Potential Third Party Participants. To qualify as a Third Party Participant under the SLCHCP and this Agreement, and obtain take authorization from either one of the three Permittees pursuant to 50 C.F.R. §§ 13.25(d) or (e), the proposed Third Party Participant must sign a Participation Agreement with the Permitted entity before any such take authorization is extended, and assume the obligation to comply with all terms and conditions of this Agreement, the SLCHCP and the Permits. Alternatively, the Permittee must impose, and the proposed Third Party Participant must accept, the applicable terms and conditions of the SLCHCP, the Permits, and this Agreement as conditions of approval of the Third Party Participant’s activity. Provided the proposed Third Party Participant is obligated under an agreement or conditions of approval of the Third Party Participant’s activity to comply with such terms and conditions, the Permittee may extend the take authorization to the Third Party Participant upon issuance of a grading permit for the activity or, if a grading permit is not required, issuance of the first construction permit. Once take authorization has been extended to the Third Party Participant for its activity, the take authorization shall remain in effect with regard to the activity for as long as the Third Party Participant fully complies with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, the SLCHCP, and the Permits. If any of the Permits are suspended or revoked, the USFWS may suspend or revoke any extension of take authorization given to the Third Party Participant under that Permit. In this event, the USFWS will meet and confer with the Third Party Participant to determine conditions under which the Third Party Participant may continue its activities.
