TESTING OF THE BCDR PLAN The Service Provider shall test the BCDR Plan on a regular basis (and in any event not less than once in every Contract Year).

If the Purchaser requires an additional test of the BCDR Plan, it shall give the Service Provider written notice and the Service Provider shall conduct the test in accordance with the Purchaser's requirements and the relevant provisions of the BCDR Plan.

Copies of live test data used in any such testing shall be (if so required by the Purchaser) destroyed or returned to the Purchaser on completion of the test. The Service Provider shall, within twenty (20) Working Days of the conclusion of each test, provide to the Purchaser a report setting out: the outcome of the test; any failures in the BCDR Plan (including the BCDR Plan's procedures) revealed by the test; and the Service Provider's proposals for remedying any such failures. Following each test, the Service Provider shall take all measures requested by the Purchaser, (including requests for the re-testing of the BCDR Plan) to remedy any failures in the BCDR Plan and such remedial activity and re-testing shall be completed by the Service Provider, at no additional cost to the Purchaser, by the date reasonably required by the Purchaser and set out in such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the carrying out of a test of the BCDR Plan (including a test of the BCDR Plan’s procedures) shall not relieve the Service Provider of any of its obligations under this Contract.

Adaptive Management This CCAA is based on the principles of Adaptive Management set out in 65 Fed. Reg. at 35,242. The adaptive management process is a structured approach for dealing with uncertainty. The adaptive management process develops hypotheses regarding uncertainty and research to test those hypotheses in an iterative process to develop effective strategies for minimizing the uncertainty. The signatories to this CCAA agree and recognize that implementation of the Conservation Strategy objectives and criteria, Conservation Measures and Actions, and the Covered Area may change as new science emerges. The effectiveness of the Conservation Strategy objectives and criteria, Conservation Measures, Conservation Actions, monitoring methods, and new technologies will be reviewed by the Administrator on an annual basis, with input from the Adaptive Management Committee. The Adaptive Management Committee will be responsible for reviewing and evaluating the effectiveness of Conservation Program under the 2020 DSL CCAA as described in Sections 2.0 and 16.1, including the effectiveness and implementation of the Conservation Strategy, Conservation Measures and Conservation Actions; setting priorities for DSL Habitat conservation and monitoring habitat loss; and recommending changes to any aspect of the Conservation Program based on new science. As a result, appropriate modifications to the Conservation Measures and Actions may be incorporated to further refine the goals and objectives of this 2020 DSL CCAA. Such modifications are incorporated into existing CIs, if they were identified in changed circumstances in the 2020 DSL CCAA. Modifications not related to changed circumstances identified in the 2020 DSL CCAA and instead related to unforeseen circumstances may be incorporated into new CIs that take effect after the modifications have been made and to existing CIs only with written consent from the Participants and Service. Additionally, research projects that are designed to determine the effectiveness of management practices will be encouraged and utilized to determine what Adaptive Management is necessary. Changes resulting from Adaptive Management will flow through the Governance structure as described in Section 2.0 of this CCAA.
