The request should set forth the specific reasons why a hearing on this application would be appropriate. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Malcolm Mohead or Jennifer Skidmore at (301) 427–8401. The subject permit is requested under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations governing the taking, importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR parts 222–226). The applicant (Dr. Phillips) is requesting authorization to receive, collect, and import tissue samples of five species of listed sawfish, including smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata), largetooth sawfish (P. pristis), green sawfish (P. zijsron), dwarf sawfish (P. clavata), and narrow sawfish (Anoxypristis cuspidate) to generate genetic data of historic sawfish populations from tissue samples ‘‘collected’’ by researchers from archived rostra or those received opportunistically from saws with known location data held in museums, educational, and private collections. The goals of research are to: (1) assess whether there has been a recent loss of genetic diversity in sawfishes globally, (2) evaluate the long-term survival outlook for sawfishes, and (3) identify locations harboring unique genetic variation which may warrant prioritization in future conservation plans. Tissue samples may include preact or post-act Endangered Species Act (ESA) specimens and will be collected and received from sawfish specimens sourced in U.S. public and private collections or imported from museums and collaborators overseas for a period of 5 years. Up to 800 tissue samples of sawfish specimens will be imported from all noted species annually. As appropriate, samples may also be exported for analysis or returned to former holders as unused samples. Genetic data will be generated for the historic tissue samples and compared to genetic datasets for contemporary populations in Australia, the USA, Papua New Guinea, and Brazil. The requested duration of the permit is 5 years. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 24597 Dated: April 18, 2023. Julia M.
