Dear Mr. Crutchfield:
This responds to your January 25, 1984, letter requesting information on the presence of federally listed or proposed endangered and threatened species in the vicinity of GPU Nuclear Corporation's Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station located in Ocean County, New Jersey.
This consultation request is associated with an application by GPU for a full term operating license.
Except for occasional transiert species, no federally listed or proposed threatened or endangered species under our jurisdiction are known to exist in the project impact area.
Therefore, no Biological Assessments or further Section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act (87 Stat. 884, as amended; 16 U.S.C.1531 et seq.) is required with the Fish and Wildlife Ser-vice.
Should project plans change, or if additional information on listed or proposed species becomes available, this determination may be reconsidered.
This response relates only to threatened and endangered species under our jurisdiction. It does not address other Fish and Wildlife Service concerns under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act or other legislation.
Sincerely, Charle
