Federal Nexus definition
Federal Nexus. A conservation measure implemented on private land that is paid for by the federal government triggers an obligation for the funding agency to consult with the FWS on the impact of the project on listed threatened and endangered species. The consultation is streamlined by the existence of a completed state-wide umbrella agreement. For example, projects funded by Farm Bill dollars (EQIP, WHIP) and NRCS’ SGI program, and Wildlife Services predator control.
