  1. Writing and Communication. The Contractor shall:
    1. Provide a written assessment of the effects of the action on EFH using the best scientifically available information and provide EFH conservation recommendations to a federal action agency for its action that may adversely affect EFH.
      1. These assessments and recommendations may be combined with ESA consultation documents on the same activities when appropriate, and the contractor shall also assist in this process.
    2. Answer and questions and follow-up on activities with federal agencies once consultations are complete.
  2. Participate in work groups and contribute to activities and other EFH activities as they develop.
