EXPLANATION
The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and
permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive
departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided
into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal
regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the
name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into
parts covering specific regulatory areas.
Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year
and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:
Title 1 through Title 16.................................as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27..................................as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41...................................as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50................................as of October 1
The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each
volume.
LEGAL STATUS
The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially
noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie
evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).
HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS
The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual
issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used
together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its
revision date (in this case, October 1, 2020), consult the ``List of CFR
Sections Affected (LSA),'' which is issued monthly, and the ``Cumulative
List of Parts Affected,'' which appears in the Reader Aids section of
the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal
Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.
EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES
Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal
Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source
citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page
number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication
dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be
exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In
instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the
Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In
those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be
inserted following the text.
OMB CONTROL NUMBERS
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires
Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information
collection request.
[[Page vi]]
Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as
amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are
placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting
requirements.
PAST PROVISIONS OF THE CODE
Provisions of the Code that are no longer in force and effect as of
the revision date stated on the cover of each volume are not carried.
Code users may find the text of provisions in effect on any given date
in the past by using the appropriate List of CFR Sections Affected
(LSA). For the convenience of the reader, a ``List of CFR Sections
Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume. For changes to
the Code prior to the LSA listings at the end of the volume, consult
previous annual editions of the LSA. For changes to the Code prior to
2001, consult the List of CFR Sections Affected compilations, published
for 1949-1963, 1964-1972, 1973-1985, and 1986-2000.
``[RESERVED]'' TERMINOLOGY
The term ``[Reserved]'' is used as a place holder within the Code of
Federal Regulations. An agency may add regulatory information at a
``[Reserved]'' location at any time. Occasionally ``[Reserved]'' is used
editorially to indicate that a portion of the CFR was left vacant and
not dropped in error.
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was
established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the
requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring
to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be
valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal
effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as
if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)).
This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force
of law.
What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the
Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when
the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which
approval is based are:
(a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of
material published in the Federal Register.
(b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent
necessary to afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative
process.
(c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for
publication in accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If
you have any problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed as
an approved incorporation by reference, please contact the agency that
issued the regulation containing that incorporation. If, after
contacting the agency, you find the material is not available, please
notify the Director of the Federal Register, National Archives and
Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001,
or call 202-741-6010.
CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES
A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a
separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR Index
and Finding Aids. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Authorities
and Rules. A list of CFR titles, chapters, subchapters, and parts and an
alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are also included in
this volume.
An index to the text of ``Title 3--The President'' is carried within
that volume.
[[Page vii]]
The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form.
This index is based on a consolidation of the ``Contents'' entries in
the daily Federal Register.
A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to
the revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.
REPUBLICATION OF MATERIAL
There are no restrictions on the republication of material appearing
in the Code of Federal Regulations.

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]
[[Page 6]]
Sec.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

[40 FR 44415, Sept. 26, 1975, as amended at 42 FR 10465, Feb. 22, 1977]
Sec.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 Sec.
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
[[Page 7]]
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 Sec.17.11 or a
species of plant listed in Sec.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
[[Page 8]]
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 Sec. Sec.
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 Sec.17.11 or
plant listed in Sec.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.

Sec.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 Sec.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.
Sec.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
[[Page 10]]
native articles of handicrafts and clothing.
Sec.17.6 State cooperative agreements. [Reserved]
Sec.17.7 Raptor exemption.
(a) The prohibitions found in Sec. Sec.17.21 and 17.31 do not

Subpart B_Lists
Sec.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 Sec. Sec.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:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regulatory status the abbreviation
Abbreviation represents
------------------------------------------------------------------------
E................................ Endangered species.
T................................ Threatened species.
E (S/A).......................... Endangered based on similarity of
appearance to an existing listed
species.
T (S/A).......................... Threatened based on similarity of
appearance to an existing listed
species.
XE............................... Essential experimental population
(See subpart H of this part).
XN............................... Nonessential experimental population
(See subpart H of this part).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 12]]
(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:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Superscript Description 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).
10j............................. Species-specific ``10(j)'' rule (a
rule issued under the authority of
section 10(j) of the 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).

