Field Observations:

The Section 7 Training Blog

Tips and Techniques
Practitioners often have questions about emergency consultations because they usually occur under somewhat chaotic circumstances and don't follow the normal process that non-emergency consultations do... so I've boiled down emergency consultations to a couple of key thoughts...

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned the value of reading preambles in federal register notices to give context to words and processes. While preparing some training materials for my online courses, an example came to mind - the phrases “but for” and “reasonably certain to occur” (sometimes abbreviated to ‘rcto’ just to confuse new practitioners).

An often-overlooked source of insight into the rules and process of consultation are the preambles to regulations. Any time a regulation is put in place, or changed, it has to be published in the Federal Register (the “Government’s Newspaper”) https://www.federalregister.gov/. I have posted what I think are the 3 most relevant Federal Register notices for consultation practitioners on our Resources page.
