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

ACTION: Notice of receipt of permit applications; request for comments.

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, have received
applications for permits to conduct activities intended to enhance the
propagation or survival of endangered species under the Endangered
Species Act. We invite the public and local, State, Tribal, and Federal
agencies to comment on these applications. Before issuing any of the
requested permits, we will take into consideration any information that
we receive during the public comment period.
DATES: We must receive written data or comments on the applications by
April 24, 2023.
ADDRESSES:
Reviewing Documents: Submit requests for copies of applications and
other information submitted with the applications to Karen Marlowe (see
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). All requests and comments should

in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have
a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access

States should use the relay services offered within their country to
make international calls to the point-of-contact in the United States.
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
[[Page 17604]]
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, subject to the requirements of the 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.
