the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as

applicants to conduct activities
intended to promote recovery of species
that are listed as endangered under the
ESA.

ACTION: Notice of receipt of permit

AGENCY:
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,

comment on these applications. Before
issuing the requested permits, we will
take into consideration any information
that we receive during the public

SUMMARY:
17601
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA
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 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.
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.
