Activity
New Mexico .....
Fmt 4703
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
prohibits activities that constitute take
of listed species unless a Federal permit
is issued that allows such activity. The
ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes
hunting, shooting, harming, wounding,
or killing, and also such activities as
pursuing, harassing, trapping, capturing,
or collecting.
The ESA and our implementing
regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at title 50, part 17,
provide for issuing such permits and
require that we invite public comment
before issuing permits for activities
involving listed species.
A recovery permit we issue under the
ESA, section 10(a)(1)(A), authorizes the
permittee to conduct activities with
endangered or threatened species for
scientific purposes that promote
recovery or enhance the species’
propagation or survival. These activities
often include such prohibited actions as
capture and collection. 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.
