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.
