The Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et

endangered and threatened species
unless authorized by a Federal permit.
The ESA and our implementing
regulations in part 17 of title 50 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
provide for the issuance of such permits
and require that we invite public
comment before issuing permits for
activities involving endangered species.
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
endangered plant species, and 50 CFR
17.72 for threatened plant species.
Permit Applications Available for

of the species in the wild. The ESA
requires that we invite public comment
before issuing these permits.
Accordingly, we invite local, State, and
Federal agencies; Tribes; and the public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Recovery of endangered or threatened
animals and plants to the point where
they are again secure, self-sustaining
members of their ecosystems is a
primary goal of our endangered species
program and the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (Act; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.). Recovery means
improvement of the status of listed
species to the point at which listing is
no longer necessary under the criteria
specified in section 4(a)(1) of the Act.
The Act requires the development of
recovery plans for listed species, unless
such a plan would not promote the
conservation of a particular species.
Pursuant to section 4(f) of the Act, a
recovery plan must, to the maximum
extent practicable, include (1) a
description of site-specific management
actions as may be necessary to achieve
the plan’s goals for the conservation and
survival of the species; (2) objective,
measurable criteria which, when met,
would support a determination under
section 4(a)(1) that the species should be
removed from the List of Endangered
and Threatened Species; and (3)
estimates of the time and costs required
to carry out those measures needed to
achieve the plan’s goal and to achieve
intermediate steps toward that goal.
The Service has revised its approach
to recovery planning; the revised
process is called Recovery Planning and
Implementation (RPI). The RPI process
is intended to reduce the time needed
to develop and implement recovery
