could be introduced. The number of licensing activities potentially affected depends on the number of licensing applications tendered in future years, which is difficult to quantitatively estimate. 3. What is an estimate of the level of effort needed to address identified issues in terms of full-time equivalent (FTE) and contractor resources? The staff estimates that an update could require a staff effort of as much as 0.25 FTE, composed of roughly 250 hours of time from one staff ecologist and 100 hours of time from support and review staff. As much as 100 hours of contractor support may also be necessary for peer review and support by contractor ecology staff. 4. Based on the answers to the questions above, what is the staff action for this guide (Reviewed with no issues identified, Reviewed with issues identified for future consideration, Revise, or Withdraw)? Reviewed with issues identified for future consideration. 5. Provide a conceptual plan and timeframe to address the issues identified during the review. The staff anticipates that a review will commence as soon as both RG 4.2 and the ESRP are finalized. The staff presently anticipates finalizing RG 4.2 in early 2018 and finalizing the ESRP in 2019. The staff expects that any necessary update to RG 4.11 could be completed in less than one year following finalization of the ESRP, providing a reasonable allowance of time for public notice and opportunity for public comment.
