Summary:
On July 25, 2018, the Trump Administration proposed three
rules that would change implementation of the Endangered
Species Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq.). The proposed
rules are open for public comment until September 24,
2018. The federal agencies that implement ESA include the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration through the
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). FWS and
NMFS are referred to as action agencies in this In Focus,
and the term Secretary refers to the Secretary of the Interior
unless otherwise stated. The proposed rules are summarized
below without an analytical discussion, although some
Administration explanations of the changes are included.
