Take Estimation and Results Sample Clauses

Take Estimation and Results. The covered activities, including vegetation management, are outlined in the Agreement and include activities that are already occurring as part of routine maintenance and modernization on transportation and energy rights-of-way and associated lands. The Agreement encourages the use of integrated vegetation management and specific tools that promote diverse herbaceous groundcover that is compatible with facility and rights-of-way operations, while supporting habitat improvements for monarchs and other pollinators. The Agreement is intended to improve vegetation maintenance practices (relative to monarchs) within land management sectors that rely upon rights-of-way and their associated facilities. Vegetation management is an on-going practice that focused historically on maintenance, safety and reliability and not traditionally on habitat conservation. We expect ongoing maintenance and modernization of infrastructure outside the Adopted Acre areas to be consistent with pre-Agreement levels (frequency, duration, and magnitude) of impacts. Considering these, the actions undertaken by this Agreement do not pose a significant change from current operations except in the Adopted Acres, whose extent the Adoption Rates will determine. This Agreement formalizes and promotes improvements in operations on the Adopted Acres by promoting conservation measures that adapt the timing, frequency, or method by which Partners will apply them to improve habitat for monarchs. We consider actions that pose threats of loss to other listed animal species to be outside the scope of this Agreement. We think that with a few exceptions, they have already been consulted on under section 7(a)(2) of the ESA and, if not, would not be covered by the Agreement. USFWS consults routinely under section 7(a)(2), for example, with Federal Highway Administration (FHA). For actions that are reasonably certain to result in take of a federal listed wildlife species, USFWS provides incidental take statements along with its biological opinions. The incidental take statements include terms and conditions that, if complied with by the FHA, exempt the anticipated incidental take. We expect that benefits from conservation measures included in this Agreement will outweigh the adverse effects including the injury or death of individuals resulting from both conservation measures and covered activities. The Service’s assessment of the adverse effects or potential risks to the species and its habitat from imp...

  • Expected Results VA’s agreement with DoD to provide educational assistance is a statutory requirement of Chapter 1606, Title 10, U.S.C., Chapter 1607, Title 10, U.S.C., Chapter 30, Title 38, U.S.C. and Chapter 33, Title 38, U.S.C (Post-9/11 GI Xxxx). These laws require VA to make payments to eligible veterans, service members, guard, reservist, and family members under the transfer of entitlement provisions. The responsibility of determining basic eligibility for Chapter 1606 is placed on the DoD. The responsibility of determining basic eligibility for Chapter 30 and Chapter 33 is placed on VA, while the responsibility of providing initial eligibility data for Chapter 30 and Chapter 33 is placed on DoD. Thus, the two agencies must exchange data to ensure that VA makes payments only to those who are eligible for a program. Without an exchange of enrollment and eligibility data, VA would not be able to establish or verify applicant and recipient eligibility for the programs. Subject to the due process requirements, set forth in Article VII.B.1., 38 U.S.C. §3684A, VA may suspend, terminate, or make a final denial of any financial assistance on the basis of data produced by a computer matching program with DoD. To minimize administrative costs of implementation of the law and to maximize the service to the veteran or service member, a system of data exchanges and subsequent computer matching programs was developed. The purposes of the computer matching programs are to minimize the costs of administering the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Xxxx — Active Duty, the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Xxxx — Selected Reserve, Reserve Educational Assistance Program, and the Post-9/11 GI Xxxx program; facilitate accurate payment to eligible veterans or service members training under the Chapter of the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Xxxx — Active Duty, the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Xxxx — Selected Reserve, Reserve Educational Assistance Program, and the Post-9/11 GI Xxxx program; and to avoid payment to those who lose eligibility. The current automated systems, both at VA and DoD, have been developed over the last twenty-two years. The systems were specifically designed to utilize computer matching in transferring enrollment and eligibility data to facilitate accurate payments and avoid incorrect payments. The source agency, DMDC, stores eligibility data on its computer based system of record. The cost of providing this data to VA electronically are minimal when compared to the cost DMDC would incur if the data were forwarded to VA in a hard-copy manner. By comparing records electronically, VA avoids the personnel costs of inputting data manually as well as the storage costs of the DMDC documents. This results in a VA estimated annual savings of $26,724,091 to VA in mailing and data entry costs. DoD reported an estimated annual savings of $12,350,000. A cost-benefit analysis is at Attachment 1. In the 32 years since the inception of the Chapter 30 program, the cost savings of using computer matching to administer the benefit payments for these educational assistance programs have remained significant. The implementation of Chapter 33 has impacted the Chapter 30 program over the past 8 years (fiscal year 2010 through fiscal year 2017). Statistics show a decrease of 23 percent in the number of persons who ultimately use Chapter 30 from fiscal year 2015 to 2016. The number of persons who use Chapter 33 has consistently been above 700,000 in the past four years. VA foresees continued cost savings due to the number of persons eligible for the education programs.‌