Sec.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 Sec. Sec.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 Regulatory status the abbreviation represents
------------------------------------------------------------------------
E........................ Endangered species.
T........................ Threatened species.
E (S/A).................. Endangered based on similarity of appearance
to an existing listed species.
[[Page 65]]
T (S/A).................. Threatened based on similarity of appearance
to an existing listed species.
XE....................... Essential experimental population (See
subpart H of this part).
XN....................... 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:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Superscript Description 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).
10j...................... Species-specific ``10(j)'' rule (a rule
issued under the authority of section 10(j)
of the 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).
(h) The ``List of Endangered and Threatened Plants'' is provided in
the table in this paragraph (h):

Subpart C_Endangered Wildlife
Sec.17.21 Prohibitions.
(a) Except as provided in subpart A of this part, or under permits
issued pursuant to Sec.17.22 or Sec.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.
[[Page 90]]
(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 Sec.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 Sec.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 Sec.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 Sec.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 Sec.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 Sec.21.12(c) and (d).
[[Page 91]]
(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
[[Page 92]]
consider, in addition to the general criteria in Sec.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 Register that 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 Sec. Sec.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:
(A) The bar-tailed pheasant (Syrmaticus humiae), Elliot's pheasant
(S. ellioti), Mikado pheasant (S. mikado), brown eared pheasant
(Crossoptilon mantchuricum), white eared pheasant (C. crossoptilon),
cheer pheasant (Catreus wallichii), Edward's pheasant (Lophura
edwardsi), Swinhoe's pheasant (L. swinhoii), Chinese monal (Lophophorus
lhuysii), and Palawan peacock pheasant (Polyplectron emphanum);
(B) Parakeets of the species Neophema pulchella and N. splendida;
(C) The Laysan duck (Anas laysanensis); and
(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.
[[Page 93]]
(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 Sec.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 written records of
activities, including births, deaths, and transfers of specimens, and
make those records accessible to Service agents for inspection at
reasonable hours as set forth in Sec. Sec.13.46 and 13.47 of this
chapter.
(h) U.S. captive-bred scimitar-horned oryx, addax, and dama gazelle.
Notwithstanding paragraphs (b), (c), (e), and (f) of this section, any
person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States 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 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 Sec.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 prevents hybridization of the
species or subspecies;
(4) All live specimens of that species held by the captive-breeding
operation are managed in a manner that maintains genetic diversity;
(5) Any export of or foreign commerce in a specimen meets the
requirements of paragraph (g)(4) of this section, as well as parts 13,
14, and 23 of this chapter;
(6) Each specimen to be re-imported is uniquely identified by a
tattoo or other means that is reported on the documentation required
under paragraph (h)(5) of this section; and
(7) Each person claiming the benefit of the exception of this
paragraph (h) must maintain accurate written records of activities,
including births, deaths, and transfers of specimens, and make those
records accessible to Service officials for inspection at reasonable
hours set forth in Sec. Sec.13.46 and 13.47 of this chapter.
(8) The sport-hunted trophy consists of raw or tanned parts, such as
bones, hair, head, hide, hooves, horns, meat, skull, rug, taxidermied
head, shoulder, or full body mount, of a specimen that was taken by the
hunter during a sport hunt for personal use. It does not include
articles made from a trophy, such as worked, manufactured, or handicraft
items for use as clothing, curios, ornamentation, jewelry, or other
utilitarian items for commercial purposes.

authorizing any activity otherwise prohibited by Sec.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 Sec.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 Sec.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 Sec.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;
[[Page 95]]
(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 Sec.
17.21(c) 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 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 Sec.13.21(b) of this
subchapter, except for Sec.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,
[[Page 96]]
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 Sec.13.26 of this subchapter, a permittee
[[Page 97]]
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 Sec.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
Sec.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 Sec.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 Sec.13.21(b) of this subchapter, except
for Sec.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
[[Page 98]]
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
Sec.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 Sec.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:
[[Page 99]]
(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 Sec.13.21(b) of this subchapter, except
for Sec.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
[[Page 100]]
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
Sec.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 Sec. Sec.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
[[Page 101]]
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.

