U.S.C. 1531 et seq,; ESA). The ESA and

Background
The ESA prohibits certain activities
with endangered and threatened species
unless authorized by a Federal permit.
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

Permit Application Available for
Review and Comment
We invite local, State, and Federal
agencies, Tribes, and the public to
comment on the following application:
Permit Application Number
TE59243C–0
Applicant: Revive and Restore,
Sausalito, CA.
The applicant requests a permit to
conduct ‘‘Phase 1’’ of a multi-phase
process to generate disease-resistant
black-footed ferrets (Mustela nigripes).
This phase would involve research in
laboratories located in North Rose, NY,
and San Diego, CA. The studies aim to
develop, test, and optimize model
cisgenic and novel disease-resistance
pathways in the black-footed ferret, both
in vitro and in vivo, leveraging domestic
ferret resources for comparative
genomics, comparative proteomics, and
interspecies somatic cell nuclear
transfer (iSCNT) reproductive
techniques for the purpose of enhancing
the species’ survival.
Integration of genetically modified
black-footed ferrets into wild
populations would require careful
execution and constitutes ‘‘Phase 2’’ of
the long-term program.
Public Availability of Comments
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may

If you submit a hardcopy comment that
