[Docket No. FWS–R9–IA–2011–0027; 96300– 

1671–0000–R4] 

RIN 1018–AW81 

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; U.S. Captive-Bred InterSubspecific Crossed or Generic Tigers 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), propose to 

amend the regulations that implement 

the Endangered Species Act (Act) by 

removing inter-subspecific crossed or 

generic tiger (Panthera tigris) (i.e., 

specimens not identified or identifiable 

as members of Bengal, Sumatran, 

Siberian, or Indochinese subspecies 

from the list of species that are exempt 

from registration under the Captive-bred 

Wildlife (CBW) regulations. The 

exemption currently allows those 

individuals or breeding operations who 

want to conduct otherwise prohibited 

activities, such as take, interstate 

commerce, and export, under the Act 

with U.S. captive-bred, live intersubspecific crossed or generic tigers to 

do so without becoming registered. We 

are proposing this change to the 

regulations to strengthen control over 

captive breeding of tigers in the United 

States to ensure that such breeding 

supports the conservation of the species 

in the wild consistent with the purposes 

of the Act. The inter-subspecific crossed 

or generic tigers remain listed as 

endangered under the Act, and a person 

would need to obtain authorization 

under the current statutory and 

regulatory requirements to conduct any 

otherwise prohibited activities with 

them. 

DATES: We will consider comments 

received or postmarked on or before 

September 21, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

To prevent the extinction of wildlife 

and plants, the Endangered Species Act 

of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.) (Act), and its implementing 

regulations, prohibit any person subject 

to the jurisdiction of the United States 

from conducting certain activities 

unless authorized by a permit. These 

activities include import, export, take, 

and interstate or foreign commerce. The 

Department of the Interior may permit 

these activities for endangered species 

for scientific research or enhancement 

of the propagation or survival of the 

species, provided the activities are 

consistent with the purposes of the Act.
