SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite
review and comment from the public
and local, State, Tribal, and Federal
agencies on applications we have
received for permits to conduct certain
activities with endangered and
threatened species under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and our regulations
in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) at 50 CFR part 17. Documents and
other information submitted with the
applications are available for review,

77871
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5
U.S.C. 552a) and the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552).
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits take of listed species unless a
Federal permit is issued that authorizes
such take. The ESA’s definition of
‘‘take’’ includes hunting, shooting,
harming, wounding, or killing, and also
such activities as pursuing, harassing,
trapping, capturing, or collecting.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to take
endangered or threatened species while
engaging in activities that are conducted
for scientific purposes that promote
recovery of species or for enhancement
of propagation or survival of species.
These activities often include the
capture and collection of species, which
would result in prohibited take if a
permit were not issued. 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
Review and Comment
The ESA requires that we invite
public comment before issuing these
permits. Accordingly, we invite local,
State, Tribal, and 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.
Proposed activities in the following
permit requests are for the recovery and
enhancement of propagation or survival
of the species in the wild.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
invite review and comment from the public and local, State, Tribal, and
Federal agencies on applications we have received for permits to
conduct certain activities with endangered and threatened species under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended
(ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and our regulations in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR part 17. Documents and other

Background
With some exceptions, the ESA prohibits take of listed species
unless a Federal permit is issued that authorizes such take. The ESA's
definition of ``take'' includes hunting, shooting, harming, wounding,
or killing, and also such activities as pursuing, harassing, trapping,
capturing, or collecting.
A recovery permit issued by us under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to take endangered or threatened species while
engaging in activities that are conducted for scientific purposes that
promote recovery of species or for enhancement of propagation or
survival of species. These activities often include the capture and
collection of species, which would result in prohibited take if a
permit were not issued. 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 Review and Comment
The ESA requires that we invite public comment before issuing these
