1-13 interactions" as separate tasks unless you anticipate that separately funded studies should be conducted. Use judgment in deciding how finely to slice the tasks. In some instances, one aspect of life history may be of higher priority than other aspects and should be designated as a separate task. Any task receivinQ a Priority 1 desiQnation in the Imolementation Schedule must be justified in the Narrative Outline as necessary to orevent extinction. 6 In the narrative, discuss the uncertainty surrounding cost estimates that might prove inaccurate or imprecise. Indicate the degree of confidence in the estimates, including costs associated with developing and implementing conditions of Section 7 consultation biological opinions and Section 10 Habitat Conservation Plans. Estimates should be in current dollars; do not attempt to adjust for inflation. Estimates from other agencies fleed to be similarly documented. (Note that Congress may fund other Federal agencies based, in part, on these estimates. It will greatly benefit other agencies' budget requests if they can say ".... as indicated in the Recovery Plan for the species.") Specifically identify in this section any recommendation for the protection of habitat that is essential to the species. Describe its extent and lqcation (provided this specificity would not increase the risk of take). Available options for land protection (e.g., fee purchase, easement, etc.) should be considered as options. Essential habitat need not be limited to currently occupied habitat or currently suitable habitat if it is deemed important for eventual recovery of the species. (Note that any habitat to be acquired by a Federal agency for endangered species must be identified, at least in general area description, in the recovery plan before the Administration will submit the request to Congress. As a .very minimum, land acquisition must be identified as a requirement for recovery.) The Narrative Outline should include a set of "Strategies"that will, when applied to the known threats, result in achievement of the recovery objective. It is important to consider all strategies that may alleviate known threats, such as research on disease, habitat protection, protection from taking, captive propagation, reintroduction, control of competing species, etc. J 1 c.

This section should reference all source documents for the Plan, but it need not be a complete bibliography. OS/25/90
