  Mr. PUTNAM. Mr. Chairman, the intent of Sec. 25 of H.R. 3824, the 
Relationship Between Section 7 Consultation and Incident Take 
Authorization Under Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 is to clarify 
that when regulations set forth under the Endangered Species Act 
conflict with regulations set forth under the Marine Mammal Protection 
Act during the review process for issuing dock permits, it is the 
regulations set forth under the Endangered Species Act that are the 
governing authority.
