pursuing, harassing, trapping, capturing, or collecting.
A recovery permit issued by us under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct activities with endangered or
threatened species for scientific purposes that promote recovery or for
enhancement of propagation or survival of the species. 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
Proposed activities in the following permit requests are for the
recovery and enhancement of propagation or survival of the species in
the wild. The ESA requires that we invite public comment before issuing
these permits. Accordingly, 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.
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 be made publicly available at any time. While you can
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.
