SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Endangered Species Act of 1973, 

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

seq.), prohibits certain activities with 

endangered and threatened species 

unless 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 recovery permit issued by us under 

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

authorizes the permittee to conduct 

activities with endangered species for 

scientific purposes that promote 

recovery or for enhancement of 

propagation or survival of the species. 

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.

202 of the WOTFA conveyed BLMadministered lands to the Confederated 

Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and 

Siuslaw Indians. Sections 105 and 205

reclassify public domain lands as O&C 

lands in approximately equal acreage 

and condition as the conveyed O&C 

lands. In accordance with sections 

105(c) and 205(c) of the WOTFA, the 

BLM has prepared maps depicting the 

conveyed lands. Also, in accordance 

with sections 105(c) and 205(c) of the 

WOTFA, the BLM has prepared maps 

depicting the reclassified lands. 

As required by the WOTFA, the BLM 

provided opportunity for public 

comment prior to finalizing the 

identification of the reclassified lands. 

Public comment opportunities included 

a 30-day public scoping period and a 

30-day public comment period on the 

environmental assessment developed by 

the BLM to assess alternatives for 

potential lands for reclassification. 

The maps described herein have been 

submitted to Congress and are available 

for public inspection (see ADDRESSES).
