Proposed modifications will become effective upon the other Parties’ written concurrence. Modifications to the CCAA will occur occasionally, through the removals or additions of land to the enrolled lands through sale, purchases, or land exchanges. These changes are not expected to annually comprise more than 5 percent of the aggregate acreage of the enrolled lands. These changes are considered minor in nature, and at the landowner’s discretion, and shall be included or excluded from the CCAA, with written notification to the FWS in the annual report. Removals or additions of land in the enrolled lands exceeding 5% annually or 10% cumulatively over the life of the permit will require SPI to provide written notice and obtain written concurrence from the FWS and may require the FWS to amend the permit in accordance with all applicable legal requirements. If the policies regarding managing wildlife habitat described in “Management Practices and Policies on Enrolled Lands” are modified, resulting in the likely reduction in the expected future capability of the land to support xxxxxx, this would require a modification of this CCAA. Such a modification will require SPI to provide written notice and obtain written concurrence from the FWS, and may require the FWS to amend the permit in accordance with all applicable legal requirements. If a xxxxxx reintroduction program is implemented on enrolled lands, and monitoring efforts (as identified above) determine that reintroduced individuals or their progeny moved beyond the boundaries of enrolled lands of this CCAA, the enrolled lands of this CCAA will be expanded to include the newly occupied areas. The boundary of the expanded enrolled lands will be established upon mutual agreement by FWS and SPI, and will require the FWS to amend the permit in accordance with all applicable legal requirements. This process for modifying and amending the CCAA will provide certainty to SPI regarding land use restrictions that might otherwise apply should xxxxxx become listed under the ESA.
