United States who are deaf, deafblind, 

hard of hearing, or have a speech 

disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or 

TeleBraille) to access

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 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 

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 (CFR) 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.

temporary closure for the 2022 SNORE 

Laughlin Race will take effect at 12:01 

a.m. on December 10, 2022, and will 

remain in effect until 11:59 p.m. on 

December 11, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: The temporary closure 

order, communications plan, and map 

of the temporary closure area for each 

event will be posted at the BLM Las 

Vegas Field Office, 4701 North Torrey
