Requires that certain such recommendations of such Secretaries, regarding proposed mitigation measures, cover both onsite and offsite locations. Requires (currently authorizes) any agency planning the construction of a water resource development project to transfer sufficient funds to the responsible Federal agency to allow it to carry out its responsibility under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act. Requires the United States Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine Fisheries Service (whichever is the responsible Federal Agency) to: (1) compile an inventory of water projects, by categories, for which consultations and recommendations were made under this Act; and (2) select a statistically significant sample of such projects in order to evaluate the extent to which such recommendations were incorporated into licenses or permits, to notify Federal agencies having jurisdiction over such projects of such evaluation, and to evaluate compliance. Requires each Federal agency having jurisdiction over such projects to supply the responsible Federal agency appropriate information. Allows either the Secretary of Commerce or Interior to: (1) participate or cooperate with Federal, State, local, or private agencies in the preparation of certain wildlife conservation plans; and (2) enter into contractural agreements with those parties that provide assurances, consistent with law, regarding the value and extent of habitat to be conserved or enhanced, the mitigation to be provided for the affected wildlife resources, and the nature and extent of habitat modifications which may be permitted in the future. | 2025-01-14T17:12:38Z |