Sec.17.23 Economic hardship permits.
Upon receipt of a complete application, the Director may issue a
permit authorizing any activity otherwise prohibited by Sec.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 Sec.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 Sec.
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 appli- cant'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 Sec.13.21(b) of this subchapter, the
following factors:
[[Page 102]]
(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.

Sec.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
Sec. Sec.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 Sec.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 Sec.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;
[[Page 104]]
(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 Sec.
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
[[Page 105]]
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.
[[Page 106]]
(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 Sec.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
Sec.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
Sec.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 Sec.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 Sec.
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 Sec.13.21(b) of this subchapter, except
for Sec.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
[[Page 107]]
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
Sec.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.
[[Page 108]]
(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 Sec.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 Sec.
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 Sec.13.21(b) of this subchapter, except
for Sec.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.
[[Page 109]]
(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
Sec.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
[[Page 110]]
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.

Sec.17.40 Special rules--mammals.
(a) Mazama pocket gophers (Olympia, Roy Prairie, Tenino, and Yelm)
(Thomomys mazama pugetensis, glacialis, tumuli, and yelmensis)--(1)
Which populations of the Mazama pocket gopher are covered by this
special rule? This special rule covers the four Thurston/Pierce
subspecies of the Mazama pocket gopher (Olympia, Roy Prairie, Tenino,
and Yelm) (Thomomys mazama pugetensis, glacialis, tumuli, and yelmensis)
wherever they occur.
(2) What activities are prohibited? Except as noted in paragraphs
(a)(3) through (7) of this section, all prohibitions of Sec.17.31
apply to the Olympia, Roy Prairie, Tenino, and Yelm pocket gophers.
(3) What activities are allowed on civilian airports? Incidental
take of the Olympia, Roy Prairie, Tenino, and Yelm pocket gophers will
not be a violation of section 9 of the Act, if the incidental take
results from non-Federal routine maintenance activities in or adjacent
to Mazama pocket gopher habitat and associated with airport operations
on civilian airports. Routine maintenance activities include the
following:
(i) Routine management, repair, and maintenance of runways, roads,
and taxiways (does not include upgrades, or construction of new runways,
roads, or taxiways, or new development at airports);
(ii) Hazing of hazardous wildlife;
(iii) Management of forage, water, and shelter to reduce the
attractiveness of the area around airports for hazardous wildlife; and
(iv) Control or other management of noxious weeds and invasive

