Wildlife Service, have received 

applications for permits to conduct 

activities intended to enhance the 

propagation or survival of endangered 

or threatened species under the 

Endangered Species Act. We invite the 

public and local, State, Tribal, and 

Federal agencies to comment on these 

applications. Before issuing any of the 

requested permits, we will take into 

consideration any information that we 

receive during the public comment 

period. 

DATES: We must receive your written 

comments on or before March 7, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Document availability and 

comment submission: Submit requests 

for copies of the applications and 

related documents and submit any 

comments by one of the following 

methods. All requests and comments 

should specify the applicant name(s)

who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing,

Individuals outside the United States 

should use the relay services offered

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite 

the public to comment on applications 

for permits under section 10(a)(1)(A) of 

the Endangered Species Act, as 

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

The requested permits would allow the 

applicants to conduct activities 

intended to promote recovery of species 

that are listed as endangered or 

threatened under the ESA. 

Background 

With some exceptions, the ESA 

prohibits activities that constitute take 

of listed species unless a Federal permit 

is issued that allows such activity. The 

ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes such 

activities as pursuing, harassing, 

trapping, capturing, or collecting, in 

addition to hunting, shooting, harming, 

wounding, or killing. 

A recovery permit issued by us under 

section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA 

authorizes the permittee to conduct 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 6, 2024 / Notices 8235 

activities with endangered or threatened 

species for scientific purposes that 

promote recovery or for enhancement of 

propagation or survival of the species. 

These activities often include such 

prohibited actions as capture and 

collection. Our regulations 

implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for 

these permits are found in the Code of 

Federal Regulations at 50 CFR 17.22 for 

endangered wildlife species, 50 CFR 

17.32 for threatened wildlife species, 50 

CFR 17.62 for endangered plant species, 

and 50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant 

species. 

Permit Applications Available for 

Review and Comment 

Proposed activities in the following 

permit requests are for the recovery and 

enhancement of propagation or survival 

of the species in the wild. The ESA 

requires that we invite public comment 

before issuing these permits. 

Accordingly, we invite local, State, 

Tribal, and Federal agencies and the 

public to submit written data, views, or 

arguments with respect to these 

applications. The comments and 

recommendations that will be most 

useful and likely to influence agency 

decisions are those supported by 

quantitative information or studies.
