Proposed projects and activities that occur on private lands and do not require any Federal action (e.g., permits, funds, authorization, etc.) will not be affected by this Federal listing activity.

In addition, if any activity or proposed project would result in take of the Salt Creek tiger beetle or the destruction or adverse modification of habitat occupied by the beetle, provisions under section 9 of the Federal Endangered Species Act would be triggered.
