FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Skidmore and Erin Markin,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations governing the taking,
importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR
parts 222 through 226).
The applicant proposes to import and export parts from three
species of angelshark for research into the population genetics and
basic breeding biology. Unlimited samples from the following species
will be imported and potentially exported annually: 800 individuals of
the common angelshark (Squatina squatina) and 40 individuals each of
the other species (sawback [Squatina aculeata] and smoothback [Squatina
occulta] angelsharks). These parts would be from live capture research
activities primarily in the Northeastern Atlantic, but opportunistic
world-wide import and export is also requested. The requested duration
of the permit is 5 years.
Dated: October 31, 2022.

Acting Chief, Permits and Conservation Division, Office of Protected
Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.
