This document provides background and general information 

 concerning the section 7 process, but the actual analyses and 

 evaluations of individual actions, and groups of actions will 

 occur in the context of specific consultations on a case-by- case 

 basis. Consequently, details of the approach outlined in this 

 document may vary in a particular consultation; furthermore, as 

 information concerning a proposed action is disclosed, as new 

 information and data concerning salmon become available, or as 

 better models or techniques for analysis and evaluation are 

 developed, significant modifications of this approach can and 

 should be anticipated.
