ACTION: Notice of availability of permit applications; request for comments; correction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, correct errors in a recently published notice that announced the availability of permit applications for public comment. The notice did not accurately describe all of the applications. However, if you requested documents for review, you need not request them again, because the errors were not in the application materials themselves, but only in our previous Federal Register notice. Therefore, if you submitted comments, you need not resubmit them. DATES: To ensure consideration, written comments must be received on or before May 13, 2016. ADDRESSES: Send written comments by U.S. mail to the Regional Director, Attn: Carlita Payne, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ecological Services, 5600 American Blvd. West, Suite 990, Bloomington, MN 55437- 1458; or by electronic mail to permitsR3ES@fws.gov.
