[Docket No. FWS-HQ-IA-2025-1441; FXIA16710900000-267-FF09A30000]
Endangered Species; 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
the following permits to conduct certain activities with endangered
species. We issued these permits under the Endangered Species Act
(ESA).
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: Timothy MacDonald, by phone at 703-
358-2185 or via email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#a4e0e9e5e2f6e4c2d3d78ac3cbd2"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="a7e3eae6e1f5e7c1d0d489c0c8d1">[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 Service, have issued permits to
conduct certain activities with endangered 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.).
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 comments the Service received, go to <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> and search for the appropriate permit number (e.g.,
