§17.1 Purpose of regulations.
(a) The regulations in this part implement the Endangered Species Act of 1973, 87 Stat. 884, 16 U.S.C. 15311543, except for those provisions in the Act concerning the Convention on International Trade in Endangered
Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, for which regulations are provided in part 23 of this subchapter.
(b) The regulations identify those species of wildlife and plants determined by the Director to be endangered or
threatened with extinction under section 4(a) of the Act and also carry over the species and subspecies of wildlife
designated as endangered under the Endangered Species Conservation Act of 1969 (83 Stat. 275, 16 U.S.C.
668cc-1 to 6) which are deemed endangered species under section 4(c)(3) of the Act.
[40 FR 44415, Sept. 26, 1975, as amended at 42 FR 10465, Feb. 22, 1977]

§17.2 Scope of regulations.
(a) The regulations of this part apply only to endangered and threatened wildlife and plants.
(b) By agreement between the Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service, the jurisdiction of the
Department of Commerce has been specifically defined to include certain species, while jurisdiction is shared in
regard to certain other species. Such species are footnoted in subpart B of this part, and reference is given to
special rules of the National Marine Fisheries Service for those species.
(c) The provisions in this part are in addition to, and are not in lieu of, other regulations of this subchapter B which
may require a permit or prescribe additional restrictions or conditions for the importation, exportation, and
interstate transportation of wildlife.
(d) The examples used in this part are provided solely for the convenience of the public, and to explain the intent
and meaning of the regulation to which they refer. They have no legal significance.
(e) Certain of the wildlife and plants listed in §§17.11 and 17.12 as endangered or threatened are included in
Appendix I, II or III to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. The
importation, exportation and reexportation of such species are subject to additional regulations provided in part 23
of this subchapter.

§17.3 Definitions.
In addition to the definitions contained in part 10 of this subchapter, and unless the context otherwise requires, in
this part 17:
Act means the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543; 87 Stat. 884);
Adequately covered means, with respect to species listed pursuant to section 4 of the ESA, that a proposed
conservation plan has satisfied the permit issuance criteria under section 10(a)(2)(B) of the ESA for the species
covered by the plan, and, with respect to unlisted species, that a proposed conservation plan has satisfied the
permit issuance criteria under section 10(a)(2)(B) of the ESA that would otherwise apply if the unlisted species
covered by the plan were actually listed. For the Services to cover a species under a conservation plan, it must be
listed on the section 10(a)(1)(B) permit.
Alaskan Native means a person defined in the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 1603(b) (85 Stat.
588)) as a citizen of the United States who is of one-fourth degree or more Alaska Indian (including Tsimshian
Indians enrolled or not enrolled in the Metlaktla Indian Community), Eskimo, or Aleut blood, or combination
thereof. The term includes any Native, as so defined, either or both of whose adoptive parents are not Natives. It
also includes, in the absence of proof of a minimum blood quantum, any citizen of the United States who is
regarded as an Alaska Native by the Native village or town of which he claims to be a member and whose father
or mother is (or, if deceased, was) regarded as Native by any Native village or Native town. Any citizen enrolled by
the Secretary pursuant to section 5 of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act shall be conclusively presumed to
be an Alaskan Native for purposes of this part;
Authentic native articles of handicrafts and clothing means items made by an Indian, Aleut, or Eskimo that are
composed wholly or in some significant respect of natural materials and are significantly altered from their natural
form and are produced, decorated, or fashioned in the exercise of traditional native handicrafts without the use of
pantographs, multiple carvers, or similar mass-copying devices. Improved methods of production utilizing modern
implements such as sewing machines or modern techniques at a tannery registered pursuant to §18.23(c) of this
subchapter (in the case of marine mammals) may be used as long as no large-scale mass production industry
results. Traditional native handicrafts include, but are not limited to, weaving, carving, stitching, sewing, lacing,
beading, drawing, and painting. The formation of traditional native groups, such as cooperatives, is permitted as
long as no large-scale mass production results;
Bred in captivity or captive-bred refers to wildlife, including eggs, born or otherwise produced in captivity from
parents that mated or otherwise transferred gametes in captivity, if reproduction is sexual, or from parents that
were in captivity when development of the progeny began, if development is asexual.
Captivity means that living wildlife is held in a controlled environment that is intensively manipulated by man for the
purpose of producing wildlife of the selected species, and that has boundaries designed to prevent animal, eggs or
gametes of the selected species from entering or leaving the controlled environment. General characteristics of
captivity may include but are not limited to artificial housing, waste removal, health care, protection from predators,
and artificially supplied food.
Changed circumstances means changes in circumstances affecting a species or geographic area covered by a
conservation plan or agreement that can reasonably be anticipated by plan or agreement developers and the
Service and that can be planned for (e.g., the listing of new species, or a fire or other natural catastrophic event in
areas prone to such events).
Conservation plan means the plan required by section 10(a)(2)(A) of the ESA that an applicant must submit when
applying for an incidental take permit. Conservation plans also are known as “habitat conservation plans” or
“HCPs.”
Conserved habitat areas means areas explicitly designated for habitat restoration, acquisition, protection, or other
conservation purposes under a conservation plan.
Convention means the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, TIAS
8249.
Enhance the propagation or survival, when used in reference to wildlife in captivity, includes but is not limited to
the following activities when it can be shown that such activities would not be detrimental to the survival of wild or
captive populations of the affected species:
(a) Provision of health care, management of populations by culling, contraception, euthanasia, grouping or
handling of wildlife to control survivorship and reproduction, and similar normal practices of animal husbandry
needed to maintain captive populations that are self-sustaining and that possess as much genetic vitality as
possible;
(b) Accumulation and holding of living wildlife that is not immediately needed or suitable for propagative or
scientific purposes, and the transfer of such wildlife between persons in order to relieve crowding or other
problems hindering the propagation or survival of the captive population at the location from which the wildlife
would be removed; and
(c) Exhibition of living wildlife in a manner designed to educate the public about the ecological role and
conservation needs of the affected species.
Endangered means a species of wildlife listed in §17.11 or a species of plant listed in §17.12 and designated as
endangered.
Harass in the definition of “take” in the Act means an intentional or negligent act or omission which creates the
likelihood of injury to wildlife by annoying it to such an extent as to significantly disrupt normal behavioral patterns
which include, but are not limited to, breeding, feeding, or sheltering. This definition, when applied to captive
wildlife, does not include generally accepted:
(1) Animal husbandry practices that meet or exceed the minimum standards for facilities and care under the
Animal Welfare Act,
(2) Breeding procedures, or
(3) Provisions of veterinary care for confining, tranquilizing, or anesthetizing, when such practices, procedures, or
provisions are not likely to result in injury to the wildlife.
Harm in the definition of “take” in the Act means an act which actually kills or injures wildlife. Such act may include
significant habitat modification or degradation where it actually kills or injures wildlife by significantly impairing
essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding or sheltering.
Incidental taking means any taking otherwise prohibited, if such taking is incidental to, and not the purpose of, the
carrying out of an otherwise lawful activity.
Industry or trade in the definition of “commercial activity” in the Act means the actual or intended transfer of wildlife
or plants from one person to another person in the pursuit of gain or profit;
Native village or town means any community, association, tribe, clan or group;
Operating conservation program means those conservation management activities which are expressly agreed
upon and described in a conservation plan or its Implementing Agreement, if any, and which are to be undertaken
for the affected species when implementing an approved conservation plan, including measures to respond to
changed circumstances.
Population means a group of fish or wildlife in the same taxon below the subspecific level, in common spatial
arrangement that interbreed when mature;
Properly implemented conservation plan means any conservation plan, Implementing Agreement and permit
whose commitments and provisions have been or are being fully implemented by the permittee.
Property owner with respect to agreements outlined under §§17.22(c), 17.22(d), 17.32(c), and 17.32(d) means a
person with a fee simple, leasehold, or other property interest (including owners of water or other natural
resources), or any other entity that may have a property interest, sufficient to carry out the proposed management
activities, subject to applicable State law, on non-Federal land.
Specimen means any animal or plant, or any part, product, egg, seed or root of any animal or plant;
Subsistence means the use of endangered or threatened wildlife for food, clothing, shelter, heating, transportation
and other uses necessary to maintain the life of the taker of the wildlife, or those who depend upon the taker to
provide them with such subsistence, and includes selling any edible portions of such wildlife in native villages and
towns in Alaska for native consumption within native villages and towns;
Threatened means a species of wildlife listed in §17.11 or plant listed in §17.12 and designated as threatened.
Unforeseen circumstances means changes in circumstances affecting a species or geographic area covered by a
conservation plan or agreement that could not reasonably have been anticipated by plan or agreement developers
and the Service at the time of the conservation plan's or agreement's negotiation and development, and that result
in a substantial and adverse change in the status of the covered species.
Wasteful manner means any taking or method of taking which is likely to result in the killing or injury of endangered
or threatened wildlife beyond those needed for subsistence purposes, or which results in the waste of a substantial
portion of the wildlife, and includes without limitation the employment of a method of taking which is not likely to
assure the capture or killing of the wildlife, or which is not immediately followed by a reasonable effort to retrieve
the wildlife.

§17.4 Pre-Act wildlife.
(a) The prohibitions defined in subparts C and D of this part 17 shall not apply to any activity involving endangered
or threatened wildlife which was held in captivity or in a controlled environment on December 28, 1973: Provided,
(1) That the purposes of such holding were not contrary to the purposes of the Act; and
(2) That the wildlife was not held in the course of a commercial activity.
Example 1. On January 25, 1974, a tourist buys a stuffed hawksbill turtle (an endangered species listed since
June, 1970), in a foreign country. On December 28, 1973, the stuffed turtle had been on display for sale. The
tourist imports the stuffed turtle into the United States on January 26, 1974. This is a violation of the Act since the
stuffed turtle was held for commercial purposes on December 28, 1973.
Example 2. On December 27, 1973 (or earlier), a tourist buys a leopard skin coat (the leopard has been listed as
endangered since March 1972) for his wife in a foreign country. On January 5, he imports it into the United States.
He has not committed a violation since on December 28, 1973, he was the owner of the coat, for personal
purposes, and the chain of commerce had ended with the sale on the 27th. Even if he did not finish paying for the
coat for another year, as long as he had possession of it, and he was not going to resell it, but was using it for
personal purposes, the Act does not apply to that coat.
Example 3. On or before December 28, 1973, a hunter kills a leopard legally in Africa. He has the leopard
mounted and imports it into the United States in March 1974. The importation is not subject to the Act. The hunter
has not engaged in a commercial activity, even though he bought the services of a guide, outfitters, and a
taxidermist to help him take, preserve, and import the leopard. This applies even if the trophy was in the
possession of the taxidermist on December 28, 1973.
Example 4. On January 15, 1974, a hunter kills a leopard legally in Africa. He has the leopard mounted and
imports it into the United States in June 1974. This importation is a violation of the Act since the leopard was not in
captivity or a controlled environment on December 28, 1973.
(b) Service officers or Customs officers may refuse to clear endangered or threatened wildlife for importation into
or exportation from the United States, pursuant to §14.53 of this subchapter, until the importer or exporter can
demonstrate that the exemption referred to in this section applies. Exempt status may be established by any
sufficient evidence, including an affidavit containing the following:
(1) The affiant's name and address;
(2) Identification of the affiant;
(3) Identification of the endangered or threatened wildlife which is the subject of the affidavit;
(4) A statement by the affiant that to the best of his knowledge and belief, the endangered or threatened wildlife
which is the subject of the affidavit was in captivity or in a controlled environment on December 28, 1973, and was
not being held for purposes contrary to the Act or in the course of a commercial activity;
(5) A statement by the affiant in the following language:
The foregoing is principally based on the attached exhibits which, to the best of my knowledge and belief, are
complete, true and correct. I understand that this affidavit is being submitted for the purpose of inducing the
Federal Government to recognize an exempt status regarding (insert description of wildlife), under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543), and regulations promulgated thereunder, and that any false
statements may subject me to the criminal penalties of 18 U.S.C. 1001.
(6) As an attachment, records or other available evidence to show:
(i) That the wildlife in question was being held in captivity or in a controlled environment on December 28, 1973;
(ii) The purpose for which the wildlife was being held; and
(iii) The nature of such holding (to establish that no commercial activity was involved).
(c) This section applies only to wildlife born on or prior to December 28, 1973. It does not apply to the progeny of
any such wildlife born after December 28, 1973.

§17.5 Alaska natives.
(a) The provisions of subpart C of this part relating to the importation or the taking of endangered wildlife, and any
provision of subpart D of this part relating to the importation or the taking of threatened wildlife, shall not apply to:
(1) Any Indian, Aleut, or Eskimo who is an Alaskan native and who resides in Alaska; or
(2) Any non-native permanent resident of an Alaskan native village who is primarily dependent upon the taking of
wildlife for consumption or for the creation and sale of authentic native articles of handicrafts and clothing:
If the taking is primarily for subsistence purposes, and is not accomplished in a wasteful manner.
(b) Edible portions of endangered or threatened wildlife taken or imported pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section
may be sold in native villages or towns in Alaska for native consumption within native villages and towns in Alaska.
(c) Non-edible by-products of endangered or threatened wildlife taken or imported pursuant to paragraph (a) of this
section may be sold in interstate commerce when made into authentic native articles of handicrafts and clothing.

§17.7 Raptor exemption.
(a) The prohibitions found in §§17.21 and 17.31 do not apply to any raptor [a live migratory bird of the
Order Falconiformes or the Order Strigiformes, other than a bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) or a golden
eagle (Aquila chrysaetos)] legally held in captivity or in a controlled environment on November 10, 1978, or to any
of its progeny, which is:
(1) Possessed and banded in compliance with the terms of a valid permit issued under part 21 of this chapter; and
(2) Identified in the earliest applicable annual report required to be filed by a permittee under part 21 of this chapter
as in a permittee's possession on November 10, 1978, or as the progeny of such a raptor.
(b) This section does not apply to any raptor intentionally returned to the wild.

of the Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, at the address listed for the Division of Management Authority at 50
CFR 2.1(b).
(b) The Office of Management and Budget approved the information collection requirements contained in this part
17 under 44 U.S.C. 3507 and assigned OMB Control Numbers 1018-0093 and 1018-0094. The Service may not
conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. We are collecting this information to provide information necessary to evaluate permit
applications. We will use this information to review permit applications and make decisions, according to criteria
established in various Federal wildlife conservation statutes and regulations, on the issuance, suspension,
revocation, or denial of permits. You must respond to obtain or retain a permit. We estimate the public reporting
burden for these reporting requirements to vary from 2 to 21⁄2 hours per response, including time for reviewing
instructions, gathering and maintaining data, and completing and reviewing the forms. Direct comments regarding
the burden estimate or any other aspect of these reporting requirements to the Service's Information Collection
Clearance Officer at the address provided at 50 CFR 2.1(b).

§17.11 Endangered and threatened wildlife.
(a) The list in paragraph (h) of this section contains the wildlife species determined by the Service or the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) of the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (hereafter in this section referred to as “the Services”) to be endangered species or threatened
species. It also contains the wildlife species treated as endangered species or threatened species because they
are similar in appearance to and may be confused with endangered or threatened species (see §§17.50 through
17.52). The “Common name,” “Scientific name,” “Where listed,” and “Status” columns provide regulatory
information; together, they identify listed wildlife species within the meaning of the Act and describe where they are
protected. When a taxon has more than one entry, the “Where listed” or “Status” column will identify its status in
each relevant geographic area. The listing of a particular taxon includes all lower taxonomic units.
(b) “Common name” column. Although common names are included, they cannot be relied upon for identification
of any specimen, since they may vary greatly in local usage. In cases where confusion might arise, one or more
synonyms are provided in parentheses within the “Common name” column. If a species has been listed as an
Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) or a Distinct Vertebrate Population Segment (DPS), the ESU or DPS names
will be provided in brackets “[ ]” following the common name.
(c) “Scientific name” column. The Services use the most recently accepted scientific name. In cases where
confusion might arise, one or more synonyms are provided in parentheses within the “Scientific name” column.
The Services rely, to the extent practicable, on the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) to determine a
species' scientific name. ITIS incorporates the naming principles established by the International Code of
Zoological Nomenclature (see paragraph (g) of this section). If the scientific name in ITIS differs from the scientific
name adopted for use under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and
Flora (CITES), the CITES nomenclature is provided in brackets “[ ]” within the “Scientific name” column following
the ITIS nomenclature.
(d) “Where listed” column. The “Where listed” column sets forth the geographic area where the species is listed for
purposes of the Act. Except when providing a geographic description of a DPS or ESU, or an experimental
population designation, “Wherever found” will be used to indicate the Act's protections apply to all individuals of
the species, wherever found.
(e) “Status” column. Within the “Status” column, the following abbreviations are used:
Abbreviation

Threatened based on similarity of appearance to an existing listed species.
Essential experimental population (See subpart H of this part).
Nonessential experimental population (See subpart H of this part).
(f) “Listing Citations and Applicable Rules” column. The “Listing Citations and Applicable Rules” column is
nonregulatory in nature and is provided for informational and navigational purposes only.
(1) Within the “Listing Citations and Applicable Rules” column, the following superscripts are used:
SuperscriptDescription of citation or rule
N
NMFS listing citation (NMFS Lead).
J
Both FWS and NMFS listing citation (Joint Jurisdiction).
CH
Critical habitat rule.
4d
Species-specific “4(d)” rule (a rule issued under the authority of section 4(d) of the Act).
Species-specific “10(j)” rule (a rule issued under the authority of section 10(j) of the
10j
Act).
(2) Listing citations contain the volume, document starting page number, and publication date of the Federal
Register publication(s) in which a species was given status, listed, or reclassified. At least since 1973, these
documents have included a statement indicating the basis for the listing, as well as the effective date(s) of the
listing or other rules that changed how the species was identified in the List in paragraph (h) of this section.
(3) “Critical habitat” and “Species-specific” rules superscripts provide cross-references to other sections in this part
or part 222, 223, or 226 of chapter II of this title where critical habitat and species-specific rules are found. The
species-specific superscripts also identify experimental populations. Experimental populations (superscript “10j”)
are a separate citation, with one of the following symbols in the “Status” column: “XE” for an essential experimental
population and “XN” for a nonessential experimental population.
(4) This column is for reference and navigational purposes only. All other appropriate rules in this part, parts 217
through 226 of chapter II of this title, and part 402 of chapter IV of this title apply, if no species-specific rules are
referenced. In addition, other rules in this title could relate to such species (for example, port-of-entry
requirements). The references in the “Listing Citations and Applicable Rules” column do not comprise a
comprehensive list of all regulations that the Services might apply to the species or to the regulations of other
Federal agencies or State or local governments.
(g) The Services will rely to the extent practicable on ITIS (http://www.itis.gov) and standard references adopted for
CITES (http://cites.org).

§17.12 Endangered and threatened plants.
(a) The list in paragraph (h) of this section contains the plant species determined by the Service or the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) of the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (hereafter in this section referred to as “the Services”) to be endangered species or threatened
species. It also contains the plant species treated as endangered or threatened because they are similar in
appearance to and may be confused with endangered or threatened species (see §§17.50 through 17.52). The
“Common name,” “Scientific name,” “Where listed,” and “Status” columns provide regulatory information; together,
they identify listed plant species within the meaning of the Act and describe where they are protected. When a
taxon has more than one entry, the “Where listed” or “Status” column will identify its status in each relevant
geographic area. The listing of a particular taxon includes all lower taxonomic units.
(b) “Scientific name” column. The Services use the most recently accepted scientific name. In cases where
confusion might arise, one or more synonyms are provided in parentheses within the “Scientific name” column.
The Services will rely to the extent practicable on the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) to determine
a species' scientific name. ITIS incorporates the naming principles established by the International Code of
Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (see paragraph (g) of this section). If the scientific name in ITIS differs
from the scientific name adopted for use under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of
Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), the CITES nomenclature will be provided in brackets “[ ]” within the “Scientific
name” column following the ITIS nomenclature.
(c) “Common name” column. Although common names are included, they cannot be relied upon for identification
of any specimen, since they may vary greatly in local usage. In cases where confusion might arise, one or more
synonyms are provided in parentheses within the “Common name” column.
(d) “Where listed” column. The “Where listed” column sets forth the geographic area where the species is listed for
purposes of the Act. Except when providing a geographic description of an experimental population designation,
“Wherever found” will be used to indicate the Act's protections apply to all individuals of the species, wherever
found.
(e) “Status” column. Within the “Status” column, the following abbreviations are used:
Abbreviation
E
T
E (S/A)
T (S/A)
XE
XN
Regulatory status the abbreviation represents
Endangered species.
Threatened species.
Endangered based on similarity of appearance to an existing listed species.
Threatened based on similarity of appearance to an existing listed species.
Essential experimental population (See subpart H of this part).
Nonessential experimental population (See subpart H of this part).
(f) “Listing Citations and Applicable Rules” column. The “Listing Citations and Applicable Rules” column is
nonregulatory in nature and is provided for informational and navigational purposes only. Please note that the
sections of part 17 that include designations of critical habitat for plants are organized by family name. A link to the
Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS), which displays the taxonomic hierarchy of a species, including its
family name, is provided on each species' profile page accessible through the Service's Web site
(http://www.fws.gov/endangered/) or information is available directly through the ITIS (http://www.itis.gov/).
(1) Within the “Listing Citations and Applicable Rules” column, the following superscripts are used:
SuperscriptDescription of citation or rule
N
NMFS listing citation (NMFS Lead).
J
Both FWS and NMFS listing citation (Joint Jurisdiction).
CH
Critical habitat rule.
4d
Species-specific “4(d)” rule (a rule issued under the authority of section 4(d) of the Act).
Species-specific “10(j)” rule (a rule issued under the authority of section 10(j) of the
10j
Act).
(2) Listing citations contain the volume, document starting page number, and publication date of the Federal
Register publication(s) in which a species' status was assessed. At least since 1973, these documents have
included a statement indicating the basis for the listing or reclassification, as well as the effective date(s) of the
listing or other rules that changed how the species was identified in the list in paragraph (h) of this section.
(3) “Critical habitat” and “Species-specific” rules superscripts provide cross-references to other sections in part 17
or part 222, 223, or 226 of chapter II of this title where critical habitat and species-specific rules are found. The
species-specific superscripts also identify experimental populations. Experimental populations (superscript “10j”)
are a separate citation, with one of the following symbols in the “Status” column: “XE” for an essential experimental
population and “XN” for a nonessential experimental population.
(4) This column is for reference and navigational purposes only. All other appropriate rules in part 17, parts 217
through 226 of chapter II of this title, and part 402 of chapter IV of this title apply, if no species-specific rules are
referenced. In addition, other rules in this title could relate to such species (for example, port-of-entry
requirements). The references in the “Listing Citations and Applicable Rules” column do not comprise a
comprehensive list of all regulations that the Services might apply to the species or to the regulations of other
Federal agencies or State or local governments.
(g) The Services will rely to the extent practicable on ITIS (http://www.itis.gov) and standard references adopted for
CITES (http://cites.org).

Subpart C—Endangered Wildlife
return arrow Back to Top
§17.21 Prohibitions.
(a) Except as provided in subpart A of this part, or under permits issued pursuant to §17.22 or §17.23, it is unlawful
for any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to commit, to attempt to commit, to solicit another to
commit or to cause to be committed, any of the acts described in paragraphs (b) through (f) of this section in
regard to any endangered wildlife.
(b) Import or export. It is unlawful to import or to export any endangered wildlife. Any shipment in transit through
the United States is an importation and an exportation, whether or not it has entered the country for customs
purposes.
(c) Take. (1) It is unlawful to take endangered wildlife within the United States, within the territorial sea of the
United States, or upon the high seas. The high seas shall be all waters seaward of the territorial sea of the United
States, except waters officially recognized by the United States as the territorial sea of another country, under
international law.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (c)(1) of this section, any person may take endangered wildlife in defense of his
own life or the lives of others.
(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (c)(1) of this section, any employee or agent of the Service, any other Federal land
management agency, the National Marine Fisheries Service, or a State conservation agency, who is designated by
his agency for such purposes, may, when acting in the course of his official duties, take endangered wildlife
without a permit if such action is necessary to:
(i) Aid a sick, injured or orphaned specimen; or
(ii) Dispose of a dead specimen; or
(iii) Salvage a dead specimen which may be useful for scientific study; or
(iv) Remove specimens which constitute a demonstrable but nonimmediate threat to human safety, provided that
the taking is done in a humane manner; the taking may involve killing or injuring only if it has not been reasonably
possible to eliminate such threat by live-capturing and releasing the specimen unharmed, in a remote area.
(4) Any taking under paragraphs (c)(2) and (3) of this section must be reported in writing to the Office of Law
Enforcement, at the address provided at 50 CFR 2.1(b), within 5 days. The specimen may only be retained,
disposed of, or salvaged under directions from the Office of Law Enforcement.
(5) Notwithstanding paragraph (c)(1) of this section, any qualified employee or agent of a State Conservation
Agency which is a party to a Cooperative Agreement with the Service in accordance with section 6(c) of the Act,
who is designated by his agency for such purposes, may, when acting in the course of his official duties take those
endangered species which are covered by an approved cooperative agreement for conservation programs in
accordance with the Cooperative Agreement, provided that such taking is not reasonably anticipated to result in:
(i) The death or permanent disabling of the specimen;
(ii) The removal of the specimen from the State where the taking occurred;
(iii) The introduction of the specimen so taken, or of any progeny derived from such a specimen, into an area
beyond the historical range of the species; or
(iv) The holding of the specimen in captivity for a period of more than 45 consecutive days.
(6) Notwithstanding paragraph (c)(1) of this section, any person acting under a valid migratory bird rehabilitation
permit issued pursuant to §21.31 of this subchapter may take endangered migratory birds without an endangered
species permit if such action is necessary to aid a sick, injured, or orphaned endangered migratory bird, provided
the permittee:
(i) Notifies the issuing Migratory Bird Permit Office immediately upon receipt of such bird (contact information for
your issuing office is listed on your permit and on the Internet at http://offices.fws.gov); and
(ii) Disposes of or transfers such birds, or their parts or feathers, as directed by the Migratory Bird Permit Office.
(7) Notwithstanding paragraph (c)(1) of this section, persons exempt from the permit requirements of §21.12(c)
and (d) of this subchapter may take sick and injured endangered migratory birds without an endangered species
permit in performing the activities authorized under §21.12(c) and (d).
(d) Possession and other acts with unlawfully taken wildlife. (1) It is unlawful to possess, sell, deliver, carry,
transport, or ship, by any means whatsoever, any endangered wildlife which was taken in violation of paragraph (c)
of this section.
Example. A person captures a whooping crane in Texas and gives it to a second person, who puts it in a closed
van and drives thirty miles, to another location in Texas. The second person then gives the whooping crane to a
third person, who is apprehended with the bird in his possession. All three have violated the law—the first by
illegally taking the whooping crane; the second by transporting an illegally taken whooping crane; and the third by
possessing an illegally taken whooping crane.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (d)(1) of this section, Federal and State law enforcement officers may possess,
deliver, carry, transport or ship any endangered wildlife taken in violation of the Act as necessary in performing
their official duties.
(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (d)(1) of this section, any person acting under a valid migratory bird rehabilitation
permit issued pursuant to §21.31 of this subchapter may possess and transport endangered migratory birds
without an endangered species permit when such action is necessary to aid a sick, injured, or orphaned
endangered migratory bird, provided the permittee:
(i) Notifies the issuing Migratory Bird Permit Office immediately upon receipt of such bird (contact information for
your issuing office is listed on your permit and on the Internet at http://offices.fws.gov); and
(ii) Disposes of or transfers such birds, or their parts or feathers, as directed by the Migratory Bird Permit Office.
(4) Notwithstanding paragraph (d)(1) of this section, persons exempt from the permit requirements of §21.12(c)
and (d) of this subchapter may possess and transport sick and injured endangered migratory bird species without
an endangered species permit in performing the activities authorized under §21.12(c) and (d).
(e) Interstate or foreign commerce. It is unlawful to deliver, receive, carry transport, or ship in interstate or foreign
commerce, by any means whatsoever, and in the course of a commercial activity, any endangered wildlife.
(f) Sale or offer for sale. (1) It is unlawful to sell or to offer for sale in interstate or foreign commerce any
endangered wildlife.
(2) An advertisement for the sale of endangered wildlife which carries a warning to the effect that no sale may be
consummated until a permit has been obtained from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shall not be considered an
offer for sale within the meaning of this section.
(g) Captive-bred wildlife. (1) Notwithstanding paragraphs (b), (c), (e) and (f) of this section, any person may take;
export or re-import; deliver, receive, carry, transport or ship in interstate or foreign commerce, in the course of a
commercial activity; or sell or offer for sale in interstate or foreign commerce any endangered wildlife that is bred in
captivity in the United States provided either that the wildlife is of a taxon listed in paragraph (g)(6) of this section,
or that the following conditions are met:
(i) The wildlife is of a species having a natural geographic distribution not including any part of the United States,
or the wildlife is of a species that the Director has determined to be eligible in accordance with paragraph (g)(5) of
this section;
(ii) The purpose of such activity is to enhance the propagation or survival of the affected species;
(iii) Such activity does not involve interstate or foreign commerce, in the course of a commercial activity, with
respect to non-living wildlife;
(iv) Each specimen of wildlife to be re-imported is uniquely identified by a band, tattoo or other means that was
reported in writing to an official of the Service at a port of export prior to export from the United States; and
(v) Any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States who engages in any of the activities authorized by
this paragraph does so in accordance with paragraphs (g) (2), (3) and (4) of this section, and with all other
applicable regulations in this Subchapter B.
(2) Any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States seeking to engage in any of the activities authorized
by this paragraph must first register with the Service's Division of Management Authority at the address provided
at 50 CFR 2.1(b). Requests for registration must be submitted on an official application form (Form 3-200-41)
provided by the Service, and must include the following information:
(i) The types of wildlife sought to be covered by the registration, identified by common and scientific name to the
taxonomic level of family, genus or species;
(ii) A description of the applicant's experience in maintaining and propagating the types of wildlife sought to be
covered by the registration, and when appropriate, in conducting research directly related to maintaining and
propagating such wildlife;
(iii) Photograph(s) or other evidence clearly depicting the facilities where such wildlife will be maintained; and
(iv) a copy of the applicant's license or registration, if any, under the animal welfare regulations of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (9 CFR part 2).
(3) Upon receipt of a complete application for registration, or the renewal or amendment of an existing registration,
under this section, the Service will publish notice of the application in the Federal Register. Each notice will invite
the submission from interested parties, within 30 days after the date of the notice, of written data, views, or
arguments with respect to the application. All information received as part of each application will be made
available to the public, upon request, as a matter of public record at every stage of the proceeding, including, but
not limited to, information needed to assess the eligibility of the applicant, such as the original application,
materials, any intervening renewal applications documenting a change in location or personnel, and the most
recent annual report.
(i) At the completion of this comment period, the Director will decide whether to approve the registration. In making
this decision, the Director will consider, in addition to the general criteria in §13.21(b) of this subchapter, whether
the expertise, facilities, or other resources available to the applicant appear adequate to enhance the propagation
or survival of the affected wildlife. Public education activities may not be the sole basis to justify issuance of a
registration or to otherwise establish eligibility for the exception granted in paragraph (g)(1) of this section.
(ii) If the Director approves the registration, the Service will publish notice of the decision in the Federal
Registerthat the registration was applied for in good faith, that issuing the registration will not operate to the
disadvantage of the species for which registration was sought, and that issuing the registration will be consistent
with the purposes and policy set forth in section 2 of the Act.
(iii) Each person so registered must maintain accurate written records of activities conducted under the registration
and allow reasonable access to Service agents for inspection purposes as set forth in §§13.46 and 13.47 of this
chapter. Each person so registered must also submit to the Director an individual written annual report of activities,
including all births, deaths, and transfers of any type.
(4) Any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States seeking to export or conduct foreign commerce in
captive-bred endangered wildlife that will not remain under the care of that person must first obtain approval by
providing written evidence to satisfy the Director that the proposed recipient of the wildlife has expertise, facilities
or other resources adequate to enhance the propagation or survival of such wildlife and that the proposed recipient
will use such wildlife for purposes of enhancing the propagation or survival of the affected species.
(5)(i) The Director will use the following criteria to determine if wildlife of any species having a natural geographic
distribution that includes any part of the United States is eligible for the provisions of this paragraph:
(A) Whether there is a low demand for taking of the species from wild populations, either because of the success
of captive breeding or because of other reasons, and
(B) Whether the wild populations of the species are effectively protected from unauthorized taking as a result of
the inaccessibility of their habitat to humans or as a result of the effectiveness of law enforcement.
(ii) The Director will follow the procedures set forth in the Act and in the regulations thereunder with respect to
petitions and notification of the public and governors of affected States when determining the eligibility of species
for purposes of this paragraph.
(iii) In accordance with the criteria in paragraph (g)(5)(i) of this section, the Director has determined the following
species to be eligible for the provisions of this paragraph:
Laysan duck (Anas laysanensis).
(6) Exemption from registration requirement. (i) If the conditions in paragraph (g)(6)(ii) of this section are met, then
any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States seeking to engage in any of the activities authorized by
paragraph (g)(1) of this section may do so without first registering with the Service with respect to the following
species:

(D) The white-winged wood duck (Cairina scutulata).
(ii) Conditions for exemption to register. The following conditions must exist for persons dealing with the species
listed in paragraph (g)(6)(i) of this section to be eligible for exemption from the requirement to register with the
Service:
(A) The purpose of the activity is to enhance the propagation or survival of the affected exempted species.
(B) Such activity does not involve interstate or foreign commerce, in the course of a commercial activity, with
respect to nonliving wildlife.
(C) Each specimen to be reimported is uniquely identified by a band, tattoo, or other means that was reported in
writing to an official of the Service at a port of export prior to export of the specimen from the United States.
(D) No specimens of the taxa in paragraph (g)(6)(i) of this section that were taken from the wild may be imported
for breeding purposes absent a definitive showing that the need for new bloodlines can be met only by wild
specimens, that suitable foreign-bred, captive individuals are unavailable, and that wild populations can sustain
limited taking. In addition, an import permit must be issued under §17.22.
(E) Any permanent exports of such specimens meet the requirements of paragraph (g)(4) of this section.
(F) Each person claiming the benefit of the exception in paragraph (g)(1) of this section must maintain accurate

receive, carry, transport or ship in interstate or foreign commerce, in the course of a commercial activity; or sell or
offer for sale in interstate or foreign commerce live wildlife, including embryos and gametes, and sport-hunted
trophies of scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dammah), addax (Addax nasomaculatus), and dama gazelle (Gazella
dama) provided:
(1) The purpose of such activity is associated with the management or transfer of live wildlife, including embryos
and gametes, or sport hunting in a manner that contributes to increasing or sustaining captive numbers or to
potential reintroduction to range countries;
(2) The specimen was captive-bred, in accordance with §17.3, within the United States;
(3) All live specimens of that species held by the captive-breeding operation are managed in a manner that

