Correction 

On January 4, 2012, we published a 

Federal Register notice inviting the 

public to comment on several 

applications for permits to conduct 

certain activities with endangered 

species (77 FR 298). We provided an 

incorrect permit number in our 

description of the Feld Entertainment 

application, which starts in the second 

column on page 300. We printed the 

incorrect number of PRT–702230. That 

number should have been PRT–720230. 

All the other information we printed 

was correct. With this notice, we correct 

that error and extend the comment 

period for the Feld Entertainment 

application (see DATES). The complete 

corrected entry for this application is as 

follows: 

Applicant: Feld Entertainment Inc., 

Vienna, VA; PRT–720230 

The applicant requests renewal of 

their captive-bred wildlife registration 

under 50 CFR 17.21(g) for leopard 

(Panthera pardus) and Asian elephant 

(Elephas maximus), to enhance their 

propagation or survival. This 

notification covers activities to be 

conducted by the applicant over a 5- 

year period.
