We invite
review and comment from local, State,
and Federal agencies and the public on
applications we have received for
permits to conduct certain activities
with endangered and threatened species
under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
and our regulations in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR
part 17. With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits activities that constitute take
of listed species unless a Federal permit
is issued that allows such activities. The
ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes
hunting, shooting, harming, wounding,
or killing, and also such activities as
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

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

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, have received
applications for permits to conduct activities intended to enhance the
propagation or survival of endangered species under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended. We invite the public and local, State,
Tribal, and Federal agencies to comment on these applications. Before
issuing any of the requested permits, we will take into consideration
any information that we receive during the public comment period.
DATES: We must receive written data or comments on the applications by
March 23, 2020.
ADDRESSES:
[[Page 9797]]
Reviewing Documents: Documents and other information submitted with
the applications are available for review, subject to the requirements
of the Privacy Act and Freedom of Information Act. Submit a request for
a copy of such documents to Karen Marlowe (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT).
Submitting Comments: If you wish to comment, you may submit
comments by one of the following methods:
U.S. mail or hand-delivery: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Regional Office, Ecological Services, 1875 Century Boulevard, Atlanta,
GA 30345 (Attn: Karen Marlowe, Permit Coordinator).
Email: [email protected]. Please include your name and
return address in your email message. If you do not receive a
confirmation from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that we have
received your email message, contact us directly at the telephone

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Marlowe, Permit Coordinator,
404-679-7097 (telephone), [email protected] (email), or 404-679-
7081 (fax). Individuals who are hearing or speech impaired may call the
Federal Relay Service at 1-800-877-8339 for TTY assistance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We invite review and comment from local,
State, and Federal agencies and the public on applications we have
received for permits to conduct certain activities with endangered and
threatened species under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and our
regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR part 17.
With some exceptions, the ESA prohibits activities that constitute take
of listed species unless a Federal permit is issued that allows such
activities. The ESA's definition of ``take'' includes hunting,
shooting, harming, wounding, or killing, and also such activities as
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.
