> Dara, others

> The following summarizes my understanding of the schedule for the

> ongoing ESA Section 7 consultation as agreedto by NRC, NMFS, and

> Entergy on this afternoon's teleconference.

> T (likely July 5; not before July 5) Entergy submits

> information on benthic resources in the action area as discussed on

> the June 22 teleconference (i.e., information on the biofouling

> community at the IP intakes, information on the entrainment of

> amphipods and published studies related to the distribution of the

> benthic community in the Hudson River). Entergy is also to provide to

> NRC any relevant thermal information for NRC's revised BA

> T+20 calendar days (likely July 25, depending on T) NRC

> staff submits BA supplement to NMFS focusing on the assessment of the

> thermal discharge on shortnose sturgeon.

> One month after NRC submits BA supplement to NMFS (likely

> August 25) NMFS provides a draft Biological Opinion (BO) to NRC. In 1

> completing its BO, NMFS will: (a) review the information provided in

> the supplemental BA, (b) incorporate the new information on the

> thermal plume (Swanson et al. 2011, and other sources of information

> as appropriate) into the draft Opinion, (c) incorporate additional

> technical information provided by Entergy on the June 22 conference

> call, (d) make a draft determination as to whether the proposed action

> is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of shortnose sturgeon

> and provide justification for this determination, (e) prepare a draft

> Incidental Take Statement with draft Terms and Conditions and

> Reasonable and Prudent Measures, as appropriate. Following receipt of

> the BO, it is NMFS understanding that NRC will distribute the draft BO

> to Entergy and request that Entergy's comments be submitted to NRC for

> transmittal to NMFS pursuant to 50 CFR 402.14(g)(5).

> Ten calendar days after NMFS provides a draft BO to NRC

> (likely September 6 first working day after Labor Day) NRC

> provides comments from NRC and from Entergy, if any, on the draft BO

> to NMFS at the end of this 10calendar day period.

> If there are no substantive comments, then NMFS prepares the

> final BO within several days of September 6. If NRC or Entergy submit

> substantive comments, then NMFS will either prepare a final BO within

> ten working days (September 20) or NMFS will notify NRC and Entergy of

> a need for additional time.

> I believe that captures our agreedupon timeline, but please reply if

> I've missed or misconstrued anything.

> Best regards,
