Endangered Species; Marine Mammals; Issuance of Permits
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of issuance of permits.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), have issued
permits to conduct certain activities with endangered species, marine
mammals, or both. We issue these permits under the Endangered Species
Act (ESA) and Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA).
ADDRESSES: Information about the applications for the permits listed in
this notice is available online at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>. See
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for details.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brenda Tapia, by phone at 703-358-2185
or via email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#753138343327351302065b121a03"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="86c2cbc7c0d4c6e0f1f5a8e1e9f0">[email protected]</span></a>. 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-of-contact in the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service), have issued permits to conduct certain activities with
endangered and threatened species in response to permit applications
that we received under the authority of section 10(a)(1)(A) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the Marine
Mammal Protection Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.).
After considering the information submitted with each permit
application and the public comments received, we issued the requested
permits subject to certain conditions set forth in each permit. For
each application for an endangered species, we found that (1) the
application was filed in good faith, (2) the granted permit would not
operate to the disadvantage of the endangered species, and (3) the
granted permit would be consistent with the purposes and policy set
forth in section 2 of the ESA.
Availability of Documents
The permittees' original permit application materials, along with
public comments we received during public comment periods for the
applications, are available for review. To locate the application
materials and received comments, go to <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> and
