This new plan is being drafted after a federal judge ruled last year that Wildlife Services broke the law by not justifying an expansion of killing coyotes, mountain lions and other predators.
Wildlife Services, which is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, announced its intention to write the new plan Monday.
The group helps state agencies, like Idaho Fish and Game, to manage predators.
That includes controversial missions in rugged parts of North Idaho that took out entire packs of wolves from helicopters in an effort to help boost elk numbers.
