II. Background
To help us carry out our conservation responsibilities for affected

amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), require that we invite public comment
before final action on these permit applications.
III. Permit Applications
A. Endangered Species
Applicant: Feld Entertainment Inc., Vienna, VA; PRT-37444A (Corrected
Application)
On June 23, 2011, we published a Federal Register notice inviting
the public to comment on several applications for permits to conduct
certain activities with endangered species (76 FR 36934). We made an
error by omitting one animal in the Feld Entertainment, Inc.
application, which starts at the bottom of column 3 on page 36934. The
omitted animal is a captive-born tiger (Panthera tigris). All the other
information we printed was correct. With this notice, we correct that
error and reopen the comment period for PRT-37444A. The corrected entry
for this application is as follows: The applicant request a permits to
import, for the purpose of enhancement of the species through
conservation education, one African leopard (Panthera pardus), one
Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica), and seven tigers (Panthera
tigris). The captive-born animals are being imported from
Schweiberdingen, Germany, in cooperation with Alexander Lacey.
Multiple Applicants (New Applications)
The following applicants each request a permit to import the sport-
hunted trophy of one male bontebok (Damaliscus pygargus pygargus)
culled from a captive herd maintained under the management program of
the Republic of South Africa, for the purpose of enhancement of the
survival of the species.
