I. Public Comment Procedures 

A. How do I comment on submitted

We invite the public and local, State,

any of the requested permits, we will 

take into consideration any information 

that we receive during the public 

comment period.

administrative record comments we

When submitting comments, please 

specify the name of the applicant and

any scientific or commercial data you 

include. The comments and 

recommendations that will be most

quantitative information or studies; and 

(2) those that include citations to, and 

analyses of, the applicable laws and 

regulations. 

B. May I review comments submitted by 

others? 

You may view and comment on 

others’ public comments at https://

www.regulations.gov unless our 

allowing so would violate the Privacy 

Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) or Freedom of 

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). 

C. Who will see my comments? 

If you submit a comment at https://

personal identifying information, such 

as your address, phone number, or

top of your document that we withhold 

this information from public review. 

However, we cannot guarantee that we 

will be able to do so. Moreover, all 

submissions from organizations or 

businesses, and from individuals 

identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, will be 

made available for public disclosure in 

their entirety. 

II. Background

responsibilities for affected species, and 

in consideration of section 112(4) of the 

Wild Bird Conservation Act of 1992 

(WBCA; 16 U.S.C. 4901–4916), we 

invite public comments on permit 

applications before final action is taken. 

With some exceptions, the WBCA 

prohibits certain activities with listed 

species unless Federal authorization is 

issued that allows such activities. 

Service regulations regarding permits 

for any activity otherwise prohibited by 

the WBCA with respect to any wild 

birds are available in title 50 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations in part 15.

cooperative breeding program permit

changing the lead cooperator from Greg 

Sercel to Christine Touchton.

will make a decision regarding permit
