CBAs are a required part of the application for an enhancement of survival permit issued under Section 10(a)(1)(a) of the Endangered Species Act. Enhancement of survival permits allow for the take of threatened and endangered species associated with implementation of conservation actions such as prescribed burning, conservation mowing, or species reintroduction.