without a threatened species permit issued under Sec.17.32 provided:
(A) The ivory was legally acquired prior to February 26, 1976;
[[Page 119]]
(B) The item containing worked ivory is accompanied by a valid CITES
traveling exhibition certificate (see the requirements for traveling
exhibition certificates at 50 CFR 23.49) or equivalent CITES document;
(C) The item containing ivory is securely marked or uniquely
identified so that authorities can verify that the certificate
corresponds to the item in question; and
(D) The item containing worked ivory is not sold, traded, or
otherwise disposed of while outside the certificate holder's country of
usual residence.
(iii) Household move or inheritance. Worked ivory may be imported
into or exported from the United States without a threatened species
permit issued under Sec.17.32 for personal use as part of a household
move or as part of an inheritance if the ivory was legally acquired
prior to February 26, 1976, and the item is accompanied by a valid CITES
pre-Convention certificate. It is unlawful to sell or offer for sale in
interstate or foreign commerce or to deliver, receive, carry, transport,
or ship in interstate or foreign commerce and in the course of a
commercial activity any African elephant ivory imported into the United
States as part of a household move or inheritance. The exception in
paragraph (e)(3) of this section regarding manufactured or handcrafted
items containing de minimis quantities of ivory does not apply to items
imported or exported under this paragraph (e)(5)(iii) as part of a
household move or inheritance.
(6) Sport-hunted trophies. (i) African elephant sport-hunted
trophies may be imported into the United States provided:
(A) The trophy was legally taken in an African elephant range
country that declared an ivory export quota to the CITES Secretariat for
the year in which the trophy animal was killed;
(B) A determination is made that the killing of the trophy animal
will enhance the survival of the species and the trophy is accompanied
by a threatened species permit issued under Sec.17.32;
(C) The trophy is legibly marked in accordance with 50 CFR part 23;
(D) The requirements in 50 CFR parts 13, 14, and 23 have been met;
and
(E) No more than two African elephant sport-hunted trophies are
imported by any hunter in a calendar year.
(ii) It is unlawful to sell or offer for sale in interstate or
foreign commerce or to deliver, receive, carry, transport, or ship in
interstate or foreign commerce and in the course of a commercial
activity any sport-hunted African elephant trophy. The exception in
paragraph (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)(6) as part of a sport-
hunted trophy.
(iii) Except as provided in paragraph (e)(9) of this section, raw
ivory that was imported as part of a sport-hunted trophy may not be
exported from the United States. Except as provided in paragraphs
(e)(5), (e)(7), (e)(8), and (e)(9) of this section, worked ivory
imported as a sport-hunted trophy may not be exported from the United
States. Parts of a sport-hunted trophy other than ivory may be exported
from the United States without a threatened species permit issued under
Sec.17.32, provided the requirements of 50 CFR parts 13, 14, and 23
have been met.
(7) Import/export of ivory for law enforcement purposes. Raw or
worked ivory may be imported into and worked ivory may be exported from
the United States by an employee or agent of a Federal, State, or tribal
government agency for law enforcement purposes, without a threatened
species permit issued under Sec.17.32, provided the requirements of 50
CFR parts 13, 14, and 23 have been met. It is unlawful to sell or offer
for sale in interstate or foreign commerce and to deliver, receive,
carry, transport, or ship in interstate or foreign commerce and in the
course of a commercial activity any African elephant ivory that was
imported into or exported from the United States for law enforcement
purposes. The exception in paragraph (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)(7) for law enforcement purposes.
[[Page 120]]
(8) Import/export of ivory for genuine scientific purposes. (i) Raw
or worked ivory may be imported into and worked ivory may be exported
from the United States for genuine scientific purposes that will
contribute to the conservation of the African elephant, provided:
(A) It is accompanied by a threatened species permit issued under
Sec.17.32; and
(B) The requirements of 50 CFR parts 13, 14, and 23 have been met.
(ii) It is unlawful to sell or offer for sale in interstate or
foreign commerce and to deliver, receive, carry, transport, or ship in
interstate or foreign commerce and in the course of a commercial
activity any African elephant ivory that was imported into or exported
from the United States for genuine scientific purposes. The exception in
paragraph (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 Sec.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 apply under the
African Elephant Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 4201 et seq.), regardless
of the age of the item. Antiques that consist of or contain raw or
worked ivory may similarly be sold or offered for sale in interstate or
foreign commerce and delivered, received, carried, transported, or
shipped in interstate or foreign commerce in the course of a commercial
activity without a threatened species permit issued under Sec.17.32.
(f) Leopard (Panthera pardus) (1) Except as noted in paragraph
(f)(2) of this section, all prohibitions of Sec.17.31 of this part and
exemptions of Sec.17.32 of this part shall apply to the leopard
populations occurring in southern Africa to the south of a line running
along the borders of the following countries: Gabon/Rio Muni; Gabon/
Cameroon; Congo/Cameroon; Congo/Central African Republic; Zaire/Central
African Republic; Zaire/Sudan; Uganda/Sudan; Kenya/Sudan; Kenya/
Ethiopia; Kenya/Somalia.
(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 Sec.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 Sec.17.31(a) and (b) and exemptions of
Sec.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;
[[Page 121]]
(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 Sec.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,
[[Page 122]]
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
[[Page 123]]
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 Sec.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
[[Page 124]]
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 State-licensed 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 Sec.17.32 may take CWTD, pursuant to the
special terms and conditions of the permit.
[[Page 125]]
(j) Argali (Ovis ammon) in Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, and Tajikistan. (1)
Except as noted in paragraph (j)(2) of this section, all prohibitions of
Sec.17.31 of this part and exemptions of Sec.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 Sec.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
Sec.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:
[[Page 126]]
(i) Take under permits. Any person with a valid permit issued by the
Service under Sec.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;
(C) Applicable county bulletins;
(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
[[Page 127]]