§17.22 Permits for scientific purposes,
enhancement of propagation or survival, or for
incidental taking.
Upon receipt of a complete application, the Director may issue a permit authorizing any activity otherwise
prohibited by §17.21, in accordance with the issuance criteria of this section, for scientific purposes, for enhancing
the propagation or survival, or for the incidental taking of endangered wildlife. Such permits may authorize a single
transaction, a series of transactions, or a number of activities over a specific period of time. (See §17.32 for
permits for threatened species.) The Director shall publish notice in the Federal Register of each application for a
permit that is made under this section. Each notice shall invite the submission from interested parties, within 30
days after the date of the notice, of written data, views, or arguments with respect to the application. The 30-day
period may be waived by the Director in an emergency situation where the life or health of an endangered animal
is threatened and no reasonable alternative is available to the applicant. Notice of any such waiver shall be
published in the Federal Register within 10 days following issuance of the permit.
(a)(1) Application requirements for permits for scientific purposes or for the enhancement of propagation or
survival.A person wishing to get a permit for an activity prohibited by §17.21 submits an application for activities
under this paragraph. The Service provides Form 3-200 for the application to which all of the following must be
attained:
(i) The common and scientific names of the species sought to the covered by the permit, as well as the number,
age, and sex of such species, and the activity sought to be authorized (such as taking, exporting, selling in
interstate commerce);
(ii) A statement as to whether, at the time of application, the wildlife sought to be covered by the permit (A) is still in
the wild, (B) has already been removed from the wild, or (C) was born in captivity;
(iii) A resume of the applicant's attempts to obtain the wildlife sought to be covered by the permit in a manner
which would not cause the death or removal from the wild of such wildlife;
(iv) If the wildlife sought to be covered by the permit has already been removed from the wild, the country and
place where such removal occurred; if the wildlife sought to be covered by the permit was born in captivity, the
country and place where such wildlife was born;
(v) A complete description and address of the institution or other facility where the wildlife sought to be covered by
the permit will be used, displayed, or maintained;
(vi) If the applicant seeks to have live wildlife covered by the permit, a complete description, including photographs
or diagrams, of the facilities to house and/or care for the wildlife and a resume of the experience of those person
who will be caring for the wildlife;
(vii) A full statement of the reasons why the applicant is justified in obtaining a permit including the details of the
activities sought to be authorized by the permit;
(viii) If the application is for the purpose of enhancement of propagation, a statement of the applicant's willingness
to participate in a cooperative breeding program and to maintain or contribute data to a studbook;
(2) Issuance criteria. Upon receiving an application completed in accordance with paragraph (a)(1) of this section,
the Director will decide whether or not a permit should be issued. In making this decision, the Director shall
consider, in addition to the general criteria in §13.21(b) of this subchapter, the following factors:
(i) Whether the purpose for which the permit is required is adequate to justify removing from the wild or otherwise
changing the status of the wildlife sought to be covered by the permit;
(ii) The probable direct and indirect effect which issuing the permit would have on the wild populations of the
wildlife sought to be covered by the permit;
(iii) Whether the permit, if issued, would in any way, directly or indirectly, conflict with any known program intended
to enhance the survival probabilities of the population from which the wildlife sought to be covered by the permit
was or would be removed;
(iv) Whether the purpose for which the permit is required would be likely to reduce the threat of extinction facing
the species of wildlife sought to be covered by the permit;
(v) The opinions or views of scientists or other persons or organizations having expertise concerning the wildlife or
other matters germane to the application; and
(vi) Whether the expertise, facilities, or other resources available to the applicant appear adequate to successfully
accomplish the objectives stated in the application.
(3) Permit conditions. In addition to the general conditions set forth in part 13 of this subchapter, every permit
issued under this paragraph shall be subject to the special condition that the escape of living wildlife covered by
the permit shall be immediately reported to the Service office designated in the permit.
(4) Duration of permits. The duration of permits issued under this paragraph shall be designated on the face of the
permit.
(b)(1) Application requirements for permits for incidental taking. A person wishing to get a permit for an activity
prohibited by §17.21(c) submits an application for activities under this paragraph. The Service provides Form 3200 for the application to which all of the following must be attached:
(i) A complete description of the activity sought to be authorized;
(ii) The common and scientific names of the species sought to be covered by the permit, as well as the number,
age, and sex of such species, if known;
(iii) A conservation plan that specifies:
(A) The impact that will likely result from such taking;
(B) What steps the applicant will take to monitor, minimize, and mitigate such impacts, the funding that will be
available to implement such steps, and the procedures to be used to deal with unforeseen circumstances;
(C) What alternative actions to such taking the applicant considered and the reasons why such alternatives are not
proposed to be utilized; and
(D) Such other measures that the Director may require as being necessary or appropriate for purposes of the plan;
(2) Issuance criteria. (i) Upon receiving an application completed in accordance with paragraph (b)(1) of this
section, the Director will decide whether or not a permit should be issued. The Director shall consider the general
issuance criteria in §13.21(b) of this subchapter, except for §13.21(b)(4), and shall issue the permit if he or she
finds that:
(A) The taking will be incidental;
(B) The applicant will, to the maximum extent practicable, minimize and mitigate the impacts of such takings;
(C) The applicant will ensure that adequate funding for the conservation plan and procedures to deal with
unforeseen circumstances will be provided;
(D) The taking will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of the survival and recovery of the species in the wild;
(E) The measures, if any, required under paragraph (b)(1)(iii)(D) of this section will be met; and
(F) He or she has received such other assurances as he or she may require that the plan will be implemented.
(ii) In making his or her decision, the Director shall also consider the anticipated duration and geographic scope of
the applicant's planned activities, including the amount of listed species habitat that is involved and the degree to
which listed species and their habitats are affected.
(3) Permit conditions. In addition to the general conditions set forth in part 13 of this subchapter, every permit
issued under this paragraph shall contain such terms and conditions as the Director deems necessary or
appropriate to carry out the purposes of the permit and the conservation plan including, but not limited to,
monitoring and reporting requirements deemed necessary for determining whether such terms and conditions are
being complied with. The Director shall rely upon existing reporting requirements to the maximum extent
practicable.
(4) Duration of permits. The duration of permits issued under this paragraph shall be sufficient to provide adequate
assurances to the permittee to commit funding necessary for the activities authorized by the permit, including
conservation activities and land use restrictions. In determining the duration of a permit, the Director shall consider
the duration of the planned activities, as well as the possible positive and negative effects associated with permits
of the proposed duration on listed species, including the extent to which the conservation plan will enhance the
habitat of listed species and increase the long-term survivability of such species.
(5) Assurances provided to permittee in case of changed or unforeseen circumstances. The assurances in this
paragraph (b)(5) apply only to incidental take permits issued in accordance with paragraph (b)(2) of this section
where the conservation plan is being properly implemented, and apply only with respect to species adequately
covered by the conservation plan. These assurances cannot be provided to Federal agencies. This rule does not
apply to incidental take permits issued prior to March 25, 1998. The assurances provided in incidental take permits
issued prior to March 25, 1998 remain in effect, and those permits will not be revised as a result of this rulemaking.
(i) Changed circumstances provided for in the plan. If additional conservation and mitigation measures are
deemed necessary to respond to changed circumstances and were provided for in the plan's operating
conservation program, the permittee will implement the measures specified in the plan.
(ii) Changed circumstances not provided for in the plan. If additional conservation and mitigation measures are
deemed necessary to respond to changed circumstances and such measures were not provided for in the plan's
operating conservation program, the Director will not require any conservation and mitigation measures in addition
to those provided for in the plan without the consent of the permittee, provided the plan is being properly
implemented.
(iii) Unforeseen circumstances. (A) In negotiating unforeseen circumstances, the Director will not require the
commitment of additional land, water, or financial compensation or additional restrictions on the use of land, water,
or other natural resources beyond the level otherwise agreed upon for the species covered by the conservation
plan without the consent of the permittee.
(B) If additional conservation and mitigation measures are deemed necessary to respond to unforeseen
circumstances, the Director may require additional measures of the permittee where the conservation plan is being
properly implemented, but only if such measures are limited to modifications within conserved habitat areas, if any,
or to the conservation plan's operating conservation program for the affected species, and maintain the original
terms of the conservation plan to the maximum extent possible. Additional conservation and mitigation measures
will not involve the commitment of additional land, water or financial compensation or additional restrictions on the
use of land, water, or other natural resources otherwise available for development or use under the original terms
of the conservation plan without the consent of the permittee.
(C) The Director will have the burden of demonstrating that unforeseen circumstances exist, using the best
scientific and commercial data available. These findings must be clearly documented and based upon reliable
technical information regarding the status and habitat requirements of the affected species. The Director will
consider, but not be limited to, the following factors:
(1) Size of the current range of the affected species;
(2) Percentage of range adversely affected by the conservation plan;
(3) Percentage of range conserved by the conservation plan;
(4) Ecological significance of that portion of the range affected by the conservation plan;
(5) Level of knowledge about the affected species and the degree of specificity of the species' conservation
program under the conservation plan; and
(6) Whether failure to adopt additional conservation measures would appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival
and recovery of the affected species in the wild.
(6) Nothing in this rule will be construed to limit or constrain the Director, any Federal, State, local, or Tribal
government agency, or a private entity, from taking additional actions at its own expense to protect or conserve a
species included in a conservation plan.
(7) Discontinuance of permit activity. Notwithstanding the provisions of §13.26 of this subchapter, a permittee
under this paragraph (b) remains responsible for any outstanding minimization and mitigation measures required
under the terms of the permit for take that occurs prior to surrender of the permit and such minimization and
mitigation measures as may be required pursuant to the termination provisions of an implementing agreement,
habitat conservation plan, or permit even after surrendering the permit to the Service pursuant to §13.26 of this
subchapter. The permit shall be deemed canceled only upon a determination by the Service that such minimization
and mitigation measures have been implemented. Upon surrender of the permit, no further take shall be
authorized under the terms of the surrendered permit.
(8) Criteria for revocation. A permit issued under paragraph (b) of this section may not be revoked for any reason
except those set forth in §13.28(a)(1) through (4) of this subchapter or unless continuation of the permitted activity
would be inconsistent with the criterion set forth in 16 U.S.C. 1539(a)(2)(B)(iv) and the inconsistency has not been
remedied.
(c)(1) Application requirements for permits for the enhancement of survival through Safe Harbor Agreements. The
applicant must submit an application for a permit under this paragraph (c) to the appropriate Regional Director,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, for the Region where the applicant resides or where the proposed activity is to
occur (for appropriate addresses, see 50 CFR 10.22), if the applicant wishes to engage in any activity prohibited
by §17.21. The applicant must submit an official Service application form (3-200.54) that includes the following
information:
(i) The common and scientific names of the listed species for which the applicant requests incidental take
authorization;
(ii) A description of how incidental take of the listed species pursuant to the Safe Harbor Agreement is likely to
occur, both as a result of management activities and as a result of the return to baseline; and
(iii) A Safe Harbor Agreement that complies with the requirements of the Safe Harbor policy available from the
Service.
(2) Issuance criteria. Upon receiving an application completed in accordance with paragraph (c)(1) of this section,
the Director will decide whether or not to issue a permit. The Director shall consider the general issuance criteria in
§13.21(b) of this subchapter, except for §13.21(b)(4), and may issue the permit if he or she finds:
(i) The take will be incidental to an otherwise lawful activity and will be in accordance with the terms of the Safe
Harbor Agreement;
(ii) The implementation of the terms of the Safe Harbor Agreement is reasonably expected to provide a net
conservation benefit to the affected listed species by contributing to the recovery of listed species included in the
permit, and the Safe Harbor Agreement otherwise complies with the Safe Harbor policy available from the Service;
(iii) The probable direct and indirect effects of any authorized take will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of
survival and recovery in the wild of any listed species;
(iv) Implementation of the terms of the Safe Harbor Agreement is consistent with applicable Federal, State, and
Tribal laws and regulations;
(v) Implementation of the terms of the Safe Harbor Agreement will not be in conflict with any ongoing conservation
or recovery programs for listed species covered by the permit; and
(vi) The applicant has shown capability for and commitment to implementing all of the terms of the Safe Harbor
Agreement.
(3) Permit conditions. In addition to any applicable general permit conditions set forth in part 13 of this subchapter,
every permit issued under this paragraph (c) is subject to the following special conditions:
(i) A requirement for the participating property owner to notify the Service of any transfer of lands subject to a Safe
Harbor Agreement;
(ii) When appropriate, a requirement for the permittee to give the Service reasonable advance notice (generally at
least 30 days) of when he or she expects to incidentally take any listed species covered under the permit. Such
notification will provide the Service with an opportunity to relocate affected individuals of the species, if possible
and appropriate; and
(iii) Any additional requirements or conditions the Director deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the
purposes of the permit and the Safe Harbor Agreement.
(4) Permit effective date. Permits issued under this paragraph (c) become effective the day of issuance for species
covered by the Safe Harbor Agreement.
(5) Assurances provided to permittee. (i) The assurances in paragraph (c)(5) (ii) of this section (c)(5) apply only to
Safe Harbor permits issued in accordance with paragraph (c)(2) of this section where the Safe Harbor Agreement
is being properly implemented, and apply only with respect to species covered by the Agreement and permit.
These assurances cannot be provided to Federal agencies. The assurances provided in this section apply only to
Safe Harbor permits issued after July 19, 1999.
(ii) The Director and the permittee may agree to revise or modify the management measures set forth in a Safe
Harbor Agreement if the Director determines that such revisions or modifications do not change the Director's prior
determination that the Safe Harbor Agreement is reasonably expected to provide a net conservation benefit to the
listed species. However, the Director may not require additional or different management activities to be
undertaken by a permittee without the consent of the permittee.
(6) Additional actions. Nothing in this rule will be construed to limit or constrain the Director, any Federal, State,
local or Tribal government agency, or a private entity, from taking additional actions at its own expense to protect
or conserve a species included in a Safe Harbor Agreement.
(7) Criteria for revocation. The Director may not revoke a permit issued under paragraph (c) of this section except
as provided in this paragraph. The Director may revoke a permit for any reason set forth in §13.28(a)(1) through
(4) of this subchapter. The Director may revoke a permit if continuation of the permitted activity would either
appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery in the wild of any listed species or directly or indirectly
alter designated critical habitat such that it appreciably diminishes the value of that critical habitat for both the
survival and recovery of a listed species. Before revoking a permit for either of the latter two reasons, the Director,
with the consent of the permittee, will pursue all appropriate options to avoid permit revocation. These options may
include, but are not limited to: extending or modifying the existing permit, capturing and relocating the species,
compensating the landowner to forgo the activity, purchasing an easement or fee simple interest in the property, or
arranging for a third-party acquisition of an interest in the property.
(8) Duration of permits. The duration of permits issued under this paragraph (c) must be sufficient to provide a net
conservation benefit to species covered in the enhancement of survival permit. In determining the duration of a
permit, the Director will consider the duration of the planned activities, as well as the positive and negative effects
associated with permits of the proposed duration on covered species, including the extent to which the
conservation activities included in the Safe Harbor Agreement will enhance the survival and contribute to the
recovery of listed species included in the permit.
(d)(1) Application requirements for permits for the enhancement of survival through Candidate Conservation
Agreements with Assurances (CCAAs). The applicant must submit an application for a permit under this paragraph
(d) to the appropriate Regional Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, for the Region where the applicant resides
or where the proposed activity is to occur (for appropriate addresses, see 50 CFR 10.22). When a species covered
by a (CCAA) is listed as endangered and the applicant wishes to engage in activities identified in the Agreement
and otherwise prohibited by §17.31, the applicant must apply for an enhancement of survival permit for species
covered by the Agreement. The permit will become valid if and when covered proposed, candidate or other
unlisted species is listed as an endangered species. The applicant must submit an official Service application form
(3-200.54) that includes the following information:
(i) The common and scientific names of the species for which the applicant requests incidental take authorization;
(ii) A description of the land use or water management activity for which the applicant requests incidental take
authorization; and
(iii) A CCAA that complies with the requirements of the CCAA with Assurances policy available from the Service.
(2) Issuance criteria. Upon receiving an application completed in accordance with paragraph (d)(1) of this section,
the Director will decide whether or not to issue a permit. The Director shall consider the general issuance criteria in
§13.21(b) of this subchapter, except for §13.21(b)(4), and may issue the permit if he or she finds:
(i) The take will be incidental to an otherwise lawful activity and will be in accordance with the terms of the CCAA;
(ii) The implementation of the terms of the CCAA is reasonably expected to provide a net conservation benefit to
the affected covered species by contributing to the conservation of the species included in the permit, and the
CCAA otherwise complies with the Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances policy available from the
Service;
(iii) The probable direct and indirect effects of any authorized take will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of
survival and recovery in the wild of any species;
(iv) Implementation of the terms of the CCAA is consistent with applicable Federal, State, and Tribal laws and
regulations;
(v) Implementation of the terms of the CCAA will not be in conflict with any ongoing conservation programs for
species covered by the permit; and
(vi) The applicant has shown capability for and commitment to implementing all of the terms of the CCAA.
(3) Permit conditions. In addition to any applicable general permit conditions set forth in part 13 of this subchapter,
every permit issued under this paragraph (d) is subject to the following special conditions:
(i) A requirement for the property owner to notify the Service of any transfer of lands subject to a CCAA;
(ii) When appropriate, a requirement for the permittee to give the Service reasonable advance notice (generally at
least 30 days) of when he or she expects to incidentally take any listed species covered under the permit. Such
notification will provide the Service with an opportunity to relocate affected individuals of the species, if possible
and appropriate; and
(iii) Any additional requirements or conditions the Director deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the
purposes of the permit and the CCAA.
(4) Permit effective date. Permits issued under this paragraph (d) become effective for a species covered by a
CCAA on the effective date of a final rule that lists a covered species as endangered.
(5) Assurances provided to permittee in case of changed or unforeseen circumstances. The assurances in this
paragraph (d)(5) apply only to permits issued in accordance with paragraph (d)(2) where the (CCAA) is being
properly implemented, and apply only with respect to species adequately covered by the CCAA. These
assurances cannot be provided to Federal agencies.
(i) Changed circumstances provided for in the Agreement. If the Director determines that additional conservation
measures are necessary to respond to changed circumstances and these measures were set forth in the
Agreement, the permittee will implement the measures specified in the Agreement.
(ii) Changed circumstances not provided for in the Agreement. If the Director determines that additional
conservation measures not provided for in the Agreement are necessary to respond to changed circumstances,
the Director will not require any conservation measures in addition to those provided for in the Agreement without
the consent of the permittee, provided the Agreement is being properly implemented.
(iii) Unforeseen circumstances. (A) In negotiating unforeseen circumstances, the Director will not require the
commitment of additional land, water, or financial compensation or additional restrictions on the use of land, water,
or other natural resources beyond the level otherwise agreed upon for the species covered by the Agreement
without the consent of the permittee.
(B) If the Director determines additional conservation measures are necessary to respond to unforeseen
circumstances, the Director may require additional measures of the permittee where the Agreement is being
properly implemented, but only if such measures maintain the original terms of the Agreement to the maximum
extent possible. Additional conservation measures will not involve the commitment of additional land, water, or
financial compensation or additional restrictions on the use of land, water, or other natural resources otherwise
available for development or use under the original terms of the Agreement without the consent of the permittee.
(C) The Director will have the burden of demonstrating that unforeseen circumstances exist, using the best
scientific and commercial data available. These findings must be clearly documented and based upon reliable
technical information regarding the status and habitat requirements of the affected species. The Director will
consider, but not be limited to, the following factors:
(1) Size of the current range of the affected species;
(2) Percentage of range adversely affected by the Agreement;
(3) Percentage of range conserved by the Agreement;
(4) Ecological significance of that portion of the range affected by the Agreement;
(5) Level of knowledge about the affected species and the degree of specificity of the species' conservation
program under the Agreement; and
(6) Whether failure to adopt additional conservation measures would appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival
and recovery of the affected species in the wild.
(6) Additional actions. Nothing in this rule will be construed to limit or constrain the Director, any Federal, State,
local or Tribal government agency, or a private entity, from taking additional actions at its own expense to protect
or conserve a species included in a CCAA.
(7) Criteria for revocation. The Director may not revoke a permit issued under paragraph (d) of this section except
as provided in this paragraph. The Director may revoke a permit for any reason set forth in §13.28(a)(1) through
(4) of this subchapter. The Director may revoke a permit if continuation of the permitted activity would either
appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery in the wild of any listed species or directly or indirectly
alter designated critical habitat such that it appreciably diminishes the value of that critical habitat for both the
survival and recovery of a listed species. Before revoking a permit for either of the latter two reasons, the Director,
with the consent of the permittee, will pursue all appropriate options to avoid permit revocation. These options may
include, but are not limited to: extending or modifying the existing permit, capturing and relocating the species,
compensating the landowner to forgo the activity, purchasing an easement or fee simple interest in the property, or
arranging for a third-party acquisition of an interest in the property.
(8) Duration. The duration of a CCAA covered by a permit issued under this paragraph (d) must be sufficient to
achieve a net conservation benefit to the species covered by the permit and the Agreement and otherwise comply
with the Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances policy available from the Service.
(e) Objection to permit issuance. (1) In regard to any notice of a permit application published in the Federal
Register, any interested party that objects to the issuance of a permit, in whole or in part, may, during the comment
period specified in the notice, request notification of the final action to be taken on the application. A separate
written request shall be made for each permit application. Such a request shall specify the Service's permit
application number and state the reasons why that party believes the applicant does not meet the issuance criteria
contained in §§13.21 and 17.22 of this subchapter or other reasons why the permit should not be issued.
(2) If the Service decides to issue a permit contrary to objections received pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) of this
section, then the Service shall, at least ten days prior to issuance of the permit, make reasonable efforts to contact
by telephone or other expedient means, any party who has made a request pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) of this
section and inform that party of the issuance of the permit. However, the Service may reduce the time period or
dispense with such notice if it determines that time is of the essence and that delay in issuance of the permit
would: (i) Harm the specimen or population involved; or (ii) unduly hinder the actions authorized under the permit.
(3) The Service will notify any party filing an objection and request for notice under paragraph (c)(1) of this section
of the final action taken on the application, in writing. If the Service has reduced or dispensed with the notice
period referred to in paragraph (c)(2) of this section, it will include its reasons therefore in such written notice.

§17.23 Economic hardship permits.
Upon receipt of a complete application, the Director may issue a permit authorizing any activity otherwise
prohibited by §17.21, in accordance with the issuance criteria of this section in order to prevent undue economic
hardship. The Director shall publish notice in the Federal Register of each application for a permit that is made
under this section. Each notice shall invite the submission from interested parties, within 30 days after the date of
the notice, of written data, views, or arguments with respect to the application. The 30-day period may be waived
by the Director in an emergency situation where the life or health of an endangered animal is threatened and no
reasonable alternative is available to the applicant. Notice of any such waiver shall be published in the Federal
Register within 10 days following issuance of the permit.
(a) Application requirements. Applications for permits under this section must be submitted to the Director by the
person allegedly suffering undue economic hardship because his desired activity is prohibited by §17.21. Each
application must be submitted on an official application form (Form 3-200) provided by the Service, and must
include, as an attachment, all of the information required in §17.22 plus the following additional information:
(1) The possible legal, economic or subsistence alternatives to the activity sought to be authorized by the permit;
(2) A full statement, accompanied by copies of all relevant contracts and correspondence, showing the applicant's involvement with the wildlife sought to be covered by the permit (as well as his involvement with similar
wildlife), including, where applicable, that portion of applicant's income derived from the taking of such wildlife, or
the subsistence use of such wildlife, during the calendar year immediately preceding either the notice in
the Federal Register of review of the status of the species or of the proposal to list such wildlife as endangered,
whichever is earliest;
(3) Where applicable, proof of a contract or other binding legal obligation which:
(i) Deals specifically with the wildlife sought to be covered by the permit;
(ii) Became binding prior to the date when the notice of a review of the status of the species or the notice of
proposed rulemaking proposing to list such wildlife as endangered was published in the Federal
Register,whichever is earlier; and
(iii) Will cause monetary loss of a given dollar amount if the permit sought under this section is not granted.
(b) Issuance criteria. Upon receiving an application completed in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section, the
Director will decide whether or not a permit should be issued under any of the three categories of economic
hardship, as defined in section 10(b)(2) of the Act. In making his decisions, the Director shall consider, in addition
to the general criteria in §13.21(b) of this subchapter, the following factors:
(1) Whether the purpose for which the permit is being requested is adequate to justify removing from the wild or
otherwise changing the status of the wildlife sought to be covered by the permit;
(2) The probable direct and indirect effect which issuing the permit would have on the wild populations of the
wildlife sought to be covered by the permit;
(3) The economic, legal, subsistence, or other alternatives or relief available to the applicant;
(4) The amount of evidence that the applicant was in fact party to a contract or other binding legal obligation which;
(i) Deals specifically with the wildlife sought to be covered by the permit; and
(ii) Became binding prior to the date when the notice of a review of the status of the species or the notice of
proposed rulemaking proposing to list such wildlife as endangered was published in the Federal
Register,whichever is earlier.
(5) The severity of economic hardship which the contract or other binding legal obligation referred to in paragraph
(b)(4) of this section would cause if the permit were denied;
(6) Where applicable, the portion of the applicant's income which would be lost if the permit were denied, and the
relationship of that portion to the balance of his income;
(7) Where applicable, the nature and extent of subsistence taking generally by the applicant; and
(8) The likelihood that applicant can reasonably carry out his desired activity within one year from the date a notice
is published in the Federal Register to review status of such wildlife, or to list such wildlife as endangered,
whichever is earlier.
(c) Permit conditions. In addition to the general conditions set forth in part 13 of this subchapter, every permit
issued under this section shall be subject to the following special conditions:
(1) In addition to any reporting requirements contained in the permit itself, the permittee shall also submit to the
Director a written report of his activities pursuant to the permit. Such report must be postmarked or actually
delivered no later than 10 days after completion of the activity.
(2) The death or escape of all living wildlife covered by the permit shall be immediately reported to the Service's
office designated in the permit.
(d) Duration of permits issued under this section shall be designated on the face of the permit. No permit issued
under this section, however, shall be valid for more than one year from the date a notice is published in
the Federal Register to review status of such wildlife, or to list such wildlife as endangered, whichever is earlier.

§17.31 Prohibitions.
(a) Except as provided in §§17.4 through 17.8, or in a permit issued under this subpart, all of the provisions of
§17.21, except §17.21(c)(5), shall apply to threatened species of wildlife that were added to the List of Endangered
and Threatened Wildlife in §17.11(h) on or prior to September 26, 2019, unless the Secretary has promulgated
species-specific provisions (see paragraph (c) of this section).
(b) In addition to any other provisions of this part, any employee or agent of the Service, of the National Marine
Fisheries Service, or of a State conservation agency that is operating a conservation program pursuant to the
terms of a cooperative agreement with the Service in accordance with section 6(c) of the Act, who is designated by
that agency for such purposes, may, when acting in the course of official duties, take those threatened species of
wildlife that are covered by an approved cooperative agreement to carry out conservation programs.
(c) Whenever a species-specific rule in §§17.40 through 17.48 applies to a threatened species, none of the
provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section will apply. The species-specific rule will contain all the
applicable prohibitions and exceptions.

§17.32 Permits—general.
Upon receipt of a complete application the Director may issue a permit for any activity otherwise prohibited with
regard to threatened wildlife. Such permit shall be governed by the provisions of this section unless a special rule
applicable to the wildlife, appearing in §§17.40 to 17.48, of this part provides otherwise. Permits issued under this
section must be for one of the following purposes: Scientific purposes, or the enhancement of propagation or
survival, or economic hardship, or zoological exhibition, or educational purposes, or incidental taking, or special
purposes consistent with the purposes of the Act. Such permits may authorize a single transaction, a series of
transactions, or a number of activities over a specific period of time.
(a)(1) Application requirements for permits for scientific purposes, or the enhancement of propagation or survival,
or economic hardship, or zoological exhibition, or educational purposes, or special purposes consistent with the
purposes of the Act. A person wishing to get a permit for an activity prohibited by §17.31 submits an application for
activities under this paragraph. The Service provides Form 3-200 for the application to which as much of the
following information relating to the purpose of the permit must be attached:
(i) The Common and scientific names of the species sought to be covered by the permit, as well as the number,
age, and sex of such species, and the activity sought to be authorized (such as taking, exporting, selling in
interstate commerce);
(ii) A statement as to whether, at the time of application, the wildlife sought to be covered by the permit (A) is still in
the wild, (B) has already been removed from the wild, or (C) was born in captivity;
(iii) A resume of the applicant's attempts to obtain the wildlife sought to be covered by the permit in a manner
which would not cause the death or removal from the wild of such wildlife;
(iv) If the wildlife sought to be covered by the permit has already been removed from the wild, the country and
place where such removal occurred; if the wildlife sought to be covered by permit was born in captivity, the country
and place where such wildlife was born;
(v) A complete description and address of the institution or other facility where the wildlife sought to be covered by
the permit will be used, displayed, or maintained;
(vi) If the applicant seeks to have live wildlife covered by the permit, a complete description, including photographs
or diagrams, of the facilities to house and/or care for the wildlife and a resume of the experience of those persons
who will be caring for the wildlife;
(vii) A full statement of the reasons why the applicant is justified in obtaining a permit including the details of the
activities sought to be authorized by the permit;
(viii) If the application is for the purpose of enhancement of propagation, a statement of the applicant's willingness
to participate in a cooperative breeding program and to maintain or contribute data to a studbook;
(2) Issuance criteria. Upon receiving an application completed in accordance with paragraph (a)(1) of this section,
the Director will decide whether or not a permit should be issued. In making this decision, the Director shall
consider, in addition to the general criteria in §13.21(b) of this subchapter, the following factors:
(i) Whether the purpose for which the permit is required is adequate to justify removing from the wild or otherwise
changing the status of the wildlife sought to be covered by the permit;
(ii) The probable direct and indirect effect which issuing the permit would have on the wild populations of the
wildlife sought to be covered by the permit;
(iii) Whether the permit, if issued, would in any way, directly or indirectly, conflict with any known program intended
to enhance the survival probabilities of the population from which the wildlife sought to be covered by the permit
was or would be removed;
(iv) Whether the purpose for which the permit is required would be likely to reduce the threat of extinction facing
the species of wildlife sought to be covered by the permit;
(v) The opinions or views of scientists or other persons or organizations having expertise concerning the wildlife or
other matters germane to the application; and
(vi) Whether the expertise, facilities, or other resources available to the applicant appear adequate to successfully
accomplish the objectives stated in the application.
(3) Permit conditions. In addition to the general conditions set forth in part 13 of this subchapter, every permit
issued under this paragraph shall be subject to the special condition that the escape of living wildlife covered by
the permit shall be immediately reported to the Service office designated in the permit.
(4) Duration of permits. The duration of permits issued under this paragraph shall be designated on the face of the
permit.
(b)(1) Application requirements for permits for incidental taking. (i) A person wishing to get a permit for an activity
prohibited by §17.31 submits an application for activities under this paragraph.
(ii) The director shall publish notice in the Federal Register of each application for a permit that is made under this
section. Each notice shall invite the submission from interested parties, within 30 days after the date of the notice,
of written data, views, or arguments with respect to the application.
(iii) Each application must be submitted on an official application (Form 3-200) provided by the Service, and must
include as an attachment, all of the following information:
(A) A complete description of the activity sought to be authorized;
(B) The common and scientific names of the species sought to be covered by the permit, as well as the number,
age, and sex of such species, if known;
(C) A conservation plan that specifies:
(1) The impact that will likely result from such taking;
(2) What steps the applicant will take to monitor, minimize, and mitigate such impacts, the funding that will be
available to implement such steps, and the procedures to be used to deal with unforeseen circumstances;
(3) What alternative actions to such taking the applicant considered and the reasons why such alternatives are not
proposed to be utilized; and
(4) Such other measures that the Director may require as being necessary or appropriate for purposes of the plan.
(2) Issuance criteria. (i) Upon receiving an application completed in accordance with paragraph (b)(1) of this
section, the Director will decide whether or not a permit should be issued. The Director shall consider the general
issuance criteria in 13.21(b) of this subchapter, except for 13.21(b)(4), and shall issue the permit if he or she finds
that:
(A) The taking will be incidental;
(B) The applicant will, to the maximum extent practicable, minimize and mitigate the impacts of such takings;
(C) The applicant will ensure that adequate funding for the conservation plan and procedures to deal with
unforeseen circumstances will be provided;
(D) The taking will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of the survival and recovery of the species in the wild;
(E) The measures, if any, required under paragraph (b)(1)(iii)(D) of this section will be met; and
(F) He or she has received such other assurances as he or she may require that the plan will be implemented.
(ii) In making his or her decision, the Director shall also consider the anticipated duration and geographic scope of
the applicant's planned activities, including the amount of listed species habitat that is involved and the degree to
which listed species and their habitats are affected.
(3) Permit conditions. In addition to the general conditions set forth in part 13 of this subchapter, every permit
issued under this paragraph shall contain such terms and conditions as the Director deems necessary or
appropriate to carry out the purposes of the permit and the conservation plan including, but not limited to,
monitoring and reporting requirements deemed necessary for determining whether such terms and conditions are
being complied with. The Director shall rely upon existing reporting requirements to the maximum extent
practicable.
(4) Duration of permits. The duration of permits issued under this paragraph shall be sufficient to provide adequate
assurances to the permittee to commit funding necessary for the activities authorized by the permit, including
conservation activities and land use restrictions. In determining the duration of a permit, the Director shall consider
the duration of the planned activities, as well as the possible positive and negative effects associated with permits
of the proposed duration on listed species, including the extent to which the conservation plan will enhance the
habitat of listed species and increase the long-term survivability of such species.
(5) Assurances provided to permittee in case of changed or unforeseen circumstances. The assurances in this
paragraph (b)(5) apply only to incidental take permits issued in accordance with paragraph (b)(2) of this section
where the conservation plan is being properly implemented, and apply only with respect to species adequately
covered by the conservation plan. These assurances cannot be provided to Federal agencies. This rule does not
apply to incidental take permits issued prior to March 25, 1998. The assurances provided in incidental take permits
issued prior to March 25, 1998 remain in effect, and those permits will not be revised as a result of this rulemaking.
(i) Changed circumstances provided for in the plan. If additional conservation and mitigation measures are
deemed necessary to respond to changed circumstances and were provided for in the plan's operating
conservation program, the permittee will implement the measures specified in the plan.
(ii) Changed circumstances not provided for in the plan. If additional conservation and mitigation measures are
deemed necessary to respond to changed circumstances and such measures were not provided for in the plan's
operating conservation program, the Director will not require any conservation and mitigation measures in addition
to those provided for in the plan without the consent of the permittee, provided the plan is being properly
implemented.
(iii) Unforeseen circumstances. (A) In negotiating unforeseen circumstances, the Director will not require the
commitment of additional land, water, or financial compensation or additional restrictions on the use of land, water,
or other natural resources beyond the level otherwise agreed upon for the species covered by the conservation
plan without the consent of the permittee.
(B) If additional conservation and mitigation measures are deemed necessary to respond to unforeseen
circumstances, the Director may require additional measures of the permittee where the conservation plan is being
properly implemented, but only if such measures are limited to modifications within conserved habitat areas, if any,
or to the conservation plan's operating conservation program for the affected species, and maintain the original
terms of the conservation plan to the maximum extent possible. Additional conservation and mitigation measures
will not involve the commitment of additional land, water or financial compensation or additional restrictions on the
use of land, water, or other natural resources otherwise available for development or use under the original terms
of the conservation plan without the consent of the permittee.
(C) The Director will have the burden of demonstrating that such unforeseen circumstances exist, using the best
scientific and commercial data available. These findings must be clearly documented and based upon reliable
technical information regarding the status and habitat requirements of the affected species. The Director will
consider, but not be limited to, the following factors:
(1) Size of the current range of the affected species;
(2) Percentage of range adversely affected by the conservation plan;
(3) Percentage of range conserved by the conservation plan;
(4) Ecological significance of that portion of the range affected by the conservation plan;
(5) Level of knowledge about the affected species and the degree of specificity of the species' conservation
program under the conservation plan; and
(6) Whether failure to adopt additional conservation measures would appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival
and recovery of the affected species in the wild.
(6) Nothing in this rule will be construed to limit or constrain the Director, any Federal, State, local, or Tribal
government agency, or a private entity, from taking additional actions at its own expense to protect or conserve a
species included in a conservation plan.
(7) Discontinuance of permit activity. Notwithstanding the provisions of §13.26 of this subchapter, a permittee
under this paragraph (b) remains responsible for any outstanding minimization and mitigation measures required
under the terms of the permit for take that occurs prior to surrender of the permit and such minimization and
mitigation measures as may be required pursuant to the termination provisions of an implementing agreement,
habitat conservation plan, or permit even after surrendering the permit to the Service pursuant to §13.26 of this
subchapter. The permit shall be deemed canceled only upon a determination by the Service that such minimization
and mitigation measures have been implemented. Upon surrender of the permit, no further take shall be
authorized under the terms of the surrendered permit.
(8) Criteria for revocation. A permit issued under paragraph (b) of this section may not be revoked for any reason
except those set forth in §13.28(a)(1) through (4) of this subchapter or unless continuation of the permitted activity
would be inconsistent with the criterion set forth in 16 U.S.C. 1539(a)(2)(B)(iv) and the inconsistency has not been
remedied.
(c)(1) Application requirements for permits for the enhancement of survival through Safe Harbor Agreements. The
applicant must submit an application for a permit under this paragraph (c) to the appropriate Regional Director,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, for the Region where the applicant resides or where the proposed action is to occur
(for appropriate addresses, see 50 CFR 10.22), if the applicant wishes to engage in any activity prohibited by
§17.31. The applicant must submit an official Service application form (3-200.54) that includes the following
information:
(i) The common and scientific names of the listed species for which the applicant requests incidental take
authorization;
(ii) A description of how incidental take of the covered species pursuant to the Safe Harbor Agreement is likely to
occur, both as a result of management activities and as a result of the return to baseline;
(iii) A Safe Harbor Agreement that complies with the requirements of the Safe Harbor policy available from the
Service; and
(iv) The Director must publish notice in the Federal Register of each application for a permit that is made under
this paragraph (c). Each notice must invite the submission from interested parties within 30 days after the date of
the notice of written data, views, or arguments with respect to the application. The procedures included in
§17.22(e) for permit objection apply to any notice published by the Director under this paragraph (c).
(2) Issuance criteria. Upon receiving an application completed in accordance with paragraph (c)(1) of this section,
the Director will decide whether or not to issue a permit. The Director shall consider the general issuance criteria in
§13.21(b) of this subchapter, except for §13.21(b)(4), and may issue the permit if he or she finds:
(i) The take will be incidental to an otherwise lawful activity and will be in accordance with the terms of the Safe
Harbor Agreement;
(ii) The implementation of the terms of the Safe Harbor Agreement is reasonably expected to provide a net
conservation benefit to the affected listed species by contributing to the recovery of listed species included in the
permit, and the Safe Harbor Agreement otherwise complies with the Safe Harbor policy available from the Service;
(iii) The probable direct and indirect effects of any authorized take will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of
survival and recovery in the wild of any listed species;
(iv) Implementation of the terms of the Safe Harbor Agreement is consistent with applicable Federal, State, and
Tribal laws and regulations;
(v) Implementation of the terms of the Safe Harbor Agreement will not be in conflict with any ongoing conservation
or recovery programs for listed species covered by the permit; and
(vi) The applicant has shown capability for and commitment to implementing all of the terms of the Safe Harbor
Agreement.
(3) Permit conditions. In addition to any applicable general permit conditions set forth in part 13 of this subchapter,
every permit issued under this paragraph (c) is subject to the following special conditions:
(i) A requirement for the participating property owner to notify the Service of any transfer of lands subject to a Safe
Harbor Agreement;
(ii) When appropriate, a requirement for the permittee to give the Service reasonable advance notice (generally at
least 30 days) of when he or she expects to incidentally take any listed species covered under the permit. Such
notification will provide the Service with an opportunity to relocate affected individuals of the species, if possible
and appropriate; and
(iii) Any additional requirements or conditions the Director deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the
purposes of the permit and the Safe Harbor Agreement.
(4) Permit effective date. Permits issued under this paragraph (c) become effective the day of issuance for species
covered by the Safe Harbor Agreement.
(5) Assurances provided to permittee. (i) The assurances in subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph (c)(5) apply only to
Safe Harbor permits issued in accordance with paragraph (c)(2) of this section where the Safe Harbor Agreement
is being properly implemented, and apply only with respect to species covered by the Agreement and permit.
These assurances cannot be provided to Federal agencies. The assurances provided in this section apply only to
Safe Harbor permits issued after July 19, 1999.
(ii) The Director and the permittee may agree to revise or modify the management measures set forth in a Safe
Harbor Agreement if the Director determines that such revisions or modifications do not change the Director's prior
determination that the Safe Harbor Agreement is reasonably expected to provide a net conservation benefit to the
listed species. However, the Director may not require additional or different management activities to be
undertaken by a permittee without the consent of the permittee.
(6) Additional actions. Nothing in this rule will be construed to limit or constrain the Director, any Federal, State,
local or Tribal government agency, or a private entity, from taking additional actions at its own expense to protect
or conserve a species included in a Safe Harbor Agreement.
(7) Criteria for revocation. The Director may not revoke a permit issued under paragraph (c) of this section except
as provided in this paragraph. The Director may revoke a permit for any reason set forth in §13.28(a)(1) through
(4) of this subchapter. The Director may revoke a permit if continuation of the permitted activity would either
appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery in the wild of any listed species or directly or indirectly
alter designated critical habitat such that it appreciably diminishes the value of that critical habitat for both the
survival and recovery of a listed species. Before revoking a permit for either of the latter two reasons, the Director,
with the consent of the permittee, will pursue all appropriate options to avoid permit revocation. These options may
include, but are not limited to: extending or modifying the existing permit, capturing and relocating the species,
compensating the landowner to forgo the activity, purchasing an easement or fee simple interest in the property, or
arranging for a third-party acquisition of an interest in the property.
(8) Duration of permits. The duration of permits issued under this paragraph (c) must be sufficient to provide a net
conservation benefit to species covered in the enhancement of survival permit. In determining the duration of a
permit, the Director will consider the duration of the planned activities, as well as the positive and negative effects
associated with permits of the proposed duration on covered species, including the extent to which the
conservation activities included in the Safe Harbor Agreement will enhance the survival and contribute to the
recovery of listed species included in the permit.
(d)(1) Application requirements for permits for the enhancement of survival through Candidate Conservation
Agreements with Assurances (CCAAs). The applicant must submit an application for a permit under this paragraph
(d) to the appropriate Regional Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, for the Region where the applicant resides
or where the proposed activity is to occur (for appropriate addresses, see 50 CFR 10.22). When a species covered
by a CCAA is listed as threatened and the applicant wishes to engage in activities identified in the Agreement and
otherwise prohibited by §17.31, the applicant must apply for an enhancement of survival permit for species
covered by the Agreement. The permit will become valid if and when covered proposed, candidate or other
unlisted species is listed as a threatened species. The applicant must submit an official Service application form
(3-200.54) that includes the following information:
(i) The common and scientific names of the species for which the applicant requests incidental take authorization;
(ii) A description of the land use or water management activity for which the applicant requests incidental take
authorization; and
(iii) A CCAA that complies with the requirements of the Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances policy
available from the Service.
(iv) The Director must publish notice in the Federal Register of each application for a permit that is made under
this paragraph (d). Each notice must invite the submission from interested parties within 30 days after the date of
the notice of written data, views, or arguments with respect to the application. The procedures included in
§17.22(e) for permit objection apply to any notice published by the Director under this paragraph (d).
(2) Issuance criteria. Upon receiving an application completed in accordance with paragraph (d)(1) of this section,
the Director will decide whether or not to issue a permit. The Director shall consider the general issuance criteria in
§13.21(b) of this subchapter, except for §13.21(b)(4), and may issue the permit if he or she finds:
(i) The take will be incidental to an otherwise lawful activity and will be in accordance with the terms of the CCAA;
(ii) The implementation of the terms of the CCAA is reasonably expected to provide a net conservation benefit to
the affected covered species by contributing to the conservation of the species included in the permit, and the
CCAA otherwise complies with the Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances policy available from the
Service;
(iii) The probable direct and indirect effects of any authorized take will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of
survival and recovery in the wild of any species;
(iv) Implementation of the terms of the CCAA is consistent with applicable Federal, State, and Tribal laws and
regulations;
(v) Implementation of the terms of the CCAA will not be in conflict with any ongoing conservation programs for
species covered by the permit; and
(vi) The applicant has shown capability for and commitment to implementing all of the terms of the Candidate
Conservation Agreement.
(3) Permit conditions. In addition to any applicable general permit conditions set forth in part 13 of this subchapter,
every permit issued under this paragraph (d) is subject to the following special conditions:
(i) A requirement for the property owner to notify the Service of any transfer of lands subject to a CCAA;
(ii) When appropriate, a requirement for the permittee to give the Service reasonable advance notice (generally at
least 30 days) of when he or she expects to incidentally take any listed species covered under the permit. Such
notification will provide the Service with an opportunity to relocate affected individuals of the species, if possible
and appropriate; and
(iii) Any additional requirements or conditions the Director deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the
purposes of the permit and the CCAA.
(4) Permit effective date. Permits issued under this paragraph (d) become effective for a species covered by a
CCAA on the effective date of a final rule that lists a covered species as threatened.
(5) Assurances provided to permittee in case of changed or unforeseen circumstances. The assurances in this
paragraph (d)(5) apply only to permits issued in accordance with paragraph (d)(2) where the CCAA is being
properly implemented, and apply only with respect to species adequately covered by the CCAA. These
assurances cannot be provided to Federal agencies.
(i) Changed circumstances provided for in the Agreement. If the Director determines that additional conservation
measures are necessary to respond to changed circumstances and these measures were set forth in the
Agreement, the permittee will implement the measures specified in the Agreement.
(ii) Changed circumstances not provided for in the Agreement. If the Director determines that additional
conservation measures not provided for in the Agreement are necessary to respond to changed circumstances,
the Director will not require any conservation measures in addition to those provided for in the Agreement without
the consent of the permittee, provided the Agreement is being properly implemented.
(iii) Unforeseen circumstances. (A) In negotiating unforeseen circumstances, the Director will not require the
commitment of additional land, water, or financial compensation or additional restrictions on the use of land, water,
or other natural resources beyond the level otherwise agreed upon for the species covered by the Agreement
without the consent of the permittee.
(B) If the Director determines additional conservation measures are necessary to respond to unforeseen
circumstances, the Director may require additional measures of the permittee where the Agreement is being
properly implemented, but only if such measures maintain the original terms of the Agreement to the maximum
extent possible. Additional conservation measures will not involve the commitment of additional land, water, or
financial compensation or additional restrictions on the use of land, water, or other natural resources otherwise
available for development or use under the original terms of the Agreement without the consent of the permittee.
(C) The Director will have the burden of demonstrating that unforeseen circumstances exist, using the best
scientific and commercial data available. These findings must be clearly documented and based upon reliable
technical information regarding the status and habitat requirements of the affected species. The Director will
consider, but not be limited to, the following factors:
(1) Size of the current range of the affected species;
(2) Percentage of range adversely affected by the Agreement;
(3) Percentage of range conserved by the Agreement;
(4) Ecological significance of that portion of the range affected by the Agreement;
(5) Level of knowledge about the affected species and the degree of specificity of the species' conservation
program under the Agreement; and
(6) Whether failure to adopt additional conservation measures would appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival
and recovery of the affected species in the wild.
(6) Additional actions. Nothing in this rule will be construed to limit or constrain the Director, any Federal, State,
local or Tribal government agency, or a private entity, from taking additional actions at its own expense to protect
or conserve a species included in a CCAA.
(7) Criteria for revocation. The Director may not revoke a permit issued under paragraph (d) of this section except
as provided in this paragraph. The Director may revoke a permit for any reason set forth in §13.28(a)(1) through
(4) of this subchapter. The Director may revoke a permit if continuation of the permitted activity would either
appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery in the wild of any listed species or directly or indirectly
alter designated critical habitat such that it appreciably diminishes the value of that critical habitat for both the
survival and recovery of a listed species. Before revoking a permit for either of the latter two reasons, the Director,
with the consent of the permittee, will pursue all appropriate options to avoid permit revocation. These options may
include, but are not limited to: extending or modifying the existing permit, capturing and relocating the species,
compensating the landowner to forgo the activity, purchasing an easement or fee simple interest in the property, or
arranging for a third-party acquisition of an interest in the property.
(8) Duration. The duration of a CCAA covered by a permit issued under this paragraph (d) must be sufficient to
achieve a net conservation benefit to the species covered by the permit and the Agreement and otherwise comply
with the Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances policy available from the Service.

the effective date of this rulemaking. Identification of the particular member to a record in the International Species
Inventory System (ISIS), or to a Federal, State or local government permit, shall be deemed to be satisfactory
evidence. Records in the form of studbooks or inventories, kept in the normal course of business, shall be
acceptable as evidence, provided that a notarized statement is inserted in such record to the effect that:
(i) The records were kept in the normal course of business prior to November 18, 1976, and accurately identify (by
use of markers, tags, or other acceptable marking devices) individual animals; or
(ii) That the individual animal identified by the records was born in captivity on ____(Date).
The notarized statement in paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this section, shall be acceptable only if the notarization is dated
on or before January 3, 1977. The notarized statement in paragraph (c)(2)(ii), of this section, shall be acceptable
only if the notarization is dated within 15 days of the date of birth of the animal.

