                    TITLE 50--WILDLIFE AND FISHERIES

 

CHAPTER IV--JOINT REGULATIONS (UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, 

 

PART 402_INTERAGENCY COOPERATION_ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT OF 1973, AS 

AMENDED--Table of Contents

 

                            Subpart A_General

 

Sec. 402.06  Coordination with other environmental reviews.



    (a) Consultation, conference, and biological assessment procedures 

under section 7 may be consolidated with interagency cooperation 

procedures required by other statutes, such as the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., implemented at 

40 CFR Parts 1500-1508) or the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (FWCA) 

(16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.). Satisfying the requirements of these other 

statutes, however, does not in itself relieve a Federal agency of its 

obligations to comply with the procedures set forth in this part or the 

substantive requirements of section 7. The Service will attempt to 

provide a coordinated review and analysis of all environmental 

requirements.

    (b) Where the consultation or conference has been consolidated with 

the interagency cooperation procedures required by other statutes such 

as NEPA or FWCA, the results should be included in the documents 

required by those statutes.
