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.

ADDRESSES. Our release of documents is
subject to Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a)

Proposed activities in the following
permit requests are for the recovery and
enhancement of propagation or survival
of the species in the wild. We invite
local, State, Tribal, and Federal agencies
and the public to submit written data,
views, or arguments with respect to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
With some exceptions, the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
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.
Permit Applications Available for Review and Comment
Documents and other information submitted with these applications
are available for review by any party who submits a request as
specified in ADDRESSES. Our release of documents is subject to Privacy
Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) and Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552)
requirements.
Proposed activities in the following permit requests are for the
recovery and enhancement of propagation or survival of the species in
the wild. 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. Please refer to the permit record
number when submitting comments.
