 ACTION: Notice of Issuance of Enhancement of Survival and Incidental Take Permits.
 SUMMARY: Between October 1, 2007, and September 30, 2008, the Pacific Region of the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) issued 10 permits for enhancement of survival or incidental take of threatened and endangered species. These permits were issued pursuant to sections 10(a)(1)(A) and 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Copies of the permits and associated decision documents are available upon request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 9 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 
                    *et seq.*) and its implementing regulations prohibit the take of wildlife species listed as endangered or threatened. The term “take” means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect listed wildlife, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. We may, under limited circumstances, issue permits to authorize take that is incidental to, and not the purpose of, carrying out an otherwise lawful activity. Regulations governing permits for threatened and endangered species are found at 50 CFR 17.32 and 17.22. Although not required by law or regulation, it is our regional policy to notify the public of permits issued for enhancement of survival or incidental take under Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs), Safe Harbor Agreements (SHAs), or Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances. Within the Pacific Region of the Service, between October 1, 2007, and September 30, 2008, we issued 7 permits for enhancement of survival and 2 permits for incidental take of threatened and endangered species subject to certain conditions set forth therein, pursuant to sections 10(a)(1)(A) and 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act. The enhancement of survival permits are associated with SHAs. The incidental take permits are associated with HCPs. We issued each permit after determining that: (1) the permit application was submitted in good faith; (2) all permit issuance criteria were met, including the requirement that granting the permit will not jeopardize the continued existence of listed species; and (3) the permit was consistent with the purposes and policy set forth in the Act and applicable regulations, including a thorough review of the environmental effects of the action and alternatives pursuant to the National 
                    ( print page 13453)
                    Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 
                    *et seq.*). Permit No.