(e)(3) of this section regarding manufactured or handcrafted items containing de minimis quantities of ivory does
not apply to ivory imported or exported under this paragraph (e)(8) for genuine scientific purposes.
(9) Antique ivory. Antiques (as defined in paragraph (e)(1) of this section) are not subject to the provisions of this
rule. Antiques containing or consisting of ivory may, therefore, be imported into or exported from the United States
without a threatened species permit issued under §17.32, provided the requirements of 50 CFR parts 13, 14, and
23 have been met. Nevertheless, nothing in this rule interprets or changes any provisions or prohibitions that may

(2) A sport-hunted leopard trophy legally taken after the effective date of this rulemaking, from the area south of
the line delineated above, may be imported into the United States without a Threatened Species permit pursuant
to §17.32 of this part, provided that the applicable provisions of 50 CFR part 23 have been met.
(g) Utah prairie dog (Cynomys parvidens).
(1) Except as noted in paragraphs (g)(2) through (g)(6) of this section, all prohibitions of §17.31(a) and (b) and
exemptions of §17.32 apply to the Utah prairie dog.
(2) A Utah prairie dog may be directly or intentionally taken as described in paragraphs (g)(3) and (4) of this
section on agricultural lands, properties within 0.8 kilometers (km) (0.5 miles (mi)) of conservation lands, and areas
where prairie dogs create serious human safety hazards or disturb the sanctity of significant human cultural or
human burial sites.
(3) Agricultural lands and properties near conservation lands. When permitted by the Utah Division of Wildlife
Resources (UDWR), or other parties as authorized in writing by the Service, direct or intentional take is allowed on
private properties that are located within 0.8 km (0.5 mi) of conservation land, and on agricultural land. Records on
permitted take will be maintained by the State (or other parties as authorized in writing by the Service), and made
available to the Service upon request.
(i) Agricultural land. (A) Take may be permitted only on agricultural land being physically or economically affected
by Utah prairie dogs, and only when the spring count on the agricultural lands is seven or more individuals, and
only during the period of June 15 to December 31; and
(B) The land must:
(1) Meet the general classification of irrigated, dryland, grazing land, orchard, or meadow;
(2) Be capable of producing crops or forage;
(3) Be at least 2 contiguous hectares (5 contiguous acres) in area (smaller parcels may qualify where devoted to
agricultural use in conjunction with other eligible acreage under identical legal ownership);
(4) Be managed in such a way that there is a reasonable expectation of profit;
(5) Have been devoted to agricultural use for at least 2 successive years immediately preceding the year in which
application is made; and
(6) Meet State average annual (per-acre) production requirements.
(ii) Private property near conservation land. (A) Take may be permitted on private properties within 0.8 km (0.5 mi)
of Utah prairie dog conservation land during the period of June 15 to December 31.
(B) Conservation lands are defined as non-Federal areas set aside for the preservation of Utah prairie dogs and
are managed specifically or primarily toward that purpose. Conservation lands may include, but are not limited to,
properties set aside as conservation banks, fee-title purchased properties, properties under conservation
easements, and properties subject to a safe harbor agreement (see §17.22). Conservation lands do not include
Federal lands.
(iii) Amount of permitted take on agricultural lands and private property near conservation land. (A) The UDWR, or
other parties as authorized in writing by the Service, will ensure that permitted take on agricultural lands and
properties within 0.8 km (0.5 mi) of conservation lands does not exceed 10 percent of the estimated rangewide
population annually.
(B) On agricultural lands, the UDWR, or other parties as authorized in writing by the Service, will limit permitted
take to 7 percent of the estimated annual rangewide population and will limit within-colony take to one-half of a
colony's estimated annual production. The UDWR, or other parties as authorized in writing by the Service, will
spatially distribute the 7 percent allowed take on agricultural lands across the three Recovery Units, based on the
distribution of the total annual population estimate within each Recovery Unit.
(C) In setting take limits on properties within 0.8 km (0.5 mi) of conservation lands, the UDWR, or other parties as
authorized in writing by the Service, will consider the amount of take that occurs on agricultural lands. The State,
or other parties as authorized in writing by the Service, will restrict the remaining permitted take (the amount that
would bring the total take up to 10 percent of the estimated annual rangewide population) on properties within 0.8
km (0.5 mi) of conservation lands to animals in excess of the baseline population. The baseline population of these
lands is determined in accordance with paragraph (g)(3)(iii)(D) of this section.
(D) Take on properties within 0.8 km (0.5 mi) of conservation lands is restricted to prairie dogs in excess of the
baseline population. The baseline population is the highest estimated total (summer) population size on that
property during the 5 years prior to the establishment of the conservation property, except that if no UDWR
surveys to determine population size on a property were conducted during such 5-year period, the baseline
population is the estimated total (summer) population size on that property as determined in the first survey
conducted after the establishment of the conservation property. The baseline population will be established by the
UDWR, or other parties as authorized in writing by the Service.
(E) Translocated Utah prairie dogs will count toward the take limits in paragraphs (g)(3)(iii)(A) through (D) of this
section.
(iv) Methods of allowed direct take on agricultural lands and private properties near conservation land. Methods for
controlling Utah prairie dogs on agricultural lands and properties within 0.8 km (0.5 mi) of conservation lands are
limited to activities associated with translocation efforts by trained and permitted individuals complying with current
Service-approved guidance, trapping intended for lethal removal, and shooting. Actions intended to drown or
poison Utah prairie dogs and the use of gas cartridges, anticoagulants, and explosive devices are prohibited.
(4) Human safety hazards and significant human cultural or human burial sites. (i) Nonlethal take is allowed where
Utah prairie dogs create serious human safety hazards or disturb the sanctity of significant human cultural or
human burial sites, if approved in writing by the Service. To reduce hazards, prairie dog burrows may be filled with
dirt if they are directly creating human hazards or disturbing the sanctity of significant human cultural or human
burial sites. Utah prairie dogs also may be translocated from these sites to approved translocation sites by
properly trained personnel using Service-approved translocation protocols.
(ii) Direct or intentional lethal take is allowed where Utah prairie dogs create serious human safety hazards or
disturb the sanctity of significant human cultural or human burial sites, but only after all practicable measures to
resolve the conflict are implemented, and only as approved in writing by the Service. A permit is not required to
allow take under these conditions.
(A) All practicable measures means, with respect to these situations:
(1) Construction of prairie-dog-proof fence, above and below grade to specifications approved by the Service,
around the area in which there is concern.
(2) Translocation of Utah prairie dogs out of the fenced area in which there is a concern must be conducted prior to
allowing lethal take. Lethal take is allowed only to remove prairie dogs that remain in these areas after the
measures to fence and translocate are successfully carried out.
(3) Continued maintenance or modification of the fence as needed to preclude Utah prairie dogs from entering the
fenced sites.
(B) There are no restrictions on the amount, timing, or methods of lethal take allowed on lands where Utah prairie
dogs create serious human safety hazards or disturb the sanctity of significant human cultural or human burial
sites, as long as all qualifications in paragraphs (g)(4)(ii)(A)(1)through (3) of this section are met.
(C) The amount of take in areas where Utah prairie dogs create serious human safety hazards or disturb the
sanctity of significant human cultural or human burial sites does not contribute to the upper permitted take limits
described above for agricultural lands and private properties within 0.8 km (0.5 mi) of conservation lands.
(5) Incidental take associated with agriculture. Utah prairie dogs may be taken when take is incidental to
otherwise-legal activities associated with legal and standard agricultural practices on legitimately operating
agricultural lands. Acceptable practices include plowing to depths that do not exceed 46 cm (18 in.), discing,
harrowing, irrigating crops, mowing, harvesting, and bailing, as long as the activities are not intended to eradicate
Utah prairie dogs. There is no numeric limit established for incidental take associated with standard agricultural
practices. Incidental take is in addition to, and does not contribute to, the take limits described in paragraphs (g)(2)
through (4) of this section. A permit is not required for incidental take associated with agricultural practices.
(6) If the Service receives evidence that take pursuant to paragraphs (g)(2) through (5) of this section is having an
effect that is inconsistent with the conservation of the Utah prairie dog, the Service may immediately prohibit or
restrict such take as appropriate for the conservation of the species. The Service will notify the permitting entities
in writing if take restrictions are necessary.
(h) Mountain lion (Felis concolor). (1) Except as allowed in paragraphs (h)(2), (h)(3), and (h)(4) of this section, no
person shall take any free-living mountain lion (Felis concolor) in Florida.
(2) A mountain lion (Felis concolor) may be taken in this area under a valid threatened species permit issued
pursuant to 50 CFR 17.52.
(3) A mountain lion (Felis concolor) may be taken in Florida by an employee or designated agent of the Service or
the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission for taxonomic identification or other reasons consistent with
the conservation of the endangered Florida panther (Felis concolor coryi). When it has been established by the
Service, in consultation with the State, that an animal in question is not a Florida panther (Felis concolor coryi) or
an eastern cougar (Felis concolor couguar), such animals may be removed from the wild. The disposition of
animals so taken shall be at the discretion of the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, with the
concurrence of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
(4) Take for reasons of human safety is allowed as specified under 50 CFR 17.21(c)(2) and 17.21(c)(3)(iv).
(5) Any take pursuant to paragraph (h)(4) of this section must be reported in writing to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Office of Law Enforcement, 4401 N. Fairfax Drive, LE-3000, Arlington, VA 22203, within 5 days. The
specimen may only be retained, disposed of, or salvaged in accordance with directions from the Service.
(i) Columbian white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus leucurus) (CWTD), the Columbia River distinct population
segment. (1) General requirements. Other than as expressly provided at paragraph (i)(3) of this section, the
provisions of §17.31(a) apply to the CWTD.
(2) Definitions. For the purposes of this entry:
(i) CWTD means the Columbia River distinct population segment (DPS) of Columbian white-tailed deer or
individual specimens of CWTD.
(ii) Intentional harassment means an intentional act which creates the likelihood of injury to wildlife by annoying it
to such an extent as to significantly disrupt normal behavior patterns which include, but are not limited to,
breeding, feeding, or sheltering. Intentional harassment may include prior purposeful actions to attract, track, wait
for, or search out CWTD, or purposeful actions to deter CWTD.
(iii) Problem CWTD means an individual specimen of CWTD that has been identified in writing by a State
conservation agency or the Service as meeting the following criteria:
(A) The CWTD is causing more than de minimus negative economic impact to a commercial crop;
(B) Previous efforts to alleviate the damage through nonlethal methods have been ineffective; and
(C) There is a reasonable certainty that additional property losses will occur in the near future if a lethal control
action is not implemented.
(iv) Commercial crop means commercially raised horticultural, agricultural, or forest products.
(v) State conservation agency means the State agency in Oregon or Washington operating a conservation
program for CWTD pursuant to the terms of a cooperative agreement with the Service in accordance with section
6(c) of the Endangered Species Act.
(3) Allowable forms of take of CWTD. Take of CWTD resulting from the following legally conducted activities is
allowed:
(i) Intentional harassment not likely to cause mortality. A State conservation agency may issue permits to
landowners or their agents to harass CWTD on lands they own, rent, or lease if the State conservation agency
determines in writing that such action is not likely to cause mortality of CWTD. The techniques employed in this
harassment must occur only as specifically directed or restricted by the State permit in order to avoid causing
CWTD mortality.
(ii) Take of problem CWTD resulting in mortality. Take of problem CWTD is authorized under the following
circumstances:
(A) Any employee or agent of the Service or the State conservation agency, who is designated by their agency for
such purposes, may, when acting in the course of their official duties, take problem CWTD. This take must occur in
compliance with all other applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.
(B) The State conservation agency may issue a permit to landowners or their agents to take problem CWTD on
lands they own, rent, or lease. Such take must be implemented only as directed and allowed in the permit obtained
from the State conservation agency.
(iii) Accidental take of CWTD when carrying out State-permitted black-tailed deer damage control. Take of CWTD
in the course of carrying out black-tailed deer damage control will be a violation of this rule unless the taking was
accidental; reasonable care was practiced to avoid such taking; and the person causing the take was in
possession of a valid black-tailed deer damage control permit from a State conservation agency. When issuing
black-tailed deer damage control permits, the State conservation agency will provide education regarding
identification of target species. The exercise of reasonable care includes, but is not limited to, the review of the
educational material provided by the State conservation agency and identification of the target before shooting.
(iv) Accidental take of CWTD when carrying out State-permitted black-tailed deer hunting. Take of CWTD in the
course of hunting black-tailed deer will be a violation of this rule unless the take was accidental; the take was in
the course of hunting black-tailed deer under a lawful State permit; and reasonable due care was exercised to
avoid such taking. The State conservation agency will provide educational material to hunters regarding
identification of target species when issuing hunting permits. The exercise of reasonable care includes, but is not
limited to, the review of the educational materials provided by the State conservation agency and identification of
the target before shooting.
(4) Take limits. The amount of take of CWTD allowed for the activities in paragraphs (i)(3)(ii), (iii), and (iv) of this
section will not exceed 5 percent of the CWTD population during any calendar year, as determined by the Service.
By December 31 of each year, the Service will use the most current annual DPS population estimate to set the
maximum allowable take for these activities for the following calendar year. If take exceeds 2 percent of the DPS
population in a given calendar year, the Service will convene a meeting with the Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to discuss CWTD management and strategies to
minimize further take from these activities for the rest of the year. If take exceeds 5 percent of the CWTD
population in any given calendar year, no further take under paragraphs (i)(3)(ii), (iii), and (iv) will be allowed
during that year and any further take that does occur may be subject to prosecution under the Endangered
Species Act.
(5) Reporting and disposal requirements. Any injury or mortality of CWTD associated with the actions authorized
under paragraphs (i)(3), (6), and (7) of this section must be reported to the Service within 72 hours, and specimens
may be disposed of only in accordance with directions from the Service. Reports should be made to the Service's
Law Enforcement Office at (503) 231-6125, or the Service's Oregon Fish and Wildlife Office at (503) 231-6179.
The Service may allow additional reasonable time for reporting if access to these offices is limited due to closure.
(6) Additional taking authorizations for Tribal employees, State and local law enforcement officers, and Statelicensed wildlife rehabilitation facilities. (i) Tribal employees and State and local government law enforcement
officers. When acting in the course of their official duties, both Tribal employees designated by the Tribe for such
purposes, and State and local government law enforcement officers working in the States of Oregon or
Washington, may take CWTD for the following purposes:
(A) Aiding or euthanizing sick, injured, or orphaned CWTD;
(B) Disposing of a dead specimen; and
(C) Salvaging a dead specimen that may be used for scientific study.
(ii) Such take must be reported to the Service within 72 hours, and specimens may be disposed of only in
accordance with directions from the Service.
(7) Wildlife rehabilitation facilities licensed by the States of Oregon or Washington. When acting in the course of
their official duties, a State-licensed wildlife rehabilitation facility may take CWTD for the purpose of aiding or
euthanizing sick, injured, or orphaned CWTD. Such take must be reported to the Service within 72 hours as
required by paragraph (i)(5) of this section, and specimens may be retained and disposed of only in accordance
with directions from the Service.
(8) Take authorized by permits. Any person with a valid permit issued by the Service under §17.32 may take
CWTD, pursuant to the special terms and conditions of the permit.
(j) Argali (Ovis ammon) in Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, and Tajikistan. (1) Except as noted in paragraph (j)(2) of this
section, all prohibitions of §17.31 of this part and exemptions of §17.32 of this part shall apply to this species in
Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, and Tajikistan
(Note. In all other parts of its range the argali is classified as endangered and covered by §17.21).
(2) Upon receiving from the governments of Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, and Tajikistan properly documented and
verifiable certification that (i) argali populations in those countries are sufficiently large to sustain sport hunting, (ii)
regulating authorities have the capacity to obtain sound data on these populations, (iii) regulating authorities
recognize these populations as a valuable resource and have the legal and practical capacity to manage them as
such, (iv) the habitat of these populations is secure, (v) regulating authorities can ensure that the involved trophies
have in fact been legally taken from the specified populations, and (vi) funds derived from the involved sport
hunting are applied primarily to argali conservation, the Director may, consistent with the purposes of the Act,
authorize by publication of a notice in the Federal Register the importation of personal sport-hunted argali trophies,
taken legally in Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, and Tajikistan after the date of such notice, without a Threatened Species
permit pursuant to §17.32 of this part, provided that the applicable provisions of 50 CFR part 23 have been met.
(k) Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis). (1) What lynx does this special rule apply to? The regulations in this paragraph
(k) apply to all wild and captive lynx in the contiguous United States.
(2) What activities are prohibited for wild lynx? All prohibitions and provisions of 50 CFR 17.31 and 17.32 apply to
wild lynx found in the contiguous United States.
(3) What is considered a captive lynx? (i) For purposes of this paragraph (k), captive lynx means lynx, whether
alive or dead, and any part or product, if the specimen was in captivity at the time of the listing, born in captivity, or
lawfully imported or transported into the contiguous United States.
(ii) Lynx that were either born or held in captivity and then released into the wild are considered wild.
(4) What activities are allowed for captive lynx? (i) Take. You may take lawfully obtained captive lynx without a
permit.
(ii) Import and export. You may export captive live lynx, parts or products of captive lynx provided the specimens
are tagged with Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) export
tags and/or accompanied by a valid CITES export permit. You may import lawfully obtained lynx that originated
outside the United States when you follow the requirements of CITES.
(iii) Interstate commerce. You may deliver, receive, carry, transport, ship, sell, offer to sell, purchase, or offer to
purchase in interstate commerce captive lynx and captive lynx parts and products in accordance with State or
tribal laws and regulations. In addition, lynx pelts that are properly tagged with valid CITES export tags also qualify
for this exemption on interstate commerce.
(5) Are any activities not allowed or restricted for captive lynx? You must comply with all applicable State and tribal
laws and regulations. Violation of State or tribal law will also be a violation of the Act.
(l) Preble's meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei). (1) What is the definition of take? To harass, harm,
pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, trap, kill, or collect; or attempt to engage in any such conduct. Incidental take is that
which occurs when it is incidental to and not the purpose of an otherwise lawful activity. Any take that is not
authorized by permit provided through section 7 or section 10 of the Act or that is not covered by the exemptions
described below is considered illegal take.
(2) When is take of Preble's meadow jumping mice allowed? Take of Preble's meadow jumping mice resulting from
the following legally conducted activities, in certain circumstances as described below, is allowed:
(i) Take under permits. Any person with a valid permit issued by the Service under §17.32 may take Preble's
meadow jumping mice pursuant to the terms of the permit.
(ii) Rodent control. Preble's meadow jumping mice may be taken incidental to rodent control undertaken within 10
feet of or inside any structure. “Rodent control” includes control of mice and rats by trapping, capturing, or
otherwise physically capturing or killing, or poisoning by any substance registered with the Environmental
Protection Agency as required by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. 136) and
applied consistent with its labeling. “Structure” includes but is not limited to any building, stable, grain silo, corral,
barn, shed, water or sewage treatment equipment or facility, enclosed parking structure, shelter, gazebo,
bandshell, or restroom complex.
(iii) Established, ongoing agricultural activities. Preble's meadow jumping mice may be taken incidental to
agricultural activities, including grazing, plowing, seeding, cultivating, minor drainage, burning, mowing, and
harvesting, as long as these activities are established, ongoing activities and do not increase impacts to or further
encroach upon the Preble's meadow jumping mouse or its habitat. New agricultural activities or those that expand
the footprint or intensity of the activity are not considered to be established, ongoing activities.
(iv) Maintenance and replacement of existing landscaping. Preble's meadow jumping mice may be taken incidental
to the maintenance and replacement of any landscaping and related structures and improvements, as long as they
are currently in place and no increase in impervious surfaces would result from their maintenance and
improvement. Construction of new structures or improvements or expansion of the landscaping in a manner that
increases impervious surfaces would not be considered maintenance and replacement of existing landscaping.
(v) Existing uses of water. Preble's meadow jumping mice may be taken incidentally as a result of existing uses of
water associated with the exercise of perfected water rights pursuant to State law and interstate compacts and
decrees. (A “perfected water right” is a right that has been put to beneficial use and has been permitted, decreed,
or adjudicated pursuant to State law.) Increasing the use or altering the location of use of an existing water right
would not be considered an existing use of water.
(vi) Noxious weed control. Preble's meadow jumping mice may be taken incidental to noxious weed control that is
conducted in accordance with:
(A) Federal law, including Environmental Protection Agency label restrictions;
(B) Applicable State laws for noxious weed control;

(D) Herbicide application guidelines as prescribed by herbicide manufacturers; and
(E) Any future revisions to the authorities listed in paragraphs (l)(2)(vi)(A) through (D) of this section that apply to
the herbicides proposed for use within the species' range.
(vii) Ditch maintenance activities. Preble's meadow jumping mice may be taken incidental to normal and customary
ditch maintenance activities only if the activities:
(A) Result in the annual loss of no more than 1⁄4 mile of riparian shrub habitat per linear mile of ditch, including
burning of ditches that results in the annual loss of no more than 1⁄4 mile of riparian shrub habitat per linear mile of
ditch.
(B) Are performed within the historic footprint of the surface disturbance associated with ditches and related
infrastructure, and
(C) Follow the Best Management Practices described in paragraphs (l)(2)(vii)(C)(1) through (3) of this section.
(1) Persons engaged in ditch maintenance activities shall avoid, to the maximum extent practicable, impacts to
shrub vegetation. For example, if accessing the ditch for maintenance or repair activities from an area containing
no shrubs is possible, then damage to adjacent shrub vegetation shall be avoided.
(2) Persons engaged in placement or sidecasting of silt and debris removed during ditch cleaning, vegetation or
mulch from mowing or cutting, and other material from ditch maintenance shall, to the maximum extent
practicable, avoid shrub habitat and at no time disturb more than 1⁄4 mile of riparian shrub habitat per linear mile of
ditch within any calendar year.
(3) To the maximum extent practicable, all ditch maintenance activities should be carried out during the Preble's
hibernation season, November through April.
(D) All ditch maintenance activities carried out during the Preble's active season, May through October, should be
conducted during daylight hours only.
(E) Ditch maintenance activities that would result in permanent or long-term loss of potential habitat that would not
be considered normal or customary include replacement of existing infrastructure with components of substantially
different materials and design, such as replacement of open ditches with pipeline or concrete-lined ditches,
replacement of an existing gravel access road with a permanently paved road, or replacement of an earthen
diversion structure with a rip-rap and concrete structure, and construction of new infrastructure or the movement of
existing infrastructure to new locations, such as realignment of a ditch, building a new access road, or installation
of new diversion works where none previously existed.
(3) When is take of Preble's not allowed? (i) Any manner of take not described under paragraph (l)(2) of this
section.
(ii) No person may import or export, ship in interstate commerce in the course of commercial activity, or sell or offer
for sale in interstate or foreign commerce any Preble's meadow jumping mice.
(iii) No person, except for an authorized person, may possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, or ship any Preble's
meadow jumping mice that have been taken illegally.
(4) Where does this rule apply? The take exemptions provided by this rule are applicable within the entire range of
the Preble's meadow jumping mouse.
(m) Vicuña (Vicugna vicugna)— (1) What activities involving vicuña are prohibited by this rule? (i) Appendix I
populations. All provisions of §17.31 (a) and (b) and §17.32 apply to vicuña and vicuña parts and products
originating from populations currently listed in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered
Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
(ii) Import, export, and re-export. Except as provided in paragraph (m)(2) of this section, it is unlawful to import,
export, or re-export, or present for export or re-export without valid permits as required under parts 17 and 23 of
this subchapter, any vicuña or vicuña parts and products. For import of embryos, blood, other tissue samples, or
live vicuña, permits required under §17.32 and part 23 will be issued only for bona fide scientific research
contributing to the conservation of the species in the wild.
(iii) Other activities. Except as provided in paragraph (m)(2) of this section, it is unlawful to sell or offer for sale,
deliver, receive, carry, transport, or ship in interstate or foreign commerce and in the course of a commercial
activity any vicuña or vicuña parts and products.
(iv) It is unlawful for any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to commit, attempt to commit, solicit
to commit, or cause to be committed any acts described in paragraphs (m)(1)(ii)-(iii) of this section.
(2) What activities involving vicuña are allowed by this rule? You may import, export, or re-export, or conduct
interstate or foreign commerce in raw wool sheared from live vicuñas, cloth made from such wool, or
manufactured or handicraft products and articles made from or consisting of such wool or cloth without a
threatened species permit issued according to §17.32 only when the following provisions have been met:
(i) The specimens originated from a population listed in CITES Appendix II.
(ii) The provisions in parts 13, 14, and 23 of this subchapter are met, including the specific labeling provisions in
part 23.
(iii) Personal and household effects. Under the provisions of this special rule, raw wool sheared from live vicuñas,
cloth made from such wool, or manufactured or handicraft products and articles made from or consisting of such
wool or cloth are not granted the personal or household effects exemption described in part 23 of this subchapter.
In addition to the provisions of this paragraph (m)(2), such specimens may only be imported, exported, or reexported when accompanied by a valid CITES document.
(iv) Labeling of wool sheared from live vicuñas. Any shipment of raw wool sheared from live vicuñas must be
sealed with a tamper-proof seal and have the following:
(A) An identification tag with a code identifying the country of origin of the raw vicuña wool and the CITES export
permit number; and
(B) The vicuña logotype as defined in 50 CFR part 23 and the words “VICUÑA—COUNTRY OF ORIGIN”, where
country of origin is the name of the country from which the raw vicuña wool was first exported.
(v) At the time of import, the country of origin and each country of re-export involved in the trade of a particular
shipment have not been identified by the CITES Conference of the Parties, the CITES Standing Committee, or in a
Notification from the CITES Secretariat as a country from which Parties should not accept permits.
(3) When and how will the Service inform the public of additional restrictions in trade of vicuña? Except in rare
cases involving extenuating circumstances that do not adversely affect the conservation of the species, we will
issue a public bulletin that identifies a restriction on trade in specimens of vicuña addressed in this paragraph (m) if
any of the following criteria are met:
(i) The country is identified in any action adopted by the Conference of the Parties to the Convention, the
Convention's Standing Committee, or in a Notification issued by the CITES Secretariat, whereby Parties are asked
not to accept shipments of specimens of any CITES-listed species from the country in question.
(ii) The Service's Division of Scientific Authority administratively determines that the conservation or management
status of threatened vicuña populations in a range country has changed, such that continued recovery of the
vicuña population in that country may be compromised, as a result of one or more of the following factors:
(A) A change in range country laws or regulations that lessens protection for vicuña;
(B) A change in range country management programs that lessens protection for vicuña;
(C) A documented decline in wild vicuña population numbers;
(D) A documented increase in poaching of vicuña;
(E) A documented decline in vicuña habitat quality or quantity; or
(F) Other natural or man-made factors affecting the species' recovery.
(4) What must vicuña range countries do in order to be authorized under the special rule to export to the United
States?—(i) Annual Report. Range country governments (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru) wishing to export
specimens of vicuña to the United States will need to provide an annual report containing the most recent
information available on the status of the species, following the information guidelines specified below. The first
submission of a status report will be required as of July 1, 2003, and every year thereafter on the anniversary of
that date. For each range country, the following information should be provided in the annual report:
(A) A description of any revisions to the management program, especially any changes in management
approaches or emphasis;
(B) New information obtained in the last year on vicuña distribution, population status, or population trends, for the
country as a whole or for specific protected areas, and a detailed description of the methodology used to obtain
such information;
(C) Results of any research projects concluded in the last year on the biology of vicuña in the wild, particularly its
population biology, habitat use, and genetics, and a description of any new research projects undertaken on the
biology of vicuña in the wild, particularly its population biology, habitat use, and genetics;
(D) A description of any changes to national and/or provincial laws and programs relating to vicuña conservation,
in particular those laws and regulations related to harvest and use of the vicuña, and export of vicuña parts and
products;
(E) A description of any changes in the number or size of natural reserves or national parks that provide protected
habitat for the vicuña;
(F) A summary of law enforcement activities undertaken in the last year, and a description of any changes in
programs to prevent poaching, smuggling, and illegal commercialization of the vicuña;
(G) A description of the current management and harvest (or “sustainable use”) programs for wild populations of
the vicuña, including: any changes in the location and population size of wild populations being managed for
sustainable use; any changes in the harvest management practices being used for each population; any changes
in current harvest quotas for wild populations, if any; any changes in protocols for translocations undertaken as
part of the use program; a summary of the specific financial costs of and revenues generated by the sustainable
use program over the last year; and a summary of documented conservation benefits resulting from the
sustainable use program over the last year;
(H) A description of current management and harvest (or “sustainable use”) programs for captive and so-called
“semi-captive” populations of the vicuña, including: any changes in the number and location of all captive and
“semi-captive” populations; any changes in the size (ha) of each captive enclosure and the number of vicuña
maintained therein; any changes in protocols for translocations undertaken as part of the use program; a summary
of the financial costs of and revenues generated by the sustainable use program over the last year; and
documented conservation benefits resulting from the sustainable use program over the last year (information on
captive and “semi-captive” populations must be separate from that provided for wild populations); and
(I) Export data for the last year.
(ii) The Service's Division of Scientific Authority will conduct a review every 2 years, using information in the annual
reports, to determine whether range country management programs are effectively achieving conservation
benefits for the vicuña. Failure to submit an annual report could result in a restriction on trade in specimens of
vicuña as addressed in paragraph (m)(3) of this section. Based on information contained in the annual reports and
any other pertinent information it has available, the Service may restrict trade from a range country, as addressed
in paragraph (m)(3) of this section, if it determines that the conservation or management status of threatened
vicuña populations in a range country has changed, such that continued recovery of the vicuña population in that
country may be compromised. Trade restrictions may result from one or more of the following factors:
(A) A change in range country laws or regulations that lessens protection for vicuña;
(B) A change in range country management programs that lessens protection for vicuña;
(C) A documented decline in wild vicuña population numbers;
(D) A documented increase in poaching of vicuña;
(E) A documented decline in vicuña habitat quality or quantity; or
(F) Other natural or man-made factors affecting the species' recovery.
(n) Straight-horned markhor (Capra falconeri megaceros).
(1) General requirements. Except as noted in paragraph (n)(2) of this section, all prohibitions of §17.31 and
exemptions of §17.32 apply to this subspecies.
(2) What are the criteria under which a personal sport-hunted trophy may qualify for import without a permit under

large to sustain sport hunting and are stable or increasing.
(B) Regulatory authorities have the capacity to obtain sound data on populations.
(C) The conservation program can demonstrate a benefit to both the communities surrounding or within the area
managed by the conservation program and the species, and the funds derived from sport hunting are applied
toward benefits to the community and the species.
(D) Regulatory authorities have the legal and practical capacity to provide for the long-term survival of the
populations.
(E) Regulatory authorities can determine that the sport-hunted trophies have in fact been legally taken from the
populations under an established conservation program.
(o) Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). The provisions of this rule are based upon the occurrence of
white-nose syndrome (WNS), a disease affecting many U.S. bat populations. The term “WNS zone” identifies the
set of counties within the range of the northern long-eared bat within 150 miles of the boundaries of U.S. counties
or Canadian districts where the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd) or WNS has been detected. For
current information regarding the WNS zone, contact your local Service ecological services field office. Field office
contact information may be obtained from the Service regional offices, the addresses of which are listed in 50 CFR
2.2.

(B) Actions that result in the incidental take of northern long-eared bats by altering a known hibernaculum's
entrance or interior environment if it impairs an essential behavioral pattern, including sheltering northern longeared bats.
(C) Tree-removal activities that result in the incidental take of northern long-eared bats when the activity:
(1) Occurs within 0.25 mile (0.4 kilometer) of a known hibernaculum; or
(2) Cuts or destroys known occupied maternity roost trees, or any other trees within a 150-foot (45-meter) radius
from the maternity roost tree, during the pup season (June 1 through July 31).
(iii) Possession and other acts with unlawfully taken northern long-eared bats. It is unlawful to possess, sell,
deliver, carry, transport, or ship, by any means whatsoever, any northern long-eared bat that was taken in violation
of this section or State laws.
(iv) Import and export.
(2) Exceptions from prohibitions. (i) Any person may take a northern long-eared bat in defense of his own life or
the lives of others, including for public health monitoring purposes.
(ii) Any person may take a northern long-eared bat that results from the removal of hazardous trees for the
protection of human life and property.
(iii) Any person may take a northern long-eared bat by removing it from human structures, but only if the actions
comply with all applicable State regulations.
(iv) Purposeful take that results from actions relating to capture, handling, and related activities for northern longeared bats by individuals permitted to conduct these same activities for other species of bat until May 3, 2016.
(v) All of the provisions of §17.32 apply to the northern long-eared bat.

(D) Habitat modification and management of sources of forage, water, and shelter to reduce the attractiveness of
the area around the airport for hazardous wildlife.
(iii) Incidental take of larks caused by accidental aircraft strikes at airports on non-Federal lands is also exempted
from the prohibitions of section 9 of the Act.
(4) What agricultural activities are allowed on non-Federal land in the Willamette Valley in Oregon? Incidental take
of streaked horned lark will not be a violation of section 9 of the Act, if the incidental take results from accepted
agricultural (farming) practices implemented on farms consistent with State laws on non-Federal lands.
(i) For the purposes of this special rule, farm means any facility, including land, buildings, watercourses and
appurtenances, used in the commercial production of crops, nursery stock, livestock, poultry, livestock products,
poultry products, vermiculture products, or the propagation and raising of nursery stock.
(ii) For the purposes of this special rule, an agricultural (farming) practice means a mode of operation on a farm
that:
(A) Is or may be used on a farm of a similar nature;
(B) Is a generally accepted, reasonable, and prudent method for the operation of the farm to obtain a profit in
money;
(C) Is or may become a generally accepted, reasonable, and prudent method in conjunction with farm use;
(D) Complies with applicable State laws; and

not include improvement or construction of new roads) and graveled margins of rural roads;
(C) Livestock grazing according to normally acceptable and established levels;
(D) Hazing of geese or predators; and
(E) Maintenance of irrigation and drainage systems.
(5) What noxious weed control activities are allowed on non-Federal lands? Incidental take of streaked horned lark
will not be a violation of section 9 of the Act, if the incidental take results from routine removal or other
management of noxious weeds. Routine removal or other management of noxious weeds are limited to the
following, and must be conducted in such a way that impacts to non-target plants are avoided to the maximum
extent practicable:
(i) Mowing;
(ii) Herbicide and fungicide application;
(iii) Fumigation; and
(iv) Burning.
(b) Coastal California gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica californica). (1) Except as noted in paragraphs (b)(2) and
(3) of this section, all prohibitions of §17.31(a) and (b) shall apply to the coastal California gnatcatcher.
(2) Incidental take of the coastal California gnatcatcher will not be considered a violation of section 9 of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), if it results from activities conducted pursuant to the State of
California's Natural Community Conservation Planning Act of 1991 (NCCP), and in accordance with a NCCP plan
for the protection of coastal sage scrub habitat, prepared consistent with the State's NCCP Conservation and
Process Guidelines, provided that:
(i) The NCCP plan has been prepared, approved, and implemented pursuant to California Fish and Game Code
sections 2800-2840; and
(ii) The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has issued written concurrence that the NCCP plan meets the
standards set forth in 50 CFR 17.32(b)(2). The Service shall issue its concurrence pursuant to the provisions of the
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), dated December 4, 1991, between the California Department of Fish and
Game and the Service regarding coastal sage scrub natural community conservation planning in southern
California. (Copies of the State's NCCP Conservation and Process Guidelines and the MOU are available from the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Carlsbad Field Office, 2730 Loker Avenue West, Carlsbad, CA 92008.) The Service
shall monitor the implementation of the NCCP plan and may revoke its concurrence under this paragraph (b)(2)(ii)
if the NCCP plan, as implemented, fails to adhere to the standards set forth in 50 CFR 17.32(b)(2).
(3) During the period that a NCCP plan referred to in paragraph (b)(2) of this section is being prepared, incidental
take of the coastal California gnatcatcher will not be a violation of section 9 of the Act if such take occurs within an
area under the jurisdiction of a local government agency that is enrolled and actively engaged in the preparation of
such a plan and such take results from activities conducted in accordance with the NCCP Conservation Guidelines
and Process Guidelines.
(4) The Service will monitor the implementation of the NCCP Conservation and Process Guidelines as a whole,
and will conduct a review every 6 months to determine whether the guidelines, as implemented, are effective in
progressing toward or meeting regional and subregional conservation objectives during the interim planning
period. If the Service determines that the guidelines are not effecting adequate progress toward or meeting
regional and subregional conservation objectives, the Service will consult with the California Department of Fish
and Game pursuant to the MOU to seek appropriate modification of the guidelines or their application as defined
therein. If appropriate modification of the guidelines or their application as defined therein does not occur, the
Service may revoke the interim take provisions of this special rule on a subregional or subarea basis. The Service
will publish the findings for revocation in the Federal Register and provide for a 30-day public comment period prior
to the effective date for revoking the provisions of the special rule in a particular area. Revocation would result in
the reinstatement of the take prohibitions set forth under 50 CFR 17.31(a) and (b) in the affected NCCP area.

