  Go to

  http://www.regulations.gov/search/index.jsp

  In the center box (Comment or submission) type "Endangered Species". As of this writing, the top returned find is "Interagency Cooperation Under the Endangered Species Act". If you wish, read the document and how agencies find it "burdensome" and that there is "conflict" between agencies. Poor poor dears.

  Now, click the little comment ballon (very small, you can almost overlook it) to see a discouragingly long form with lots of required fields so as to discourage response. (You are also advised that you can post a letter (which is what I'll probably do) to: Public Comment Processing, Attention: 1018-AT50, Division of Policy and Directives Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 4401 North Fairfax Drive, Suite 222, Arlington, VA 22203

  Signed: Ashamed of, but not surprised by, former Idaho governor Dirk Kempthorne.
