As of October 22, 2019, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) provided the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Jacksonville District with the Florida Bonneted Bat Consultation Guidelines and Consultation Key. These guidelines are final and supersede all previous versions.
The new Key is provided pursuant to the Service’s authorities under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act) (87 Stat. 884; 16 U.S.C.1531 et seq.). The purpose of the Guidelines and Key is to aid the USACE (or other Federal action agency) in making appropriate and consistent effect determinations for the Florida bonneted bat under section 7 of the Act and streamline informal consultation with the Service for the Florida bonneted bat when the proposed action is consistent with the Key.