(3) Interstate commerce. Except where use after import is restricted under §23.55 of this chapter, you may deliver,
receive, carry, transport, or ship in interstate commerce and in the course of a commercial activity, or sell or offer to
sell, in interstate commerce the species listed in this paragraph (c) without a permit under the Act.
(d) Hawaiian goose (Branta sandvicensis) (nene). (1) Definitions. For the purposes of this paragraph (d):
(i) Nene means the Hawaiian goose (Branta sandvicensis).
(ii) Intentional harassment means an intentional act that creates the likelihood of injury to wildlife by annoying it to
such an extent as to significantly disrupt normal behavior patterns, which include, but are not limited to, breeding,
feeding, or sheltering. Intentional harassment may include prior purposeful actions to attract, track, wait for, or
search out nene, or purposeful actions to deter nene.
(iii) Person means a person as defined by section 3(13) of the Act.
(iv) Qualified biologist means an individual with a combination of academic training in the area of wildlife biology or
related discipline and demonstrated field experience in the identification and life history of nene.
(2) Prohibitions. The following prohibitions apply to the nene except as provided under paragraph (d)(3) of this
section and §§17.4 through 17.6:
(i) Import or export as provided in §17.21(b).
(ii) Take as provided in §17.21(c)(1).
(iii) Possession and other acts with unlawfully taken specimens as provided in §17.21(d)(1).
(iv) Interstate or foreign commerce in the course of commercial activity as provided in §17.21(e).
(v) Sale or offer for sale as provided in §17.21(f).
(vi) Attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or to cause to be committed, any of the acts described in
paragraphs (d)(2)(i) through (v) of this section.
(3) Exceptions from prohibitions. The following exceptions from prohibitions apply to the nene:
(i) Authorization provided under §17.32.
(ii) Take as provided in §17.21(c)(2) through (7). However, §17.21(c)(5)(i) through (iv) does not apply.
(iii) Take incidental to an otherwise lawful activity caused by:
(A) Intentional harassment of nene that is not likely to cause direct injury or mortality. A person may harass nene
on lands they own, rent, or lease, if the action is not likely to cause direct injury or mortality of nene. Techniques for
such harassment may include the use of predator effigies (including raptor kites, predator replicas, etc.),
commercial chemical bird repellents, ultrasonic repellers, audio deterrents (noisemakers, pyrotechnics, etc.),
herding or harassing with trained or tethered dogs, or access control (including netting, fencing, etc.). Nene may
also be harassed in the course of surveys that benefit and further the recovery of nene. Such harassment
techniques must avoid causing direct injury or mortality to nene. Before implementation of any such intentional
harassment activities during the nene breeding season (September through April), a qualified biologist
knowledgeable about the nesting behavior of nene must survey in and around the area to determine whether a
nest or goslings are present. If a nest is discovered, the Service and authorized State wildlife officials must be
notified within 72 hours (see paragraph (d)(4) of this section for contact information) and the following measures
implemented to avoid disturbance of nests and broods:
(1) No disruptive activities may occur within a 100-foot (30-meter) buffer around all active nests and broods until
the goslings have fledged;
(2) Brooding adults (i.e., adults with an active nest or goslings) or adults in molt may not be subject to intentional
harassment at any time; and
(3) The landowner must arrange follow-up surveys of the property by qualified biologists to assess the status of
birds present.
(B) Nonnative predator control or habitat management activities. A person may incidentally take nene in the course
of carrying out nonnative predator control or habitat management activities for nene conservation purposes if
reasonable care is practiced to minimize effects to the nene.
(1) Nonnative predator control activities for the conservation of nene include use of fencing, trapping, shooting,
and toxicants to control predators, and related activities such as performing efficacy surveys, trap checks, and
maintenance duties. Reasonable care for predator control activities may include, but is not limited to, procuring
and implementing technical assistance from a qualified biologist on predator control methods and protocols prior to
application of methods; compliance with all State and Federal regulations and guidelines for application of predator
control methods; and judicious use of methods and tool adaptations to reduce the likelihood of nene ingesting bait,
interacting with mechanical devices, or being injured or dying from interaction with mechanical devices.
(2) Habitat management activities for the conservation of nene include: Mowing, weeding, fertilizing, herbicide
application, and irrigating existing pasture areas for conservation purposes; planting native food resources;
providing watering areas, such as water units or ponds or catchments, designed to be safe for goslings and
flightless/molting adults; providing temporary supplemental feeding and watering stations when appropriate, such
as under poor quality forage or extreme conditions (e.g., drought or fire); if mechanical mowing of pastures for
conservation management purposes is not feasible, alternate methods of keeping grass short, such as grazing;
and large-scale restoration of native habitat (e.g., feral ungulate control, fencing). Reasonable care for habitat
management may include, but is not limited to, procuring and implementing technical assistance from a qualified
biologist on habitat management activities, and best efforts to minimize nene exposure to hazards (e.g., predation,
habituation to feeding, entanglement, and vehicle collisions).
(C) Actions carried out by law enforcement officers in the course of official law enforcement duties. When acting in
the course of their official duties, State and local government law enforcement officers, working in conjunction with
authorized wildlife biologists and wildlife rehabilitators in the State of Hawaii, may take nene for the following
purposes:
(1) Aiding or euthanizing sick, injured, or orphaned nene;
(2) Disposing of a dead specimen; or
(3) Salvaging a dead specimen that may be used for scientific study; or
(4) Possession and other acts with unlawfully taken specimens as provided in §17.21(d)(2) through (4)).
(4) Reporting and disposal requirements. Any injury or mortality of nene associated with the actions excepted
under paragraphs (d)(3)(iii)(A) through (C) of this section must be reported to the Service and authorized State
wildlife officials within 72 hours, and specimens may be disposed of only in accordance with directions from the
Service. Reports should be made to the Service's Office of Law Enforcement at (808) 861-8525, or the Service's
Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office at (808) 792-9400. The State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural
Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife may be contacted at (808) 587-0166. The Service may allow
additional reasonable time for reporting if access to these offices is limited due to closure.
(e) Elfin-woods warbler (Setophaga angelae). (1) Prohibitions. Except as noted in paragraph (e)(2) of this section,
all prohibitions and provisions of 50 CFR 17.31 and 17.32 apply to the elfin-woods warbler.
(2) Exemptions from prohibitions. Incidental take of the elfin-woods warbler will not be considered a violation of
section 9 of the Act if the take results from any of the following when conducted within habitats currently occupied
by the elfin-woods warbler provided these activities abide by the conservation measures set forth in this paragraph
(e) and are conducted in accordance with applicable State, Federal, and local laws and regulations:
(i) The conversion of sun-grown coffee to shade-grown coffee plantations by the restoration and maintenance
(i.e.,removal of invasive, exotic, and feral species; shade and coffee tree seasonal pruning; shade and coffee tree
planting and replacement; coffee bean harvest by hands-on methods; and the use of standard pest control
methods and fertilizers within the plantations) of shade-grown coffee plantations and native forests associated with
this type of crop. To minimize disturbance to the elfin-woods warbler, shade and coffee tree seasonal pruning must
be conducted between September 1 and February 28, which is the time period outside the peak of the elfin-woods
warbler's breeding season. The Service considers the use of pest control methods (e.g., pesticides, herbicides)
and fertilizers “standard” when it is used only twice a year during the establishment period of shade and coffee
trees (i.e., the first 2 years). Once the shade-grown coffee system reaches its functionality and structure (i.e., 3 to
4 years), little or no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides may be used.
(ii) Riparian buffer establishment though the planting of native vegetation and selective removal of exotic species.
(iii) Reforestation and forested habitat enhancement projects within secondary forests (i.e., young and mature) that
promote the establishment or improvement of habitat conditions for the species by the planting of native trees,
selective removal of native and exotic trees, seasonal pruning of native and exotic trees, or a combination of
these.

requirements in paragraph (c)(3)(i) of this section for skins and parts do not apply to the import, export, or reexport of threatened crocodilian meat, skulls, scientific specimens, or products or to the noncommercial import,
export, or re-export of personal effects in accompanying baggage or household effects.
(4) When and how will the Service inform the public of additional restrictions in trade of threatened crocodilians?
Except in rare cases involving extenuating circumstances that do not adversely affect the conservation of the
species, the Service will issue an information bulletin (posted on our
websites, http://www.fws.gov/le and http://www.fws.gov/international) announcing additional restrictions on trade of
specimens of threatened crocodilians if any of the following criteria are met:
(i) The country is listed in a Notification to the Parties by the CITES Secretariat as not having designated
Management and Scientific Authorities.
(ii) The country is identified in any action adopted by the Conference of the Parties to the Convention, the Standing
Committee, or in a Notification issued by the CITES Secretariat, whereby Parties are asked not to accept
shipments of specimens of any CITES species from the country in question or of any crocodilian species listed in
the CITES Appendices.
(iii) We determine, based on information from the CITES Secretariat or other reliable sources, that the country is
not effectively implementing the provisions of the Convention.
(5) Reporting requirements for yacare caiman range countries—(i) Biennial reports. Range countries (Argentina,
Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay) wishing to export specimens of yacare caiman to the United States for commercial
purposes must provide a biennial report containing the most recent information available on the status of the
species. The first submission of a status report will be required as of December 31, 2001, and every 2 years
thereafter on the anniversary of that date. For each range country, all of the following information must be included
in the report.
(A) Recent distribution and population data, and a description of the methodology used to obtain such estimates.
(B) Description of research projects currently being conducted related to the biology of the species in the wild,
particularly reproductive biology (for example, age or size when animals become sexually mature, number of
clutches per season, number of eggs per clutch, survival of eggs, survival of hatchlings).
(C) Description of laws and programs regulating harvest, including approximate acreage of land set aside as
natural reserves or national parks that provide protected habitat for yacare caiman.
(D) Description of current sustainable harvest programs, including ranching (captive rearing of specimens
collected from the wild as eggs or juveniles) and farming (captive-breeding) programs.
(E) Current harvest quotas for wild populations.
(F) Export data for the last 2 years. Information should be organized according to the source of specimens such as
wild-caught, captive-reared, or captive-bred.
(ii) Review and restrictions. The U.S. Scientific Authority will conduct a review every 2 years, using information in
the biennial reports and other available information, to determine whether range country management programs
are effectively achieving conservation benefits for the yacare caiman. Based on the best available information, we
may restrict trade from a range country if we determine that the conservation or management status of threatened
yacare caiman populations has changed, such that continued recovery of the population in that country may be
compromised. Trade restrictions, as addressed in paragraph (c)(4) of this section, may be implemented based on
one or more of the following factors:
(A) Failure to submit the reports described above, or failure to respond to requests for additional information.
(B) A change in range country laws or regulations that lessens protection for yacare caiman.
(C) A change in range country management programs that lessens protection for the species.
(D) A documented decline in wild population numbers.
(E) A documented increase in poaching.
(F) A documented decline in habitat quality or quantity.

(p) Kentucky arrow darter (Etheostoma spilotum).
(1) Prohibitions. Except as noted in paragraph (p)(2) of this section, all prohibitions and provisions of 50 CFR
17.31 and 17.32 apply to the Kentucky arrow darter.
(2) Exceptions from prohibitions.
(i) All of the activities listed in paragraph (p)(2)(ii) of this section must be conducted in a manner that:
(A) Maintains connectivity of suitable Kentucky arrow darter habitats, allowing for dispersal between streams;
(B) Minimizes instream disturbance by occurring during low-flow periods when possible; and
(C) Maximizes the amount of instream cover that is available for the species.
(ii) Incidental take of the Kentucky arrow darter will not be considered a violation of section 9 of the Act if the take
results from any of the following when conducted within habitats currently occupied by the Kentucky arrow darter:
(A) Channel reconfiguration or restoration projects that create natural, physically stable, ecologically functioning
streams (or stream and wetland systems) that are reconnected with their groundwater aquifers. These projects
can be accomplished using a variety of methods, but the desired outcome is a natural, sinuous channel with low
shear stress (force of water moving against the channel); low bank heights and reconnection to the floodplain; a
reconnection of surface and groundwater systems, resulting in perennial flows in the channel; riffles and pools
composed of existing soil, rock, and wood instead of large imported materials; low compaction of soils within
adjacent riparian areas; and inclusion of riparian wetlands. First- to third-order headwater streams reconstructed in
this way would offer suitable habitats for the Kentucky arrow darter and contain stable channel features, such as
pools, glides, runs, and riffles, which could be used by the species for spawning, rearing, growth, feeding,
migration, and other normal behaviors.
(B) Bank stabilization projects that use State-approved bioengineering methods (specified by the Kentucky Energy
and Environment Cabinet and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet) to replace preexisting, bare, eroding stream
banks with vegetated, stable stream banks, thereby reducing bank erosion and instream sedimentation and
improving habitat conditions for the species. Following these methods, stream banks may be stabilized using live
stakes (live, vegetative cuttings inserted or tamped into the ground in a manner that allows the stake to take root
and grow), live fascines (live branch cuttings, usually willows, bound together into long, cigar-shaped bundles), or
brush layering (cuttings or branches of easily rooted tree species layered between successive lifts of soil fill).
These methods would not include the sole use of quarried rock (rip-rap) or the use of rock baskets or gabion
structures.
(C) Bridge and culvert replacement/removal projects that remove migration barriers (e.g., collapsing, blocked, or
perched culverts) or generally allow for improved upstream and downstream movements of Kentucky arrow
darters while maintaining normal stream flows, preventing bed and bank erosion, and improving habitat conditions
for the species.
(D) Repair and maintenance of U.S. Forest Service concrete plank stream crossings on the Daniel Boone National
Forest (DBNF) that allow for safe vehicle passage while maintaining instream habitats, reducing bank and stream
bed erosion and instream sedimentation, and improving habitat conditions for the species. These concrete plank
crossings have been an effective stream crossing structure on the DBNF and have been used for decades. Over
time, the planks can be buried by sediment, undercut during storm events, or simply break down and decay. If
these situations occur, the DBNF must make repairs or replace the affected plank.
(q) [Reserved]

sturgeon.Except as provided in paragraphs (y)(3) and (y)(5) of this section, all prohibitions and provisions of
§§17.31(a) and 17.32 apply to the international trade in beluga sturgeon, including its parts and derivatives. Live
beluga sturgeon remain subject to all the prohibitions and provisions of §§17.31(a) and 17.32.
(ii) Trade without CITES documents. Except as provided in paragraph (y)(3) of this section, you may not import,
export, or re-export, or present for export or re-export, beluga sturgeon or beluga sturgeon products without valid
CITES permits and other permits and licenses issued under parts 13, 17, and 23 of this chapter.
(iii) Commercial activity. Except as provided in paragraphs (y)(3) and (5) of this section and §17.32, you may not
sell or offer for sale, deliver, receive, carry, transport, or ship in interstate or foreign commerce in the course of a
commercial activity any beluga sturgeon or beluga sturgeon products.
(iv) It is unlawful for any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to commit, attempt to commit, solicit
to commit, or cause to be committed any acts described in paragraphs (y)(2)(ii) and (iii) of this section.
(3) What activities are exempted from threatened species permits by this rule? (i) Import, export or re-export, and
interstate and foreign commerce involving certain caviar and meat obtained from beluga sturgeon. You may
import, export or re-export, or conduct interstate or foreign commerce in beluga sturgeon caviar and meat without
a threatened species permit issued according to §17.32 only if the caviar and meat are derived from wild or
hatchery-origin beluga sturgeon that were caught and processed in the littoral states, or the caviar and meat are
exempt from permits because they originate from qualifying aquaculture facilities outside of littoral states
(see paragraph (y)(5) of this section). Also, the provisions in parts 13, 14, and 23 of this chapter and the following
requirements must be met:
(A) Beluga sturgeon caviar, including beluga sturgeon caviar in interstate commerce in the United States, must be
labeled in accordance with the CITES labeling requirements in 50 CFR part 23.
(B) The shipment must be accompanied by a valid CITES permit or certificate upon import, export, or re-export.
(C) For each shipment covered by this exemption, the country of origin and each country of re-export, and the
country of import involved in the trade of a particular shipment, must have designated both a CITES Management
Authority and Scientific Authority, and have not been identified by the CITES Conference of the Parties, the CITES
Standing Committee, or in a Notification from the CITES Secretariat as a country from which Parties should not
accept permits for beluga sturgeon or all CITES-listed species in general.
(D) The littoral state from which the beluga sturgeon caviar or meat originated has complied with all of the
requirements shown in paragraph (y)(4) of this section, and none of the exporting, importing, or re-exporting
countries involved in the commercial activity has been subject to an administrative trade restriction or suspension
as outlined in paragraphs (y)(6) and (7) of this section.
(E) Any relevant aquaculture facility located outside of a littoral state has complied with all of the requirements
shown in paragraph (y)(5) of this section.
(ii) Personal and household effects. You may import, export, or re-export, or conduct interstate or foreign
commerce in beluga sturgeon specimens that qualify as personal or household effects under 50 CFR part 23
without a threatened species permit otherwise required under §17.32. Trade suspensions or trade restrictions
administratively imposed by the Service under paragraphs (y)(6) or (y)(7) of this section may also apply to
personal and household effects of beluga sturgeon caviar.
(4) What must beluga sturgeon littoral states do to be authorized under the special rule to export to the United
States? The following requirements apply to the littoral states wishing to export beluga caviar or beluga meat to
the United States without the need for a threatened species permit issued under §17.32. These requirements
apply to all shipments of beluga caviar and beluga meat that originate in the littoral states, even if the shipments
are re-exported to the United States via an intermediary country. (See paragraph (y)(7) of this section for more
information on the Service's biennial reviews under the special rule.)
(i) Basin-wide beluga sturgeon management plans. By September 6, 2005, each littoral state wishing to export
beluga caviar or beluga meat to the United States without the need for a threatened species permit issued under
§17.32 must submit to the Service's Division of Scientific Authority a copy of a cooperative management plan for
its respective basin (i.e., Black Sea or Caspian Sea) that addresses Huso huso conservation. Each of these two
basin-wide management plans must be agreed to by all of the littoral states (not just exporting nations) in the Black
Sea or the Caspian Sea, as appropriate. Upon receipt, the Division of Scientific Authority will review these basinwide management plans within 90 days for completeness and clarity. If any elements of the management plans
are missing or unclear, we will ask the appropriate littoral states to provide additional information within 60 days of
the date we contact them. If the littoral states fail to respond or fail to submit basin-wide management plans by the
specified deadline, or if we are unable to confirm that all littoral states are signatories to those plans, we will
immediately suspend trade with all littoral states in the given basin (Caspian Sea or Black Sea) until we are
satisfied that such management plans exist. Submission of documents in English may help expedite the Service's
review. These cooperative management plans must contain the following elements:
(A) A clear statement of the recovery and management objectives of the plan, including a specification of the
stock(s) concerned, a definition of what constitutes over-fishing for that stock, and a rebuilding objective and
schedule for that stock;
(B) A statement of standard regulations and habitat improvement strategies (e.g., size limits, target harvest rates,
quotas, seasons, fishing gear, effort caps, fish passage improvement, water quality controls) to be utilized by the
nations involved;
(C) A complete statement of the specific regulatory, monitoring, and research requirements that each cooperating
nation must implement to be in compliance with the management plan;
(D) A complete description of how stock survey data and fisheries data are used to establish annual catch and
export quotas, including a full explanation of any models used and the assumptions underlying those models;
(E) Procedures under which the nations may implement and enforce alternative management measures that
achieve the same conservation benefits for beluga sturgeon as the standards mentioned in paragraph (y)(4)(i)(B)
of this section; and
(F) A complete schedule by which nations must take particular actions to be in compliance with the plan.
(ii) National regulations. By September 6, 2005, each littoral state wishing to export beluga caviar or beluga meat
to the United States under this special rule must provide the Service's Division of Scientific Authority with copies of
national legislation and regulations that implement the basin-wide cooperative management plan described in
paragraph (y)(4)(i) of this section, including regulations pertaining to the harvest, trade, aquaculture, restocking,
and processing of beluga sturgeon. Upon receipt, the Division of Scientific Authority will review these national laws
and regulations within 90 days for completeness and clarity. If any elements of the national legislation or national
fishery regulations are missing or unclear, we will ask the appropriate littoral states to provide additional
information within 60 days of the date we contact them. If the littoral states fail to respond or fail to submit copies of
national laws and regulations by the specified deadline, we will immediately suspend trade with the given littoral
states until we are satisfied that such laws and regulations are in effect. Submission of documents in English may
help expedite the Service's review.
(iii) CITES compliance. Trade in beluga sturgeon specimens must comply with CITES requirements in 50 CFR part
23. Except for specimens that qualify as personal or household effects under 50 CFR part 23, all beluga sturgeon
specimens, including those exempted from threatened species permits under this special rule, must be
accompanied by valid CITES documents upon import, export, or re-export. Beluga sturgeon caviar, including
beluga sturgeon caviar in interstate commerce in the United States, must be labeled in accordance with the CITES
labeling requirements in 50 CFR part 23.
(iv) Initial reporting period. Until September 6, 2005, no threatened species permits will be required for the import,
export, re-export, or interstate or foreign commerce of beluga sturgeon caviar and meat that originated in the
littoral states, in order to provide the littoral states time to submit the required documentation. After this 6-month
period, the exemption from threatened species permits will continue only while the Service reviews littoral state
compliance with paragraphs (y)(4)(i) through (iv) of this section. If this review demonstrates that the provisions of
this special rule are not met, the Service will announce and institute trade restrictions or suspensions in beluga
sturgeon caviar or meat with one or more littoral states as per paragraph (y)(7) of this section.
(v) Biennial reports. Littoral state governments wishing to export specimens of beluga sturgeon caviar or meat to
the United States under this special rule must provide to the Service's Division of Scientific Authority reports
containing the most recent information available on the status of the species, following the information guidelines
specified below. The Service must receive the first report no later than December 1, 2005, and every 2 years
thereafter on the anniversary of that date. Starting in December 2005, and thereafter on a biennial basis, the
Service will review the national reports within 90 days of receiving them and any other pertinent information on wild
beluga sturgeon conservation. If any elements of the biennial reports are missing or unclear, the Service will ask
the appropriate littoral states to provide additional information within 60 days of the date we contact them. If the
littoral states fail to respond or fail to submit biennial reports by the specified deadline, we will immediately
suspend trade with the given littoral states (see paragraph (y)(7) of this section for details on how such a
suspension would be instituted and announced). Submission of documents in English may help expedite the
Service's review. We propose to use these reviews to determine whether littoral state management programs are
leading to recovery of wild beluga sturgeon stocks. For each littoral state, the following information must be
provided in the biennial reports:
(A) A description of the specific fishery regulations that affect the harvest of Huso huso in the respective littoral
state, with any changes from the previous report highlighted;
(B) A description of any revisions to the cooperative management program mentioned in paragraph (y)(4)(i) of this
section, including any new models, assumptions, or equations used to set harvest and export quotas;
(C) New information obtained in the last 2 years on beluga sturgeon distribution, stock size, models used for
quota-setting, spawning activity, habitat use, hatchery programs and results, or other relevant subjects;
(D) A summary of law enforcement activities undertaken in the last 2 years, and a description of any changes in
programs to prevent poaching and smuggling, including indicators of their effectiveness;
(E) A summary of the revenues generated by the commercial exploitation of beluga sturgeon in the respective
littoral state, and a summary of any documented conservation benefits resulting from the commercial harvest
program in that country (e.g., revenues allocated to hatchery and restocking programs or research programs); and
(F) Export data for the previous two calendar years.
(5) Can aquacultured beluga sturgeon products be exempt from threatened species permits if the products
originate outside the littoral states? We will consider exemptions from threatened species permits for beluga caviar
and meat obtained from aquaculture facilities outside the littoral states. These exemptions will be for individual
facilities, and would allow aquacultured beluga caviar and meat originating from these facilities to be imported,
exported, re-exported, or traded in interstate and foreign commerce without threatened species permits issued
under Section 10 of the Act. Aquaculture facilities within the United States could also be exempt from prohibitions
against take for purposes of harvesting caviar or meat (i.e., killing of beluga sturgeon), or for conducting activities
involving research to enhance the survival or propagation of the species. Facilities outside the littoral states
wishing to obtain such exemptions must submit a written request to the Division of Management Authority at the
address provided at 50 CFR 2.1(b) and provide information that shows, at a minimum, all of the following:
(i) The facility in question is using best management practices to prevent the escape of beluga sturgeon and
disease pathogens into local ecosystems, as certified by the relevant regulatory agency. In the case of the United
States, the relevant regulatory authority will be the state agency with jurisdiction over aquaculture. In the case of
foreign aquaculture facilities outside the littoral states, the relevant regulatory agency will be the designated CITES
Management Authority with jurisdiction over sturgeon. Best management practices that affect the applicant's
facility must be part of the application and available for Service review.
(ii) The facility in question has entered into a formal agreement with one or more littoral states to study, protect, or
otherwise enhance the survival of wild beluga sturgeon. Copies of such agreements must be provided.
(iii) The facility in question does not rely on wild beluga sturgeon for broodstock. Proof of broodstock origin,
including relevant CITES permits that accompanied broodstock specimens upon import into the United States,
must be part of the application.
(iv) Exemptions granted under paragraph (y)(5) of this section shall not apply to trade (import, export, re-export, or
interstate and foreign commerce) in live beluga sturgeon, and may be revoked at any time if the Service
determines that any of the criteria shown in paragraphs (y)(5)(i) through (iii) of this section are not met by the
facility. Applicants will be required to submit biennial reports on their compliance with paragraphs (y)(5)(i) through
(iii) of this section, starting on the second anniversary of any programmatic exemption granted to the applicants.
These biennial reports must show that exempted facilities have actively cooperated with one or more littoral states
in a meaningful way to support beluga sturgeon conservation. Any beluga caviar originating from aquaculture
facilities outside the littoral states must comply with CITES caviar-labeling requirements, even in interstate
commerce within the United States. We will publish an information notice if the Service grants a programmatic
exemption to any aquaculture facility outside the littoral states, and announce such actions through our website
and posting notices at our wildlife ports of entry. We will follow the provisions of paragraph (y)(7) of this section to
announce restrictions or revocations of such programmatic exemptions, based on our review of facilities' biennial
reports.
(6) How will the Service inform the public of CITES restrictions on trade in beluga sturgeon? We will issue a public
bulletin that identifies a restriction or suspension of trade in specimens of beluga sturgeon and post it on our
websites (http://le.fws.gov and http://international.fws.gov) and at our staffed wildlife ports of entry if any criterion in
paragraphs (y)(6)(i) or (ii) of this section is met:
(i) The country is lacking a designated Management Authority or Scientific Authority for the issuance of valid
CITES documents or their equivalent for beluga sturgeon.
(ii) The country is identified in any action adopted by the CITES Conference of the Parties, the CITES Standing
Committee, or in a Notification to the Parties issued by the CITES Secretariat as a country from which Parties are
asked not to accept shipments of specimens of beluga sturgeon or all CITES-listed species.
Note to paragraph (y)(6): A listing of all countries that have not designated either a Management Authority or
Scientific Authority, or that have been identified as countries from which Parties should not accept permits, is
available by writing to the Division of Management Authority at the address provided at 50 CFR 2.1(b).
(7) How will the Service set trade restrictions or prohibitions under the special rule? The Service's Division of
Scientific Authority will conduct a biennial review of beluga sturgeon conservation based on information in the
cooperative basin-wide management plans, national regulations and laws, and biennial reports (submitted as per
paragraph (y)(4) of this section, and, for aquaculture facilities, as per paragraph (y)(5)(iv) of this section). We will
combine that review with a review of other relevant information (e.g., scientific literature, law enforcement data,
government-to-government consultations) to determine whether littoral state management programs and
aquaculture operations are effectively achieving conservation benefits for beluga sturgeon. Based on this
information, or the failure to obtain it, the Service may restrict or prohibit trade from a littoral state, a re-exporting
intermediary country, or an entire basin (i.e., the Caspian Sea or Black Sea) or a specific aquaculture facility
outside the littoral states if we determine that the conservation or management status of beluga sturgeon has been
adversely affected and the continued recovery of beluga sturgeon may be compromised. The decision to restrict or
prohibit trade in beluga sturgeon products on a national, basin, or region-wide scale will depend on the scope of
the problem observed, the magnitude of the threat to wild beluga sturgeon, and whether remedial action is
necessary at a national, basin, or region-wide scale.
(i) Trade restrictions or suspensions will result basin-wide, for specific littoral states, or for non-littoral state
aquaculture facilities under one or more of the following scenarios:
(A) Failure to submit any of the reports, legislation, and management plans described in paragraph (y)(4) of this
section, or failure to respond to requests for additional information;
(B) A change in regional cooperative management that threatens the recovery of wild beluga sturgeon;
(C) A change in littoral state laws or regulations that compromises beluga sturgeon recovery or survival in the wild;
(D) Adoption of scientifically unsound hatchery practices or restocking programs for beluga sturgeon;
(E) A decline in wild Huso huso populations, as documented in national reports outlined above or the scientific
literature, that goes unaddressed by regional or national management programs;
(F) Failure to address poaching or smuggling in beluga sturgeon, their parts, or products in the littoral states or reexporting countries, as documented in national reports described above or other law enforcement sources;
(G) Failure of the littoral states to address the loss of beluga sturgeon habitat quality or quantity;
(H) Failure of the littoral states or re-exporting countries to follow the caviar-labeling recommendations of the
CITES Parties (currently embodied in Resolution Conf. 12.7);
(I) Recommendations from the CITES Standing Committee to suspend trade in beluga sturgeon from one or more
countries; or
(J) An aquaculture facility outside the littoral states has been issued a programmatic exemption from threatened
species permits under paragraph (y)(5) of this section, but is not abiding by the provisions of paragraphs (y)(5)(i)
through (iii) of this section, or, based on the biennial reports required under paragraph (y)(5) of this section, has
not actively cooperated with one or more littoral states in a meaningful way to support beluga sturgeon
conservation.
(K) Any other natural or human-induced phenomenon that threatens the survival or recovery of beluga sturgeon.
(ii) We will publish an information notice in the Federal Register, as well as on our Web site and at our wildlife ports
of entry, if the Service's Division of Scientific Authority administratively suspends or restricts trade in beluga
sturgeon products after determining that wild beluga sturgeon stock status worsens or threats to the species
increase. This information notice will provide:
(A) The problem(s) identified in the biennial reports or other salient documents.
(B) The scope of the problem and the number of nations involved.
(C) The scope of the trade restriction or suspension we are imposing, including products covered, duration of the
restriction or suspension, and criteria for lifting it and reinstating any exemption to threatened species permits.
(D) How the public can provide input, make comments, and recommend remedial action to withdraw the trade
measures imposed.
(z) Gila trout (Oncorhynchus gilae). (1) Except as noted in paragraph (z)(2) of this section, all prohibitions of 50
CFR 17.31 and exemptions of 50 CFR 17.32 apply to the Gila trout.
(i) No person may possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export, by any means whatsoever, any
such species taken in violation of this section or in violation of applicable fish and conservation laws and
regulations promulgated by the States of New Mexico or Arizona.
(ii) It is unlawful for any person to attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed any
offense listed in paragraph (z)(1)(i) of this section.
(2) In the following instances you may take Gila trout in accordance with applicable State fish and wildlife
conservation laws and regulations to protect this species in the States of New Mexico or Arizona:
(i) Fishing activities authorized under New Mexico or Arizona laws and regulations; and
(ii) Educational purposes, scientific purposes, the enhancement of propagation or survival of the species,
zoological exhibition, and other conservation purposes consistent with the Endangered Species Act.
(3) The four relict populations of Gila trout (Main Diamond Creek, South Diamond Creek, Spruce Creek, and
Whiskey Creek) will not be opened to fishing.
(4) Any changes to State recreational fishing regulations will be made by the States in collaboration with the
Service.
(5) Any violation of State applicable fish and wildlife conservation laws or regulations with respect to the taking of
this species is also a violation of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended.
(aa) Shovelnose sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus). (1) Within the geographic areas set forth in paragraph
(aa)(2) of this section, except as expressly noted in this paragraph, take of any shovelnose sturgeon, shovelnosepallid sturgeon hybrids, or their roe associated with or related to a commercial fishing activity is prohibited. Capture
of shovelnose sturgeon or shovelnose-pallid sturgeon hybrids in commercial fishing gear is not prohibited if it is
accidental or incidental to otherwise legal commercial fishing activities, such as commercial fishing targeting
nonsturgeon species, provided the animal is released immediately upon discovery, with all roe intact, at the point
of capture.
(2) The shovelnose and shovelnose-pallid sturgeon hybrid populations covered by this special rule occur in
portions of Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota,
Nebraska, South Dakota, and Tennessee. The specific areas are:
(i) The portion of the Missouri River in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, and South
Dakota;
(ii) The portion of the Mississippi River downstream from the Melvin Price Locks and Dam (Lock and Dam 26) in
Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, and Tennessee;
(iii) The Platte River downstream of the Elkhorn River confluence in Nebraska;
(iv) The portion of the Kansas River downstream from the Bowersock Dam in Kansas;
(v) The Yellowstone River downstream of the Bighorn River confluence in North Dakota and Montana; and

violation of section 9 of the Act, except such take that results from broadcast spraying, which is the application of
herbicides evenly across the entire application area. Incidental take that results from mowing to control one or
more noxious weed species would also not be a violation of section 9 of the Act.
(v) Haying. For the purposes of this rule, native haylands do not include lands that had previously been plowed
and were then replanted to native or nonnative vegetation, but native haylands do include areas within
transportation (e.g., road, highway, railroad) rights-of-ways and corridors where native grasses are mowed for hay.
Haying of native haylands no earlier than July 16 (after July 15) would not be a violation of section 9 of the Act.
Mowing of replanted grasslands (grasslands replanted on formerly plowed or cultivated lands) or tame haylands or
grasslands (planted hayland or grassland comprising primarily nonnative grass species, such as smooth brome
(Bromus inermis inermis)) would also not be a violation of section 9 of the Act at any time of the year.
(vi) Mowing section line rights-of-way and recreational trails. Mowing of section line rights-of-way (typically
disturbed soil that has been contoured for a roadway) would not be a violation of section 9 of the Act. Mowing of
recreational trails (travelways established either through construction or use that are intended for and passable by
foot traffic, bicycles, in-line skates, wheelchairs, or cross-country skis) would not be a violation of section 9 of the
Act, regardless of whether the trails are associated with livestock ranching.
(vii) Livestock (cattle, bison, or horse) grazing on private, State, or tribal land.
(c) Western glacier stonefly (Zapada glacier) and meltwater lednian stonefly (Lednia tumana)—
(1) Prohibitions. The following prohibitions that apply to endangered wildlife also apply to western glacier stonefly
and meltwater lednian stonefly except as provided under paragraph (c)(2) of this section and §§17.4 and 17.5. It is
unlawful for any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to commit, to attempt to commit, to solicit
another to commit, or cause to be committed, any of the following acts in regard to these species:
(i) Import or export, as set forth at §17.21(b).
(ii) Take, as set forth at §17.21(c)(1).
(iii) Possession and other acts with unlawfully taken specimens, as set forth at §17.21(d)(1).
(iv) Interstate or foreign commerce in the course of commercial activity, as set forth at §17.21(e).
(v) Sale or offer for sale, as set forth at §17.21(f).
(2) Exceptions from prohibitions. In regard to this species, you may:
(i) Conduct activities as authorized by a permit under §17.32.
(ii) Take, as set forth at §17.21(c)(3) and (4) for endangered wildlife.
(iii) Possess and engage in other acts, as set forth at §17.21(d)(2) for endangered wildlife.
(iv) In addition to any other provisions of this part, any employee or agent of the Service, of the National Marine
Fisheries Service, or of a State conservation agency that is operating a conservation program pursuant to the
terms of a cooperative agreement with the Service in accordance with section 6(c) of the Act, who is designated by
that agency for such purposes, may, when acting in the course of official duties, take those threatened species of
wildlife that are covered by an approved cooperative agreement to carry out conservation programs.

§17.50 General.
(a) Whenever a species which is not Endangered or Threatened closely resembles an Endangered or Threatened
species, such species may be treated as either Endangered or Threatened if the director makes such
determination in accordance with section 4(e) of the Act and the criteria of paragraph (b) of this section. After the
Director has made such determination in accordance with the notification procedures specified in the Act, such
species shall appear in the list in §17.11 (Wildlife) or §17.12 (Plants) with the notation “(S/A)” (similarity of
appearance) in the “Status” column, following either a letter “E” or a letter “T” to indicate whether the species is
being treated as Endangered or Threatened.
(b) In determining whether to treat a species as Endangered or Threatened due to similarity of appearance, the
Director shall consider the criteria in section 4(e) of the Act, as indicated below:
(1) The degree of difficulty enforcement personnel would have in distinguishing the species, at the point in
question, from an Endangered or Threatened species (including those cases where the criteria for recognition of a
species are based on geographical boundaries);
(2) The additional threat posed to the Endangered or Threatened species by the loss of control occasioned
because of the similarity of appearance; and
(3) The probability that so designating a similar species will substantially facilitate enforcement and further the
purposes and policy of the Act.

§17.80 Definitions.
(a) The term experimental population means an introduced and/or designated population (including any off-spring
arising solely therefrom) that has been so designated in accordance with the procedures of this subpart but only
when, and at such times as the population is wholly separate geographically from nonexperimental populations of
the same species. Where part of an experimental population overlaps with natural populations of the same species
on a particular occasion, but is wholly separate at other times, specimens of the experimental population will not
be recognized as such while in the area of overlap. That is, experimental status will only be recognized outside the
areas of overlap. Thus, such a population shall be treated as experimental only when the times of geographic
separation are reasonably predictable; e.g., fixed migration patterns, natural or man-made barriers. A population is
not treated as experimental if total separation will occur solely as a result of random and unpredictable events.
(b) The term essential experimental population means an experimental population whose loss would be likely to
appreciably reduce the likelihood of the survival of the species in the wild. All other experimental populations are to
be classified as nonessential.

§17.81 Listing.
(a) The Secretary may designate as an experimental population a population of endangered or threatened species
that has been or will be released into suitable natural habitat outside the species' current natural range (but within
its probable historic range, absent a finding by the Director in the extreme case that the primary habitat of the
species has been unsuitably and irreversibly altered or destroyed), subject to the further conditions specified in this
section; provided, that all designations of experimental populations must proceed by regulation adopted in
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553 and the requirements of this subpart.
(b) Before authorizing the release as an experimental population of any population (including eggs, propagules, or
individuals) of an endangered or threatened species, and before authorizing any necessary transportation to
conduct the release, the Secretary must find by regulation that such release will further the conservation of the
species. In making such a finding the Secretary shall utilize the best scientific and commercial data available to
consider:
(1) Any possible adverse effects on extant populations of a species as a result of removal of individuals, eggs, or
propagules for introduction elsewhere;
(2) The likelihood that any such experimental population will become established and survive in the foreseeable
future;
(3) The relative effects that establishment of an experimental population will have on the recovery of the species;
and
(4) The extent to which the introduced population may be affected by existing or anticipated Federal or State
actions or private activities within or adjacent to the experimental population area.
The Secretary may issue a permit under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Act, if appropriate under the standards set out
in subsections 10(d) and (j) of the Act, to allow acts necessary for the establishment and maintenance of an
experimental population.
(c) Any regulation promulgated under paragraph (a) of this section shall provide:
(1) Appropriate means to identify the experimental population, including, but not limited to, its actual or proposed
location, actual or anticipated migration, number of specimens released or to be released, and other criteria
appropriate to identify the experimental population(s);
(2) A finding, based solely on the best scientific and commercial data available, and the supporting factual basis,
on whether the experimental population is, or is not, essential to the continued existence of the species in the wild;
(3) Management restrictions, protective measures, or other special management concerns of that population,
which may include but are not limited to, measures to isolate and/or contain the experimental population
designated in the regulation from natural populations; and
(4) A process for periodic review and evaluation of the success or failure of the release and the effect of the
release on the conservation and recovery of the species.
(d) The Fish and Wildlife Service shall consult with appropriate State fish and wildlife agencies, local governmental
entities, affected Federal agencies, and affected private landowners in developing and implementing experimental
population rules. When appropriate, a public meeting will be conducted with interested members of the public. Any
regulation promulgated pursuant to this section shall, to the maximum extent practicable, represent an agreement
between the Fish and Wildlife Service, the affected State and Federal agencies and persons holding any interest
in land which may be affected by the establishment of an experimental population.
(e) Any population of an endangered species or a threatened species determined by the Secretary to be an
experimental population in accordance with this subpart shall be identified by special rule in §§17.84-17.86 as
appropriate and separately listed in §17.11(h) (wildlife) or §17.12(h) (plants) as appropriate.
(f) The Secretary may designate critical habitat as defined in section (3)(5)(A) of the Act for an essential
experimental population as determined pursuant to paragraph (c)(2) of this section. Any designation of critical
habitat for an essential experimental population will be made in accordance with section 4 of the Act. No
designation of critical habitat will be made for nonessential populations. In those situations where a portion or all of
an essential experimental population overlaps with a natural population of the species during certain periods of the
year, no critical habitat shall be designated for the area of overlap unless implemented as a revision to critical
habitat of the natural population for reasons unrelated to the overlap itself.

§17.82 Prohibitions.
Any population determined by the Secretary to be an experimental population shall be treated as if it were listed as
a threatened species for purposes of establishing protective regulations under section 4(d) of the Act with respect
to such population. The Special rules (protective regulations) adopted for an experimental population under §17.81
will contain applicable prohibitions, as appropriate, and exceptions for that population.

§17.83 Interagency cooperation.
(a) Any experimental population designated for a listed species (1) determined pursuant to §17.81(c)(2) of this
subpart not to be essential to the survival of that species and (2) not occurring within the National Park System or
the National Wildlife Refuge System, shall be treated for purposes of section 7 (other than subsection (a)(1)
thereof) as a species proposed to be listed under the Act as a threatened species.
(b) Any experimental population designated for a listed species that either (1) has been determined pursuant to
§17.81(c)(2) of this subpart to be essential to the survival of that species, of (2) occurs within the National Park
System or the National Wildlife Refuge System as now or hereafter constituted, shall be treated for purposes of
section 7 of the Act as a threatened species. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any biological opinion prepared
pursuant to section 7(b) of the Act and any agency determination made pursuant to section 7(a) of the Act shall
consider any experimental and nonexperimental populations to constitute a single listed species for the purposes
of conducting the analyses under such sections.