quantity; or
(F) Other natural or man-made factors affecting the species'
recovery.
(4) What must vicu[ntilde]a 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 vicu[ntilde]a 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 vicu[ntilde]a
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 vicu[ntilde]a in the wild, particularly its population
biology, habitat use, and genetics, and a description of any new
research projects undertaken on the biology of vicu[ntilde]a 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 vicu[ntilde]a conservation, in particular those
laws and regulations related to harvest and use of
[[Page 129]]
the vicu[ntilde]a, and export of vicu[ntilde]a 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
vicu[ntilde]a;
(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 vicu[ntilde]a;
(G) A description of the current management and harvest (or
``sustainable use'') programs for wild populations of the vicu[ntilde]a,
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 vicu[ntilde]a, 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
vicu[ntilde]a 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 vicu[ntilde]a. Failure to submit
an annual report could result in a restriction on trade in specimens of
vicu[ntilde]a 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
vicu[ntilde]a populations in a range country has changed, such that
continued recovery of the vicu[ntilde]a 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 vicu[ntilde]a;
(B) A change in range country management programs that lessens
protection for vicu[ntilde]a;
(C) A documented decline in wild vicu[ntilde]a population numbers;
(D) A documented increase in poaching of vicu[ntilde]a;
(E) A documented decline in vicu[ntilde]a habitat quality or
quantity; or
(F) Other natural or man-made factors affecting the species'
recovery.

apply to the streaked horned lark.
(3) What activities are allowed on airports on non-Federal lands?
(i) Incidental take of the streaked horned lark will not be a violation
of section 9 of the Act, if the incidental take results from routine
management activities associated with airport operations to minimize
hazardous wildlife, consistent with regulations at 14 CFR 139.337.
(ii) Hazardous wildlife is defined by the Federal Aviation
Administration as species of wildlife, including feral animals and
domesticated animals not under control, that are associated with
aircraft strike problems, are capable of causing structural damage to
airport facilities, or act as attractants to other wildlife that pose a
strike hazard. Routine management activities include, but are not
limited to, the following:
(A) Routine management, repair, and maintenance of roads and runways
(does not include upgrades or construction of new roads or runways);

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.
[[Page 133]]
(b) Coastal California gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica
californica). (1) Except as noted in paragraphs (b)(2) and (3) of this
section, all prohibitions of Sec.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.

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 Sec. Sec.
17.4 through 17.6:
(i) Import or export as provided in Sec.17.21(b).
(ii) Take as provided in Sec.17.21(c)(1).
(iii) Possession and other acts with unlawfully taken specimens as
provided in Sec.17.21(d)(1).
(iv) Interstate or foreign commerce in the course of commercial
activity as provided in Sec.17.21(e).
(v) Sale or offer for sale as provided in Sec.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 Sec.17.32.
(ii) Take as provided in Sec.17.21(c)(2) through (7). However,
Sec.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
[[Page 135]]
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 Sec.17.21(d)(2) through (4)).
(4) Reporting and disposal requirements. Any injury or mortality of
nene associated with the actions excepted under
[[Page 136]]
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.

