Voluntary Prelisting Conservation Actions

OMB 1018-0177 · DOI/FWS.

OMB 1018-0177

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (we, Service) is charged with implementing the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (Act). The goal of the Act is to provide a means to conserve the ecosystems upon which listed species depend and a program for listed species conservation. Through our Candidate Conservation Program, we encourage the public to take conservation actions for species prior to them being listed under the Act. Doing so may result in precluding the need to list a species, may result in listing a species as threatened instead of endangered, or, if a species becomes listed, may provide the basis for its recovery and eventual removal from the protections of the Act.

The latest form for Voluntary Prelisting Conservation Actions expires 2027-05-31 and is listed under ICR 202306-1018-002.
