Foreign Endangered Species; Marine Mammal Issuance of Permits
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of issuance of permits.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, have issued permits to
conduct activities with foreign endangered and/or threatened species,
marine mammals, or both, under the authority of the Endangered Species
Act, as amended (ESA). With some exceptions, the ESA prohibits
activities involving listed species unless a Federal permit is issued
that allows such activity.
ADDRESSES: Information about the applications for the permits listed in
this notice is available online at www.regulations.gov. See
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for details.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joyce Russell, 703-358-2023.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, have
issued permits to conduct certain activities with endangered and
threatened 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.; and or the Marine Mammal
Protection Act as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 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 received comments, go to www.regulations.gov and search
