You may view and comment on 

others’ public comments at https://

C. Who will see my comments? 

If you submit a comment at https://

II. Background 

To help us carry out our conservation 

responsibilities for affected species, and 

in consideration of section 10(c) of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), 

we invite public comments on permit 

applications before final action is taken. 

With some exceptions, the ESA 

prohibits certain activities with listed 

species unless Federal authorization is 

issued that allows such activities. 

Permits issued under section 10(a)(1)(A) 

of the ESA allow otherwise prohibited 

activities for scientific purposes or to 

enhance the propagation or survival of 

the affected species. Service regulations 

regarding prohibited activities with 

endangered species, captive-bred 

wildlife registrations, and permits for 

any activity otherwise prohibited by the 

ESA with respect to any endangered 

species are available in title 50 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations in part 17.

We invite comments on the following 

application. 

Applicant: Smithsonian National Zoo 

and Conservation Biology Institute, 

Washington, DC; Permit No. 

PER4095187

(Ailuropoda melanoleuca) from the 

Smithsonian National Zoo and 

Conservation Biology Institute to the 

China Conservation and Research 

Center for Giant Panda in Sichuan, 

People’s Republic of China, for the 

purpose of enhancing the propagation or 

survival of the species. This notification 

is for a single export. 

IV. Next Steps 

After the comment period closes, we 

will make decisions regarding permit 

issuance. If we issue a permit to the 

applicant listed in this notice, we will 

publish a notice in the Federal Register.
