# §550.223. What mitigation measures information must accompany the EP?

- (a) If you propose to use any measures beyond those required by the regulations in this part to minimize or mitigate environmental impacts from your proposed exploration activities, a description of the measures you will use must accompany your EP.
- (b) If there is reason to believe that protected species may be incidentally taken by planned exploration activities, you must include mitigation measures designed to avoid or minimize the incidental take of:
  - (1) Threatened and endangered species listed under the ESA; and
  - (2) Marine mammals, as appropriate, if you have not already received authorization for incidental take as may be necessary under the MMPA.
