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) at 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
Species
Location
scientific purposes that promote
recovery or enhance the species’
propagation or survival. These activities

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.

by Village and Regional Corporations
under Sec. 11(a)(3) of Alaska Native
Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA), and for
classification. Sec. 22(h)(4) of ANCSA
states ‘‘the Secretary is authorized to
terminate any withdrawal . . .
whenever he determines the withdrawal
is no longer necessary.’’ The purposes
for which these lands were withdrawn
were satisfied by the analysis conducted
during the development of the BLM’s
Kobuk-Seward Pen RMP. PLO No. 5179,
as amended, modified or corrected,
withdrew lands in aid of legislation
concerning addition to, or creation of,
units of the National Park, National
