ii. Notify the Permittee of any proposed or pending transfer of ownership so that the Permittee can attempt to contact the new owner, explain the baseline responsibilities and Certificate of Inclusion applicable to the enrolled property, and invite the new owner to continue the existing Certificate of Inclusion or enter into a new one that would benefit listed species on the enrolled property.
