SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
prohibits activities with endangered and
threatened species unless a Federal
permit allows such activity. Along with
our implementing regulations in the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50
CFR part 17, the Act provides for
permits, and requires that we invite
public comment before issuing these
permits.
A permit granted by us under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the Act authorizes the
permittee to conduct activities with
United States endangered or threatened
species for scientific purposes,
enhancement of propagation or survival,
or interstate commerce (the latter only
in the event that it facilitates scientific
purposes or enhancement of
propagation or survival). Our
regulations implementing section
10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are found
at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered wildlife
species, 50 CFR 17.32 for threatened
wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.62 for
endangered plant species, and 50 CFR
17.72 for threatened plant species.
