to use agreements with no specified end 

date. Use of such ‘‘renewable’’ 

agreements enables the grantee to 

merely notify affected participating 

UGLGs in writing that their agreement 

will automatically be renewed unless 

the UGLG terminates the agreement in 

writing, rather than executing a new 

agreement every three years. 

Average of 2 new urban counties qualify 

per year 2 × 120 hrs = 240 hrs. 

195 grantees requalify on triennial basis; 

average annual number of 

respondents = 65 65 × 67 hrs. = 

4,355 hrs. 

Total combined burden hours: 4,595 

hours 

This total number of combined 

burden hours can be expected to 

increase annually by 1,200 hours, given 

the average of two new urban counties 

becoming eligible entitlement grantees 

each year.

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

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.