§17.84 Special rules—vertebrates.
(a) [Reserved]
(b) Colorado squawfish (Ptychocheilus lucius) and woundfin (Plagopterus argentissimus). (1) The Colorado
squawfish and woundfin populations identified in paragraph (b)(6) of this section, are experimental, nonessential
populations.
(2) No person shall take the species, except in accordance with applicable State or Tribal fish and wildlife
conservation laws and regulations in the following instances:
(i) For educational purposes, scientific purposes, the enhancement of propagation or survival of the species,
zoological exhibition, and other conservation purposes consistent with the Act; or
(ii) Incidental to otherwise lawful activities, provided that the individual fish taken, if still alive, is immediately
returned to its habitat.
(3) Any violation of applicable State or Tribal fish and wildlife conservation laws or regulations with respect to the
taking of this species (other than incidental taking as described in paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of this section) will also be a
violation of the Endangered Species Act.
(4) No person shall possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export, by any means whatsoever, any
such species taken in violation of these regulations or in violation of applicable State or Tribal fish and wildlife laws
or regulations.
(5) It is unlawful for any person to attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed, any
offense defined in paragraphs (b) (2) through (4) of this section.
(6) All of the sites for reintroduction of Colorado squawfish and woundfin are totally isolated from existing
populations of these species. The nearest population of Colorado squawfish is above Lake Powell in the Green
and Colorado Rivers, an upstream distance of at least 800 miles including 6 mainstream dams, and 200 miles of
dry riverbed. Woundfin are similarly isolated (450 miles distant, 200 miles of dry streambed and 5 mainstream
dams). All reintroduction sites are within the probable historic range of these species and are as follows:
Colorado Squawfish
(i) Arizona: Gila County. Salt River from Roosevelt Dam upstream to U.S Highway 60 bridge.
(ii) Arizona: Gila and Yavapai Counties. Verde River from Horseshoe Dam upstream to Perkinsville.
The lower segments of large streams which flow into these two sections of river may, from time to time, be
inhabited by Colorado squawfish. Downstream movement of squawfish in these areas will be restricted by dams
and upstream movement is limited by lack of suitable habitat.
Woundfin
(i) Arizona: Gila and Yavapai Counties. Verde River from backwaters of Horseshoe Reservoir upstream to
Perkinsville.
(ii) Arizona: Graham and Greenlee Counties. Gila River from backwaters of San Carlos Reservoir upstream to
Arizona/New Mexico State line.
(iii) Arizona: Greenlee County. San Francisco River from its junction with the Gila River upstream to the
Arizona/New Mexico State line.
(iv) Arizona: Gila County. Tonto Creek, from Punkin Center upstream to Gisela.
(v) Arizona: Yavapai County. Hassayampa River, from Red Cliff upstream to Wagoner.
The movement of woundfin beyond these areas will be limited to the lower portion of larger tributaries where
suitable habitat exists. Downstream movement is limited by dams, reservoirs, and dry streambed. Upstream
movement from these areas is restricted due to the absence of habitat. Upstream areas are too cold and the
gradient is too steep to support populations of woundfin.
(7) The reintroduced populations will be checked annually to determine their condition. A seining survey will be
used to determine population expansion or contraction, reproduction success, and general health condition of the
fish.
(c) Red wolf (Canis rufus). (1) The red wolf populations identified in paragraphs (c)(9)(i) and (c)(9)(ii) of this section
are nonessential experimental populations.
(2) No person may take this species, except as provided in paragraphs (c)(3) through (5) and (10) of this section.
(3) Any person with a valid permit issued by the Service under §17.32 may take red wolves for educational
purposes, scientific purposes, the enhancement of propagation or survival of the species, zoological exhibition,
and other conservation purposes consistent with the Act and in accordance with applicable State fish and wildlife
conservation laws and regulations;
(4)(i) Any person may take red wolves found on private land in the areas defined in paragraphs (c)(9) (i) and (ii) of
this section, Provided that such taking is not intentional or willful, or is in defense of that person's own life or the
lives of others; and that such taking is reported within 24 hours to the refuge manager (for the red wolf population
defined in paragraph (c)(9)(i) of this section), the Park superintendent (for the red wolf population defined in
paragraph (c)(9)(ii) of this section), or the State wildlife enforcement officer for investigation.
(ii) Any person may take red wolves found on lands owned or managed by Federal, State, or local government
agencies in the areas defined in paragraphs (c)(9) (i) and (ii) of this section, Provided that such taking is incidental
to lawful activities, is unavoidable, unintentional, and not exhibiting a lack of reasonable due care, or is in defense
of that person's own life or the lives of others, and that such taking is reported within 24 hours to the refuge
manager (for the red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(i) of this section), the Park superintendent (for the
red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(ii) of this section), or the State wildlife enforcement officer for
investigation.
(iii) Any private landowner, or any other individual having his or her permission, may take red wolves found on his
or her property in the areas defined in paragraphs (c)(9) (i) and (ii) of this section when the wolves are in the act of
killing livestock or pets, Provided that freshly wounded or killed livestock or pets are evident and that all such
taking shall be reported within 24 hours to the refuge manager (for the red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)
(9)(i) of this section), the Park superintendent (for the red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(ii) of this
section), or the State wildlife enforcement officer for investigation.
(iv) Any private landowner, or any other individual having his or her permission, may harass red wolves found on
his or her property in the areas defined in paragraphs (c)(9) (i) and (ii) of this section, Provided that all such
harassment is by methods that are not lethal or physically injurious to the red wolf and is reported within 24 hours
to the refuge manager (for the red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(i) of this section), the Park
superintendent (for the red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(ii) of this section), or the State wildlife
enforcement officer, as noted in paragraph (c)(6) of this section for investigation.
(v) Any private landowner may take red wolves found on his or her property in the areas defined in paragraphs (c)
(9) (i) and (ii) of this section after efforts by project personnel to capture such animals have been
abandoned, Provided that the Service project leader or biologist has approved such actions in writing and all such
taking shall be reported within 24 hours to the Service project leader or biologist, the refuge manager (for the red
wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(i) of this section), the Park superintendent (for the red wolf population
defined in paragraph (c)(9)(ii) of this section), or the State wildlife enforcement officer for investigation.
(vi) The provisions of paragraphs (4) (i) through (v) of this section apply to red wolves found in areas outside the
areas defined in paragraphs (c)(9) (i) and (ii) of this section, with the exception that reporting of taking or
harassment to the refuge manager, Park superintendent, or State wildlife enforcement officer, while encouraged, is
not required.
(5) Any employee or agent of the Service or State conservation agency who is designated for such purposes,
when acting in the course of official duties, may take a red wolf if such action is necessary to:
(i) Aid a sick, injured, or orphaned specimen;
(ii) Dispose of a dead specimen, or salvage a dead specimen which may be useful for scientific study;
(iii) Take an animal that constitutes a demonstrable but non-immediate threat to human safety or that is
responsible for depredations to lawfully present domestic animals or other personal property, if it has not been
possible to otherwise eliminate such depredation or loss of personal property, Provided That such taking must be
done in a humane manner, and may involve killing or injuring the animal only if it has not been possible to
eliminate such threat by live capturing and releasing the specimen unharmed on the refuge or Park;
(iv) Move an animal for genetic purposes.
(6) Any taking pursuant to paragraphs (c) (3) through (5) of this section must be immediately reported to either the
Refuge Manager, Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, Manteo, North Carolina, telephone 919/473-1131, or the
Superintendent, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg, Tennessee, telephone 615/436-1294. Either of
these persons will determine disposition of any live or dead specimens.
(7) No person shall possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means whatsoever, any
such species taken in violation of these regulations or in violation of applicable State fish and wildlife laws or
regulations or the Endangered Species Act.
(8) It is unlawful for any person to attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed, any
offense defined in paragraphs (c) (2) through (7) of this section.
(9)(i) The Alligator River reintroduction site is within the historic range of the species in North Carolina, in Dare,
Hyde, Tyrrell, and Washington Counties; because of its proximity and potential conservation value, Beaufort
County is also included in the experimental population designation.
(ii) The red wolf also historically occurred on lands that now comprise the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The Park encompasses properties within Haywood and Swain Counties in North Carolina, and Blount, Cocke, and
Sevier Counties in Tennessee. Graham, Jackson, and Madison Counties in North Carolina, and Monroe County in
Tennessee, are also included in the experimental designation because of the close proximity of these counties to
the Park boundary.
(iii) Except for the three island propagation projects and these small reintroduced populations, the red wolf is
extirpated from the wild. Therefore, there are no other extant populations with which the refuge or Park
experimental populations could come into contact.
(10) The reintroduced populations will be monitored closely for the duration of the project, generally using radio
telemetry as appropriate. All animals released or captured will be vaccinated against diseases prevalent in canids
prior to release. Any animal that is determined to be in need of special care or that moves onto lands where the
landowner requests their removal will be recaptured, if possible, by Service and/or Park Service and/or designated
State wildlife agency personnel and will be given appropriate care. Such animals will be released back into the wild
as soon as possible, unless physical or behavioral problems make it necessary to return the animals to a captivebreeding facility.
(11) The status of the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge project will be reevaluated by October 1, 1992, to
determine future management status and needs. This review will take into account the reproductive success of the
mated pairs, movement patterns of individual animals, food habits, and overall health of the population. The
duration of the first phase of the Park project is estimated to be 10 to 12 months. After that period, an assessment
of the reintroduction potential of the Park for red wolves will be made. If a second phase of reintroduction is
attempted, the duration of that phase will be better defined during the assessment. However, it is presently thought
that a second phase would last for 3 years, after which time the red wolf would be treated as a resident species
within the Park. Throughout these periods, the experimental and nonessential designation of the animals will
remain in effect.
(d) Topeka shiner (Notropis topeka).
(1) Where is the Topeka shiner designated as a nonessential experimental population (NEP)? (i) The NEP area for
the Topeka shiner is within the species' historical range and includes those waters within the Missouri counties of
Adair, Gentry, Harrison, Putnam, Sullivan, and Worth identified below in paragraph (d)(5) of this section.
(ii) The Topeka shiner is not known to currently exist in Adair, Gentry, Putnam, Sullivan, and Worth Counties in
Missouri, or in those portions of Harrison County, Missouri, where the NEP is being designated. Based on its
habitat requirements and potential predation by other fish predators, we do not expect this species to become
established outside this NEP area, although there is a remote chance it may.
(iii) We will not change the NEP designations to “essential experimental,” “threatened,” or “endangered” within the
NEP area without a public rulemaking. Additionally, we will not designate critical habitat for this NEP, as provided
by 16 U.S.C. 1539(j)(2)(C)(ii).
(2) What activities are not allowed in the NEP area? (i) Except as expressly allowed in paragraph (d)(3) of this
section, all the prohibitions of §17.21 apply to the Topeka shiner NEP.
(ii) Any manner of take not described under paragraph (d)(3) of this section is prohibited in the NEP area.
(iii) You may not possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means, Topeka shiners, or
parts thereof, that are taken or possessed in violation of paragraph (d)(3) of this section or in violation of the
applicable State fish and wildlife laws or regulations or the Act.
(iv) You may not attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed any offense defined in
paragraph (d)(2)(iii) of this section.
(3) What take is allowed in the NEP area? Take of this species that is incidental to an otherwise legal activity, such
as agriculture, forestry and wildlife management, land development, recreation, and other activities, is allowed
provided that the activity is not in violation of any applicable State fish and wildlife laws or regulations.
(4) How will the effectiveness of these reintroductions be monitored? We will monitor reintroduction efforts to
assess changes in distribution within each watershed by sampling ponds and streams where releases occur for 10
years after reintroduction. Streams will be sampled annually, and ponds will be sampled annually for the first 3
years and biennially thereafter.

(e) Yellowfin madtom (Noturus flavipinnis). (1) Where is the yellowfin madtom designated as a nonessential
experimental population (NEP)? We have designated three populations of this species as NEPs: the North Fork
Holston River Watershed NEP, the Tellico River NEP, and the French Broad River and Holston River NEP.
(i) The North Fork Holston River Watershed NEP area is within the species' historic range and is defined as
follows: The North Fork Holston River watershed, Washington, Smyth, and Scott Counties, Virginia; South Fork
Holston River watershed upstream to Ft. Patrick Henry Dam, Sullivan County, Tennessee; and the Holston River
from the confluence of the North and South Forks downstream to the John Sevier Detention Lake Dam, Hawkins
County, Tennessee. This site is totally isolated from existing populations of this species by large Tennessee River
tributaries and reservoirs. As the species is not known to inhabit reservoirs and because individuals of the species
are not likely to move 100 river miles through these large reservoirs, the possibility that this population could come
in contact with extant wild populations is unlikely.
(ii) The Tellico River NEP area is within the species' historic range and is defined as follows: The Tellico River,
between the backwaters of the Tellico Reservoir (approximately Tellico River mile 19 (30.4 kilometers) and Tellico
River mile 33 (52.8 kilometers), near the Tellico Ranger Station, Monroe County, Tennessee. This species is not
currently known to exist in the Tellico River or its tributaries. Based on its habitat requirements, we do not expect
this species to become established outside this NEP area. However, if individuals of this population move
upstream or downstream or into tributaries outside the designated NEP area, we would presume that they came
from the reintroduced population. We would then amend this regulation to enlarge the boundaries of the NEP area
to include the entire range of the expanded population.
(iii) The French Broad River and Holston River NEP area is within the species' historic range and is defined as
follows: the French Broad River, Knox and Sevier Counties, Tennessee, from the base of Douglas Dam (river mile
(RM) 32.3 (51.7 km)) downstream to the confluence with the Holston River; then up the Holston River, Knox,
Grainger, and Jefferson Counties, Tennessee, to the base of Cherokee Dam (RM 52.3 (83.7 km)); and the lower 5
RM (8 km) of all tributaries that enter these river reaches. This species is not known to exist in any of the
tributaries to the free-flowing reaches of the French Broad River below Douglas Dam, Knox and Sevier Counties,
Tennessee, or of the Holston River below the Cherokee Dam, Knox, Grainger, and Jefferson Counties, Tennessee.
Based on its habitat requirements, we do not expect this species to become established outside this NEP area.
However, if individuals of this population move upstream or downstream or into tributaries outside the designated
NEP area, we would presume that they came from the reintroduced population. We would then amend this
regulation to enlarge the boundaries of the NEP area to include the entire range of the expanded population.
(iv) We do not intend to change the NEP designations to “essential experimental,” “threatened,” or “endangered”
within the NEP areas. Additionally, we will not designate critical habitat for these NEPs, as provided by 16 U.S.C.
1539(j)(2)(C)(ii).
(2) What activities are not allowed in the NEP areas? (i) Except as expressly allowed in paragraph (e)(3) of this
section, all the prohibitions of §17.31(a) and (b) apply to the yellowfin madtom.
(ii) Any manner of take not described under paragraph (e)(3) of this section is prohibited in the NEP area. We may
refer unauthorized take of this species to the appropriate authorities for prosecution.
(iii) You may not possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means whatsoever any of the
identified fishes, or parts thereof, that are taken or possessed in violation of paragraph (e)(2) of this section or in
violation of the applicable State fish and wildlife laws or regulations or the Act.
(iv) You may not attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed any offense defined in
paragraph (e)(2) of this section.
(3) What take is allowed in the NEP area? Take of this species that is accidental and incidental to an otherwise
legal activity, such as recreation (e.g., fishing, boating, wading, trapping, or swimming), forestry, agriculture, and
other activities that are in accordance with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations, is allowed.
(4) How will the effectiveness of these reintroductions be monitored? We will prepare periodic progress reports and
fully evaluate these reintroduction efforts after 5 and 10 years to determine whether to continue or terminate the
reintroduction efforts.
(5) Note: Map of the NEP area for the yellowfin madtom in the Tellico River, Tennessee, appears immediately
following paragraph (m)(5) of this section.
(6) Note: Map of the NEP area for the yellowfin madtom in the French Broad River and Holston River, Tennessee,
appears immediately following paragraph (m)(7) of this section.
(f) Guam rail (Rallus owstoni). (1) The Guam rail population identified in paragraph (f)(7) of this section is a
nonessential experimental population.
(2) No person shall take this species, except:
(i) In accordance with a valid permit issued by the Service under §17.32 for educational purposes, scientific
purposes, the enhancement of propagation or survival of the species, zoological exhibition, and other conservation
purposes consistent with the Act; or
(ii) As authorized by the laws and regulations of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, after the
Service has made the determination that the experimental population has become well established and occupies
all suitable habitat island-wide.
(3) Any employee of the Service, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Division of Fish and Wildlife,
or the Guam Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources who is designated for such purposes, may, when acting in
the course of official duties, take a Guam rail without a permit if such action is necessary to:
(i) Aid a sick, injured, or orphaned specimen;
(ii) Dispose of a dead specimen;
(iii) Salvage a dead specimen that may be useful for scientific study; or
(iv) Take an animal that is responsible for depredations to personal property if it has not been possible to otherwise
eliminate such depredations and/or loss of personal property, provided that such taking must be done in a humane
manner and may involve injuring or killing the bird only if it has not been possible to eliminate depredations by live
capturing and releasing the specimen unharmed in other suitable habitats.
(4) Any violation of applicable commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands fish and wildlife conservation laws
or regulations with respect to the taking of this species (other than taking as described in paragraph (f)(2)(ii) of this
section) will also be a violation of the Endangered Species Act.
(5) No person shall possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means whatsoever, any
such species taken in violation of these regulations or in violation of applicable Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands fish and wildlife laws or regulations or the Endangered Species Act.
(6) It is unlawful for any person to attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed, any
offense defined in paragraphs (f) (2) through (5) of this section.
(7) The sites for introduction of Guam rails on Rota, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, are on an
island separated from Guam by 50 kilometers of ocean. The last known observation of an individual of this species
occurred near the northern tip of Guam, which is closest to the island of Rota. No intermingling of these
populations will occur since this species has been extirpated in the wild on Guam. The Rota release sites are of
necessity outside the historic range of the Guam rail, as described in this regulation, because its primary range
has been unsuitably and irreversibly destroyed by the brown tree snake.
(8) The nonessential experimental population on Rota will be checked periodically by staff of the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands Division of Fish and Wildlife and cooperating staff from the University of
Tennessee to determine dispersal patterns, mortality, and reproductive success. The overall success of the
releases and general health of the population will also be assessed.
(g) Black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes). (1) The black-footed ferret populations identified in paragraphs (g)(9)(i)
through (viii) of this section are nonessential experimental populations. We will manage each of these populations,
and each reintroduction site within the Wyoming Experimental Population Area, in accordance with their respective
management plans.
(2) No person may take this species in the wild in the experimental population area, except as provided in
paragraphs (g)(3), (4), (5), and (10) of this section.
(3) Any person with a valid permit issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 17.32 may
take black-footed ferrets in the wild in the experimental population areas.
(4) Any employee or agent of the Service or appropriate State wildlife agency designated for such purposes, acting
in the course of official duties, may take a black-footed ferret in the wild in the experimental population areas if
such action is necessary:
(i) For scientific purposes;
(ii) To relocate a ferret to avoid conflict with human activities;
(iii) To relocate a ferret that has moved outside the Little Snake Black-footed Ferret Management Area/Coyote
Basin Primary Management Zone or the Rosebud Sioux Reservation Experimental Population Area when that
relocation is necessary to protect the ferret or is requested by an affected landowner or land manager, or whose
removal is requested pursuant to paragraph (g)(12) of this section.
(iv) To relocate ferrets within the experimental population area to improve ferret survival and recovery prospects;
(v) To relocate ferrets from the experimental population areas into other ferret reintroduction areas or captivity;
(vi) To aid a sick, injured, or orphaned animal; or
(vii) To salvage a dead specimen for scientific purposes.
(5) A person may take a ferret in the wild within the experimental population areas, provided such take is incidental
to and not the purpose of, the carrying out of an otherwise lawful activity and if such ferret injury or mortality was
unavoidable, unintentional, and did not result from negligent conduct. Such conduct is not considered intentional or
“knowing take” for the purposes of this regulation, and the Service will not take legal action for such conduct.
However, we will refer cases of knowing take to the appropriate authorities for prosecution.
(6) You must report any taking pursuant to paragraphs (g)(3), (4)(vi) and (vii), and (5) of this section to the
appropriate Service Field Supervisor, who will determine the disposition of any live or dead specimens.
(i) Report such taking in Wyoming, including the Shirley Basin/Medicine Bow experimental population area, to the
Field Supervisor, Ecological Services, Fish and Wildlife Service, Cheyenne, Wyoming (telephone: 307/772-2374).
(ii) Report such taking in the Conata Basin/Badlands experimental population area to the Field Supervisor,
Ecological Services, Fish and Wildlife Service, Pierre, South Dakota (telephone: 605/224-8693).
(iii) Report such taking in the northcentral Montana experimental population area to the Field Supervisor,
Ecological Services, Fish and Wildlife Service, Helena, Montana (telephone: 406/449-5225).
(iv) Report such taking in the Aubrey Valley experimental population area to the Field Supervisor, Ecological
Services, Fish and Wildlife Service, Phoenix, Arizona (telephone: 602/640-2720).
(v) Report such taking in the northwestern Colorado/northeastern Utah experimental population area to the
appropriate Field Supervisor, Ecological Services, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Lakewood, Colorado (telephone:
303/275-2370), or Salt Lake City, Utah (telephone: 801/524-5001).
(vi) Report such taking in the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Experimental Population Area to the Field Supervisor,
Ecological Services, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Pierre, South Dakota (telephone 605/224-8693).
(vii) Report such taking in the Rosebud Sioux Reservation Experimental Population Area to the Field Supervisor,
Ecological Services, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Pierre, South Dakota (telephone 605/224-8693).
(7) No person shall possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means whatsoever, any
ferret or part thereof from the experimental populations taken in violation of these regulations or in violation of
applicable State fish and wildlife laws or regulations or the Endangered Species Act.
(8) It is unlawful for any person to attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to commit, any offense
defined in paragraphs (g)(2) and (7) of this section.
(9) The sites for reintroduction of black-footed ferrets are within the historical range of the species.
(i) We consider the Shirley Basin/Medicine Bow Management Area on the attached map of Wyoming to be the
core recovery area for this species in southeastern Wyoming. The boundaries of the nonessential experimental
population are that part of Wyoming south and east of the North Platte River within Natrona, Carbon, and Albany
Counties (see Wyoming map). All marked ferrets found in the wild within these boundaries prior to the first
breeding season following the first year of releases constituted the nonessential experimental population during
this period. All ferrets found in the wild within these boundaries during and after the first breeding season following
the first year of releases comprise the nonessential experimental population, thereafter.
(ii) We consider the Conata Basin/Badlands Reintroduction Area on the attached map for South Dakota to be the
core recovery area for this species in southwestern South Dakota. The boundaries of the nonessential
experimental population area occur north of State Highway 44 and BIA Highway 2 east of the Cheyenne River and
BIA Highway 41, south of I-90, and west of State Highway 73 within Pennington, Shannon, and Jackson Counties,
South Dakota. Any black-footed ferret found in the wild within these boundaries is part of the nonessential
experimental population after the first breeding season following the first year of releases of black-footed ferret in
the Reintroduction Area. A black-footed ferret occurring outside the experimental population area in South Dakota
is considered as endangered but may be captured for genetic testing. We will dispose of the captured animal in
one of the following ways if necessary:
(A) We may return an animal genetically related to the experimental population to the Reintroduction Area or to a
captive facility.
(B) Under an existing contingency plan, we will use up to nine black-footed ferrets genetically unrelated to the
experimental population in the captive-breeding program. If a landowner outside the experimental population area
wishes to retain black-footed ferrets on his property, we will develop a conservation agreement or easement with
the landowner.
(iii) We consider the Northcentral Montana Reintroduction Area shown on the attached map for Montana to be the
core recovery area for this species in northcentral Montana. The boundaries of the nonessential experimental
population are those parts of Phillips and Blaine Counties, Montana, described as the area bounded on the north
beginning at the northwest corner of the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation on the Milk River; east following the Milk
River to the east Phillips County line; then south along said line to the Missouri River; then west along the Missouri
River to the west boundary of Phillips County; then north along said county line to the west boundary of Fort
Belknap Indian Reservation; then further north along said boundary to the point of origin at the Milk River. All
marked ferrets found in the wild within these boundaries prior to the first breeding season following the first year of
releases constituted the nonessential experimental population during this period. All ferrets found in the wild within
these boundaries during and after the first breeding season following the first year of releases comprise the
nonessential experimental population thereafter. A black-footed ferret occurring outside the experimental area in
Montana is initially considered as endangered but may be captured for genetic testing. We will dispose of the
captured animal in one of the following ways if necessary:
(A) We may return an animal genetically related to the experimental population to the reintroduction area or to a
captive facility.
(B) Under an existing contingency plan, we will use up to nine black-footed ferrets genetically unrelated to the
experimental population in the captive-breeding program. If a landowner outside the experimental population area
wishes to retain black-footed ferrets on his property, we will develop a conservation agreement or easement with
the landowner.
(iv) We consider the Aubrey Valley Experimental Population Area shown on the attached map for Arizona to be the
core recovery area for this species in northwestern Arizona. The boundary of the nonessential experimental
population area is those parts of Coconino, Mohave, and Yavapai Counties that include the Aubrey Valley west of
the Aubrey Cliffs, starting from Chino Point, north along the crest of the Aubrey cliffs to the Supai Road (State
Route 18), southwest along the Supai Road to Township 26 North, then west to Range 11 West, then south to the
Hualapai Indian Reservation boundary, then east and northeast along the Hualapai Indian Reservation boundary
to U.S. Highway Route 66; then southeast along Route 66 for approximately 6 km (2.3 miles) to a point
intercepting the east boundary of section 27, Township 25 North, Range 9 West; then south along a line to where
the Atchison-Topeka Railroad enters Yampa Divide Canyon; then southeast along the Atchison-Topeka Railroad
alignment to the intersection of the Range 9 West/Range 8 West boundary; then south to the SE corner of section
12, Township 24 North, Range 9 West; then southeast to SE corner section 20, Township 24 West, Range 8 West;
then south to the SE corner section 29, Township 24 North, Range 8 West; then southeast to the half section point
on the east boundary line of section 33, Township 24 North, Range 8 West; then northeast to the SE corner of
section 27, Township 24 North, Range 8 West; then southeast to the SE corner Section 35, Township 24 North,
Range 8 West; then southeast to the half section point on the east boundary line of section 12, Township 23 North,
Range 8 West; then southeast to the SE corner of section 8, Township 23 North, Range 7 West; then southeast to
the SE corner of section 16, Township 23 North, Range 7 West; then east to the half section point of the north
boundary line of section 14, Township 23 North, Range 7 West; then south to the half section point on the north
boundary line of section 26, Township 23 North, Range 7 West; then east along section line to route 66; then
southeast along route 66 to the point of origin at Chino Point. Any black-footed ferrets found in the wild within
these boundaries is part of the nonessential experimental population after the first breeding season following the
first year of releases of ferrets into the reintroduction area. A black-footed ferret occurring outside the experimental
area in Arizona is initially considered as endangered but may be captured for genetic testing. We will dispose of
the captured animal in one of the following ways if necessary:
(A) We may return an animal genetically related to the experimental population to the reintroduction area or to a
captive facility. If a landowner outside the experimental population area wishes to retain black-footed ferrets on his
property, we will develop a conservation agreement or easement with the landowner.
(B) Under an existing contingency plan, we will use up to nine black-footed ferrets genetically unrelated to the
experimental population in the captive-breeding program. If a landowner outside the experimental population area
wishes to retain black-footed ferrets on his property, we will develop a conservation agreement or easement with
the landowner.
(v) We consider the Little Snake Black-footed Ferret Management Area in Colorado and the Coyote Basin Blackfooted Ferret Primary Management Zone in Utah as the initial recovery sites for this species within the
Northwestern Colorado/Northeastern Utah Experimental Population Area (see Colorado/Utah map). The
boundaries of the nonessential Experimental Population Area will be all of Moffat and Rio Blanco Counties in
Colorado west of Colorado State Highway 13; all of Uintah and Duchesne Counties in Utah; and in Sweetwater
County, Wyoming, the line between Range 96 and 97 West (eastern edge), Range 102 and 103 West (western
edge), and Township 14 and 15 North (northern edge). All marked ferrets found in the wild within these boundaries
prior to the first breeding season following the first year of release will constitute the nonessential experimental
population during this period. All ferrets found in the wild within these boundaries during and after the first breeding
season following the first year of releases of ferrets into the reintroduction area will comprise the nonessential
experimental population thereafter. A black-footed ferret occurring outside the Experimental Population Area is
initially considered as endangered but may be captured for genetic testing. We will dispose of the captured animal
in one of the following ways if necessary:
(A) We may return an animal genetically related to the experimental population to the Reintroduction Area or to a
captive facility.
(B) Under an existing contingency plan, we will use up to nine black-footed ferrets genetically unrelated to the
experimental population in the captive-breeding program. If a landowner outside the experimental population area
wishes to retain black-footed ferrets on his property, we will develop a conservation agreement or easement with
the landowner.
(vi) The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Reintroduction Area is shown on the map of north-central South Dakota at
the end of paragraph (g) of this section. The boundaries of the nonessential experimental population area are the
exterior boundaries of the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation which includes all of Dewey and Ziebach Counties,
South Dakota. Any black-footed ferret found in the wild within these counties will be considered part of the
nonessential experimental population after the first breeding season following the first year of black-footed ferret
release. A black-footed ferret occurring outside the Experimental Population Area in north-central South Dakota
would initially be considered as endangered but may be captured for genetic testing. When a ferret is found
outside the Experimental Population Area, the following may occur:
(A) If an animal is genetically determined to have originated from the experimental population, we may return it to
the reintroduction area or to a captive-breeding facility.
(B) If an animal is determined to be genetically unrelated to the experimental population, we will place it in captivity
under an existing contingency plan. Up to nine black-footed ferrets may be taken for use in the captive-breeding
program.
(vii) The Rosebud Sioux Reservation Experimental Population Area is shown on the map of south-central South
Dakota at the end of paragraph (g) of this section. The boundaries of the nonessential experimental population
area include all of Gregory, Mellette, Todd, and Tripp Counties in South Dakota. Any black-footed ferret found
within these four counties will be considered part of the nonessential experimental population after the first
breeding season following the first year of black-footed ferret release. A black-footed ferret occurring outside the
nonessential experimental population area in south-central South Dakota will initially be considered as endangered
but may be captured for genetic testing. If necessary, disposition of the captured animal may occur in the following
ways:
(A) If an animal is genetically determined to have originated from the experimental population, we may return it to
the reintroduction area or to a captive-breeding facility.
(B) If an animal is determined to be genetically unrelated to the experimental population, we will place it in captivity
under an existing contingency plan. Up to nine black-footed ferrets may be taken for use in the captive-breeding
program.
(viii) The Wyoming Experimental Population Area encompasses most of the State of Wyoming. The boundaries of
the nonessential experimental population include all areas in the State of Wyoming outside of the Shirley
Basin/Medicine Bow Management Area (see paragraph (g)(9)(i) of this section) and the small portion of Wyoming
included as part of the Northwestern Colorado/Northeastern Utah Experimental Population Area (see paragraph
(g)(9)(v) of this section). Collectively, however, these three 10(j) areas cover the entire State of Wyoming. Any
black-footed ferret found within the Wyoming NEP Experimental Population Area will be considered part of a
nonessential experimental population. A black-footed ferret that disperses beyond the boundaries of the
nonessential experimental population area takes on the status of that area (endangered, unless within another
nonessential experimental population area). Such animals may be captured for genetic testing and relocation. If
necessary, disposition of the captured animal may occur in the following ways:
(A) If an animal is genetically determined to have originated from the experimental population, we may return it to
the reintroduction area or to a captive-breeding facility.
(B) If an animal is determined to be genetically unrelated to the experimental population, we will place it in captivity
under an existing contingency plan.
(10) Monitoring the reintroduced populations will occur continually during the life of the project, including the use of
radio telemetry and other remote sensing devices, as appropriate. Vaccination of all released animals will occur
prior to release, as appropriate, to prevent diseases prevalent in mustelids. Any animal that is sick, injured, or
otherwise in need of special care may be captured by authorized personnel of the Service or appropriate State
wildlife agency or their agents and given appropriate care. Such an animal may be released back to its appropriate
reintroduction area or another authorized site as soon as possible, unless physical or behavioral problems make it
necessary to return the animal to captivity.
(11) We will reevaluate the status of the experimental population within the first five years after the first year of
release of black-footed ferrets to determine future management needs. This review will take into account the
reproductive success and movement patterns of the individuals released into the area, as well as the overall health
of the experimental population and the prairie dog ecosystem in the above described areas. We will propose
reclassification of the black-footed ferret when we meet the appropriate recovery objectives for the species.
(12) We will not include a reevaluation of the “nonessential experimental” designation for these populations during
our review of the initial five year reintroduction program. We do not foresee any likely situation justifying alteration
of the nonessential experimental status of these populations. Should any such alteration prove necessary and it
results in a substantial modification to black-footed ferret management on non-Federal lands, any private
landowner who consented to the introduction of black-footed ferrets on their lands may rescind their consent, and
at their request, we will relocate the ferrets pursuant to paragraph (g)(4)(iii) of this section.

(h) Whooping crane (Grus americana). (1) The whooping crane populations identified in paragraphs (h)(9)(i)
through (iv) of this section are nonessential experimental populations (NEPs) as defined in §17.80.
(i) The only natural extant population of whooping cranes, known as the Aransas/Wood Buffalo National Park
population, occurs well west of the Mississippi River. This population nests in the Northwest Territories and
adjacent areas of Alberta, Canada, primarily within the boundaries of the Wood Buffalo National Park, and winters
along the Central Texas Gulf of Mexico coast at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge.
(ii) No natural populations of whooping cranes are likely to come into contact with the NEPs set forth in paragraphs
(h)(9)(i) through (iv) of this section. Whooping cranes adhere to ancestral breeding grounds, leaving little possibility
that individuals from the extant Aransas/Wood Buffalo National Park population will stray into the NEPs. Studies of
whooping cranes have shown that migration is a learned rather than an innate behavior.
(2) No person may take this species in the wild in the experimental population areas, except when such take is
accidental and incidental to an otherwise lawful activity, or as provided in paragraphs (h)(3) and (4) of this section.
Examples of otherwise lawful activities include, but are not limited to, oil and gas exploration and extraction,
aquacultural practices, agricultural practices, pesticide application, water management, construction, recreation,
trapping, or hunting, when such activities are in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
(3) Any person with a valid permit issued by the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under §17.32 may take
whooping cranes in the wild in the experimental population areas for educational purposes, scientific purposes, the
enhancement of propagation or survival of the species, and other conservation purposes consistent with the ESA
and in accordance with applicable State fish and wildlife conservation laws and regulations.
(4) Any employee or agent of the Service or State wildlife agency who is designated for such purposes, when
acting in the course of official duties, may take a whooping crane in the wild in the experimental population areas if
such action is necessary to:
(i) Relocate a whooping crane to avoid conflict with human activities;
(ii) Relocate a whooping crane that has moved outside any of the areas identified in paragraphs (h)(9)(i) through
(iv) of this section, when removal is necessary or requested and is authorized by a valid permit under §17.22;
(iii) Relocate whooping cranes within the experimental population areas to improve survival and recovery
prospects;
(iv) Relocate whooping cranes from the experimental population areas into captivity;
(v) Aid a sick, injured, or orphaned whooping crane; or
(vi) Dispose of a dead specimen or salvage a dead specimen that may be useful for scientific study.
(5) Any taking pursuant to paragraphs (h)(3) and (4) of this section must be immediately reported to the National
Whooping Crane Coordinator, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, P.O. Box 100, Austwell, TX 77950 (Phone: 361-2863559), who, in conjunction with his counterpart in the Canadian Wildlife Service, will determine the disposition of
any live or dead specimens.
(6) No person shall possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means whatsoever, any
such species from the experimental populations taken in violation of these regulations or in violation of applicable
State fish and wildlife laws or regulations or the Endangered Species Act.
(7) It is unlawful for any person to attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed any
offense defined in paragraphs (h)(2) through (6) of this section.
(8) The Service will not mandate any closure of areas, including National Wildlife Refuges, during hunting or
conservation order seasons, or closure or modification of hunting or conservation order seasons, in the following
situations:
(i) For the purpose of avoiding take of whooping cranes in the NEPs identified in paragraphs (h)(9)(i) through (iv)
of this section;
(ii) If a clearly marked whooping crane from the NEPs identified in paragraphs (h)(9)(i) through (iv) of this section
wanders outside the designated NEP areas. In this situation, the Service will attempt to capture the stray bird and
return it to the appropriate area if removal is requested by the State.
(9) All whooping cranes found in the wild within the boundaries listed in paragraphs (h)(9)(i) through (iv) of this
section will be considered nonessential experimental animals. Geographic areas the nonessential experimental
populations may inhabit are within the historic range of the whooping crane in the United States and include the
following:
(i) The entire State of Florida (the Kissimmee Prairie NEP). The reintroduction site is the Kissimmee Prairie
portions of Polk, Osceola, Highlands, and Okeechobee Counties. The experimental population released at
Kissimmee Prairie is expected to remain mostly within the prairie region of central Florida.
(ii) The States of Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, and Utah, and the western half of the State of Wyoming (the
Rocky Mountain NEP).
(iii) That portion of the eastern contiguous United States that includes the States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina,
Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin (the Eastern Migratory NEP). Whooping
cranes within this population are expected to occur mostly within the States of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. The additional States included within the experimental population
area are those expected to receive occasional use by the cranes, or which may be used as breeding or wintering
areas in the event of future population expansion.
(iv) The entire State of Louisiana (the Louisiana Nonmigratory NEP). The reintroduction site is the White Lake
Wetlands Conservation Area of southwestern Louisiana in Vermilion Parish. Current information indicates that
White Lake is the historic location of a resident nonmigratory population of whooping cranes that bred and reared
young in Louisiana. Whooping cranes within this nonmigratory population are expected to occur mostly within the
White Lake Wetlands Conservation Area and the nearby wetlands in Vermilion Parish. The marshes and wetlands
of southwestern Louisiana are expected to receive occasional use by the cranes and may be used in the event of
future population expansion.
(v) A map of all NEP areas in the United States for whooping cranes follows:

(10) The reintroduced populations will be monitored during the duration of the projects by the use of radio
telemetry and other appropriate measures. Any animal that is determined to be sick, injured, or otherwise in need
of special care will be recaptured to the extent possible by Service and/or State wildlife personnel or their
designated agent and given appropriate care. Such animals will be released back to the wild as soon as possible,
unless physical or behavioral problems make it necessary to return them to a captive-breeding facility.
(11) The Service will reevaluate the status of the experimental populations periodically to determine future
management needs. This review will take into account the reproductive success and movement patterns of the
individuals released within the experimental population areas.
(i) [Reserved]
(j) California condor (Gymnogyps californianus). (1) The California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) population
identified in paragraph (j)(8) of this section is a nonessential experimental population, and the release of such
population will further the conservation of the species.
(2) You must not take any California condor in the wild in the experimental population area except as provided by
this rule:
(i) Throughout the entire California condor experimental population area, you will not be in violation of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) if you unavoidably and unintentionally take (including killing or injuring) a California
condor, provided such take is non-negligent and incidental to a lawful activity, such as hunting, driving, or
recreational activities, and you report the take as soon as possible as provided under paragraph 5 below.
(ii) [Reserved]
(3) If you have a valid permit issued by the Service under §17.32, you may take California condors in the wild in
the experimental population area, pursuant to the terms of the permit.
(4) Any employee or agent of the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), Bureau of Land Management or appropriate
State wildlife agency, who is designated for such purposes, when acting in the course of official duties, may take a
California condor from the wild in the experimental population area and vicinity if such action is necessary:
(i) For scientific purposes;
(ii) To relocate California condors within the experimental population area to improve condor survival, and to
address conflicts with ongoing or proposed activities, or with private landowners, when removal is necessary to
protect the condor, or is requested by an adversely affected landowner or land manager, or other adversely
affected party. Adverse effects and requests for condor relocation will be documented, reported and resolved in as
an expedient manner as appropriate to the specific situation to protect condors and avoid conflicts. Prior to any
efforts to relocate condors, the Service will obtain permission from the appropriate landowner(s);
(iii) To relocate California condors that have moved outside the experimental population area, by returning the
condor to the experimental population area or moving it to a captive breeding facility. All captures and relocations
from outside the experimental population area will be coordinated with Service Cooperators, and conducted with
the permission of the landowner(s) or appropriate land management agency(s).
(iv) To aid a sick, injured, or orphaned California condor;
(v) To salvage a dead specimen that may be useful for scientific study; or
(vi) To dispose of a dead specimen.
(5) Any taking pursuant to paragraphs (j)(2), (j)(4)(iv), (j)(4)(v), and (j)(4)(vi), of this section must be reported as
soon as possible to the Field Supervisor, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ecological Services, Arizona Field Office,
Phoenix, 2321 W. Royal Palm Road, Suite 103, Arizona (telephone 602/640-2720) who will determine the
disposition of any live or dead specimens.
(6) You must not possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means whatsoever, any
California condor or part thereof from the experimental population taken in violation of this paragraph (j) or in
violation of applicable State or Tribal laws or regulations or the Act.
(7) It is unlawful for you to attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed, any offense
defined in paragraphs (j)(2) and (j)(6) of this section.
(8) The designated experimental population area of the California condor includes portions of three states—
Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. The southern boundary is Interstate Highway 40 in Arizona from its junction with
Highway 191 west across Arizona to Kingman; the western boundary starts at Kingman, goes northwest on
Highway 93 to Interstate Highway 15, continues northeasterly on Interstate Highway 15 in Nevada and Utah, to
Interstate Highway 70 in Utah; where the northern boundary starts and goes across Utah to Highway 191; where
the eastern boundary starts and goes south through Utah until Highway 191 meets Interstate Highway 40 in
Arizona (See map at end of this paragraph (j)).
(i) All California condors released into the experimental population area, and their offspring, are to be marked and
visually identifiable by colored and coded patagial wing markers.
(ii) The Service has designated the experimental population area to accommodate the potential future movements
of a wild population of condors. All released condors and their progeny are expected to remain in the experimental
area due to the geographic extent of the designation.
(9) The nonessential experimental population area includes the entire highway rights-of-way of the highways in
paragraph (j)(8) of this section that constitute the perimeter boundary. All California condors found in the wild
within these boundaries will comprise the experimental population.
(i) The experimental population is to be monitored during the reintroduction project. All California condors are to be
given physical examinations before being released.
(ii) If there is any evidence that the condor is in poor health or diseased, it will not be released to the wild.
(iii) Any condor that displays signs of illness, is injured, or otherwise needs special care may be captured by
authorized personnel of the Service, Bureau of Land Management, or appropriate State wildlife agency or their
agents, and given the appropriate care. These condors are to be re-released into the reintroduction area as soon
as possible, unless physical or behavioral problems make it necessary to keep them in captivity for an extended
period of time, or permanently.
(10) The status of the reintroduction project is to receive an informal review on an annual basis and a formal
evaluation within the first 5 years after the initial release, and every 5 years thereafter. This evaluation will include,
but not be limited to: a review of management issues; compliance with agreements; assessment of available
carrion; dependence of older condors on supplemental food sources; post release behavior; causes and rates of
mortality; alternative release sites; project costs; public acceptance; and accomplishment of recovery tasks
prescribed in California Condor Recovery Plan. The number of variables that could affect this reintroduction project
make it difficult to develop criteria for success or failure after 5 years. However, if after 5 years the project is
experiencing a 40 percent or greater mortality rate or released condors are not finding food on their own, serious
consideration will be given to terminating the project.
(11) The Service does not intend to pursue a change in the nonessential experimental population designation to
experimental essential, threatened, or endangered, or modify the experimental population area boundaries without
consulting with and obtaining the full cooperation of affected parties located within the experimental population
area, the reintroduction program cooperators identified in the memorandum of understanding (MOU) for this
program, and the cooperators identified in the agreement for this program.
(i) The Service does not intend to change the status of this nonessential population until the California condor is
recovered and delisted in accordance with the Act or if the reintroduction is not successful and the rule is revoked.
No designation of critical habitat will be made for nonessential populations (16 U.S.C. §1539(j)(2)(C)(ii).
(ii) Legal actions or other circumstances may compel a change in this nonessential experimental population's legal
status to essential, threatened, or endangered, or compel the Service to designate critical habitat for the California
condors within the experimental population area defined in this rule. If this happens, all California condors will be
removed from the area and this experimental population rule will be revoked, unless the parties to the MOU and
agreement existing at that time agree that the birds should remain in the wild. Changes in the legal status and/or
removal of this population of California condors will be made in compliance with any applicable Federal rulemaking
and other procedures.

