7iv7  7,i7 ,in the case of a petition to
 add a species to a list of threatened

warranted but is precluded due to the   
likelihood of significant1 cumulative   
economic effects that would result from 
listing or1 to the extent it can be     
determined1 from the likely resulting   
designation of critical habitat of the  
species4  7,,ii7 ,the ,secretary may not

receives a new petition to add such     
species to such list that includes a    
written qualitative and quantitative

effects of likely actions to protect the
 petitioned species and its potential   
habitat upon each ,state and locality   
that is affected by the petitioned      
species listing and that1 in the opinion

significant1 cumulative economic        

effects4  7,,iii7 ,in this clause the
