This information collection is based on National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service policy on the criteria the Services use to evaluate conservation efforts by states and other non-Federal entities. The Services take these efforts into account when making decisions on whether to list a species as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Efforts usually involve the development of a conservation plan or agreement, procedures for monitoring the effectiveness of the plan or agreement, and an annual report.
Note: the reporting/recordkeeping cost remains at $150, but in ROCIS, current cost is shown as zero, due to rounding of cost when importing data into the system.
