Therefore, polar bear critical habitat is not discussed further herein.  \nThe Service has determined the proposed Beaufort Sea ITRs are unlikely to violate section 7(a)(2) of the ESA. Following review of the status and environmental baseline of polar bears and Pacific walrus, and analysis of potential effects of the proposed action on these species, the Service has concluded the proposed action is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of polar bears or Pacific walrus.  \nA complete administrative record of this consultation is on file at the FFWFO, 101 12th Avenue, Fairbanks, Alaska, 99701.
