This agreement, which culminates <br />nearly 2 years of discussions by the Management Committee, describes the <br />procedures for conducting Section 7 consultations on new and historic projects <br />in the upper basin and the role that the Recovery Program will play in the <br />Section 7 consultations. <br /> <br />The agreement will officially become effective upon adoption of the Recovery <br />Implementation Program Recovery Action Plan {RIPRAP} by the Implementation <br />Committee in September 1993. Until the RIPRAP is adopted, the Fish and <br />Wildlife Service will use the procedures in this agreement and the January <br />1993 draft of the RIPRAP as a basis for identifying reasonable and prudent <br />alternatives. <br /> <br />If you have questions about this agreement please contact me. <br /> <br />~~. <br />~7C. <br /> <br />Attachment <br /> <br />J(D: qij~J g-'1;~~:;I1i~t~~ <br /> <br />u.s.
