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 to conduct certain activities with endangered
species, marine mammals, or both. We issue these permits under the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) and Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA).
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: Tim MacDonald, by phone at 703-358-
2185, via email at DMAFR@fws.gov, or via the Federal Relay Service at
800-877-8339.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(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.)
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
