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
scientific research to promote
conservation or other activities intended
to enhance the propagation or survival
of endangered or threatened species
under the Endangered Species Act. We
invite the public and local, State, Tribal,

these applications. Before issuing the
requested permits, we will take into
consideration any information that we
receive during the public comment
period.
SUMMARY:
We must receive any written
comments on or before November 4,
2024.

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.
Permit Applications Available for
Review and Comment
We invite local, State, and Federal
agencies; Tribes; and the public to
comment on the applications in table 1.
