ample, the NRC staff was unable to reach a generic environmental impact determination for threatened and endangered species in the Decommissioning GEIS. For this resource area, the licensee can obtain a current list of threatened, endangered, proposed, and candidate species that could occur on the site from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (FWS’s) online database, “Information for Planning and Consultation: Environmental Conservation Online System,” and, if appropriate, by coordinating with the appropriate FWS or National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) office. In addition, the licensee should determine if any protected habitats, such as designated critical habitat or Essential Fish Habitat, occur at or near the site. In many cases, the federally listed species, designated critical habitat, and Essential Fish Habitat would have changed since the NRC staff engaged in the last consultation under the ESA or the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) (Ref. 29). For any federally listed species, designated critical habitat, or Essential Fish Habitat on or near the site, the licensee should determine what the impacts from planned decommissioning activities would be to those species and habitats, coordinating, as appropriate, with FWS and NMFS. If planned decommissioning activities may affect any federally listed species, designated critical habitat, or Essential Fish Habitat, the PSDAR should discuss those potential impacts. As described in 10 CFR 50.82(a)(4)(i) or 10 CFR 52.110(d)(1), the licensee should determine whether the impacts to these federally protected species and habitats are bounded by other appropriate federally issued environmental review documents, such as biological opinions or biological assessments developed under the ESA. If other appropriate federally DG-1349 Revision 1, Page 14 issued environmental review documents have not bounded the impacts to these federally protected species or habitats, the
