If this proposal has any potential of decreasing the strength of the current Endangered Species Act, then my opinion is no, do not change the current act.

Major difficulties and issues will arise if this gets approved, from an environmental perspective. It's impossible to streamline authorization process's without negatively affecting the current endangered species policies and procedures. Time is what allows for a smooth flow of operation, making sure all "t" 's are crossed, and "i" 's are dotted. Sure there is a cost, but protecting endangered species should supersede money, always. Multiple items already get missed with the current structure. Increasing approval process's will decrease the quality of the act's mandate.
