Endangered and Threatened Species; Receipt of Recovery Permit
Applications

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of receipt of permit applications; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, have received
applications for permits to conduct activities intended to enhance the
propagation or survival of endangered or threatened species under the
Endangered Species Act. We invite the public and local, State, Tribal,
and Federal agencies to comment on these applications. Before issuing
any of the requested permits, we will take into consideration any
information that we receive during the public comment period.

DATES: We must receive your written comments on or before May 31, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Document availability and comment submission: Submit
requests for copies of the applications and related documents and
submit any comments by one of the following methods. All requests and
comments should specify the applicant name(s) and application number(s)
(e.g., XXXXXX or PER0001234).
Email: permitsR8ES@fws.gov.
U.S. Mail: Susie Tharratt, Regional Recovery Permit
Coordinator, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2800 Cottage Way, Room W-
2606, Sacramento, CA 95825.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susie Tharratt, via phone at 916-414-
6561, or via email at permitsR8ES@fws.gov. Individuals in the United
States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech
disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services. Individuals outside the United
States should use the relay services offered within their country to
make international calls to the point-of-contact in the United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
invite the public to comment on applications for permits under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.). The requested permits would allow the applicants to
conduct activities intended to promote recovery of species that are
listed as endangered or threatened under the ESA.

Background

With some exceptions, the ESA prohibits activities that constitute
take of listed species unless a Federal permit is issued that allows
such activity. The ESA's definition of ``take'' includes such
activities as pursuing, harassing, trapping, capturing, or collecting,
in addition to hunting, shooting, harming, wounding, or killing.
A recovery permit issued by us under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct

[[Page 25516]]

activities with endangered or threatened species for scientific
purposes that promote recovery or for enhancement of propagation or
survival of the species. These activities often include such prohibited
actions as capture and collection. Our regulations implementing section
10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are found in the Code of Federal
Regulations 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.

Permit Applications Available for Review and Comment

Proposed activities in the following permit requests are for the
recovery and enhancement of propagation or survival of the species in
the wild. The ESA requires that we invite public comment before issuing
these permits. Accordingly, we invite local, State, Tribal, and Federal
agencies and the public to submit written data, views, or arguments
with respect to these applications. The comments and recommendations
that will be most useful and likely to influence agency decisions are
those supported by quantitative information or studies.
