If I implement the conservation measures on my IPaC report, do I still need to consult with USFWS?
In most cases project proponents will still need to consult with local USFWS offices. Exceptions include situations where IPaC specifically identifies that no such need exists. However, even if additional consultation is required, it is anticipate that if the IPaC recommendations are incorporated the consultation process will be streamlined. In the future IPaC will be used to deliver an increasing number of programmatic Section 7 consultations. When this is the case, the system will provide specific procedures that can be followed to either further reduce or potentially eliminate the need for addition consultation.
