Chapter 8 Review, Coordination, Revision and Next Steps
2012-2025 on the web page https://www.ncwildlife.gov/wildlife-habitat/conservation- restoration-programs/wildlife-diversity-program/wildlife-diversity-reports. Annual reports for older 2007-2011 NCWRC projects funded through the SWG program are also available in PDF format on the web page. When any type of SWAP revision occurs, the SWAP Steering Committee and Technical Team will be convened, and any other appropriate teams or work groups will be formed to complete the effort. Draft material developed for SWAP revisions will be peer reviewed for technical content, made available for public review and comment, and approved by the NCWRC’s Committee of the Whole for incorporation into the Plan before submittal to the USFWS for approval. 8.3.1 Short-term Revisions There are any numbers of issues that can result in a need to revise the document in the short term, and these are expected to be handled as either a minor or major revision to the SWAP. Examples include: • Updating the scientific name of a putative species when identification is confirmed and a species description has been published; • Changes to the federal or state listing status of a species; • Gaining new information through surveys, research, and monitoring that will influence management actions; • Reprioritization of activities following accomplished tasks; • Flaws in how the Plan serves to guide implementation activities that need to be eliminated; and, • Correcting typographical errors in the text or editing images and graphics to correct errors. A short-term revision of the SWAP may be needed in early 2026 after the Plan has been submitted to the USFWS Regional Review Team. The NCWRC is currently working with internal GIS staff to add the new online analysis tool for COAs developed through collaboration with SECAS and described in Chapter 6, Section 6.3.1. This revision to the SWAP is in process and, if completed before the final document is submitted, it will be incorporated into the Plan. If the task is not completed in time to include with this SWAP submittal, the work will be submitted to the USFWS Regional Review Team as a minor revision. 8.3.2 Planned Interim and Comprehensive Revision A comprehensive review and revision will occur within the required 10-year interval based on the publication date of the last comprehensive review and revision. There are many dynamics that will influence future needs and revision requirements; however, based on current USFWS requirements and the submittal of this SWAP revision, the next 10-year comprehensive revision will be due no later than September 30, 2035.
