TDD, or TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services.
Individuals outside the United States

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite
review and comment from the public
and local, State, Tribal, and Federal
agencies on applications we have
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 and the Freedom of
Information Act.
Background
The ESA prohibits certain activities
with endangered and threatened species
unless authorized by a Federal permit.
The ESA and our implementing
regulations in part 17 of title 50 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
72097
provide for the issuance of such permits
and require that we invite public
comment before issuing permits for
activities involving endangered species.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered 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.
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.

permit requests are for the recovery and
enhancement of propagation or survival
of the species in the wild.
