Priorities
The Fish and Wildlife Service’s Listing and Recovery Priority Guidelines (48 FR 43098; September 21, 1983) generally afford DPS’s the same consideration as subspecies, but when a subspecies and a DPS have the same numerical priority, the subspecies receives higher priority for listing. The Services will continue to generally accord subspecies higher priority than DPS’s.

Famous quotes containing the word priorities:
“Work though we must, our jobs do not automatically determine our priorities concerning our marriages, our children, our social life, or even our health. It’s still life, constrained as it may be by limited disposable income or leisure time, and we’re still responsible for making it something we enjoy or endure.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
