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.
