How does this decision affect the Directors Consultation Procedures Memorandum dated January 22, 2003?
A9: The Director’s Consultation Procedures Memorandum is now rescinded. The Service will continue to follow the section 7 regulations and policies, and must ensure any project that may affect manatees and could result in take are thoroughly reviewed, while at the same time ensuring projects where take is not reasonably certain to occur are not unnecessarily delayed. New guidance will be forthcoming.
