III. Permit Applications 

A. Endangered Species 

Applicant: International Elephant 

Foundation, Fort Worth, TX; PRT– 

15923A 

On October 25, 2010, we published a 

Federal Register notice inviting the 

public to comment on this application 

for a permit to conduct certain activities 

with endangered species (75 FR 65505). 

The applicant subsequently submitted 

additional information in support of 

their application; therefore, we are 

reopening the comment period. The 

applicant requests a permit to import 

biological specimens of Asian elephant 

(Elephus maximus) from wild animals 

in all range countries and captive-held 

animals in countries worldwide for the 

purpose of scientific research. This 

notification covers activities to be 

conducted by the applicant over a 5- 

year period. 

Applicant: Tanganyika Wildlife Park, 

Goddard, KS; PRT–25482A 

The applicant requests a permit to 

import four live Cheetahs (Acinonyx 

jubatus jubatus), Bred-in-Captivity for 

the purpose of conservation education 

and captive breeding for the 

enhancement of the survival of the 

species. This notification covers 

activities to be conducted by the 

applicant over a 5-year period. 

Multiple Applicants 

The following applicants each request 

a permit to import the sport-hunted 

trophy of one male bontebok 

(Damaliscus pygargus pygargus) culled 

from a captive herd maintained under 

the management program of the 

Republic of South Africa, for the 

purpose of enhancement of the survival 

of the species.
