of wildlife species listed as endangered
and, by regulation, certain wildlife
species listed as threatened unless a
Federal permit is issued that allows
such activity. The ESA’s definition of
‘‘take’’ includes such activities as
pursuing, harassing, trapping, capturing,
or collecting, in addition to hunting,
shooting, harming, wounding, or killing.
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 in the Code of
Federal Regulations 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, 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.

With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits activities that constitute take

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
invite the public to comment on applications for permits under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.). The requested permits would allow the applicants to

listed as endangered or threatened under the ESA.
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA prohibits activities that constitute
take of wildlife species listed as endangered and, by regulation,
certain wildlife species listed as threatened unless a Federal permit
is issued that allows such activity. The ESA's definition of ``take''
includes such activities as pursuing, harassing, trapping, capturing,
or collecting, in addition to hunting, shooting, harming, wounding, or
killing.
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 in the Code of Federal Regulations 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, 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
