for a permit to conduct activities 

intended to recover and enhance 

endangered species survival. With some 

exceptions, the Endangered Species Act 

of 1973, as amended (ESA), prohibits 

certain activities that may impact 

endangered species unless a Federal 

permit allows such activity. The ESA 

also requires that we invite public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

With some exceptions, the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.) 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 hunting, shooting, 

harming, wounding, or killing but also 

such activities as pursuing, harassing, 

trapping, capturing, or collecting. 

The ESA and our implementing 

regulations in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) at title 50, part 17, 

provide for issuing such permits and 

require that we invite public comment 

before issuing permits for activities 

involving endangered species. 

A recovery permit we issue under the 

ESA, section 10(a)(1)(A), authorizes the 

permittee to conduct activities with 

endangered or threatened species for 

scientific purposes that promote 

recovery or enhance the species’ 

propagation or survival. These activities 

often include such prohibited actions as 

capture and collection. Our regulations 

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

Permit Applications Available for 

Review and Comment 

Documents and other information 

submitted with these applications are 

available for review by any party who 

submits a request as specified in 

ADDRESSES. Releasing documents is 

subject to Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) 

and Freedom of Information Act (5 

U.S.C. 552) requirements. 

Proposed activities in the following 

permit requests are for the recovery and 

enhancement of propagation or survival 

of the species in the wild. 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.

when submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

SMAC was established August 14, 2001, 

pursuant to the Steens Mountain 

Cooperative Management and Protection 

Act of 2000 (Steens Act) (Pub. L. 106– 

399). The SMAC provides 

recommendations to the BLM regarding 

new and unique approaches to 

management of the land within the 

bounds of the Steens Mountain 

Cooperative Management and Protection 

Area (CMPA), recommends cooperative 

programs and incentives for landscape 

management that meet human needs, 

and advises the BLM on potential 

maintenance and improvement of the 

ecological and economic integrity of the 

area. 

The SMAC’s Public Lands Access 

Subcommittee was established in 2015 

and serves to research, discuss, and 

evaluate any access issue in the Steens 

Mountain CMPA. Issues could relate to 

parking, hiking, motorized or nonmotorized use, public to private land 

inholding routes and methods of travel, 

private to public land access by way of 

easement or other agreement, or 

purchase or exchange of public and 

private land for improved access and 

contiguous landscape. The 

Subcommittee reviews all aspects of any 

access issue, formulates suggestions for 

remedy, and proposes those solutions to 

the entire SMAC for further discussion 

and possible recommendation to the 

BLM. 

On September 23, 2021, the 

Subcommittee will tour the Nature’s 

Advocate, LLC, inholding in the Fish 

Creek area on Steens Mountain. The 

field tour will take all day and ATVs

transportation at all times including 

traditional vehicles as road conditions 

allow, and ATVs or UTVs as otherwise

distances of 1 to 2 miles each way 

across varied terrain. Attending council 

members, agency personnel, and public 

participants shall provide their own 

personal amenities for the duration of 

the field tour, including but not limited
