How will the final designation of critical habitat affect activities for which a party has already consulted with the Service under section 7 of the Act?
A. Federal regulations require agencies to reinitiate consultation with the Service on previously reviewed actions if critical habitat is designated after the initial consultation, and if those actions may adversely affect critical habitat. This applies only if those agencies have retained some type of involvement or control over the action, or if such involvement is authorized by law. Federal agencies may request to reinitiate consultation with us if a project is likely to affect or adversely modify proposed critical habitat.
