Reasonable and Prudent Measures and Terms and Conditions In the accompanying biological opinion, the Service determined that this level of anticipated take is not likely to result in jeopardy to the species or destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat. In order to be exempt from the prohibitions of section 9 of the Act, the (agency) must comply with the following nondiscretionary (if any) reasonable and prudent measures and terms and conditions and required reporting/monitoring requirements. The Service believes the following reasonable and prudent measure(s) and terms and conditions are necessary and appropriate to minimize impacts of incidental take of (species): [Add any appropriate RPM/TCs and monitoring and reporting requirements that the project description.

In instances where the amount or extent of incidental take is exceeded, any operations causing such take must cease pending reinitiation. VII. Literature Cited [Section 7(a)(2) of the Act requires biological opinions to be based on "the best scientific and commercial data available."
