- Talking Points as Prepared for Delivery, Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne’s Announcement of Final Regulations Re: Section 7 of the ESA, 12/11/08
- Final Rule: Interagency Cooperation under ESA, December 11, 2008
- New York Times – “The Interior Department on Thursday announced a rule that has largely freed federal agencies from their obligation to consult independent wildlife biologists before they build dams or highways or permit construction of transmission towers, housing developments or other projects that might harm federally protected wildlife…Environmental groups, including the Center for Biological Diversity, Greenpeace and Defenders of Wildlife, filed suit in federal court to block the rule. And legal scholars said that, given the imminent arrival of a Democratic administration, the change was vulnerable to quick reversal.”
