This final rule, developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) (referred to jointly as ``Services'' and individually as ``Service''), after coordination with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), codifies joint counterpart regulations for consultation under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (ESA), for regulatory actions under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Counterpart regulations, described in general terms in part 402, are intended to provide flexibility in the ways that a federal agency may meet its obligations under the ESA by creating alternative procedures to the section 7 consultation process described in subparts A and B of the same part. These counterpart regulations enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the section 7 consultation process by increasing interagency cooperation and providing two optional alternatives for completing section 7 consultation for FIFRA regulatory actions. One alternative modifies the process for EPA to conduct informal consultation with the Service for those FIFRA actions that EPA determines are ``not likely to adversely affect'' any federally- protected threatened and endangered species (``listed species'') or critical habitat. The other alternative permits the Service to conduct formal consultation in a manner that more effectively takes advantage of EPA's substantial expertise in evaluating ecological effects of FIFRA regulatory actions on listed species and critical habitats.
