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.
In accordance with section 10(c) of the ESA; Executive Order 13576,
``Delivering an Efficient, Effective, and Accountable Government''; and
the President's Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and
