Greetings:
Per your request, a species list is being provided via the following email and attachment
Idaho's Endangered, Threatened, Proposed, and Candidate Species
(With Associated Proposed and Critical Habitats)
Under the Jurisdiction of the Fish and Wildlife Service
(This page was last updated September 29, 2010)
The Fish and Wildlife Service is developing a web-based system that wil allow you to generate
your own project-specific species lists. We wil provide instrctions when the new web-based
species list system is launched. In the interim, you are requested to use the attached table in concert
with the area affected by your project, to generate your project-specific species list(s).
Before starting an action, a federal action agency (or their designated representative) that is
planing an activity must contact the Fish and Wildlife Service to obtain information regarding
threatened, endangered, and proposed species and their habitats, which may be present in the area
affected by the project. Federal agencies (or their designated representatives) are to use this
information to generate their project-specific species lists, which facilitate their assessments of
effect via Sections 7(a)(2), (7(a)(3), or 7(a)(4) of the Endangered Species Act, as applicable. Please
note the actual affected area tyically encompasses a larger area than the footprint of the
constrction. The affected area includes any effects of the action (direct and indirect) that may
potentially affect the species or its habitat.
The information contained and attached to this email, meets the Fish and Wildlife Services'
regulatory obligation under Section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act to provide a list of species
at the request of a federal agency. Please print and retain a copy of this table and email with your
project records, and use this information to verify the habitats and/or species present in the area
affected by the projects you are developing. Any project-specific species lists you generate from
1
this email and attachment is valid for up to 180-days.
Because the species information provided via this email may change, you are advised to visit our
internet page (htt://ww.fws.gov/idaho/specieslIdahoSpeciesList.pdt) frequently to ensure that
your project records contain the most up-to-date species list. Should your project plans expand or
change to include additional effects or counties, you wil need to download an updated list and
prepare a new project specific species list for your project.
If you find that you need to submit a request for Section 7 Consultation, please include with your
biological assessment package, a copy of this email and the attached or updated list you used to
generate your project specific species list. This information is needed to document your compliance
with 50 CFR 402. 12(c).
Please note that this information is only applicable for Idaho. If the area affected by the proposed
project extends beyond the boundary of the State of Idaho, please contact the appropriate Fish and
Wildlife Service office listed below, to obtain a species list for their area of jurisdiction.

Candidate Species Conservation:
Although candidate species have no protection under the Act, they are included in the attached
table for your early planning consideration. Candidate species could be proposed or listed during
the species that may occur in the project area; this may expedite section 7 consultation under the
Act should the species become listed.
Species of NOAA Fisheries Jurisdiction:
Please be advised, the attached table does not contain listed or proposed species under the National
Marine Fisheries Service's (NOAA Fisheries) jurisdiction. If you need a list of species under the
NOAA Fisheries' jurisdiction, please visit their internet site at (http://ww.nwr.noaa.gov/Species-
