    The United States Air Force signed a Record of Decision (ROD) on December 22, 2020, to establish an operational squadron of F-35A aircraft under the Air Force Reserve Command at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, Texas. The Department of the Navy had signed the same ROD earlier on October 29, 2020, agreeing with the Air Force's decision. The decision was based on an Environmental Impact Statement and other relevant inputs. This decision makes the Air Force the lead agency and the Navy a cooperating agency in this project.

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service are proposing amendments to the consultation regulations under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. These changes pertain to land management plans by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. The proposed revisions aim to make it clear that when new information emerges which could affect species or habitats in ways not previously considered, reinitiating consultation won't always be necessary, as long as a separate action-specific consultation is conducted for any related actions. The goal is to improve the efficiency and consistency of interagency cooperation procedures.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service want to change some rules to help them work better with other groups like the U.S. Forest Service. They say if they find new stuff about how animals or habitats could be affected, they don’t always have to start all over again to see if everything's okay, as long as they check any new actions separately.