(k) Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi). This paragraph (k) sets forth the provisions of a rule to establish an
experimental population of Mexican wolves.
(1) Purpose of the rule. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) finds that reestablishment of an experimental
population of Mexican wolves into the subspecies' probable historical range will further the conservation of the
Mexican wolf subspecies. The Service found that the experimental population was not essential under §17.81(c)
(2).
(2) Determinations. The Mexican wolf population reestablished in the Mexican Wolf Experimental Population Area
(MWEPA), identified in paragraph (k)(4) of this section, is one nonessential experimental population. This
nonessential experimental population will be managed according to the provisions of this rule. The Service does
not intend to change the nonessential experimental designation to essential experimental, threatened, or
endangered. Critical habitat cannot be designated under the nonessential experimental classification, 16 U.S.C.
1539(j)(2)(C)(ii).
(3) Definitions. Key terms used in this rule have the following definitions:
Active den means a den or a specific site above or below ground that is used by Mexican wolves on a daily basis
to bear and raise pups, typically between approximately April 1 and July 31. More than one den site may be used
in a single season.
Cross-foster means the removal of offspring from their biological parents and placement with surrogate parents.
Depredation means the confirmed killing or wounding of lawfully present domestic animals by one or more
Mexican wolves. The Service, Wildlife Services, or other Service-designated agencies will confirm cases of wolf
depredation on lawfully present domestic animals. Cattle trespassing on Federal lands are not considered lawfully
present domestic animals.
Designated agency means a Federal, State, or tribal agency designated by the Service to assist in implementing
this rule, all or in part, consistent with a Service-approved management plan, special management measure,
conference opinion pursuant to section 7(a)(4) of the Act, section 6 of the Act as described in §17.31 for State
game and fish agencies with authority to manage Mexican wolves, or a valid permit issued by the Service through
§17.32.
Disturbance-causing land-use activity means any activity on Federal lands within a 1-mi (1.6-km) radius around
release pens when Mexican wolves are in them, around active dens between April 1 and July 31, and around
active Mexican wolf rendezvous sites between June 1 and September 30, which the Service determines could
adversely affect reproductive success, natural behavior, or persistence of Mexican wolves. Such activities may
include, but are not limited to, timber or wood harvesting, prescribed fire, mining or mine development, camping
outside designated campgrounds, livestock husbandry activities (e.g., livestock drives, roundups, branding,
vaccinating, etc.), off-road vehicle use, hunting, and any other use or activity with the potential to disturb wolves.
The following activities are specifically excluded from this definition:
(A) Lawfully present livestock and use of water sources by livestock;
(B) Livestock drives if no reasonable alternative route or timing exists;
(C) Vehicle access over established roads to non-Federal land where legally permitted activities are ongoing if no
reasonable alternative route exists;
(D) Use of lands within the National Park or National Wildlife Refuge Systems as safety buffer zones for military
activities and Department of Homeland Security border security activities;
(E) Fire-fighting activities associated with wildfires; and
(F) Any authorized, specific land use that was active and ongoing at the time Mexican wolves chose to locate a
den or rendezvous site nearby.
Domestic animal means livestock as defined in this paragraph (k)(3) and non-feral dogs.
Federal land means land owned and under the administration of Federal agencies including, but not limited to, the
Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, Department of Energy, or
Department of Defense.
Feral dog means any dog (Canis familiaris) or wolf-dog hybrid that, because of absence of physical restraint or
conspicuous means of identifying it at a distance as non-feral, is reasonably thought to range freely without
discernible, proximate control by any person. Feral dogs do not include domestic dogs that are penned, leashed,
or otherwise restrained (e.g., by shock collar) or which are working livestock or being lawfully used to trail or locate
wildlife.
Harass means intentional or negligent actions or omissions that create the likelihood of injury to wildlife by
annoying it to such an extent as to significantly disrupt normal behavioral patterns, which include, but are not
limited to, breeding, feeding, or sheltering.
In the act of biting, killing, or wounding means grasping, biting, wounding, or feeding upon a live domestic animal
on non-Federal land or live livestock on Federal land. The term does not include feeding on an animal carcass.
Initial release means the release of Mexican wolves to the wild within Zone 1, as defined in this paragraph (k)(3),
or in accordance with tribal or private land agreements in Zone 2, as defined in this paragraph (k)(3), that have
never been in the wild, or releasing pups that have never been in the wild and are less than 5 months old within
Zones 1 or 2. The initial release of pups less than 5 months old into Zone 2 allows for the cross-fostering of pups
from the captive population into the wild, as well as enables translocation-eligible adults to be re-released in Zone
2 with pups born in captivity.
Intentional harassment means deliberate, preplanned harassment of Mexican wolves, including by less-than-lethal
means (such as 12-gauge shotgun rubber-bullets and bean-bag shells) designed to cause physical discomfort and
temporary physical injury, but not death. Intentional harassment includes situations where the Mexican wolf or
wolves may have been unintentionally attracted—or intentionally tracked, waited for, chased, or searched out—
and then harassed. Intentional harassment of Mexican wolves is only allowed under a permit issued by the Service
or its designated agency.
Livestock means domestic alpacas, bison, burros (donkeys), cattle, goats, horses, llamas, mules, and sheep, or
other domestic animals defined as livestock in Service-approved State and tribal Mexican wolf management plans.
Poultry is not considered livestock under this rule.
Mexican Wolf Experimental Population Area (MWEPA) means an area in Arizona and New Mexico including
Zones 1, 2, and 3, as defined in this paragraph (k)(3), that lies south of Interstate Highway 40 to the international
border with Mexico.
Non-Federal land means any private, State-owned, or tribal trust land.
Occupied Mexican wolf range means an area of confirmed presence of Mexican wolves based on the most recent
map of occupied range posted on the Service's Mexican Wolf Recovery Program Web site
at http://www.fws.gov/southwest/es/mexicanwolf/. Specific to the prohibitions at paragraphs (k)(5)(iii) and (k)(5)(vii)
(D) of this section, Zone 3, as defined in this paragraph (k)(3), and tribal trust lands are not considered occupied
range.
Opportunistic harassment means scaring any Mexican wolf from the immediate area by taking actions such as
discharging firearms or other projectile-launching devices in proximity to, but not in the direction of, the wolf,
throwing objects at it, or making loud noise in proximity to it. Such harassment might cause temporary, nondebilitating physical injury, but is not reasonably anticipated to cause permanent physical injury or death.
Opportunistic harassment of Mexican wolves can occur without a permit issued by the Service or its designated
agency.
Problem wolves mean Mexican wolves that, for purposes of management and control by the Service or its
designated agent(s), are:
(A) Individuals or members of a group or pack (including adults, yearlings, and pups greater than 4 months of age)
that were involved in a depredation on lawfully present domestic animals;
(B) Habituated to humans, human residences, or other facilities regularly occupied by humans; or
(C) Aggressive when unprovoked toward humans.
Rendezvous site means a gathering and activity area regularly used by Mexican wolf pups after they have
emerged from the den. Typically, these sites are used for a period ranging from about 1 week to 1 month in the
first summer after birth during the period from June 1 to September 30. Several rendezvous sites may be used in
succession within a single season.
Service-approved management plan means management plans approved by the Regional Director or Director of
the Service through which Federal, State, or tribal agencies may become a designated agency. The management
plan must address how Mexican wolves will be managed to achieve conservation goals in compliance with the Act,
this experimental population rule, and other Service policies. If a Federal, State, or tribal agency becomes a
designated agency through a Service-approved management plan, the Service will help coordinate their activities
while retaining authority for program direction, oversight, guidance, and authorization of Mexican wolf removals.
Take means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in
any such conduct (16 U.S.C. 1532(19)).
Translocate means the release of Mexican wolves into the wild that have previously been in the wild. In the
MWEPA, translocations will occur only in Zones 1 and 2, as defined in this paragraph (k)(3).
Tribal trust land means any lands title to which is either: Held in trust by the United States for the benefit of any
Indian tribe or individual; or held by any Indian tribe or individual subject to restrictions by the United States against
alienation. For purposes of this rule, tribal trust land does not include land purchased in fee title by a tribe. We
consider fee simple land purchased by tribes to be private land.
Unacceptable impact to a wild ungulate herd will be determined by a State game and fish agency based upon
ungulate management goals, or a 15 percent decline in an ungulate herd as documented by a State game and fish
agency, using their preferred methodology, based on the preponderance of evidence from bull to cow ratios, cow
to calf ratios, hunter days, and/or elk population estimates.
Unintentional take means the take of a Mexican wolf by any person if the take is unintentional and occurs while
engaging in an otherwise lawful activity, occurs despite the use of due care, is coincidental to an otherwise lawful
activity, and is not done on purpose. Taking a Mexican wolf by poisoning or shooting will not be considered
unintentional take.
Wild ungulate herd means an assemblage of wild ungulates (bighorn sheep, bison, deer, elk, or pronghorn) living
in a given area.
Wildlife Services means the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife
Services.
Wounded means exhibiting scraped or torn hide or flesh, bleeding, or other evidence of physical damage caused
by a Mexican wolf bite.
Zone 1 means an area within the MWEPA in Arizona and New Mexico into which Mexican wolves will be allowed
to naturally disperse and occupy and where Mexican wolves may be initially released from captivity or
translocated. Zone 1 includes all of the Apache, Gila, and Sitgreaves National Forests; the Payson, Pleasant
Valley, and Tonto Basin Ranger Districts of the Tonto National Forest; and the Magdalena Ranger District of the
Cibola National Forest.
Zone 2 is an area within the MWEPA into which Mexican wolves will be allowed to naturally disperse and occupy,
and where Mexican wolves may be translocated.
(A) On Federal land in Zone 2, initial releases of Mexican wolves are limited to pups less than 5 months old, which
allows for the cross-fostering of pups from the captive population into the wild, as well as enables translocationeligible adults to be re-released with pups born in captivity. On private and tribal land in Zone 2, Mexican wolves of
any age, including adults, can also be initially released under a Service- and State-approved management
agreement with private landowners or a Service-approved management agreement with tribal agencies.
(B) The northern boundary of Zone 2 is Interstate Highway 40; the western boundary extends south from Interstate
Highway 40 and follows Arizona State Highway 93, Arizona State Highway 89/60, Interstate Highway 10, and
Interstate Highway 19 to the United States-Mexico international border; the southern boundary is the United
States-Mexico international border heading east, then follows New Mexico State Highway 81/146 north to
Interstate Highway 10, then along New Mexico State Highway 26 to Interstate Highway 25; the boundary
continues along New Mexico State Highway 70/54/506/24; the eastern boundary follows the eastern edge of Otero
County, New Mexico, to the north and then along the southern and then eastern edge of Lincoln County, New
Mexico, until it intersects with New Mexico State Hwy 285 and follows New Mexico State Highway 285 north to the
northern boundary of Interstate Highway 40. Zone 2 excludes the area in Zone 1, as defined in this paragraph (k)
(3).
Zone 3 means an area within the MWEPA into which Mexican wolves will be allowed to disperse and occupy, but
neither initial releases nor translocations will occur there.
(A) Zone 3 is an area of less suitable Mexican wolf habitat where Mexican wolves will be more actively managed
under the authorities of this rule to reduce human conflict. We expect Mexican wolves to occupy areas of suitable
habitat where ungulate populations are adequate to support them and conflict with humans and their livestock is
low. If Mexican wolves move outside of areas of suitable habitat, they will be more actively managed.
(B) Zone 3 is two separate geographic areas on the eastern and western sides of the MWEPA. One area of Zone
3 is in western Arizona, and the other is in eastern New Mexico. In Arizona, the northern boundary of Zone 3 is
Interstate Highway 40; the eastern boundary extends south from Interstate Highway 40 and follows State Highway
93, State Highway 89/60, Interstate Highway 10, and Interstate Highway 19 to the United States-Mexico
international border; the southern boundary is the United States-Mexico international border; the western boundary
is the Arizona-California State border. In New Mexico, the northern boundary of Zone 3 is Interstate Highway 40;
the eastern boundary is the New Mexico-Texas State border; the southern boundary is the United States-Mexico
international border heading west, then follows State Highway 81/146 north to Interstate Highway 10, then along
State Highway 26 to Interstate Highway 25, the southern boundary continues along State Highway 70/54/506/24;
the western boundary follows the eastern edge of Otero County to the north and then along the southern and then
eastern edge of Lincoln County until it follows State Highway 285 north to the northern boundary of Interstate
Highway 40.
(4) Designated area. The designated experimental population area for Mexican wolves classified as a nonessential
experimental population by this rule is within the subspecies' probable historical range and is wholly separate
geographically from the current range of any known Mexican wolves. The boundaries of the MWEPA are the
portions of Arizona and New Mexico that are south of Interstate Highway 40 to the international border with
Mexico. A map of the MWEPA follows:

(5) Prohibitions. Take of any Mexican wolf in the experimental population is prohibited, except as provided in
paragraph (k)(7) of this section. Specifically, the following actions are prohibited by this rule:
(i) No person may possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means whatsoever any
Mexican wolf or wolf part from the experimental population except as authorized in this rule or by a valid permit
issued by the Service under §17.32. If a person kills or injures a Mexican wolf or finds a dead or injured wolf or
wolf parts, the person must not disturb them (unless instructed to do so by the Service or a designated agency),
must minimize disturbance of the area around them, and must report the incident to the Service's Mexican Wolf
Recovery Coordinator or a designated agency of the Service within 24 hours as described in paragraph (k)(6) of
this section.
(ii) No person may attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed, any offense defined in
this rule.
(iii) Taking a Mexican wolf with a trap, snare, or other type of capture device within occupied Mexican wolf range is
prohibited (except as authorized in paragraph (k)(7)(iv) of this section) and will not be considered unintentional
take, unless due care was exercised to avoid injury or death to a wolf. With regard to trapping activities, due care
includes:
(A) Following the regulations, proclamations, recommendations, guidelines, and/or laws within the State or tribal
trust lands where the trapping takes place.
(B) Modifying or using appropriately sized traps, chains, drags, and stakes that provide a reasonable expectation
that the wolf will be prevented from either breaking the chain or escaping with the trap on the wolf, or using
sufficiently small traps (less than or equal to a Victor #2 trap) that allow a reasonable expectation that the wolf will
either immediately pull free from the trap or span the jaw spread when stepping on the trap.
(C) Not taking a Mexican wolf using neck snares.
(D) Reporting the capture of a Mexican wolf (even if the wolf has pulled free) within 24 hours to the Service as
described in paragraph (k)(6) of this section.
(E) If a Mexican wolf is captured, trappers can call the Interagency Field Team (1-888-459-WOLF [9653]) as soon
as possible to arrange for radio-collaring and releasing of the wolf. Per State regulations for releasing nontarget
animals, trappers may also choose to release the animal alive and subsequently contact the Service or
Interagency Field Team.
(6) Reporting requirements. Unless otherwise specified in this rule or in a permit, any take of a Mexican wolf must
be reported to the Service or a designated agency within 24 hours. We will allow additional reasonable time if
access to the site is limited. Report any take of Mexican wolves, including opportunistic harassment, to the
Mexican Wolf Recovery Program, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, New Mexico Ecological Services Field Office,
2105 Osuna Road, NE., Albuquerque, NM 87113; by telephone 505-761-4704; or by facsimile 505-346-2542.
Additional contact information can also be found on the Mexican Wolf Recovery Program's Web site
at http://www.fws.gov/southwest/es/mexicanwolf/. Unless otherwise specified in a permit, any wolf or wolf part
taken legally must be turned over to the Service, which will determine the disposition of any live or dead wolves.
(7) Allowable forms of take of Mexican wolves. Take of Mexican wolves in the experimental population is allowed
as follows:
(i) Take in defense of human life. Under section 11(a)(3) of the Act and §17.21(c)(2), any person may take (which
includes killing as well as nonlethal actions such as harassing or harming) a Mexican wolf in self-defense or
defense of the lives of others. This take must be reported as specified in accordance with paragraph (k)(6) of this
section. If the Service or a designated agency determines that a Mexican wolf presents a threat to human life or
safety, the Service or the designated agency may kill the wolf or place it in captivity.
(ii) Opportunistic harassment. Anyone may conduct opportunistic harassment of any Mexican wolf at any time
provided that Mexican wolves are not purposefully attracted, tracked, searched out, or chased and then harassed.
Such harassment of Mexican wolves might cause temporary, non-debilitating physical injury, but is not reasonably
anticipated to cause permanent physical injury or death. Any form of opportunistic harassment must be reported
as specified in accordance with paragraph (k)(6) of this section.
(iii) Intentional harassment. After the Service or its designated agency has confirmed Mexican wolf presence on
any land within the MWEPA, the Service or its designated agency may issue permits valid for not longer than 1
year, with appropriate stipulations or conditions, to allow intentional harassment of Mexican wolves. The
harassment must occur in the area and under the conditions specifically identified in the permit. Permittees must
report this take as specified in accordance with paragraph (k)(6) of this section.
(iv) Take on non-Federal lands. (A) On non-Federal lands anywhere within the MWEPA, domestic animal owners
or their agents may take (including kill or injure) any Mexican wolf that is in the act of biting, killing, or wounding a
domestic animal, as defined in paragraph (k)(3) of this section. After the take of a Mexican wolf, the Service must
be provided evidence that the wolf was in the act of biting, killing, or wounding a domestic animal at the time of
take, such as evidence of freshly wounded or killed domestic animals. This take must be reported as specified in
accordance with paragraph (k)(6) of this section. The take of any Mexican wolf without evidence of biting, killing, or
wounding domestic animals may be referred to the appropriate authorities for investigation.
(B) Take of Mexican wolves by livestock guarding dogs, when used to protect livestock on non-Federal lands, is
allowed. If such take by a guard dog occurs, it must be reported as specified in accordance with paragraph (k)(6)
of this section.
(C) Based on the Service's or a designated agency's discretion and in conjunction with a removal action
authorized by the Service, the Service or designated agency may issue permits to domestic animal owners or their
agents (e.g., employees, land manager, local officials) to take (including intentional harassment or killing) any
Mexican wolf that is present on non-Federal land where specified in the permit. Permits issued under this provision
will specify the number of days for which the permit is valid and the maximum number of Mexican wolves for which
take is allowed. Take by permittees under this provision will assist the Service or designated agency in completing
control actions. Domestic animal owners or their agents must report this take as specified in accordance with
paragraph (k)(6) of this section.
(v) Take on Federal land. (A) Based on the Service's or a designated agency's discretion and in conjunction with a
removal action authorized by the Service, the Service may issue permits to livestock owners or their agents (e.g.,
employees, land manager, local officials) to take (including intentional harassment or killing) any Mexican wolf that
is in the act of biting, killing, or wounding livestock on Federal land where specified in the permit.
(1) Permits issued under this provision will specify the number of days for which the permit is valid and the
maximum number of Mexican wolves for which take is allowed. Take by permittees under this provision will assist
the Service or designated agency in completing control actions. Livestock owners or their agents must report this
take as specified in accordance with paragraph (k)(6) of this section.
(2) After the take of a Mexican wolf, the Service must be provided evidence that the wolf was in the act of biting,
killing, or wounding livestock at the time of take, such as evidence of freshly wounded or killed livestock. The take
of any Mexican wolf without evidence of biting, killing, or wounding domestic animals may be referred to the
appropriate authorities for investigation.
(B) Take of Mexican wolves by livestock guarding dogs, when used to protect livestock on Federal lands, is
allowed. If such take by a guard dog occurs, it must be reported as specified in accordance with paragraph (k)(6)
of this section.
(C) This provision for take on Federal land does not exempt Federal agencies and their contractors from
complying with sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(4) of the Act, the latter of which requires a conference with the Service if
they propose an action that is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the Mexican wolf. In areas within the
National Park System and National Wildlife Refuge System, Federal agencies must treat Mexican wolves as a
threatened species for purposes of complying with section 7 of the Act.
(vi) Take in response to unacceptable impacts to a wild ungulate herd. If the Arizona or New Mexico game and fish
agency determines that Mexican wolf predation is having an unacceptable impact to a wild ungulate herd, as
defined in paragraph (k)(3) of this section, the respective State game and fish agency may request approval from
the Service that Mexican wolves be removed from the area of the impacted wild ungulate herd. Upon written
approval from the Service, the State (Arizona or New Mexico) or any designated agency may be authorized to
remove (capture and translocate in the MWEPA, move to captivity, transfer to Mexico, or lethally take) Mexican
wolves. These management actions must occur in accordance with the following provisions:
(A) The Arizona or New Mexico game and fish agency must prepare a science-based document that:
(1) Describes what data indicate that the wild ungulate herd is below management objectives, what data indicate
that the impact on the wild ungulate herd is influenced by Mexican wolf predation, why Mexican wolf removal is a
warranted solution to help restore the wild ungulate herd to State game and fish agency management objectives,
the type (level and duration) of Mexican wolf removal management action being proposed, and how wild ungulate
herd response to wolf removal will be measured and control actions adjusted for effectiveness;
(2) Demonstrates that attempts were and are being made to identify other causes of wild ungulate herd declines
and possible remedies or conservation measures in addition to wolf removal;
(3) If appropriate, identifies areas of suitable habitat for Mexican wolf translocation; and
(4) Has been subjected to peer review and public comment prior to its submittal to the Service for written
concurrence. In order to comply with this requirement, the State game and fish agency must:
(i) Conduct the peer review process in conformance with the Office of Management and Budget's most recent
Final Information and Quality Bulletin for Peer Review and include in their proposal an explanation of how the
bulletin's standards were considered and satisfied; and
(ii) Obtain at least three independent peer reviews from individuals with relevant expertise other than staff
employed by the State (Arizona or New Mexico) requesting approval from the Service that Mexican wolves be
removed from the area of the affected wild ungulate herd.
(B) Before the Service will allow Mexican wolf removal in response to impacts to wild ungulates, the Service will
evaluate the information provided by the requesting State (Arizona or New Mexico) and provide a written
determination to the requesting State game and fish agency on whether such actions are scientifically based and
warranted.
(C) If all of the provisions above are met, the Service will, to the maximum extent allowable under the Act, make a
determination providing for Mexican wolf removal. If the request is approved, the Service will include in the written
determination which management action (capture and translocate in MWEPA, move to captivity, transfer to
Mexico, lethally take, or no action) is most appropriate for the conservation of the Mexican wolf subspecies.
(D) Because tribes are able to request the capture and removal of Mexican wolves from tribal trust lands at any
time, take in response to impacts to wild ungulate herds is not applicable on tribal trust lands.
(vii) Take by Service personnel or a designated agency. The Service or a designated agency may take any
Mexican wolf in the experimental population in a manner consistent with a Service-approved management plan,
special management measure, biological opinion pursuant to section 7(a)(2) of the Act, conference opinion
pursuant to section 7(a)(4) of the Act, section 6 of the Act as described in §17.31 for State game and fish agencies
with authority to manage Mexican wolves, or a valid permit issued by the Service through §17.32.
(A) The Service or designated agency may use leg-hold traps and any other effective device or method for
capturing or killing Mexican wolves to carry out any measure that is a part of a Service-approved management
plan, special management measure, or valid permit issued by the Service under §17.32, regardless of State law.
The disposition of all Mexican wolves (live or dead) or their parts taken as part of a Service-approved management
activity must follow provisions in Service-approved management plans or interagency agreements or procedures
approved by the Service on a case-by-case basis.
(B) The Service or designated agency may capture; kill; subject to genetic testing; place in captivity; or euthanize
any feral wolf-like animal or feral wolf hybrid found within the MWEPA that shows physical or behavioral evidence
of: Hybridization with other canids, such as domestic dogs or coyotes; being a wolf-like animal raised in captivity,
other than as part of a Service-approved wolf recovery program; or being socialized or habituated to humans. If
determined to be a pure Mexican wolf, the wolf may be returned to the wild.
(C) The Service or designated agency may carry out intentional or opportunistic harassment, nonlethal control
measures, translocation, placement in captivity, or lethal control of problem wolves. To determine the presence of
problem wolves, the Service will consider all of the following:
(1) Evidence of wounded domestic animal(s) or remains of domestic animal(s) that show that the injury or death
was caused by Mexican wolves;
(2) The likelihood that additional Mexican wolf-caused depredations or attacks of domestic animals may occur if no
harassment, nonlethal control, translocation, placement in captivity, or lethal control is taken;
(3) Evidence of attractants or intentional feeding (baiting) of Mexican wolves; and
(4) Evidence that Mexican wolves are habituated to humans, human residences, or other facilities regularly
occupied by humans, or evidence that Mexican wolves have exhibited unprovoked and aggressive behavior
toward humans.
(D) Wildlife Services will not use M-44's and choking-type snares in occupied Mexican wolf range. Wildlife
Services may restrict or modify other predator control activities pursuant to a Service-approved management
agreement or a conference opinion between Wildlife Services and the Service.
(viii) Unintentional take. (A) Take of a Mexican wolf by any person is allowed if the take is unintentional and occurs
while engaging in an otherwise lawful activity. Such take must be reported as specified in accordance with
paragraph (k)(6) of this section. Hunters and other shooters have the responsibility to identify their quarry or target
before shooting; therefore, shooting a Mexican wolf as a result of mistaking it for another species will not be
considered unintentional take. Take by poisoning will not be considered unintentional take.
(B) Federal, State, or tribal agency employees or their contractors may take a Mexican wolf or wolf-like animal if
the take is unintentional and occurs while engaging in the course of their official duties. This includes, but is not
limited to, military training and testing and Department of Homeland Security border security activities. Take of
Mexican wolves by Federal, State, or tribal agencies must be reported as specified in accordance with paragraph
(k)(6) of this section.
(C) Take of Mexican wolves by Wildlife Services employees while conducting official duties associated with
predator damage management activities for species other than Mexican wolves may be considered unintentional if
it is coincidental to a legal activity and the Wildlife Services employees have adhered to all applicable Wildlife
Services' policies, Mexican wolf standard operating procedures, and reasonable and prudent measures or
recommendations contained in Wildlife Service's biological and conference opinions.
(ix) Take for research purposes. The Service may issue permits under §17.32, and designated agencies may issue
permits under State and Federal laws and regulations, for individuals to take Mexican wolves pursuant to scientific
study proposals approved by the agency or agencies with jurisdiction for Mexican wolves and for the area in which
the study will occur. Such take should lead to management recommendations for, and thus provide for the
conservation of, the Mexican wolf.
(8) Disturbance-causing land-use activities. For any activity on Federal lands that the Service determines could
adversely affect reproductive success, natural behavior, or persistence of Mexican wolves, the Service will work
with Federal agencies to use their authorities to temporarily restrict human access and disturbance-causing landuse activities within a 1-mi (1.6-km) radius around release pens when Mexican wolves are in them, around active
dens between approximately April 1 and July 31, and around active Mexican wolf rendezvous sites between
approximately June 1 and September 30, as necessary.
(9) Management. (i) On private land within Zones 1 and 2, as defined in paragraph (k)(3) of this section, of the
MWEPA, the Service or designated agency may develop and implement management actions to benefit Mexican
wolf recovery in cooperation with willing private landowners, including initial release and translocation of Mexican
wolves onto such lands in Zones 1 or 2 if requested by the landowner and with the concurrence of the State game
and fish agency.
(ii) On tribal trust land within Zones 1 and 2, as defined in paragraph (k)(3) of this section, of the MWEPA, the
Service or a designated agency may develop and implement management actions in cooperation with willing tribal
governments, including: occupancy by natural dispersal, initial release, and translocation of Mexican wolves onto
such lands. No agreement between the Service and a Tribe is necessary for the capture and removal of Mexican
wolves from tribal trust lands if requested by the tribal government.
(iii) Based on end-of-year counts, we will manage for a population objective of 300 to 325 Mexican wolves in the
MWEPA in Arizona and New Mexico. So as not to exceed this population objective, we will exercise all
management options with preference for translocation to other Mexican wolf populations to further the
conservation of the subspecies. The Service may change this provision as necessary to accommodate a new
recovery plan.
(iv) We are implementing a phased approach to Mexican wolf management within the MWEPA in western Arizona
as follows:
(A) Phase 1 will be implemented for the first 5 years following February 17, 2015. During this phase, initial
releases and translocation of Mexican wolves can occur throughout Zone 1 with the exception of the area west of
State Highway 87 in Arizona. No translocations can be conducted west of State Highway 87 in Arizona in Zone 2.
Mexican wolves can disperse naturally from Zones 1 and 2 into, and occupy, the MWEPA (Zones 1, 2, and 3, as
defined in paragraph (k)(3) of this section). However, during Phase 1, dispersal and occupancy in Zone 2 west of
State Highway 87 will be limited to the area north of State Highway 260 and west to Interstate 17. A map of Phase
1 follows:

(B) In Phase 2, initial releases and translocation of Mexican wolves can occur throughout Zone 1 including the
area west of State Highway 87 in Arizona. No translocations can be conducted west of Interstate Highway 17 in
Arizona. Mexican wolves can disperse naturally from Zones 1 and 2 into, and occupy, the MWEPA (Zones 1, 2,
and 3, as defined in paragraph (k)(3) of this section). However, during Phase 2, dispersal and occupancy west of
Interstate Highway 17 will be limited to the area east of Highway 89 in Arizona. A map of Phase 2 follows:

(C) In Phase 3, initial release and translocation of Mexican wolves can occur throughout Zone 1. No translocations
can be conducted west of State Highway 89 in Arizona. Mexican wolves can disperse naturally from Zones 1 and
2 into, and occupy, the MWEPA (Zones 1, 2, and 3, as defined in paragraph (k)(3) of this section). A map of Phase
3 follows:

