Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your message. I apologize for the delay in my response. I have been on leave. Andy Flajole reached out to me yesterday by phone to introduce himself. I understand he is working on addressing the questions I raised in the RAI. N o, my consultation will not include Magnuson-Stevens or EFH. We have two separate divisions of NMFS that handle EFH and ESA section 7 consultations. Our Habitat Conservation Division handles EFH consultations. I have cc'ed Jocelyn Karazisa from HCD as she would be the one who would work on the EFH consultation. My consultation is limited to ESA-listed species and designated critical habitat (although this particular consultation is limited to listed species as there is no critical habitat in the project area).

I hope that answers your questions, and I look forward to receiving EPA's response to our RAI. As you probably know, for ESA section 7 consultations, we consult directly with the Federal action agency, which is EPA in this case. If EPA wishes to designate a non-federal representative, such as FPL, to handle the section 7 consultation, p lease notify us in writing.

Thank you, Audra

Audra, I do not have an email address for Barbara however you can either get it from Andy Flajoje who I copied on the last email, or you can call her at 561-691-7518. Also, will your consultation include the Magnuson-Stevens Act?

Thanks

Mr. Parks,

I believe I had an incorrect e-mail address for you on my first attempt. Please see my e-mail below and the attachments. Also, I do not have an e-mail address for Barbara Linkiewicz, whom I believe is the FPL contact. Can you please provide an e-mail address for her and I will forward my request to her as well?

Thank you, Audra

Good afternoon Mr. Parks,

This message is a follow up to my voicemail message. I took a stab at guessing your e-mail address (hopefully I got it right). This e-mail responds to the EPA's Feb. 22, 2012, letter requesting Endangered Species Act section 7 consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service ( N MFS). Your request does not contain sufficient information for us to make a determination as to whether the proposed action may affect listed species under our purview. Therefore, at this stage, I am providing technical assistance and a request for additional information (RAI).

I have attached my RAI along with two documents. The first document is a list of species that may occur in the action area. The second document contains NMFS' recommendations for p reparing Biological Assessments and Biological Evaluations. If you require additional information, p lease do not hesitate to contact me. We look forward to your response.
