resource management tasks in each applicable recovery plan for implementation and budgeting
purposes.
(d) Implement Recovery Action Items. Applicable recovery action will be incorporated
into OMPs as an update in accordance with this pamphlet. Also, the Endangered Species Act
requires that each Federal agency, prior to implementation of a new or revised recovery plan,
consider all information presented during the public review of the recovery plan.
(e) Participate on Recovery Teams and in the Development of Recovery Plans. When
invited by the FWS/NMFS to participate on recovery teams for the purpose of developing or
revising recovery plans, Corps natural resource management experts will be encouraged to do so
within manpower constraints. When any Corps project lands and waters are targeted for a
significant role in the recovery of a species, a request will be made to the FWS/NMFS for the
involvement of qualified Corps personnel in the development of the recovery plan. The objectives
of this involvement will be to ensure the development of a well-coordinated plan, and to facilitate
implementation of the plan.
(7) Budgeting Requirements. All conservation activities identified will be accomplished
when funds are available through the budget priority process presented in the Annual O&M
Budget Guidance.
