SUMMARY: 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 (ESA). We invite the public and local, State, Tribal, and
Federal agencies to comment on these applications. Before issuing any
of the requested permits, we will take into consideration any
information that we receive during the public comment period.
DATES: We must receive your written comments on or before January 5,

ADDRESSES:
Document availability and comment submission: Submit requests for

<bullet> U.S. Mail: Tiffany Heitz, Regional Recovery Permit
Coordinator, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2800 Cottage Way, Room W-

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tiffany Heitz, via phone at 916-414-

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,
invite the public to comment on applications for permits under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act, 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 or threatened under the ESA.
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA prohibits activities that constitute
take of listed wildlife species unless a Federal permit is issued that
allows such activity. The ESA's definition of ``take'' of wildlife
species includes such activities as pursuing, harassing, trapping,
capturing, or collecting, in addition to hunting, shooting, harming,
wounding, or killing, or attempting to engage in any such conduct.
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. These activities
often include such prohibited actions as capture and collection of
listed wildlife species and removal and reduction to possession of
listed plant species from an area of federal jurisdiction. Our
regulations implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are
found in the Code of
[[Page 55881]]
Federal Regulations 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
Proposed activities in the permit requests in table 1 are for the
recovery and enhancement of propagation or survival of the species in
the wild. 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.