(D) While implementing this phased approach, two evaluations will be conducted: The first evaluation will cover the
first 5 years and the second evaluation will cover the first 8 years after February 17, 2015 in order to determine if
we will move forward with the next phase.
(1) Each phase evaluation will consider adverse human interactions with Mexican wolves, impacts to wild ungulate
herds, and whether or not the Mexican wolf population in the MWEPA is achieving a population number consistent
with a 10 percent annual growth rate based on end-of-year counts, such that 5 years after February 17, 2015, the
population of Mexican wolves in the wild is at least 150, and 8 years after February 17, 2015, the population of
Mexican wolves in the wild is at least 200.
(2) If we have not achieved this population growth, we will move forward to the next phase. Regardless of the
outcome of the two evaluations, by the beginning of year 12 from February 17, 2015, we will move to full
implementation of this rule throughout the MWEPA, and the phased management approach will no longer apply.
(E) The phasing may be expedited with the concurrence of participating State game and fish agencies.
(10) Evaluation. The Service will evaluate Mexican wolf reestablishment progress and prepare periodic progress
reports and detailed annual reports. In addition, approximately 5 years after February 17, 2015, the Service will
prepare a one-time overall evaluation of the experimental population program that focuses on modifications
needed to improve the efficacy of this rule, reestablishment of Mexican wolves to the wild, and the contribution the
experimental population is making to the recovery of the Mexican wolf.
(l) Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis). (1) Where does this special rule apply? The special rule in this paragraph
(l) applies to the designated Bitterroot Grizzly Bear Experimental Population Area (Experimental Population Area),
which is found within the species' historic range and is defined as follows:
The boundaries of the Experimental Population Area are delineated by U.S. 93 from its junction with the Bitterroot
River near Missoula, Montana, to Challis, Idaho; Idaho 75 from Challis to Stanley, Idaho; Idaho 21 from Stanley to
Lowman, Idaho; State Highway 17 from Lowman to Banks, Idaho; Idaho 55 from Banks to New Meadows, Idaho;
U.S. 95 from New Meadows to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; Interstate 90 from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to its junction with
the Clark Fork River near St. Regis, Montana; the Clark Fork River from its junction with Interstate 90 near St.
Regis to its confluence with the Bitterroot River near Missoula, Montana; and the Bitterroot River from its
confluence with the Clark Fork River to its junction with U.S. Highway 93, near Missoula, Montana (See map at the
end of this paragraph (l)).
(2) What is the legal status of the grizzly bear? (i) The grizzly bear is listed as “threatened” in §17.11 (h) and
protected under this part. However, the grizzly bear population to which this paragraph (l) applies is considered a
nonessential experimental population in accordance with section 10(j) of the Act.
(ii) We have determined that, as of December 18, 2000, no grizzly bear population exists in the Experimental
Population Area. We find, in accordance with §17.81 (b), that the reintroduction of grizzly bears as a nonessential
experimental population, as defined in §17.81 (b), will further the conservation of the species and will be consistent
with provisions of section 10(j) of the Act, which requires that an experimental population be geographically
separate from other nonexperimental populations of the same species. We also find, in accordance with §17.81 (c)
(2), that the experimental population of grizzly bears in the Experimental Population Area is not essential to the
survival of the species in the wild.
(iii) Grizzly bears within the Experimental Population Area and the Recovery Area will be accommodated through
management provisions provided for in this paragraph (l) and through management plans and policies developed
by the Citizen Management Committee (Committee; see paragraph (l)(6) of this section). After reintroduction,
every grizzly bear found within the Experimental Population Area will be considered a member of the nonessential
experimental population.
(iv) In the conterminous United States, a grizzly bear that is outside the Experimental Population Area identified in
paragraph (l)(1) of this section will be considered as threatened.
(3) Where will grizzly bears be released, and where will recovery be emphasized? The Bitterroot Grizzly Bear
Recovery Area identifies the area of recovery emphasis within the Experimental Population Area. The Recovery
Area consists of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness and the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness (See map
at the end of paragraph (l) of this section). All reintroductions will take place in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness
unless it is later determined that reintroduction in the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness is appropriate.
If, in the future, new wilderness areas are designated adjacent to the Recovery Area, the Committee may
recommend to the Secretary their addition to the Recovery Area. The Secretary would have to amend this
paragraph (l) to change the definition of the Recovery Area.
(4) What activities are prohibited in the Experimental Population Area? (i) You may not take (see definition in
§10.12 of this subchapter) any grizzly bear in the Experimental Population Area, except as provided in this
paragraph (l). We may refer unauthorized take of grizzly bears to the appropriate authorities for prosecution.
(ii) You may not possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means whatsoever any grizzly
bear or parts thereof that are taken from the Experimental Population Area or possessed in violation of the
regulations in this paragraph (l) or in violation of applicable State wildlife conservation laws or regulations or the
Act.
(iii) You may not attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed, any offense defined in this
paragraph (l).
(5) What activities are allowed in the Experimental Population Area? (i) For purposes of this paragraph (l), except
for persons engaged in hunting or shooting activities, you will not be in violation of the Act for “unavoidable and
unintentional take” (see definition in paragraph (l)(16) of this section) of grizzly bears within the Experimental
Population Area when such take is incidental to a legal activity and is not a result of negligent conduct lacking
reasonable due care, and when due care was exercised to avoid the taking. Any taking must be reported within 24
hours to appropriate authorities as listed in paragraph (l)(5)(iii) of this section. Persons lawfully engaged in hunting
or shooting activities must correctly identify their target before shooting in order to avoid illegally shooting a grizzly
bear. Shooting a grizzly bear as a result of mistaking it for another species is considered a lack of reasonable due
care. The act of taking a grizzly bear that is wrongly identified as another species may be referred to appropriate
authorities for prosecution.
(ii) Any person with a valid permit issued by us may take grizzly bears in the Experimental Population Area for
scientific purposes, the enhancement of propagation or survival of the species, zoological exhibition, and other
conservation purposes. Such permits must be consistent with the Act, with management plans adopted for the
nonessential experimental population, and with applicable State wildlife conservation laws and regulations.
(iii) You may take grizzly bears in the Experimental Population Area in self-defense or in defense of the lives of
others. Such taking must be reported within 24 hours as to date, exact location, and circumstances to the Grizzly
Bear Recovery Coordinator, University Hall, Room 309, University of Montana, Missoula, Montana 59812 (406243-4903); or the Assistant Regional Director for Law Enforcement, Eastside Federal Complex, 911 NE 11th
Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97232-4181 (503-231-6125); or the Assistant Regional Director for Law Enforcement,
P.O. Box 25486, DFC, Denver, Colorado 80225 (303-236-7540); and either the Idaho Department of Fish and
Game, P.O. Box 25, Boise Idaho 83707 (208-334-3700); or the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks,
1420 E. Sixth Avenue, Helena, Montana 59620 (406-444-2535); and Nez Perce Tribal authorities (208-843-2253)
(as appropriate).
(iv) Livestock owners may obtain a permit from the Service, and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, the
Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, or appropriate Tribal authorities to harass (see definition in §17.3)
grizzly bears found in the Experimental Population Area that are actually pursuing or killing livestock (to include
permitting the use of livestock guard dogs around livestock to harass such grizzly bears). Prior to issuance of such
a permit, authorized State, Federal, or Tribal officials must document pursuit or killing of livestock. All such
harassment must be accomplished by an opportunistic, noninjurious method (see definition of “opportunistic,
noninjurious harassment” in paragraph (l)(16) of this section) to the grizzly bear, and such harassment must be
reported within 24 hours as to date, exact location, and circumstances to the authorities listed under paragraph (l)
(5)(iii) of this section.
(v) Livestock owners may obtain a permit from the Service, and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, the
Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks or appropriate Tribal authorities to take grizzly bears on private
lands found in the Experimental Population Area in a manner other than harassment as defined in this paragraph
(l), in order to protect livestock actually pursued or being killed on private property. Prior to issuance of such a
permit, authorized State, Federal, or Tribal officials must document pursuit or killing of livestock. Any response
protocol established by the Committee must have been satisfied and efforts to capture depredating grizzly bears
by Service or State or Tribal wildlife agency personnel must have proven unsuccessful. All such taking must be
reported as to date, exact location, and circumstances within 24 hours to the authorities listed under paragraph (l)
(5)(iii) of this section.
(vi) Any authorized employee or agent of the Service or appropriate State wildlife agency or Nez Perce Tribe who
is lawfully designated for such purposes, when acting in the course of official duties, may take a grizzly bear from
the wild in the Experimental Population Area if such action is necessary to:
(A) Aid a sick, injured, or orphaned grizzly bear;
(B) Dispose of a dead grizzly bear, or salvage a dead grizzly bear that may be useful for scientific study;
(C) Take a grizzly bear that constitutes a demonstrable but nonimmediate threat to human safety or that is
responsible for depredations to lawfully present domestic animals or other personal property, if otherwise
eliminating such depredation or loss of personal property has not been possible, and after eliminating such threat
by live-capturing and releasing the grizzly bear unharmed in the area defined in paragraph (l)(2) of this section or
other areas approved by the Committee has been demonstrated not to be possible;
(D) Move a grizzly bear for genetic management purposes;
(E) Relocate grizzly bears within the Experimental Population Area to improve grizzly bear survival and recovery
prospects; or (F) Relocate a grizzly bear to avoid conflict with human activities. However, grizzly bears in the
Experimental Population Area will not be disturbed unless they demonstrate a real and imminent threat to human
safety, livestock, or bees. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, this rule provides that on private lands
outside the national forest boundary in the Bitterroot Valley, Montana (exclusion area), any human/grizzly conflicts
will be considered unacceptable. Grizzly bear occupancy will be discouraged in the exclusion area, and grizzly
bears found there will be captured and returned to the Recovery Area, or placed in captivity, or destroyed,
depending on the history of each bear. If a grizzly bear enters the exclusion area, State and Federal wildlife
management agencies will attempt to capture it immediately and notify the public of its presence as soon as
possible. The public will be kept updated until the bear is caught. Further, any grizzly bear that occupies inhabited
human settlement areas on private land within the Experimental Population Area that, in the judgment of the
management agencies or Committee, presents a clear threat to human safety or whose behavior indicates that it
may become habituated to humans, will be relocated or destroyed by management agencies.
(6) How will local citizens be involved in the management of the Bitterroot nonessential experimental grizzly bear
population? (i) The Secretary will establish a Citizen Management Committee for the Bitterroot grizzly bear
experimental population and will authorize management implementation responsibility as described in paragraph
(l)(9) of this section, in consultation with the Governors of Idaho and Montana. As soon as possible after the
effective date of this rule, the Secretary will organize the Committee by requesting nominations of citizen members
from the Governors of Idaho and Montana and the Nez Perce Tribe and nominations of agency members by
represented agencies.
(ii) The Committee will be composed of 15 members serving 6-year terms. Appointments may initially be of lesser
terms to ensure staggered replacement.
(A) Membership will consist of seven individuals appointed by the Secretary based upon the recommendations of
the Governor of Idaho, five members appointed by the Secretary based upon the recommendations of the
Governor of Montana, one member representing the Nez Perce Tribe appointed by the Secretary based on the
recommendation of the Nez Perce Tribe, one member representing the Forest Service appointed by the Secretary
of Agriculture, and one member representing the Fish and Wildlife Service appointed by the Secretary. Members
recommended by the Governors of Idaho and Montana will be based on the recommendations of interested
parties and will include at least one representative each from the appropriate State wildlife agencies. If either
Governor or the Tribe fails to make recommendations within 60 days, the Secretary (or his/her designee) will
accept recommendations from interested parties, and will make the appointments.
(B) The Committee will consist of a cross-section of interests reflecting a balance of viewpoints, and members are
to be selected for their diversity of knowledge and experience in natural resource issues, and for their commitment
to collaborative decision-making. In their recommendations to the Secretary, the Governors of Idaho and Montana
will attach written documentation of the qualifications of those nominated relating to their knowledge of, and
experience in, natural resource issues and their commitment to collaborative decision-making.
(C) Except for the representatives from Federal agencies, the Committee will be selected from communities within
and adjacent to the Recovery and Experimental Population Areas.
(D) The Secretary will fill vacancies as they occur with the appropriate members based on the recommendation of
the appropriate Governor, the Nez Perce Tribe, or agency.
(7) Will independent scientific information be readily available to the Committee? The Secretary will appoint two
scientific advisors to the Committee as nonvoting members to attend all meetings of the Committee and to provide
scientific expertise to the Committee. These scientific advisors will not be employed by Federal agencies involved
in grizzly bear recovery. The Secretary will contact the Wildlife Society Chapters in Idaho and Montana and the
Universities of Idaho and Montana for nominations and will select one wildlife scientist representing each State
and appoint them as advisors to the Committee.
(8) What is the overall mission of the Committee, and how will it operate? (i) The mission of the Committee is to
facilitate recovery of the grizzly bear in the Bitterroot ecosystem by assisting in implementing the Bitterroot
ecosystem chapter of the recovery plan (Bitterroot Ecosystem Recovery Plan Chapter—Supplement to the Grizzly
Bear Recovery Plan, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Missoula, Montana, 1996). The Committee will make
recommendations to land and wildlife management agencies that it believes will lead to recovery of the grizzly
bear. Decisions on, and implementation of, these recommendations are the responsibility of the land and wildlife
management agencies.
(ii) The Committee will meet a minimum of two times per year. These meetings will be open to the public.
Additionally, the committee will provide reasonable public notice of meetings, produce and provide written minutes
of meetings to interested persons, and involve the public in its decision-making process. This public participation
process will allow members of the public and/or special interest groups to have input to Committee decisions and
management actions.
(9) What authority will the Committee have, and what will be its primary tasks? The Committee will have the
authority and the responsibility to carry out the following functions:
(i) Developing a process for obtaining the best biological, social, and economic data. This process will include an
explicit mechanism for soliciting peer-reviewed, scientific articles on grizzly bears and their management, and
holding periodic public meetings not less than every 2 years, in which qualified scientists may submit comments to
and be questioned by the Committee. The two scientific advisors will lead this process. The Committee will base
its decisions upon the best scientific and commercial data available. All decisions of the Committee, including
components of its management plans, must lead toward recovery of the grizzly bear in the Bitterroot ecosystem
and minimize social and economic impacts to the extent practicable within the context of the existing recovery
goals for the species.
(ii) Soliciting technical advice and guidance from outside experts. The scientific advisors will lead the development
of an ongoing process to provide the Committee with the best scientific and commercial data available. The
scientific advisors will provide this information in the form of peer-reviewed scientific articles on grizzly bears and
their management, Committee meetings with presentations by scientific experts, and requests to State and
Federal management agencies and the private sector for scientific expertise and advice.
(iii) Implementing the Bitterroot Ecosystem Chapter of the Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan consistent with this
paragraph (l). The Committee will develop recommendations on existing management plans and policies of land
and wildlife management agencies, as necessary, for the management of grizzly bears in the Experimental
Population Area. The Committee will make recommendations to land and wildlife management agencies regarding
changes to plans and policies, but the final decision on implementation of those recommendations will be made by
those agencies. If Committee recommendations require significant changes to existing plans and policy, and the
agencies tentatively agree to accept those recommendations, then the requirements of the National Environmental
Policy Act may apply. Such management plans and policies will be in accordance with applicable State and
Federal laws. The Committee will give full consideration to Service comments and opinions and those of the
Forest Service, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and the
Nez Perce Tribe.
(iv) Providing means by which the public may participate in, review, and comment on the decisions of the
Committee. The Committee must thoroughly consider and respond to public input prior to making decisions.
(v) Developing its internal processes, where appropriate, such as governance, decision-making, quorum, terms of
members, officers, meeting schedules and location, public notice of meetings, and minutes.
(vi) Requesting staff support from the Service, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, Montana Department of
Fish, Wildlife and Parks, Forest Service, other affected Federal agencies, and the Nez Perce Tribe, when
necessary to perform administrative functions, and requesting reimbursement from us for non-Federal Committee
members for costs associated with travel, lodging, and incidentals.
(vii) Reviewing existing grizzly bear standards and guidelines used by the Forest Service and other agencies and
landowners. The Committee will perform an annual review of grizzly bear mortalities and the number and location
of bear/human conflicts. This review will be the primary mechanism to assess the adequacy of existing
management techniques and standards. If the Committee deems such standards and guidelines inadequate for
recovery of grizzly bears, the Committee may recommend changes to the Forest Service and other agencies and
landowners.
(viii) Developing grizzly bear guidance for proper camping and sanitation within the Experimental Population Area
and making recommendations to land management agencies for adoption of such guidelines. Existing camping
and sanitation procedures developed in other ecosystems with grizzly bears will serve as a basis for such
guidelines.
(ix) Developing a protocol for responding to grizzly/human encounters, livestock depredations, damage to lawfully
present property, and other grizzly/human conflicts within the Experimental Population Area. Any response
protocol developed by the Committee will have to undergo public comment and be revised as appropriate based
on comments received. Any conflicts or mortalities associated with these activities will result in review by the
Committee to determine what the Committee may do to help prevent future conflicts or mortalities. The Committee
will recommend, as necessary, policy changes on trail restrictions for human safety to appropriate wildlife and land
management agencies.
(x) Recommending to the Service changes to recovery criteria, including mortality limits, population
determinations, and other criteria for recovery as appropriate.
(xi) Reviewing all human-caused grizzly bear mortalities to determine whether new measures for avoiding future
occurrences are required and make recommendations on such measures to appropriate land and wildlife
management agencies. If grizzly bear mortalities occur as a result of black bear hunting, the Committee will work
with the State Fish and Game Departments in both Idaho and Montana to develop solutions to minimize the effects
on grizzly bears of black bear hunting.
(xii) Developing strategies to emphasize recovery inside the Recovery Area and to accommodate grizzly bears
inside other areas of the Experimental Population Area.
(A) Grizzly bears may range outside the Recovery Area because grizzly bear habitat exists throughout the
Experimental Population Area. The Committee will not recommend that bears be disturbed or moved unless
conflicts are both significant and cannot be corrected as determined by the Committee. This provision includes
conflicts associated with livestock, for which the Committee will develop strategies to discourage grizzly bear
occupancy in portions of the Experimental Population Area outside of the Recovery Area.
(B) Unless the Committee determines otherwise, this rule provides that private land outside the national forest
boundary in the Bitterroot Valley, Montana (exclusion area), is an area where any human/grizzly conflicts will be
considered unacceptable. Grizzly bear occupancy will be discouraged in these areas, and grizzly bears will be
captured and returned to the Recovery Area. If a grizzly bear enters the exclusion area, State and Federal wildlife
management agencies will attempt to capture it immediately and notify the public of its presence as soon as
possible. The public will be kept updated until the bear is caught. Further, any grizzly bear that occupies the
exclusion area or other inhabited human settlement areas on private land within the Experimental Population Area
that, in the judgment of the management agencies or Committee, presents a clear threat to human safety or
whose behavior indicates that it may become habituated to humans, will be relocated or destroyed by
management agencies.
(xiii) Establishing standards for determining whether the experimental reintroduction has been successful and
making recommendations on the inclusion of such standards in the Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan. These standards
will be based on the best scientific and commercial information available and will reflect that, absent extraordinary
circumstances, the success or failure of the program cannot be measured in fewer than 20 years. General
guidelines for the standards by which failure will be measured include, but are not limited to, one or more of the
following conditions:
(A) If, within the number of years established by the Committee following initial reintroduction, no relocated grizzly
bear remains within the Experimental Population Area and the reasons for emigration or mortality cannot be
identified and/or remedied; or
(B) If, within the number of years established by the Committee following initial reintroduction, no cubs of the year
or yearlings exist and the relocated bears are not showing signs of successful reproduction as evidenced by no
cubs of the year or yearlings.
(xiv) Developing procedures for the expeditious issuance of permits described in paragraphs (l)(5)(iv) and (l)(5)(v)
of this section, and making recommendations on such procedures to appropriate agencies.
(xv) Developing 2-year work plans for the recovery effort for submittal to the Secretary pursuant to paragraph (l)
(11)(i) of this section.
(xvi) Establishing, based on the best available science, a refined interim recovery goal for the Bitterroot Ecosystem
Chapter of the Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan and a final recovery goal when sufficient information is available and
after grizzly bears are reintroduced and occupy suitable habitats in the Experimental Population Area. As this
information becomes available, the Committee may recommend the recovery goal to the Secretary along with
procedures for determining how this goal will be measured. The recovery goal for the Bitterroot grizzly bear
population will be consistent with the habitat available within the Recovery Area. Additional adjacent areas of
public land can be considered for contribution of suitable habitat when setting the recovery goal if additional land is
shown to be necessary by the best scientific and commercial data available. Any recommendations for revised
recovery goals developed by the Committee will require public review and our approval as appropriate prior to
revision of any recovery plan. Grizzly bears outside the Recovery Area and within the Experimental Population
Area can contribute to meeting the recovery goal if their long-term occupancy in such habitats outside the
Recovery Area is reasonably certain.
(10) What agencies will be responsible for day-to-day management activities? The Idaho Department of Fish and
Game, the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, the Nez Perce Tribe, and the Forest Service, in
coordination with us, will exercise day-to-day management responsibility within the Experimental Population Area
in accordance with this paragaraph (l). The Service and these cooperating agencies will share management
responsibility as per agreements with, and in consideration of, recommendations from the Committee.
(11) How will progress of the Committee be monitored; and what process will be followed by the Secretary to
resolve disputes over whether Committee actions are leading to recovery? (i) The Secretary or our representative
on the Committee will review the Committee's 2-year work plans (see paragraph (l)(9)(xv) of this section). If the
Secretary determines, through our representative on the Committee, that the Committee's decisions, work plans,
or the implementation of those plans are not leading to the recovery of the grizzly bear within the Experimental
Population Area or are not in compliance with this paragraph (l), our representative will ask the Committee to
determine whether such a decision, plan, or implementation of a plan is leading to recovery and is in compliance
with this paragraph (l). The Secretary, who retains final responsibility and authority for implementation of the Act,
will review the Committee's determination, as provided in paragraphs (l)(11)(ii) through (iv) of this section, and then
make a final determination. Should the Secretary find that a decision, work plan, or implementation of a plan by the
Committee is inadequate for recovery of the grizzly bear or is not in compliance with this paragraph (l), the
Secretary may assume lead management responsibility.
(ii) The Service representative will consider Committee input before making any determination that Committee
actions are not leading to recovery or are not in compliance with this paragraph (l). In the event that our
representative on the Committee determines that the actions of the Committee are not leading to recovery of the
Bitterroot grizzly bear population or are not in compliance with this paragraph (l), he or she will recommend to the
Committee, based on the best scientific and commercial data available, alternative or corrective actions and
provide 6 months for the Committee to accomplish those actions. Should the Committee reject these corrective
actions, our representative will convene a Scientific Review Panel of three and will submit to the panel for review
those Committee actions or decisions that he or she has determined are not leading to recovery or are not in
compliance with this paragrpah (l). The Service representative will consider the views of all Committee members
prior to convening a Scientific Review Panel.
(iii) Members of the Scientific Review Panel will be professional scientists who have had no involvement with the
Committee and are not employed by Federal agencies responsible for grizzly bear recovery efforts. The Secretary
will select one member of the panel, and the Governors of Idaho and Montana in consultation with the Universities
of Idaho and Montana (respectively), will select one panel member each. The Scientific Review Panel will review
Committee actions or decisions, solicit additional information if necessary and, using the best scientific and
commercial data available, make timely recommendations to the Committee as to whether Committee actions will
lead to recovery of the grizzly bear in the Bitterroot ecosystem and are in compliance with paragraph (l). Examples
of Committee actions, decisions, or lack of actions that can be submitted to the Scientific Review Panel include,
but are not limited to, the following: sufficiency of public involvement in Committee activities; decisions involving
sanitation and outreach activities; management of nuisance bears; adequacy of recommendations to land and
wildlife management agencies; adequacy of Committee actions in addressing issues such as excessive humancaused grizzly bear mortality; and other actions important to recovery of the grizzly bear in the Bitterroot
ecosystem. Committee compliance with paragraph (l) provides the basis for the recommendations of the Scientific
Review Panel.
(iv) If, after timely review, the Committee rejects the recommendations of the Scientific Review Panel, and our
representative determines that Committee actions are not leading to recovery of the Bitterroot population, he or
she will notify the Secretary. The Secretary will review the Panel's recommendations and determine the disposition
of the Committee.
(A) If the Secretary determines that the Committee should maintain lead management responsibility, the
Committee will continue to operate according to the provisions of this paragraph (l) until the recovery objectives
under paragraph (l)(9)(xvi) of this section or the Bitterroot Ecosystem Chapter of the Recovery Plan have been met
and the Secretary has completed delisting.
(B) If the Secretary decides to assume lead management responsibility, the Secretary will consult with the
Governors of Idaho and Montana regarding that decision and further attempt to resolve the disagreement. If, after
such consultation, the Secretary assumes lead management responsibility, the Secretary will publish a notice in
the Federal Register explaining the rationale for the determination and notify the Governors of Idaho and Montana.
The Committee will disband, and all requirements identified in this paragraph (l) regarding the Committee will be
nullified.
(12) How will the Bitterroot grizzly bear population be monitored? The reintroduced population will be monitored
closely by Federal and State agencies in cooperation with the Committee for the duration of the recovery process,
generally by use of radio telemetry as appropriate.
(13) How will success or failure of the project be evaluated? The status of Bitterroot grizzly bear recovery will be
reevaluated separately by the Committee and by the Secretary at 5-year intervals. This review will take into
account the reproductive success of the grizzly bears released, human-caused mortality, movement patterns of
individual bears, food habits, and overall health of the population and will recommend changes and improvements
in the recovery program. Evaluating these parameters will assist in determining success or failure of the
restoration.
(14) What process will be followed if the Secretary determines the project has failed? (i) If, based on the criteria
established by the Committee, the Secretary, after consultation with the Committee, the Governors of Idaho and
Montana, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and the
Nez Perce Tribe, determines that the reintroduction has failed to produce a self-sustaining population, this
paragraph (l) will not be used to reintroduce additional bears. Any remaining bears will retain their experimental
status.
(ii) Prior to declaring the experimental reintroduction a failure, we will investigate the probable causes of the failure.
If the causes can be determined, and legal and reasonable remedial measures identified and implemented, we will
consider continuing the recovery effort and maintaining the relocated population. If such reasonable measures
cannot be identified and implemented, we will publish the results of our evaluation in the Federal Register in a
proposed rulemaking to terminate the authority for additional experimental grizzly bear reintroductions in the
Bitterroot ecosystem.
(15) Will the legal status of grizzly bears in the Experimental Population Area change? We do not intend to change
the “nonessential experimental” designation to “essential experimental,” “threatened,” or “endangered” and foresee
no likely situation that would result in such changes. Critical habitat cannot be designated under the nonessential
experimental classification, 16 U.S.C. 1539(j)(2)(C)(ii).
(16) What are the definitions of key terms used in the special rule in this paragraph (l)? In addition to terms defined
in §10.12 and 17.3 of this subchapter, the following terms apply to this paragraph (l):
Accommodate means allowing grizzly bears that move outside the Recovery Area onto public land in the
Experimental Population Area to remain undisturbed unless they demonstrate a real and imminent threat to human
safety or livestock.
Citizen Management Committee (Committee) means that Committee described in paragraph (l)(6) of this section.
Current range means the area inside or within 10 miles of the recovery zone line of currently occupied grizzly bear
recovery zones or any area where there is a grizzly bear population, as defined in this paragraph (l)(16).
Exclusion area (Bitterroot Valley) means those private lands in Montana lying within the Bitterroot Experimental
Population Area in the Bitterroot Valley outside the Bitterroot National Forest boundary south of U.S. Highway 12
to Lost Trail Pass and west of Highway 93.
Experimental Population Area (Bitterroot Grizzly Bear Experimental Population Area) means that area delineated
in paragraph (l)(1) of this section within which management plans developed as part of the Committee described in
paragraph (l)(9) of this section will be in effect. This area includes the Recovery Area. The Experimental
Population Area is within the historic range of the grizzly bear, but geographically separate from the current range
of the grizzly bear.
Geographically separate means separated by more than 10 miles. The term refers to “wholly separate
geographically” in section 10(j)(2) of the Act. The Experimental Population Area and the recovery zone boundary
of any existing grizzly bear population must be geographically separate.
Grizzly bear population is defined by verified evidence within the previous 6 years which consists of photos within
the area, verified tracks, or sightings by reputable scientists or agency personnel of at least two different female
grizzly bears with young or one female with different litters in 2 different years in an area geographically separate
from other grizzly bear populations. Verifiable evidence of females with young, to be geographically separate,
would have to occur greater than 10 miles from the nearest nonexperimental grizzly bear population recovery zone
boundary.
Opportunistic, noninjurious harassment means harassment (see definition of “harass” in §17.3) that occurs when
the grizzly bear presents itself (for example, the bear travels onto and is observed on private land or near
livestock). This paragraph (l) permits only this type of harassment. You cannot track, attract, search out, or chase a
grizzly bear and then harass it. Any harassment must not cause bodily injury or death to the grizzly bear. The
intent of harassment permitted by this definition is to scare bears away from the immediate area.
Recovery Area (Bitterroot Grizzly Bear Recovery Area) means the area of recovery emphasis within the
Experimental Population Area, and is delineated in paragraph (l)(2) of this section. This area consists of the
Selway-Bitterroot and Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness areas. The Recovery Area is within the historic
range of the species.
Recovery emphasis means grizzly bear management decisions in the Recovery Area will favor bear recovery so
that this area can serve as core habitat for survival, reproduction, and dispersal of the recovering population.
Reintroduction of grizzly bears is planned to occur within the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness portion of the Recovery
Area unless it is later determined that reintroduction in the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness is
appropriate.
Unavoidable and unintentional take means accidental, unintentional take (see definition of take in §10.12 of this
subchapter) that occurs despite reasonable care, is incidental to an otherwise lawful activity, and is not done on
purpose. An example would be striking a grizzly bear with an automobile. Taking a grizzly bear by shooting will not
be considered unavoidable and unintentional take. Shooters have the responsibility to be sure of their targets.

(m) Spotfin chub (=turquoise shiner) (Erimonax monachus)—(1) Where is the spotfin chub designated as a
nonessential experimental population (NEP)? We have designated three populations of this species as NEPs: the
Tellico River NEP, the Shoal Creek NEP, and the French Broad River and Holston River NEP. This species is not
currently known to exist in the Tellico River or its tributaries, the Shoal Creek or its tributaries, or any of the
tributaries to the free-flowing reaches of the French Broad River below Douglas Dam, Knox and Sevier Counties,
Tennessee, or of the Holston River below the Cherokee Dam, Knox, Grainger, and Jefferson Counties, Tennessee.
Based on its habitat requirements, we do not expect this species to become established outside the NEP areas.
However, if individuals move upstream or downstream or into tributaries outside any of the designated NEP areas,
we would presume that those individuals came from the closest reintroduced population. We would then amend
this regulation and enlarge the boundaries of the NEP area to include the entire range of the expanded population.
(i) The Tellico River NEP area is within the species' probable historic range and is defined as follows: The Tellico
River, between the backwaters of the Tellico Reservoir (approximately Tellico River mile 19 (30.4 kilometers (km))
and Tellico River mile 33 (52.8 km), near the Tellico Ranger Station, Monroe County, Tennessee.
(ii) The Shoal Creek NEP area is within the species' historic range and is defined as follows: Shoal Creek (from
Shoal Creek mile 41.7 (66.7 km)) at the mouth of Long Branch, Lawrence County, TN, downstream to the

(n) [Reserved]
(o) Boulder darter (Etheostoma wapiti). (1) Where is the boulder darter designated as a nonessential experimental
population (NEP)? (i) The NEP area for the boulder darter is within the species' historic range and is defined as
follows: Shoal Creek (from Shoal Creek mile 41.7 (66.7 km)) at the mouth of Long Branch, Lawrence County, TN,
downstream to the backwaters of Wilson Reservoir (Shoal Creek mile 14 (22 km)) at Goose Shoals, Lauderdale
County, AL, including the lower 5 miles (8 km) of all tributaries that enter this reach.
(ii) The boulder darter is not currently known to exist in Shoal Creek or its tributaries. Based on the habitat
requirements of this fish, we do not expect it to become established outside the NEP area. However, if any
individuals of the species move upstream or downstream or into tributaries outside the designated NEP area, we
would presume that they came from the reintroduced population. We would then amend this rule through our
normal rulemaking process in order to enlarge the boundaries of the NEP area to include the entire range of the
expanded population.
(iii) We do not intend to change the NEP designations to “essential experimental,” “threatened,” or “endangered”
within the NEP area. Additionally, we will not designate critical habitat for these NEPs, as provided by 16 U.S.C.
1539(j)(2)(C)(ii).
(2) What activities are not allowed in the NEP area? (i) Except as expressly allowed in paragraph (o)(3) of this
section, all the provisions of §17.31(a) and (b) apply to the boulder darter.

refer unauthorized take of these species to the appropriate authorities for prosecution.
(iii) You may not possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means whatsoever any of the
identified fishes, or parts thereof, that are taken or possessed in violation of paragraph (o)(2) of this section or in
violation of the applicable State fish and wildlife laws or regulations or the Act.
(iv) You may not attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed any offense defined in
paragraph (o)(2) of this section.
(3) What take is allowed in the NEP area? Take of this species that is accidental and incidental to an otherwise
legal activity, such as recreation (e.g., fishing, boating, wading, trapping, or swimming), forestry, agriculture, and
other activities that are in accordance with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations, is allowed.
(4) How will the effectiveness of these reintroductions be monitored? After the initial stocking of fish, we will
monitor annually their presence or absence and document any spawning behavior or young-of-the-year fish that
might be present. This monitoring will be conducted primarily by snorkeling or seining and will be accomplished by
contracting with the appropriate species experts. We will produce annual reports detailing the stocking rates and
monitoring activities that took place during the previous year. We will also fully evaluate these reintroduction efforts
after 5 and 10 years to determine whether to continue or terminate the reintroduction efforts.

(p) Northern aplomado falcon (Falco femoralis septentrionalis). (1) The northern aplomado falcon (Falco femoralis
septentrionalis) (falcon) population identified in paragraph (p)(9)(i) of this section is a nonessential experimental
population (NEP).
(2) No person may take this species, except as provided in paragraphs (p)(3) through (5) and (p)(10) of this
section.
(3) Any person with a valid permit issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under §17.32 may take
falcons for educational purposes, scientific purposes, the enhancement of propagation or survival of the species,
zoological exhibition, and other conservation purposes consistent with the Endangered Species Act (Act);
(4) A falcon may be taken within the NEP area, provided that such take is not willful, knowing, or due to
negligence, or is incidental to and not the purpose of the carrying out of an otherwise lawful activity; and that such
taking is reported within 24 hours, as provided under paragraph (p)(6) of this section.
(5) Any employee of the Service, New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, or Arizona Game and Fish
Department, who is designated for such purpose, or any person with a valid permit issued by the Service under 50
CFR 17.32, may, when acting in the course of official duties, take a falcon if such action is necessary to:
(i) Aid a sick, injured, or orphaned specimen;
(ii) Dispose of a dead specimen, or salvage a dead specimen that may be useful for scientific study;
(iii) Move a bird within the NEP area for genetic purposes or to improve the health of the population;
(iv) Relocate falcons that have moved outside the NEP area, by returning the falcon to the NEP area or moving it
to a captive breeding facility. All captures and relocations from outside the NEP area will be conducted with the
permission of the landowner(s) or appropriate land management agencies; or
(v) Collect nesting data or band individuals.
(6) Any taking pursuant to paragraphs (p)(3) through (5) of this section must be reported within 24 hours by
contacting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, New Mexico Ecological Services Field Office, 2105 Osuna NE,
Albuquerque, NM 87113; (505) 346-2525. Upon contact, a determination will be made as to the disposition of any
live or dead specimens.

such species taken in violation of these regulations.
(8) It is unlawful for any person to attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed, any
offense defined in paragraphs (p)(2) and (p)(7) of this section.
(9)(i) The boundaries of the designated NEP area are based on county borders and include the entire States of
New Mexico and Arizona. The reintroduction area is within the historical range of the species in New Mexico.
(ii) All falcons found in the wild within the boundaries of the NEP area after the first releases will be considered
members of the NEP. A falcon occurring outside of the NEP area is considered endangered under the Act unless it
is marked or otherwise known to be a member of the NEP.
(iii) The Service has designated the NEP area to accommodate the potential future movements of a wild
population of falcons. All released birds and their progeny are expected to remain in the NEP area due to the
geographic extent of the designation.
(10) The NEP will be monitored closely for the duration of the reintroduction program. Any bird that is determined
to be sick, injured, or otherwise in need of special care will be recaptured to the extent possible by Service and/or
State or permitted Tribal wildlife personnel and given appropriate care. Such birds will be released back to the wild
as soon as possible, unless physical or behavioral problems make it necessary to return them to a captivebreeding facility or they are euthanized if treatment would be unlikely to be effective.
(11) The Service plans to evaluate the status of the NEP every 5 years to determine future management status
and needs, with the first evaluation expected to be not more than 5 years after the first release of birds into the
NEP area. All reviews will take into account the reproductive success and movement patterns of individuals
released, food habits, and overall health of the population. This evaluation will include a progress report.
(q) Duskytail darter (Etheostoma percnurum). (1) Where is the duskytail darter designated as a nonessential

River or its tributaries or in any of the tributaries to the free-flowing reaches of the French Broad River below
Douglas Dam, Knox and Sevier Counties, Tennessee, or of the Holston River below the Cherokee Dam, Knox,
Grainger, and Jefferson Counties, Tennessee. Based on its habitat requirements, we do not expect this species to
become established outside these NEP areas. However, if individuals move upstream or downstream or into
tributaries outside either of the designated NEP areas, we would presume that these individuals came from the
reintroduced population. We would then amend this rule and enlarge the boundaries of the NEP area to include
the entire range of the expanded population.
(i) The Tellico River NEP area is within the species' historic range and is defined as follows: The Tellico River,
between the backwaters of the Tellico Reservoir (approximately Tellico River mile 19 (30.4 kilometers) and Tellico
River mile 33 (52.8 kilometers), near the Tellico Ranger Station, Monroe County, Tennessee.

calling the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Arizona Ecological Services Office, 201 N Bonita Avenue, Suite 141,
Tucson, AZ 85745 (520/670-6150), or the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, 1611 North Second Avenue,
Ajo, AZ 85321 (520/387-6483). Upon contact, a determination will be made as to the disposition of any live or
dead specimens.
(7) No person may possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means whatsoever, any
Sonoran pronghorn or Sonoran pronghorn parts taken in violation of these regulations.
(8) It is unlawful for any person to attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed, any
offense defined in paragraphs (v)(2) and (7) of this section.
(9) The boundaries of the designated NEP area are based on the maximum estimated range of pronghorn that are
released in and become established within the NEP area. These boundaries are physical barriers to movements,
including major freeways and highways, and the Colorado River. All release sites will be within the NEP area.
(i) All Sonoran pronghorn found in the wild within the boundaries of the NEP area will be considered members of
the NEP. Any Sonoran pronghorn occurring outside of the NEP area are considered endangered under the Act.
(ii) The Service has designated the NEP area to accommodate the potential future movements of wild Sonoran
pronghorn. All released Sonoran pronghorn and their progeny are expected to remain in the NEP area due to the
geographical extent of the designation and substantial barriers to movement that form the boundaries of the NEP.
(10) The NEP will be monitored closely for the duration of the program. Any pronghorn that is determined to be
sick, injured, or otherwise in need of special care will be recaptured to the extent possible by Service and/or State
or Tribal wildlife personnel or their designated agent and given appropriate care. Such pronghorn will be released
back to the wild as soon as possible, unless physical or behavioral problems make it necessary to return them to a
captive-breeding facility.
(11) The Service plans to evaluate the status of the NEP every 5 years to determine future management status
and needs, with the first evaluation occurring not more than 5 years after the first release of pronghorn into the
NEP area. All reviews will take into account the reproductive success and movement patterns of individuals
released, food habits, and overall health of the population. This evaluation will include a progress report.
(12) The areas covered by this proposed nonessential experimental population designation are in Arizona. They
include the area north of Interstate 8 and south of Interstate 10, bounded by the Colorado River on the west and
Interstate 10 on the east, and an area south of Interstate 8, bounded by Highway 85 on the west, Interstates 10
and 19 on the east, and the U.S.-Mexico border on the south.

(w) Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus)—(1) Where are populations of this fish designated as nonessential
experimental populations (NEPs)?
(i) The NEP area for the bull trout is within the species' historical range and is defined as follows: the entire
Clackamas River subbasin as well as the mainstem Willamette River, from Willamette Falls to its points of
confluence with the Columbia River, including Multnomah Channel.
(ii) Bull trout are not currently known to exist in the Clackamas River subbasin or the mainstem Willamette River,
from Willamette Falls to its points of confluence with the Columbia River, including Multnomah Channel, in Oregon.
Should any bull trout be found in the Willamette River within the NEP boundary, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service) will assume the fish to be part of the reintroduced population, unless the fish is tagged or otherwise
known to be from another population. Given the presence of suitable overwintering and forage habitat in the upper
portion of the Clackamas River, as well as the geographic distance from spawning and rearing habitat in the upper
Clackamas River to any overwintering and foraging habitat in the lower Clackamas and Willamette Rivers, we do
not expect the reintroduced fish to become established outside the NEP. Bull trout found outside of the NEP
boundary, but known to be part of the NEP, will assume the status of bull trout within the geographic area in which
they are found.
(iii) We do not intend to change the NEP designation to “essential experimental,” “threatened,” or “endangered”
within the NEP area. Additionally, we will not designate critical habitat for the NEP, as provided by 16 U.S.C.
1539(j)(2)(C)(ii).
(2) What take is allowed of this species in the NEP area? (i) Bull trout may be taken within the NEP area, provided
that such take is:
(A) Not willful, knowing, or due to negligence.
(B) Incidental to and not the purpose of carrying out an otherwise lawful activity, such as recreation (e.g., fishing,
boating, wading, trapping, or swimming), agriculture, hydroelectric power generation, and other activities that are
in accordance with Federal, State, Tribal, and local laws and regulations.
(C) Consistent with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) fishing regulations that have been
coordinated with the Service, if due to fishing.
(D) Incidental to any activities related to or associated with the operation and maintenance of the Clackamas River
Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 2195) by Portland General Electric (PGE) as administered under a
license issued by FERC. Acceptable forms of taking of bull trout include, but are not limited to, mortality, stranding,
injury, impingement and entrainment at project facilities, or delay in up- or downstream passage associated with or
caused by any of the following activities. Activities related to the operation and maintenance of Project 2195
include, but are not limited to:
(1) Hydroelectric generation at any project facility;
(2) Maintenance of project facilities;
(3) Provision of upstream and downstream fish passage, whether through fish passage facilities, powerhouses,
bypass facilities, bypass reaches, or spillways;
(4) Fish handling at fish separation and counting facilities;
(5) Fish removal from fish passage facilities and areas critical to downstream migrant passage testing at the time
of testing (Bull trout removed for this testing do not need to be returned to the Clackamas River subbasin.);
(6) Fish conservation activities;
(7) Fish handling, tagging, and sampling in connection with FERC-approved studies; and
(8) Approved resource protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures.
(E) Consistent with the adaptive management process identified for this project including:
(1) The targeted relocation or possible removal of bull trout by the Service or our project partners, if bull trout are
documented staging at the entrance to, within, or below, juvenile fish passage facilities within the Clackamas
Hydroelectric Project; and
(2) Discontinuation of the reintroduction project and complete removal of bull trout from the Clackamas River if the
Service determines, in consultation and coordination with the State of Oregon, NMFS, and other project partners,
and based on project monitoring and evaluation, that the reintroduction efforts cannot be carried out in a manner
consistent with the recovery of threatened salmon and steelhead.
(ii) Any person with a valid permit issued by the Service under §17.32 and a valid State permit issued by ODFW
may take bull trout for educational purposes, scientific purposes, the enhancement of propagation or survival of
the species, zoological exhibition, and other conservation purposes consistent with the Act.
(3) What take of this species is not allowed in the NEP area? (i) Except as expressly allowed in paragraph (w)(2)
of this section, all the provisions of §17.31(a) and (b) apply to the fish identified in paragraph (w)(1) of this section.
(ii) Any manner of take not described under paragraph (w)(2) of this section or Oregon Revised Statute (ORS)
498.002 and Oregon Angling Regulations pursuant to ORS 498.002 is prohibited in the NEP area. Should State
statutes or regulations change, take prohibitions will change accordingly. Any changes to State recreational fishing
regulations pertaining to the experimental population of bull trout in the Clackamas River subbasin will be made by
the State in collaboration with the Service. We may refer unauthorized take of this species to ODFW law
enforcement authorities or Service law enforcement authorities for prosecution.
(iii) A person may not possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means whatsoever any
of the identified fishes, or parts thereof, that are taken or possessed in a manner not expressly allowed in
paragraph (w)(2) of this section, or in violation of the applicable State fish and wildlife laws or regulations or the
Act.
(iv) A person may not attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed any offense except
the take expressly allowed in paragraph (w)(2) of this section.
(4) How will the effectiveness of the reestablishment be monitored? (i) Effectiveness monitoring of the project will
be conducted jointly by the Service and ODFW, with assistance from the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and PGE.
(ii) We will monitor the effectiveness of the reintroduction during phase 1 of the project (2011-2017) by annually
assessing: Distribution and movement, relative survival of translocated bull trout via presence and absence
surveys, occurrence of spawning and reproduction, and genetic health, as measured against the donor population.
These monitoring objectives will be accomplished by methodologies that include Passive Integrated Transponder
(PIT) tagging of all fish translocated to the Clackamas River, radio tagging of the adult and subadult life stages,
snorkel surveys, redd surveys, and minnow trapping.
(iii) If successful reproduction of reintroduced bull trout is detected, we will incorporate monitoring to assess the
distribution, movement, growth, and survival of the initial cohorts of naturally produced bull trout.
(iv) Monitoring activities in phase 2 (2018-2024) and phase 3 (2025-2030) will be informed by phase 1 monitoring
and evaluation.
(v) Annual reports that summarize the implementation and monitoring activities that occurred the previous year will
be collaboratively developed by the Service, ODFW, and USFS.
(vi) We will evaluate the implementation strategy annually, and we will evaluate the reestablishment effort at the
completion of phase 1 to determine whether to continue translocation of bull trout in phase 2.
(5) What safeguards are in place to ensure the protection of Federally listed salmon and steelhead in the NEP
area? (i) In consultation and coordination with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and other project
partners, we have developed a plan to facilitate management decisions associated with potential impacts from the
bull trout reintroduction on listed anadromous salmonids. If specific bull trout and/or anadromous salmonid
thresholds are triggered, we will follow the planned management actions to minimize impacts to salmon and
steelhead from the reintroduction of bull trout in the Clackamas River.
(ii) Our management actions implemented and the frequency of those actions, will be informed by:
(A) The reintroduction project's monitoring and evaluation program, jointly implemented by the Service, ODFW,
and USFS; and
(B) The conservation status of the listed Clackamas River anadromous salmonid populations.
(iii) Because we cannot predict all likely impact scenarios and appropriate management responses, we will modify
our plan as necessary, in consultation and coordination with NMFS, ODFW, and other project partners, consistent
with the overall adaptive management of the project.
(iv) Although our analysis indicates a low likelihood for population-level impacts to Federally listed salmon and
steelhead populations, if the Service determines, in consultation and coordination with the State of Oregon, NMFS,
and other project partners, and based on project monitoring and evaluation, that the reintroduction efforts are not
consistent with the recovery of salmon or steelhead, the reintroduction program will be discontinued and bull trout
will be removed from the experimental population area.
(v) Prior to releasing bull trout into the Clackamas River, the Service will complete any required interagency
cooperation with NMFS pursuant to section 7(a)(2) of the Act.

(x) Wood bison (Bison bison athabascae). (1) Wood bison within the area identified in paragraph (x)(2)(i) of this
section are members of a nonessential experimental population (NEP) and will be managed primarily by the State
of Alaska (State), through its Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), in cooperation with the Service, in
accordance with this rule and the respective management plans.
(2) Where are wood bison in Alaska designated as an NEP?
(i) The boundaries of the NEP area encompass the Yukon, Tanana, and Kuskokwim River drainages in Alaska
(Figure 1). The NEP area includes much of the wood bison's historical range in Alaska, and the release sites are
within the species' historical range. The NEP area is defined as follows: the Yukon River drainage from the United
States-Canada border downstream to its mouth; the Tanana River drainage from the United States-Canada border
downstream to its confluence with the Yukon River; and the Kuskokwim River drainage from its headwaters
downstream to its mouth at the Bering Sea.

