# §100706. Integration of study results into management decisions


The [Secretary](/usc/54/100102.md?p=3) shall take such measures as are necessary to ensure the full and proper utilization of the results of scientific study for [System unit](/usc/54/100102.md?p=6) management decisions. In each case in which an action undertaken by the [Service](/usc/54/100102.md?p=4) may cause a significant adverse effect on a [System unit](/usc/54/100102.md?p=6) resource, the administrative record shall reflect the manner in which [System unit](/usc/54/100102.md?p=6) resource studies have been considered. The trend in the condition of resources of the [System](/usc/54/100102.md?p=5) shall be a significant factor in the annual performance evaluation of each superintendent of a [System unit](/usc/54/100102.md?p=6).
