EFH consultation

An EFH consultation refers to the process of satisfying the Federal agency consultation and response requirements of section 305(b)(2) and 305(b)(4)(B) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and the EFH conservation recommendation requirement of section 305(b)(4)(A) of that Act. When completed, an EFH consultation generally consists of: 1) notification to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) of a Federal action that may adversely affect EFH; 2) an EFH assessment provided to NMFS; 3) EFH conservation recommendations provided by NMFS to the Federal action agency; and 4) the Federal agency's response to NMFS EFH conservation recommendations.
