Sec. 643.32  Policy--Endangered species.

    The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), 
declares the intention of Congress to conserve threatened and endangered 
species of fish, wildlife and plants, and the ecosystems on which those 
species depend. The Act provides that Federal agencies must utilize 
their authorities in furtherance of its purposes by carrying out 
programs for the conservation of endangered or threatened species, and 
by taking such necessary action to insure that any action authorized by 
that agency will not jeopardize the continued existence of such 
endangered or threatened species or result in the destruction or 
modification of habitat of such species which is determined by the 
Secretaries of the Departments of Commerce or Interior, as appropriate, 
to be critical.
