7 Consultation – Pitfalls and Rescue Equipment Good Example – MINEX BO with NMFS Poor Example – VIEQUES BO with FWS and NMFS

Some Tips: Know the law and procedures Avoid time constraint situations that require quick negotiations Do not be afraid to think outside the box Involve chain-of-command with decisions being made Do not be afraid to say no – be more risk tolerant Section 7 Consultation – Pitfalls and Rescue Equipment
