SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,

Background

    With some exceptions, the ESA prohibits activities that constitute

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.

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
