received for permits to conduct certain
activities with endangered and
threatened species under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species
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.
