Permits for Incidental Taking of Endangered or Threatened Species

OMB 0648-0230

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) prohibits the taking of endangered species. Section 10 of the ESA allows for certain exceptions to the prohibitions, such as taking that is incidental to an otherwise lawful activity. The corresponding regulations provide application and reporting requirements for such exceptions. The required information is used to evaluate the proposed activity (application) and ongoing activities (reports) and is necessary for NMFS to ensure the conservation of the species under the ESA.

The latest form for Permits for Incidental Taking of Endangered or Threatened Species expires 2021-10-31 and can be found here.
