ACTION: Notice of receipt of permit
applications; request for comments.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, have received

activities intended to enhance the
propagation or survival of endangered
or threatened species under the
Endangered Species Act. We invite the
public and local, State, Tribal, and

SUMMARY:

requested permits, we will take into
consideration any information that we
receive during the public comment
period.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.), prohibits certain activities with
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), prohibits certain activities with 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.
