Within 30 days after receiving a conservation recommendation from NMFS, the Federal agency is required to provide a detailed written response to NMFS and the Pacific Fishery Management Council. This response shall include a description of measures proposed for avoiding, mitigating, or offsetting the impact of the activity on EFH. The response may be included in that prepared for other regulatory activities (see #12).
