Questions
It is when you log in and define a project; IPaC then gives an official species list and helps you evaluate impacts. Browsing the map alone shows resources in the area. The list starts Section 7 review; the effect finding comes from the federal agency.
The federal agency. It may designate a non-federal representative, such as the applicant or a consultant, to run informal consultation or prepare a biological assessment, by written notice to the Service. The agency must review that work, and ultimate responsibility stays with it.
It concludes within 90 days of starting unless extended, and the Service delivers its biological opinion within 45 days after that. When an applicant is involved, an extension of more than 60 days needs the applicant's consent.
