Background Development Sample Clauses

Background Development. ‌ In August 2014, the Service was petitioned by a partnership of Center for Biological Diversity, Center for Food Safety, Xerces Society, and Xx. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx to list the monarch butterfly under the Endangered Species Act (Center for Biological Diversity et al. 2014). In the petition, the Service was asked to designate critical habitat for the monarch butterfly concurrently; to consider any significant portion of range when making a listing determination; and to develop a rule under section 4(d) of the ESA (‘‘4(d) rule’’) allowing activities that promote conservation of the subspecies (Center for Biological Diversity et al. 2014). The Service determined that the petition presented substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that the petitioned actions may be warranted and published a Notice of Petition Findings and Initiation of Status Review (Notice) in the Federal Register on December 31, 2014 (79 Fed. Reg. CFR 78777). In the meantime, concerted efforts to conserve the monarch butterfly—including developing conservation plans and demonstrating commitments to habitat creation, enhancement, and protection—are informing the Service’s species status assessment and helping to address the widespread declines in other pollinator populations. This CCAA/CCA is closely aligned with the broad monarch conservation strategy identified in “All Hands on Deck” (Xxxxxxxxxx et al. 2017), which envisions conservation contributions from multiple land use sectors. Another such strategy includes the MAMCS (v1.0, 2018-2038), recently prepared by the Midwest Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (MAFWA 2018a), which specifically recognizes the opportunity for conservation benefits within the rights-of-way sectors, and the Working Group’s role in bringing partners together. The CCAA/CCA also supports the Western America Monarch Conservation Plan, development by the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA 2018), as well as associated state plans for monarch conservation and pollinator protection. The Agreement is one way to demonstrate the significant interest and investment in monarch habitat conservation by the transportation and energy sectors.
