SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service),
invite the public to comment on

applications for permits to conduct
activities intended to promote recovery
of endangered species. With some
exceptions, the ESA prohibits certain
activities with endangered species
unless a Federal permit allows such
activity. The ESA also requires that we
invite public comment before issuing
these permits.
Background
The ESA prohibits certain activities
with endangered and threatened species
unless authorized by a Federal permit.
The ESA and our implementing
regulations in part 17 of title 50 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
provide for the issuance of such permits
and require that we invite public
comment before issuing permits for
activities involving endangered species.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered or threatened
species for scientific purposes that
promote recovery or for enhancement of
propagation or survival of the species.
Our regulations implementing section
10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are found
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.
