Army-wide Threatened and Endangered Species Survey
Abstract
The Army needs to maintain a reliable source of TES information applicable to a broad range of Army-wide uses. The Army must comply with the Endangered Species Act, which requires that Federal agencies not undertake actions that might harm TES. This requirement affects a variety of activities, such as conservation planning, administrative decisionmaking and planning, and installation management. In the past few years, the Army has received requests from Congress for TES data on short notice. A number of circumstances, such as pending environmental legislation, hearings on the Endangered Species Act, and concerns about possible burden to the military of meeting TES requirements may result in Congressional hearings. The Army needs to be able to respond to such data requests quickly and efficiently, preferably with current data that has already been collected and analyzed. Besides responding to ad hoc Congressional inquiries, the Army must report annual TES costs to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for their designated annual expenditure report for threatened and endangered species.
