Foreign Endangered Species; Issuance 

of Permits 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of issuance of permits. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, have issued permits to 

conduct activities with endangered and 

threatened species under the authority 

of the Endangered Species Act, as 

amended (ESA). With some exceptions, 

the ESA prohibits activities involving 

listed species unless a Federal permit is 

issued that allows such activity. 

ADDRESSES: Information about the 

applications for the permits listed in 

this notice is available online at 

www.regulations.gov. See 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for details. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joyce Russell, 703–358–2023. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, have 

issued permits to conduct certain 

activities with endangered and 

threatened species in response to permit 

applications that we received under the 

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

Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.; ESA). 

After considering the information 

submitted with each permit application 

and the public comments received, we 

issued the requested permits subject to 

certain conditions set forth in each 

permit. For each application for an 

endangered species, we found that (1) 

the application was filed in good faith, 

(2) the granted permit would not operate 

to the disadvantage of the endangered 

species, and (3) the granted permit 

would be consistent with the purposes 

and policy set forth in section 2 of the 

ESA. 

Availability of Documents 

The permittees’ original permit 

application materials, along with public 

comments we received during public 

comment periods for the applications, 

are available for review. To locate the 

application materials and received 

comments, go to www.regulations.gov 

and search for the appropriate permit

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite 

the public to comment on the following 

applications for a permit to conduct 

activities intended to enhance the 

propagation or survival of endangered 

or threatened species. Federal law 

prohibits certain activities with 

endangered species unless a permit is 

obtained. 

Background 

The Endangered Species Act of 1973, 

as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.; 

ESA), prohibits certain activities with 

endangered and threatened species 

unless the activities are specifically 

authorized by a Federal permit. The 

ESA and our implementing regulations 

in part 17 of title 50 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) provide for 

the issuance of such permits and require 

that we invite public comment before 

issuing permits for activities involving 

endangered species. 

A permit granted by us under section 

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

permittee to conduct activities with U.S. 

endangered or threatened species for 

scientific purposes, enhancement of 

propagation or survival, or interstate 

commerce (the latter only in the event 

that it facilitates scientific purposes or 

enhancement of propagation or 

survival). Our regulations implementing 

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

permits are found 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. 

Applications Available for Review and 

Comment 

We invite local, State, Tribal, and 

Federal agencies and the public to 

comment on the following applications. 

Please refer to the permit number when 

you submit comments. Documents and 

other information the applicants have 

submitted with the applications are 

available for review, subject to the 

requirements of the Privacy Act (5 

U.S.C. 552a) and Freedom of 

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). 

Permit Applications 

Proposed activities in the following 

permit requests are for the recovery and 

enhancement of propagation or survival 

of the species in the wild.