(ii) Any wood bison found within the Alaska wood bison NEP area will be considered part of the NEP. The bison
will be managed by the State to prevent establishment of any population outside the NEP area.
(3) Under what circumstances might an Alaska wood bison NEP be eliminated?
(i) We do not anticipate eliminating all individuals within an Alaska wood bison NEP unless:
(A) The State deems the reintroduction efforts a failure or most members of reintroduced populations have
disappeared for any reason;
(B) Monitoring of wood bison in Alaska indicates appreciable harm to other native wildlife, such as the introduction
of disease or other unanticipated environmental consequences associated with their presence; or
(C) Legal or statutory changes reduce or eliminate the State's ability to complete the restoration effort as designed
and intended in its management plans, with the management flexibility and protection of other land uses (including
other resource development) provided in this NEP designation.
(ii) If any of the circumstances listed in paragraph (x)(3)(i) of this section occur, some or all wood bison may be
removed from the wild in Alaska by any method deemed practicable by the State, including lethal removal. If the
reintroduction of wood bison under this nonessential experimental designation is discontinued for any reason and
no action is taken by the Service and the State to change the designation, all remaining wood bison in Alaska will
retain their NEP status.
(4) Which agency is the management lead for wood bison in Alaska? The Alaska Department of Fish and Game
will have primary responsibility for leading and implementing the wood bison restoration effort, in cooperation with
the Service, and will keep the Service apprised of the status of the effort on an ongoing basis. The Service will
retain responsibility for ensuring compliance with all provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), including compliance with section 7 for actions occurring on National
Wildlife Refuge and National Park Service lands.
(5) What take of wood bison is allowed in the NEP area? In the following instances, wood bison may be taken in
accordance with applicable State fish and wildlife conservation laws and regulations:
(i) Hunting will be an allowed take based on sustained yield principles as established by ADF&G.
(ii) A wood bison may be taken within the NEP area, provided that such take is not willful, knowing, or due to
negligence, or is incidental to and not the purpose of the carrying out of an otherwise lawful activity, including but
not limited to recreation (e.g., trapping, hiking, camping, or shooting activities); forestry; agriculture; oil and gas
exploration and development and associated activities; construction and maintenance of roads or railroads,
buildings, facilities, energy projects, pipelines, and transmission lines of any kind; mining; mineral exploration;
travel by any means, including vehicles, watercraft, snow machines, or aircraft; tourism; and other activities that
are in accordance with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations and specific authorizations. Such conduct is
not considered intentional or “knowing take” for purposes of this regulation, and neither the Service nor the State
will take legal action for such conduct. Any cases of “knowing take” will be referred to the appropriate authorities
for prosecution.
(iii) Any person with a valid permit issued by the Service under 50 CFR 17.32 or by ADF&G may take wood bison
for educational purposes, scientific purposes, the enhancement of propagation or survival of the species,
zoological exhibition, and other conservation purposes consistent with the ESA. Additionally, any employee or
agent of the Service or ADF&G designated for such purposes, acting in the course of official duties, may take a
wood bison if such action is necessary:
(A) For scientific purposes;
(B) To relocate a wood bison to avoid conflict with human activities;
(C) To relocate a wood bison if necessary to protect the wood bison;
(D) To relocate wood bison within the NEP area to improve wood bison survival and recovery prospects or for
genetic purposes;
(E) To relocate wood bison from one population in the NEP area into another, or into captivity;
(F) To relocate wood bison that have moved outside the NEP area back into the NEP area or remove them;
(G) To aid or euthanize a sick, injured, or orphaned wood bison;
(H) To dispose of a dead wood bison, or salvage a dead wood bison for scientific purposes; or
(I) To aid in law enforcement investigations involving wood bison.
(iv) Any person may take a wood bison in defense of the individual's life or the life of another person. The Service,
the State, or our designated agent(s) may also promptly remove any wood bison that the Service, the State, or our
designated agent(s) determine to be a threat to human life or safety. Any such taking must be reported within 24
hours to the location identified in paragraph (x)(5)(vi) of this section.
(v) In connection with otherwise lawful activities, including but not limited to the use and development of land,
provided at paragraph (x)(5)(ii) of this section, the Federal Government, the State, municipalities of the State, other
local governments, Native American Tribal Governments, and all landowners and their employees or authorized
agents, tenants, or designees may harass wood bison in the areas defined in paragraph (x)(2)(i) of this section,
provided that all such harassment is by methods that are not lethal or physically injurious to wood bison and is
reported within 24 hours to the location identified in paragraph (x)(5)(vi) of this section.
(vi) Any taking pursuant to paragraph (x)(5)(ii) of this section must be reported within 14 days by contacting the
Alaska Department of Fish and Game, 1300 College Road, Fairbanks, AK 99701; (907) 459-7206. ADF&G will
determine the most appropriate course of action regarding any live or dead specimens.
(6) What take of wood bison is not allowed in the NEP area?
(i) Except as expressly allowed in paragraph (x)(5) of this section, all the provisions of 50 CFR 17.31(a) and (b)
apply to the wood bison identified in paragraph (x)(1) of this section.
(ii) Any manner of take not described under paragraph (x)(5) of this section is prohibited in the NEP area.
(iii) A person may not possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means whatsoever any
of the identified wood bison, or parts thereof, that are taken or possessed in a manner not expressly allowed in
paragraph (x)(5) of this section or in violation of the applicable State or local fish and wildlife laws or regulations or
the ESA.
(iv) A person may not attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed any take of wood
bison, except that take expressly allowed in paragraph (x)(5) of this section.
(7) How will the effectiveness of the wood bison reintroduction be monitored? ADF&G will monitor the population
status of reintroduced bison herds at least annually and will document productivity, survival, and population size.
The Service or other Federal agencies may also be involved in population monitoring, particularly where National
Wildlife Refuge System or Bureau of Land Management lands are involved. Tribal governments or other
organizations may also participate in population monitoring and other management activities. Depending on
available resources, monitoring may occur more frequently, especially during the first few years of reestablishment
efforts. This monitoring will be conducted primarily through aerial surveys and will be accomplished by State or
Service employees, through cooperative efforts with local governments, or by contracting with other appropriate
species experts.
(8) What other provisions apply to this special rule?
If any particular provision of this rule or the application of any particular provision to any entity or circumstance is
held invalid, the remainder of this finding and rule and the application of such provisions to other entities or
circumstances shall not be affected by such holding.

(1) Where are these mollusks designated as nonessential experimental populations (NEPs)? (i) The NEP Area for
these 17 mollusks is within the species' historic ranges, and is defined as follows: The free-flowing reach of the
Tennessee River from the base of Wilson Dam downstream to the backwaters of Pickwick Reservoir (river mile
(RM) 259.4 [414.0 km] to RM 246.0 [393.6 km] and includes the lower 5 RM (8 km) of all tributaries to this reach in
Colbert and Lauderdale Counties, Alabama.
(ii) None of the identified species are known to exist in any of the tributaries to the free-flowing reach of the
Tennessee River below Wilson Dam or from below the backwaters of Pickwick Reservoir, Colbert and Lauderdale
Counties, Alabama. In the future, if any of the 17 mollusks are found upstream of the lower 5 RM (8 km) of these
tributaries or downstream into Pickwick Reservoir, we will presume the animals came from the reintroduced NEP,
and we will amend this rule and enlarge the boundaries of the NEP Area to include the entire range of the
expanded population.
(iii) We do not intend to change the NEP designations to “essential experimental,” “threatened,” or “endangered”
within the NEP Area. Additionally, we will not designate critical habitat for these NEPs, as provided by 16 U.S.C.
1539(j)(2)(C)(ii).
(2) What activities are not allowed in the NEP Area? (i) Except as expressly allowed in this rule, all the prohibitions
of 17.31(a) and (b) apply to the mollusks identified in this special rule.
(ii) Any manner of take not described under paragraph (a)(3) of this section will not be allowed in the NEP Area.
We may refer the unauthorized take of these species to the appropriate authorities for prosecution.
(iii) You may not possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means whatsoever any of the
identified 17 mollusks, or parts thereof, that are taken or possessed in violation of these regulations or in violation
of the applicable State fish and wildlife laws or regulations or the Act.
(iv) You may not attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed any offense defined in this
paragraph (a).
(3) What take is allowed in the NEP Area? (i) Take of these species that is accidental and incidental to an
otherwise lawful activity such as fishing, boating, commercial navigation, trapping, wading, or mussel harvesting, is
allowed.
(ii) Any individual collecting or harvesting mussels must check their collection prior to leaving the immediate area
and return any NEP mussels to the site where they were obtained.
(4) How will the effectiveness of these reintroductions be monitored? We will prepare periodic progress reports and
fully evaluate these reintroduction efforts after 5 and 10 years to determine whether to continue or terminate the
reintroduction efforts.

(1) Where are these mollusks designated as NEPs? (i) The NEP area for these mollusks is within the species'
historical range and is defined as follows: The French Broad River, Knox and Sevier Counties, Tennessee, from
the base of Douglas Dam (river mile (RM) 32.3 (51.7 kilometers (km)) downstream to the confluence with the
Holston River; then up the Holston River, Knox, Grainger, and Jefferson Counties, Tennessee, to the base of
Cherokee Dam (RM 52.3 (83.7 km)); and the lower 5 RM (8 km) of all tributaries that enter these river reaches.
None of the species identified in paragraph (b) are known to exist in any of the tributaries to the free-flowing
reaches of the French Broad River below Douglas Dam, Knox and Sevier Counties, Tennessee, or of the Holston
River below the Cherokee Dam, Knox, Grainger, and Jefferson Counties, Tennessee. Based on their habitat
requirements, we do not expect these species to become established outside this NEP area. However, if any
individuals are found upstream or downstream or into tributaries outside the designated NEP area, we would
presume that they came from the reintroduced populations. We would then amend paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this
section to enlarge the boundaries of the NEP area to include the entire range of the expanded population.
(ii) Another NEP area for 10 of these mollusks (Cumberland bean, Cumberlandian combshell, Cumberland
monkeyface, oyster mussel, birdwing pearlymussel, cracking pearlymussel, dromedary pearlymussel, fine-rayed
pigtoe, shiny pigtoe, and Anthony's riversnail) is provided in paragraph (a) of this section.
(iii) We do not intend to change the NEP designations to “essential experimental,” “threatened,” or “endangered”
within the NEP area. Additionally, we will not designate critical habitat for these NEPs, as provided by 16 U.S.C.
1539(j)(2)(C)(ii).
(2) What activities are not allowed in the NEP area? (i) Except as expressly allowed in paragraph (b)(3) of this
section, all the prohibitions of §17.31(a) and (b) apply to the mollusks identified in paragraph (b) of this section.
(ii) Any manner of take not described under paragraph (b)(3) of this section will not be allowed in the NEP area.
We may refer the unauthorized take of these species to the appropriate authorities for prosecution.
(iii) You may not possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means whatsoever any of the
identified mollusks, or parts thereof, that are taken or possessed in violation of paragraph (b)(2) of this section or in
violation of the applicable State fish and wildlife laws or regulations or the Act.
(iv) You may not attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed any offense defined in
paragraph (b)(2) of this section.
(3) What take is allowed in the NEP area? Take of these species that is accidental and incidental to an otherwise
legal activity, such as recreation (e.g., fishing, boating, wading, trapping, or swimming), forestry, agriculture, and
other activities that are in accordance with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations, is allowed.
(4) How will the effectiveness of these reintroductions be monitored? We will prepare periodic progress reports and
fully evaluate these reintroduction efforts after 5 and 10 years to determine whether to continue or terminate the
reintroduction efforts.

(c) American Burying Beetle (Nicrophorus americanus).
(1) Where is the American burying beetle designated as a nonessential experimental population (NEP)? (i) The
NEP area for the American burying beetle is within the species' historical range and is defined as follows: The
Missouri Counties of Cedar, St. Clair, Bates, and Vernon.
(ii) The American burying beetle is not known to exist in Cedar, St. Clair, Bates, or Vernon Counties in Missouri, as
of the date of enacting this regulation. Based on its habitat requirements and movement patterns, we do not
expect this species to become established outside this NEP area.
(2) What activities are not allowed in the NEP area? (i) You may not possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship,
import, or export by any means, American burying beetles, or parts thereof, that are taken or possessed in
violation of paragraph (c)(3) of this section or in violation of applicable State fish and wildlife laws or regulations or
the Act.
(ii) You may not attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed any offense defined in
paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this section.
(3) What take is allowed in the NEP area? Take of this species that is accidental and incidental to an otherwise
legal activity, such as agriculture, forestry and wildlife management, land development, recreation, and other
activities, is allowed.
(4) How will the effectiveness of these reintroductions be monitored? We will prepare periodic progress reports and
fully evaluate these reintroduction efforts after 5 years to determine whether to continue or terminate the
reintroduction efforts.

(d) Oregon Silverspot Butterfly (Speyeria zerene hippolyta).
(1) Where is the Oregon silverspot butterfly designated as a nonessential experimental population (NEP)? (i) The
NEP areas for the Oregon silverspot butterfly are within the subspecies' historical range in Tillamook and Clatsop
Counties, Oregon. The boundary of the NEP includes those Public Land Survey System sections intersecting with
a 4.25-mile (6.8-kilometer) radius around the release locations. This boundary was selected to encompass all
likely movements of Oregon silverspot butterflies away from the release areas while maintaining geographic
separation from existing populations.
(A) The Nestucca Bay NEP area, centered on the coastal prairie habitat on the Cannery Hill Unit of the Nestucca
Bay National Wildlife Refuge (Nestucca Bay NEP area), includes Township 4 South, Range 10 West, Sections 15
through 36; Township 4 South, Range 11 West, Sections 13, 24, 25, and 36; Township 5 South, Range 10 West,
Sections 2 through 11, 14 through 23, 27 through 30; and Township 5 South, Range 11 West, Sections 12, 13, 24,
and 25.
(B) The Saddle Mountain NEP area, centered on the coastal prairie habitat on top of Saddle Mountain State
Natural Area (Saddle Mountain NEP area), includes Township 6 North, Range 7 West, Sections 7, 17 through 20,
29 through 32; Township 6 North, Range 8 West, Sections 1 through 36; Township 6 North, Range 9 West,
Sections 1, 11 through 14, 23 through 26, 35, and 36; Township 5 North, Range 7 West, Sections 5 through 8, 17,
18, and 19; Township 5 North, Range 8 West, Sections 1 through 24; and Township 5 North, Range 9 West,
Sections 1, 2, 3, 11, 12, 13, and 14.
(ii) The nearest known extant population to the Nestucca Bay NEP area is 8 miles (13 kilometers) to the south,
beyond the longest known flight distance of the butterfly (4.1 miles (6.6 kilometers)) and with little or no suitable
habitat between them. The nearest known extant population to the Saddle Mountain NEP area is 50 miles (80
kilometers) to the south, well beyond the longest known flight distance of the butterfly (4.1 miles (6.6 kilometers)).
Given its habitat requirements, movement patterns, and distance from extant populations, the NEP is wholly
separate from extant populations, and we do not expect the reintroduced Oregon silverspot butterflies to become
established outside the NEP areas. Oregon silverspot butterflies outside of the NEP boundaries will assume the
status of Oregon silverspot butterflies within the geographic area in which they are found.
(iii) We will not change the NEP designations to “essential experimental,” “threatened,” or “endangered” within the
NEP areas without engaging in notice-and-comment rulemaking. Additionally, we will not designate critical habitat
for this NEP, as provided by 16 U.S.C. 1539(j)(2)(C)(ii).
(2) What take of the Oregon silverspot butterfly is allowed in the NEP areas? (i) Oregon silverspot butterflies may
be taken within the NEP area, provided that such take is not willful, knowing, or due to negligence, and is
incidental to carrying out an otherwise lawful activity, such as agriculture, forestry and wildlife management, land
development, recreation, and other activities that are in accordance with Federal, State, Tribal, and local laws and
regulations.
(ii) Any person with a valid permit issued by the Service under 50 CFR 17.32 may take the Oregon silverspot
butterfly for educational purposes, scientific purposes, the enhancement of propagation or survival of the species,
zoological exhibition, and other conservation purposes consistent with the Act. Additionally, any employee or agent
of the Service, any other Federal land management agency, or a State conservation agency, who is designated by
the agency for such purposes, may, when acting in the course of official duties, take an Oregon silverspot butterfly
in the wild in the NEP area if such action is necessary:
(A) For scientific purposes;
(B) To relocate Oregon silverspot butterflies to avoid conflict with human activities;
(C) To relocate Oregon silverspot butterflies within the NEP area to improve Oregon silverspot butterfly survival
and recovery prospects or for genetic purposes;
(D) To relocate Oregon silverspot butterflies from one population in the NEP into another in the NEP, or into
captivity;
(E) To euthanize an injured Oregon silverspot butterfly;
(F) To dispose of a dead Oregon silverspot butterfly, or salvage a dead Oregon silverspot butterfly for scientific
purposes;
(G) To relocate an Oregon silverspot butterfly that has moved outside the NEP area back into the NEP area; or
(H) To aid in law enforcement investigations involving the Oregon silverspot butterfly.
(3) What take of Oregon silverspot butterfly is not allowed in the NEP area? (i) Except as expressly allowed in
paragraph (d)(2) of this section, all of the provisions of 50 CFR 17.31(a) and (b) apply to the Oregon silverspot
butterfly in areas identified in paragraph (d)(1) of this section.
(ii) A person may not possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means, Oregon
silverspot butterflies, or parts thereof, that are taken or possessed in a manner not expressly allowed in paragraph
(d)(2) of this section or in violation of applicable State fish and wildlife laws or regulations or the Act.
(iii) Any manner of take not described under paragraph (d)(2) of this section is prohibited in the NEP areas.
(iv) A person may not attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed any take of the
Oregon silverspot butterfly, except as expressly allowed in paragraph (d)(2) of this section.
(4) How will the effectiveness of these reintroductions be monitored? We will monitor populations annually for
trends in abundance in cooperation with partners, monitor habitat quality, and prepare annual progress reports. We
will fully evaluate reintroduction efforts after 5 years to determine whether to continue or terminate the
reintroduction efforts.

Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) in the United
States
(1) Critical habitat areas are in the State of Alaska, and adjacent territorial and U.S. waters, as described below.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the polar bear in the United States are:
(i) Sea-ice habitat used for feeding, breeding, denning, and movements, which is sea ice over waters 300 m (984.2
ft) or less in depth that occurs over the continental shelf with adequate prey resources (primarily ringed and
bearded seals) to support polar bears.
(ii) Terrestrial denning habitat, which includes topographic features, such as coastal bluffs and river banks, with the
following suitable macrohabitat characteristics:
(A) Steep, stable slopes (range 15.5-50.0°), with heights ranging from 1.3 to 34 m (4.3 to 111.6 ft), and with water
or relatively level ground below the slope and relatively flat terrain above the slope;
(B) Unobstructed, undisturbed access between den sites and the coast;
(C) Sea ice in proximity to terrestrial denning habitat prior to the onset of denning during the fall to provide access
to terrestrial den sites; and
(D) The absence of disturbance from humans and human activities that might attract other polar bears.
(iii) Barrier island habitat used for denning, refuge from human disturbance, and movements along the coast to
access maternal den and optimal feeding habitat, which includes all barrier islands along the Alaska coast and
their associated spits, within the range of the polar bear in the United States, and the water, ice, and terrestrial
habitat within 1.6 km (1 mi) of these islands (no-disturbance zone).
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (e.g., houses, gravel roads, generator plants, sewage
treatment plants, hotels, docks, seawalls, pipelines) and the land on which they are located existing within the
boundaries of designated critical habitat on the effective date of this rule.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Boundaries were derived from GIS data layers of the 1:63,360 scale digital coastline
of the State of Alaska, created by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources from U.S. Geological Survey inchto-the-mile topographic quadrangles. The International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean, version 2.3, was
used for the bathymetric data. The maritime boundaries to generate the 3-mile nautical line, U.S. territorial
boundary, and Exclusive Economic Zone were from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office
of Coast Survey Web site. The land status and ownership information at the section level scale was from the
Alaska Department of Natural Resources, and was obtained from the Alaska State Office of the Bureau of Land
Management. The detailed parcel-level land status was created by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of
the Realty, by digitizing U.S. Bureau of Land Management Master Title Plots. The detailed denning habitat maps
and the internal boundaries for the terrestrial denning habitat were provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, Alaska
Science Center. The data were projected into Alaska Standard Albers Conical Equal Area using the North
American Datum of 1983 to estimate the area of each critical habitat unit and determine overlap with land and
water ownership.
(5) Unit 1: Sea-ice habitat.
(i) The critical sea-ice habitat area includes all the contiguous waters from the mean high tide line of the mainland
coast of Alaska to the 300-m (984.2-ft) bathymetry contour. The critical sea-ice habitat is bounded on the east by
the United States-Canada border (69.64892° N, 141.00533° W) and extends along the coastline to a point
southwest of Hooper Bay (61.52859° N, 166.15476° W) on the western coast of Alaska. The eastern boundary
extends offshore approximately 85 km (136 mi) from the coast (70.41526° N, 141.0076° W) at the United StatesCanada border and then follows the 300-m (984.2-ft) bathymetry contour northwest until it intersects with the U.S.
200-nautical-mile EEZ (74.01403° N, 163.52341° W). The boundary then follows the EEZ boundary southwest to
the intersection with the United States-Russian boundary (72.78333° N, 168.97694° W). From this point, the
boundary follows the United States-Russia boundary south and southwest to the intersection with the southern
boundary of the Chukchi-Bering Seas population southwest of Gambell, St Lawrence Island (62.55482° N,
173.68023° W). From this point, the boundary extends southeast to the coast of Alaska (61.52859° N, 166.15476°
W).
(ii) The map of Unit 1, sea-ice habitat, follows:

Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus
caribou), Southern Mountain Distinct
Population Segment (DPS)
(1) A critical habitat unit is depicted for Boundary County, Idaho, and Pend Oreille County, Washington, on the map
below.
(2) Within this area, the primary constituent elements of the physical and biological features essential to the
conservation of the southern mountain caribou DPS consist of five components:
(i) Mature to old-growth western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla)/western red cedar (Thuja plicata) climax forest, and
subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa)/Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmanni) climax forest at least 5,000 ft (1,520 m) in
elevation; these habitats typically have 26-50 percent or greater canopy closure.
(ii) Ridge tops and high elevation basins that are generally 6,000 ft (1,830 m) in elevation or higher, associated
with mature to old stands of subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa)/Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmanni) climax forest,
with relatively open canopy.
(iii) Presence of arboreal hair lichens.
(iv) High-elevation benches and shallow slopes, secondary stream bottoms, riparian areas, seeps, and subalpine
meadows with succulent forbs and grasses, flowering plants, horsetails, willow, huckleberry, dwarf birch, sedges,
and lichens. The southern mountain caribou DPS, including pregnant females, uses these areas for feeding during
the spring and summer seasons.
(v) Corridors/Transition zones that connect the habitats described above. If human activities occur, they are such
that they do not impair the ability of caribou to use these areas.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as buildings, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on December 28, 2012.
(4) Critical habitat map unit. Data layers defining the map unit were created using a 5,000-ft (1,520-m) elevation
layer derived from 30m USGS DEM plus migration-corridor polygons, and units were then mapped using Universal
Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 11N coordinates. The map in this entry establishes the boundaries of the critical
habitat designation. The coordinates or plot points or both on which the map is based are available to the public at
the field office Internet site (http://www.fws.gov/idaho), at http://www.regulations.gov at Docket No. FWS-R1-ES2011-0096, and at the Service's Idaho Fish and Wildlife Office. You may obtain field office location information by
contacting one of the Service regional offices, the addresses of which are listed at 50 CFR 2.2.

Santa Catalina Island Fox (Urocyon littoralis
catalinae)
We have determined that no areas meet the definition of critical habitat under section 3(5)(A) of the Act for Santa
Catalina Island fox. Therefore, no specific areas are designated as critical habitat for this subspecies.
Jaguar (Panthera onca)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Pima, Santa Cruz, and Cochise Counties, Arizona, and Hidalgo County,
New Mexico, on the maps below.
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the physical or biological feature essential to the
conservation of jaguar consists of expansive open spaces in the southwestern United States of at least 100
km2(32 to 38.6 mi2) in size which:
(i) Provide connectivity to Mexico;
(ii) Contain adequate levels of native prey species, including deer and javelina, as well as medium-sized prey such

(iii) Include surface water sources available within 20 km (12.4 mi) of each other;
(iv) Contain greater than 1 to 50 percent canopy cover within Madrean evergreen woodland, generally recognized
by a mixture of oak (Quercus spp.), juniper (Juniperus spp.), and pine (Pinus spp.) trees on the landscape, or
semidesert grassland vegetation communities, usually characterized by Pleuraphis mutica (tobosagrass)
or Bouteloua eriopoda (black grama) along with other grasses;
(v) Are characterized by intermediately, moderately, or highly rugged terrain;
(vi) Are below 2,000 m (6,562 feet) in elevation; and
(vii) Are characterized by minimal to no human population density, no major roads, or no stable nighttime lighting

San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat (Dipodomys
merriami parvus)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, California, on the maps below.
(2) The PCEs of critical habitat for the San Bernardino kangaroo rat are the habitat components that provide:
(i) Alluvial fans, washes, and associated floodplain areas containing soils consisting predominately of sand, loamy
sand, sandy loam, and loam, which provide burrowing habitat necessary for sheltering and rearing offspring,
storing food in surface caches, and movement between occupied patches;
(ii) Upland areas adjacent to alluvial fans, washes, and associated floodplain areas containing alluvial sage scrub
habitat and associated vegetation, such as coastal sage scrub and chamise chaparral, with up to approximately 50
percent canopy cover providing protection from predators, while leaving bare ground and open areas necessary
for foraging and movement of this subspecies; and
(iii) Upland areas adjacent to alluvial fans, washes, and associated floodplain areas, which may include marginal
habitat such as alluvial sage scrub with greater than 50 percent canopy cover with patches of suitable soils that
support individuals for re-population of wash areas following flood events. These areas may include agricultural
lands, areas of inactive aggregate mining activities, and urban/wildland interfaces.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as buildings, aqueducts, airports, roads, other
paved areas, and the land on which such structures are located) existing on the effective date of this rule and not
containing one or more of the PCEs.
(4) Data layers defining map units were created on a base of NAIP (USDA) 1:24,000 maps, and critical habitat
units were then mapped using Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates.

Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted on the maps below for the following States and counties:
(i) Idaho: Boundary County;
(ii) Maine: Aroostook, Franklin, Penobscot, Piscataquis, and Somerset Counties;
(iii) Minnesota: Cook, Koochiching, Lake, and St. Louis Counties;
(iv) Montana: Carbon, Flathead, Gallatin, Glacier, Granite, Lake, Lewis and Clark, Lincoln, Missoula, Park,
Pondera, Powell, Stillwater, Sweetgrass, and Teton Counties;
(v) Washington: Chelan and Okanogan Counties; and
(vi) Wyoming: Fremont, Lincoln, Park, Sublette, and Teton Counties.
(2) Within these areas the primary constituent element for the Canada lynx is boreal forest landscapes supporting
a mosaic of differing successional forest stages and containing:
(i) Presence of snowshoe hares and their preferred habitat conditions, which include dense understories of young
trees, shrubs or overhanging boughs that protrude above the snow, and mature multistoried stands with conifer
boughs touching the snow surface;
(ii) Winter conditions that provide and maintain deep fluffy snow for extended periods of time;
(iii) Sites for denning that have abundant coarse woody debris, such as downed trees and root wads; and
(iv) Matrix habitat (e.g., hardwood forest, dry forest, non-forest, or other habitat types that do not support
snowshoe hares) that occurs between patches of boreal forest in close juxtaposition (at the scale of a lynx home
range) such that lynx are likely to travel through such habitat while accessing patches of boreal forest within a
home range.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other
paved areas) and the land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on October 14, 2014.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were created using a USA Contiguous Albers Equal
Area Conic projection. The maps in this entry establish the boundaries of the critical habitat designation. The
coordinates or plot points or both on which each map is based are available to the public at the Service's internet
site, http://www.fws.gov/montanafieldoffice/, at http://www.regulations.gov at Docket No. FWS-R6-ES-2013-0101,
and at the field office responsible for this designation. You may obtain field office location information by contacting
one of the Service regional offices, the addresses of which are listed at 50 CFR 2.2.

Alabama Beach Mouse (Peromyscus
polionotus ammobates)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Baldwin County, Alabama, on the maps below. The maps provided are for
informational purposes only.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the Alabama Beach Mouse are the habitat components
that provide:
(i) A contiguous mosaic of primary, secondary, and scrub vegetation and dune structure, with a balanced level of
competition and predation and few or no competitive or predaceous nonnative species present, that collectively
provide foraging opportunities, cover, and burrow sites.
(ii) Primary and secondary dunes, generally dominated by sea oats (Uniola paniculata), that despite occasional
temporary impacts and reconfiguration from tropical storms and hurricanes, provide abundant food resources,
burrow sites, and protection from predators.
(iii) Scrub dunes, generally dominated by scrub oaks (Quercus spp.), that provide food resources and burrow sites,
and provide elevated refugia during and after intense flooding due to rainfall and/or hurricane-induced storm surge.
(iv) Unobstructed habitat connections that facilitate genetic exchange, dispersal, natural exploratory movements,
and recolonization of locally extirpated areas.
(v) A natural light regime within the coastal dune ecosystem, compatible with the nocturnal activity of beach mice,
necessary for normal behavior, growth, and viability of all life stages.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as buildings, aqueducts, airport runways, roads,
other paved areas, and piers) and the land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on the
effective date of this rule.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were created by delineating habitats that contained
one or more of the PCEs defined in paragraph (2) of this entry, over 2005 Baldwin County, Alabama color
photography (UTM 16, NAD 83).

competition and predation and few or no competitive or predaceous nonnative species present, that collectively
provide foraging opportunities, cover, and burrow sites;
(ii) Primary and secondary dunes, generally dominated by sea oats (Uniola paniculata), that despite occasional
temporary impacts and reconfiguration from tropical storms and hurricanes, provide abundant food resources,
burrow sites, and protection from predators;
(iii) Scrub dunes, generally dominated by scrub oaks (Quercus spp.), that provide food resources and burrow sites,
and provide elevated refugia during and after intense flooding due to rainfall and/or hurricane-induced storm surge;
(iv) Functional, unobstructed habitat connections that facilitate genetic exchange, dispersal, natural exploratory
movements, and re-colonization of locally extirpated areas; and
(v) A natural light regime within the coastal dune ecosystem, compatible with the nocturnal activity of beach mice,
necessary for normal behavior, growth, and viability of all life stages.
(3) Critical habitat does not include man-made structures existing on the effective date of this rule and not
containing one or more of the primary constituent elements, such as buildings, aqueducts, airports, driveways, and
roads, and the land on which such structures are located.

New Mexico Meadow Jumping Mouse
(Zapus hudsonius luteus)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Colfax, Mora, Otero, Sandoval, and Socorro Counties in New Mexico; Las
Animas, Archuleta, and La Plata Counties in Colorado; and Greenlee and Apache Counties in Arizona on the
maps below.
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the physical or biological features essential to the
conservation of the New Mexico meadow jumping mouse consist of the following:
(i) Riparian communities along rivers and streams, springs and wetlands, or canals and ditches that contain:
(A) Persistent emergent herbaceous wetlands especially characterized by presence of primarily forbs and sedges
(Carex spp. or Schoenoplectus pungens); or
(B) Scrub-shrub riparian areas that are dominated by willows (Salix spp.) or alders (Alnus spp.) with an understory
of primarily forbs and sedges; and
(ii) Flowing water that provides saturated soils throughout the New Mexico meadow jumping mouse's active
season that supports tall (average stubble height of herbaceous vegetation of at least 61 centimeters (24 inches))
and dense herbaceous riparian vegetation composed primarily of sedges (Carex spp. or Schoenoplectus pungens)
and forbs, including, but not limited to, one or more of the following associated species: Spikerush (Eleocharis
macrostachya), beaked sedge (Carex rostrata), rushes (Juncus spp. and Scirpus spp.), and numerous species of
grasses such as bluegrass (Poa spp.), slender wheatgrass (Elymus trachycaulus), brome (Bromus spp.), foxtail
barley (Hordeum jubatum), or Japanese brome (Bromus japonicas), and forbs such as water hemlock (Circuta
douglasii), field mint (Mentha arvense), asters (Aster spp.), or cutleaf coneflower (Rudbeckia laciniata); and
(iii) Sufficient areas of 9 to 24 kilometers (5.6 to 15 miles) along a stream, ditch, or canal that contain suitable or
restorable habitat to support movements of individual New Mexico meadow jumping mice; and
(iv) Adjacent floodplain and upland areas extending approximately 100 meters (330 feet) outward from the
boundary between the active water channel and the floodplain (as defined by the bankfull stage of streams) or
from the top edge of the ditch or canal.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as buildings, fire lookout stations, runways, roads,
and other paved areas) and the land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on April 15,
2016.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were created using the USA Contiguous Albers Equal
Area Conic USGS version projection. The maps in this entry, as modified by any accompanying regulatory text,
establish the boundaries of the critical habitat designation. The coordinates or plot points or both on which each
map is based are available to the public at the Service's internet
site http://www.fws.gov/southwest/es/NewMexico/,at http://www.regulations.gov at Docket No. FWS-R2-ES-20130014, and at the New Mexico Ecological Services Field Office. You may obtain field office location information by

Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse (Zapus
hudsonius preblei)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Boulder, Broomfield, Douglas, El Paso, Jefferson, Larimer, and Teller
Counties in Colorado on the maps below. The maps provided are for informational purposes only.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the Preble's meadow jumping mouse are:
(i) Riparian corridors:
(A) Formed and maintained by normal, dynamic, geomorphological, and hydrological processes that create and
maintain river and stream channels, floodplains, and floodplain benches and that promote patterns of vegetation
favorable to the Preble's meadow jumping mouse;
(B) Containing dense, riparian vegetation consisting of grasses, forbs, or shrubs, or any combination thereof, in
areas along rivers and streams that normally provide open water through the Preble's meadow jumping mouse's
active season; and
(C) Including specific movement corridors that provide connectivity between and within populations. This may
include river and stream reaches with minimal vegetative cover or that are armored for erosion control; travel ways
beneath bridges, through culverts, along canals and ditches; and other areas that have experienced substantial
human alteration or disturbance.
(ii) Additional adjacent floodplain and upland habitat with limited human disturbance (including hayed fields, grazed
pasture, other agricultural lands that are not plowed or disked regularly, areas that have been restored after past
aggregate extraction, areas supporting recreational trails, and urban-wildland interfaces).
(3) Critical habitat does not include buildings, roads, parking lots, other paved areas, lawns, other urban and
suburban landscaped areas, regularly plowed or disked agricultural areas, and the land on which they are located
existing within the legal boundaries on the effective date of this rule.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were created on a base of USGS digital ortho-photo
quarter-quadrangles, and critical habitat units were then mapped using Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)
Zone 15N coordinates.

provide foraging opportunities, cover, and burrow sites;
(ii) Primary and secondary dunes, generally dominated by sea oats (Uniola paniculata), that despite occasional
temporary impacts and reconfiguration from tropical storms and hurricanes, provide abundant food resources,
burrow sites, and protection from predators;
(iii) Scrub dunes, generally dominated by scrub oaks (Quercus spp.), that provide food resources and burrow sites,
and provide elevated refugia during and after intense flooding due to rainfall and/or hurricane-induced storm surge;
(iv) Functional, unobstructed habitat connections that facilitate genetic exchange, dispersal, natural exploratory
movements, and re-colonization of locally extirpated areas; and
(v) A natural light regime within the coastal dune ecosystem, compatible with the nocturnal activity of beach mice,
necessary for normal behavior, growth, and viability of all life stages.
(3) Critical habitat does not include man-made structures existing on the effective date of this rule and not
containing one or more of the primary constituent elements, such as buildings, aqueducts, airports, driveways, and
roads, and the land on which such structures are located.

Peninsular Bighorn Sheep, a Distinct
Population Segment of Desert Bighorn
Sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Riverside, San Diego, and Imperial Counties, California, on the maps
below.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the Peninsular bighorn sheep are:
(i) Moderate to steep, open slopes (20 to 60 percent) and canyons, with canopy cover of 30 percent or less (below
4,600 ft (1,402 m) elevation in Peninsular Ranges) that provide space for sheltering, predator detection, rearing of
young, foraging and watering, mating, and movement within and between ewe groups;
(ii) Presence of a variety of forage plants, indicated by the presence of shrubs
(e.g., Ambrosia spp., Caesalpiniaspp., Hyptis spp., Sphaeralcea spp., Simmondsia spp.), that provide a primary
food source year round, grasses (e.g., Aristida spp., Bromus spp.) and cacti (e.g., Opuntia spp.) that provide a
source of forage in the fall, and forbs (e.g., Plantago spp., Ditaxis spp.) that provide a source of forage in the
spring;
(iii) Steep, rugged slopes (60 percent slope or greater) (below 4,600 ft (1,402 m) elevation in Peninsular Ranges)
that provide secluded space for lambing and terrain for predator evasion;
(iv) Alluvial fans, washes, and valley bottoms that provide important foraging areas where nutritious and digestible
plants can be more readily found during times of drought and lactation, and that provide and maintain habitat
connectivity by serving as travel routes between and within ewe groups, adjacent mountain ranges, and important
resource areas (e.g., foraging areas and escape terrain); and
(v) Intermittent and permanent water sources that are available during extended dry periods and provide relatively
nutritious plants and drinking water.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as buildings, aqueducts, roads, and other paved
areas) and the land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on the effective date of this rule.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were created on a base of USGS 1:24,000 maps, and

Sierra Nevada Bighorn Sheep (Ovis
canadensis sierrae)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Mono, Fresno, Inyo, Tulare, and Tuolumne Counties, California, on the
maps below.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep are the habitat
components that provide:
(i) Non-forested habitats or forest openings within the Sierra Nevada from 4,000 ft (1,219 m) to 14,500 ft (4,420 m)
in elevation with steep (greater than or equal to 60 percent slope), rocky slopes that provide for foraging, mating,
lambing, predator avoidance, and bedding and that allow for seasonal elevational movements between these
areas.
(ii) Presence of a variety of forage plants as indicated by the presence of grasses
(e.g., Achnanthera spp.; Elymusspp.) and browse (e.g., Ribes spp.; Artemisia spp., Purshia spp.) in winter, and
grasses, browse, sedges (e.g., Carex spp.) and forbs (e.g., Eriogonum spp.) in summer.
(iii) Presence of granite outcroppings containing minerals such as sodium, calcium, iron, and phosphorus that
could be used as mineral licks in order to meet nutritional needs.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures, such as buildings, aqueducts, airports, roads, and other
paved areas, and the land on which they are located, existing on the effective date of this rule and not containing
one or more of the primary constituent elements.
(4) Critical Habitat Map Units—Boundaries of designated critical habitat were derived from Sierra Nevada Bighorn
Sheep Herd Units developed by the California Department of Fish and Game for the final Sierra Nevada Bighorn
Sheep recovery plan. The designated critical habitat unit boundaries differ from Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep Herd
Unit polygons by the removal of developed areas and private parcels that are unlikely to contain the primary
constituent elements. The data were projected to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), zone 11, on the North
American Datum of 1983.

Buena Vista Lake Shrew (Sorex ornatus
relictus)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Kings and Kern Counties, California, on the maps below.
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the physical or biological features essential to the
conservation of the Buena Vista Lake shrew consist of permanent and intermittent riparian or wetland communities
that contain:
(i) A complex vegetative structure with a thick cover of leaf litter or dense mats of low-lying vegetation. Associated
plant species can include, but are not limited to, Fremont cottonwoods, willows, glasswort, wild-rye grass, and rush
grass. Although moist soil in areas with an overstory of willows or cottonwoods appears to be favored, such
overstory may not be essential.
(ii) Suitable moisture supplied by a shallow water table, irrigation, or proximity to permanent or semipermanent
water.
(iii) A consistent and diverse supply of prey. Although the specific prey species used by the Buena Vista Lake
shrew have not been identified, ornate shrews are known to eat a variety of terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates,
including amphipods, slugs, and insects.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other
paved areas) and the land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on the effective date of
this rule.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were created on a base of USGS 7.5′ quadrangles,
and critical habitat units were then mapped using Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. The maps in
this entry, as modified by any accompanying regulatory text, establish the boundaries of the critical habitat
designation. The coordinates or plot points or both on which each map is based are available to the public
at http://criticalhabitat.fws.gov/crithab/, and at http://www.regulations.gov at Docket No. FWS-R8-ES-2009-0062,
and at the field office responsible for this designation. You may obtain field office location information by contacting
one of our regional offices, the addresses of which are listed at 50 CFR 2.2.

Mount Graham Red Squirrel (Tamiasciurus
hudsonicus grahamensis)
Arizona. Areas of land, water, and airspace in the Coronado National Forest, T. 8 S., R. 24 E., and T. 9 S., R. 24 E.
(Gila and Salt River Meridian), Graham County, with the following components:
1. Hawk Peak-Mount Graham Area. The area above the 10,000-foot (3,048-meter) contour surrounding Hawk
Peak and Plain View Peak, plus the area above the 9,800-foot (2,987-meter) contour that is south of lines
extending from the highest point of Plain View Peak eastward at 90° (from true north) and southwestward at 225°
(from true north).
2. Heliograph Peak Area. The area on the north-facing slope of Heliograph Peak that is above the 9,200-foot
(2,804-meter) contour surrounding Heliograph Peak and that is between a line extending at 15° (from true north)
from a point 160 feet (49 meters) due south of the horizontal control station on Heliograph Peak and a line
extending northwestward at 300° (from true north) from that same point.
3. Webb Peak Area. The area on the east-facing slope of Webb Peak that is above the 9,700-foot (2,957-meter)
contour surrounding Webb Peak and that is east of a line extending due north and south through a point 160 feet
(49 meters) due west of the horizontal control station on Webb Peak.
The major constituent element is dense stands of mature spruce-fir forest.

Amargosa Vole (Microtus californicus
scirpensis)
California. Marshes and associated land and water in the following areas of Inyo County (San Bernardino
Meridian): T20N R7E Sec. 4, 5, N 1⁄2 and SE 1⁄4 Sec. 9, NW 1⁄4 Sec. 10, SW 1⁄4 SW 1⁄4 Sec. 15, E 1⁄2 Sec. 16,
NW 1⁄4 Sec. 22; T21N R7E S 1⁄2 Sec. 28, S 1⁄2 and NW 1⁄4 Sec. 29, Sec. 32, 33.
Within these areas, the major constituent elements that are known to require special management considerations
or protection are marsh vegetation (primarily bulrushes of the genus Scirpus), springs, and some open water along
the Amargosa River, which provide escape cover and an adequate food supply.
