khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
for public benefits. While SAVE can
verify that an individual has TPS or a
pending TPS application, each agency’s
procedures govern whether they will
accept an unexpired EAD, Form I–797,
Form I–797C, or Form I–94. If an agency
accepts the type of TPS-related
document you present, such as an EAD,
the agency should accept your
automatically extended EAD, regardless
of the country of birth listed on the
EAD. It may assist the agency if you:
a. Give the agency a copy of the
relevant Federal Register notice
showing the extension of TPS-related
documentation in addition to your
recent TPS-related document with your
A-Number, USCIS number, or Form I–
94 number;
b. Explain that SAVE will be able to
verify the continuation of your TPS
using this information; and
c. Ask the agency to initiate a SAVE
query with your information and follow
through with additional verification
steps, if necessary, to get a final SAVE
response verifying your TPS.
You can also ask the agency to look
for SAVE notices or contact SAVE if
they have any questions about your
immigration status or automatic
extension of TPS-related
documentation. In most cases, SAVE
provides an automated electronic
response to benefit-granting agencies
within seconds, but occasionally
verification can be delayed.
You can check the status of your
SAVE verification by using CaseCheck
at https://save.uscis.gov/casecheck/.
CaseCheck is a free service that lets you
follow the progress of your SAVE
verification case using your date of birth
and one immigration identifier number
(such as your A-Number, USCIS
number, or Form I–94 number) or
Verification Case Number. If an agency
has denied your application based
solely or in part on a SAVE response,
the agency must allow you to appeal the
decision in accordance with the
agency’s procedures. If the agency has
received and acted on or will act on a
SAVE verification and you do not
believe the SAVE response is correct,
the SAVE website, https://
www.uscis.gov/save, has detailed
information on how to correct or update
your immigration record, make an
appointment, or submit a written
request to correct records.

Endangered Species; Receipt of
Recovery Permit Applications
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of receipt of permit
applications; request for comments.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, have received
applications for permits to conduct
activities intended to enhance the
propagation or survival of endangered
species under the Endangered Species
Act. We invite the public and local,
State, Tribal, and Federal agencies to
comment on these applications. Before
issuing the requested permits, we will
take into consideration any information
that we receive during the public
comment period.
DATES: We must receive any written
comments on or before April 24, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Use one of the following
methods to request documents or
submit comments. Requests and
comments should specify the
applicant’s name and application
number (e.g., PER0001234):
• Email: permitsR5ES@fws.gov.
• U.S. Mail: Abby Goldstein,

SUMMARY:
or permitsR5ES@fws.gov (email).
Individuals in the United States who are
deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have
a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY,
TDD, or TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services.
Individuals outside the United States
should use the relay services offered
within their country to make
international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite
the public to comment on applications
for permits under section 10(a)(1)(A) of
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
The requested permits would allow the
applicants to conduct activities
intended to promote recovery of species
that are listed as endangered under the
ESA.
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA
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 such
activities as pursuing, harassing,
trapping, capturing, or collecting, in
addition to hunting, shooting, harming,
wounding, or killing.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
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 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.
