Notice of Receipt of Applications for

Permit

Endangered Species

This notice is provided pursuant to

Section 10(c) of the Endangered Species

Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C.

1531, et seq.) which requires the

publication of a notice of each permit

application received by the Fish and

Wildlife Service. This notification

requirement may be waived in an

emergency situation where the health or

life of an endangered animal is

threatened and no reasonable alternative

is available to the applicant. However,

notice of any such waiver must be

published within ten days following the

issuance of the permit.

Emergency Exemption Issuance

On April 27, 2001, the U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service (Service) issued a

permit (PRT–40800) to the National

Aviary in Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh,

Pennsylvania to export viable, fertilized

eggs of captive bred Manchurian crane

(Grus japonensis) and White-naped

crane (Grus vipio) to the Khiganski

Nature Reserve, Arkhara, Russia. The

fertilized eggs are used in establishing

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 9, 2001 / Notices 23723

reintroduced populations of these two

crane species in Russia and the timely

export of viable eggs is vital to the

success of this conservation program.

The Service determined that an

emergency effecting the survival of the

embryos existed and that no alternative

was available to the applicant.

Therefore, the 30-day public comment

period required by section 10(c) of the

Endangered Species Act was waived.
