95-hr-14193 95 hr 14193 Endangered Species Act Amendments Environmental Protection 1978-09-28 1978-09-28 Referred to House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries. House Rep. Beard, Robin [R-TN-6] TN R B000280 2 Endangered Species Act Amendments - Amends the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to establish an Endangered Species Committee. Directs the Committee to review applications submitted by Federal agencies regarding proposed agency actions to determine whether an exemption from the requirement of the Act that Federal agencies take no actions which would jeopardize endangered species or their critical habitats should be granted. Stipulates that such an exemption may be granted only after a public hearing and finding that the benefits of the agency action outweigh the benefits of alternative courses of action consistent with conserving the species or its critical habitat. States that no final determination of the Committee regarding such an exemption shall be considered a major Federal action under the National Environmental Policy Act. Provides for judicial review of any Committee action with regard to an exemption. Declares that no civil penalty shall be imposed for violation of the requirements of this Act if they were committed on a good-faith belief that the violator was acting to protect himself, family member, or any other individual from bodily harm. Authorizes appropriations necessary to carry out the purpose of this Act. 2025-09-02T17:11:39Z
