Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Issuance of
Recovery Permits
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of issuance of permits.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, have issued the
following permits, between January and June 2012, to conduct certain
activities with endangered species. The Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (Act), prohibits activities with endangered and threatened
species unless a Federal permit allows such activity. The Act also
requires that we invite public comment before issuing these permits for
endangered species.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kris Olsen, Permit Coordinator
Ecological Services, (303) 236-4256 (phone); permitsR6ES@fws.gov
(email).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) prohibits activities with
endangered and threatened species unless a Federal permit allows such
activity. Along with our implementing regulations in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR part 17, the Act provides for
permits.
A permit granted by us under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Act
authorizes applicants to conduct activities with United States
endangered or threatened species for scientific purposes, enhancement
of propagation or survival, or interstate commerce (the latter only in
the event that it facilitates scientific purposes or enhancement of
propagation or survival). Our regulations implementing section
10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are found 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.
We have issued the following permits in response to incidental take
and recovery permit applications we received under the authority of
section 10 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Each permit listed
below was issued only after we determined that it was applied for in
good faith; that granting the permit would not be to the disadvantage
of the listed species; and that the terms and conditions of the permit
were consistent with the purposes and policies set forth in the Act.
