Emergency Exemption: Issuance

On 13 December 1995, a permit, US

809571, was issued to the Southwest

Foundation for Biomedical Research,

San Antonio, Texas to import two serum

samples from one captive-born liontailed macaque (Macaca silenus) from

the Metro Toronto Zoo, Ontario, Canada

for diagnostic virology. The 30-day

public comment period required by the

Endangered Species Act was waived in

accordance with section 10(c) of the

Endangered Species Act. The Fish &

Wildlife Service determined that an

emergency affecting the health and life

of one of the animal’s care-takers existed

and no reasonable alternative was

available to the applicant. The caretaker was bitten on 11 December 1995,

by the animal which is a potential

carrier of the monkey B-virus (Herpes

simiae). The B-virus is lethal to humans

if not diagnosed within the first few

days. Regardless of the test results the

lion-tailed macaque will not be

destroyed.

Written data or comments should be

submitted to the Director, U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service, Office of Management

Authority, 4401 North Fairfax Drive,

Room 420(c), Arlington, Virginia 22203
