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. No, 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, please 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 (NMFS). 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 

preparing Biological Assessments and Biological Evaluations. If you require additional 

information, please do not hesitate to contact me. We look forward to your response.

Thank you,

Audra
