U.S. Endangered Species; Recovery
Permit Applications
AGENCY:
Background
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
Notice of receipt of permit
applications; request for comments.
ACTION:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, invite the public to
comment on the following applications
for a permit to conduct activities
intended to recover and enhance
endangered species survival. With some
exceptions, the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (ESA), prohibits
certain activities that may impact
endangered species unless a Federal
permit allows such activity. The ESA
also requires that we invite public
comment before issuing these permits.
DATES: To ensure consideration, please
send your written comments by August
30, 2018.
SUMMARY:
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits activities that constitute take
of listed species unless a Federal permit
is issued that allows such activity. The
ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes
hunting, shooting, harming, wounding,
or killing but also such activities as
pursuing, harassing, trapping, capturing,
or collecting.
The ESA and our implementing
regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) title 50, part 17,
provide for issuing such permits and
require that we invite public comment
before issuing permits for activities
involving endangered species.
A recovery permit we issue under the
ESA, section 10(a)(1)(A), authorizes the
permittee to conduct activities with
endangered or threatened species for
scientific purposes that promote
recovery or enhance the species’
propagation or survival. These activities
often include such prohibited actions as
capture and collection. 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.
Permit Applications Available for
Review and Comment
Documents and other information
submitted with these applications are
available for review by any party who
submits a request as specified in
ADDRESSES. Releasing documents is
subject to the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C.
552a) and Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552) requirements.
Proposed activities in the following
permit requests are for the recovery and
enhancement of propagation or survival
of the species in the wild. We invite
local, State, Tribal, and Federal agencies
and the public to submit written data,
views, or arguments with respect to
these applications. The comments and
recommendations that will be most
useful and likely to influence agency
decisions are those supported by
quantitative information or studies.
Please refer to the application number
when submitting comments.

U.S. Endangered Species; Recovery Permit Applications
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of receipt of permit applications; request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite the public to
comment on the following applications for a permit to conduct
activities intended to recover and enhance endangered species survival.
With some exceptions, the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended
(ESA), prohibits certain activities that may impact endangered species
unless a Federal permit allows such activity. The ESA also requires
that we invite public comment before issuing these permits.
DATES: To ensure consideration, please send your written comments by
August 30, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Document availability: Request documents by phone or email:
Susan Jacobsen, 505-248-6641, [email protected].
Comment submission: Submit comments by U.S. mail to Susan Jacobsen,
Classification and Recovery Division, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
P.O. Box 1306, Albuquerque, NM 87103. Please specify the permit you are
interested in by number (e.g., Permit No. TE-123456).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Jacobsen, Chief, Classification
and Restoration Division, 505-248-6641.
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA prohibits activities that constitute
take of listed species unless a Federal permit is issued that allows
such activity. The ESA's definition of ``take'' includes hunting,
shooting, harming, wounding, or killing but also such activities as
pursuing, harassing, trapping, capturing, or collecting.
The ESA and our implementing regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) title 50, part 17, provide for issuing such permits
and require that we invite public comment before issuing permits for
activities involving endangered species.
A recovery permit we issue under the ESA, section 10(a)(1)(A),
authorizes the permittee to conduct activities with endangered or
threatened species for scientific purposes that promote recovery or
enhance the species' propagation or survival. These activities often
include such prohibited actions as capture and collection. 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.
Permit Applications Available for Review and Comment
Documents and other information submitted with these applications
are available for review by any party who submits a request as
specified in ADDRESSES. Releasing documents is subject to the Privacy
Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) and Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552)
requirements.
Proposed activities in the following permit requests are for the
recovery and enhancement of propagation or survival of the species in
the wild. We invite local, State, Tribal, and Federal agencies and the
public to submit written data, views, or arguments with respect to
these applications. The comments and recommendations that will be most
useful and likely to influence agency decisions are those supported by
quantitative information or studies. Please refer to the application
number when submitting comments.
