<DIV>Although it is too premature for ODOT to commit to using the new
FHWA web-based ESA Section 7 consultation website, ODOT expects to "test
drive" this site in the coming months. Depending on the results of ODOT's
exploration of the site, use of the site <U>may</U> become mandatory at some
time in the future for consultants producing ESA documents.
</FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=617283318-13052009><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>With
this in mind, we encourage you to register for one of the July FHWA
webinars on web-based ESA Section 7 consultations as described in the
attachments to this email.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