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.
(G) Other natural or manmade factors affecting the species'
recovery.
(d) Blue-tailed mole skink (Eumeces egregius lividus) and sand skink
(Neoseps reynoldsi). (1) No person shall take these species, except in
accordance with applicable State fish and wildlife conservation laws and
regulations for educational purposes, scientific purposes, the
enhancement or survival of the species, zoological exhibition, and other
conservation purposes consistent with the Act.
(2) Any violation of applicable State fish and wildlife conservation
laws or regulations with respect to taking of these species is also a
violation of the Endangered Species Act.
(3) No person shall possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship,
import, or export, by any means whatever, any such species taken in
violation of applicable State fish and wildlife conservation laws or
regulations.
[[Page 140]]
(4) It is unlawful for any person to attempt to commit, solicit
another to commit, or cause to be committed, any offense defined in
paragraph (c) (1) through (3) of this section.
(5) Taking of these species for purposes other than those described
in paragraph (c)(1) of this section, including taking incidental to
carrying out otherwise lawful activities, is prohibited except when
permitted under Sec. Sec.17.23 and 17.32.
(e) Desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii)--(1) Definition. For the
purposes of this paragraph (e) ``desert tortoise'' shall mean any member
of the species Gopherus agassizii, whether alive or dead, and any part,
product, egg, or offspring thereof, found outside of Arizona (south and
east of the Colorado River) and Mexico, regardless of natal origin or
place of removal from the wild.
(2) Applicable provisions. The provisions of Sec.17.31-17.32 shall
apply to any desert tortoise subject to this paragraph (e).
(f) Bog turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergii), southern population--(1)
Definitions of terms. For the purposes of this paragraph (f): Bog turtle
of the southern population means any member of the species Clemmys
muhlenbergii, within Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee
and Virginia, regardless of whether in the wild or captivity, and also
applies to the progeny of any such turtle.
(2) Prohibitions. Except as provided in paragraph (f)(3) of this
section, the provisions of Sec. 17.31 (a) and (b) of this part applies
to bog turtles of the southern population (see also 50 CFR part 23).
(3) Take. Incidental take, that is, take that results from, but is
not the purpose of, carrying out an otherwise lawful activity, does not
apply to bog turtles of the southern population.
(g) Northern Mexican gartersnake (Thamnophis eques megalops)--(1)
Prohibitions. Except as noted in paragraph (g)(2) of this section, all
prohibitions and provisions of Sec. Sec.17.31 and 17.32 apply to the
northern Mexican gartersnake.
(2) Exemptions from prohibitions. Incidental take of the northern
Mexican gartersnake will not be considered a violation of section 9 of
the Act if the take occurs on non-Federal land and is incidental to
activities pertaining to construction, continued use, and maintenance of
stock tanks. A stock tank is an existing or future impoundment in an
ephemeral drainage or upland site constructed primarily as a watering
site for livestock.
(h) Black pinesnake (Pituophis melanoleucus lodingi).

(1) Cause subsurface disturbance, including, but not limited to,
wind-rowing, stumping, disking (except during firebreak creation or
maintenance), root-raking, drum chopping (except for single pass with
the lightest possible weighted drums and only when the soil is not wet,
when used to control hardwoods and woody shrub species detrimental to
establishment of pine-forested land), shearing that penetrates the soil
surface, ripping (except when restoring pine forest in compacted soil
areas such as former pastures), bedding, new road construction, and
commercial or residential development. Machine-planting, using the
shallowest depth possible, would be allowed in areas where pocket
gophers are not present and only for planting pine tree species. In
former pastures or highly degraded areas with no herbaceous vegetation
and poor planting conditions, subsurface disturbance will be allowed
only for activities that contribute to reforestation that is consistent
with the conservation of the species.
(2) Inhibit the persistence of suitable Baird's pocket gopher and
Louisiana pinesnake habitat, which consists of open-canopy forest
situated on well-drained sandy soils with an abundant herbaceous plant
community, a nonexistent or sparse midstory, and a low pine basal area.
(3) Involve the use of plastic mesh in erosion control and
stabilization devices, mats, blankets, or channel protection.

(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
[[Page 147]]
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]
(r) Pecos bluntnose shiner (Notropis simus pecosensis). (1) No
person shall take the species, except in accordance with applicable

provisions of Sec. Sec.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
Sec. Sec.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 Sec.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 Sec.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
[[Page 150]]
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
Sec.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 Sec.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 Sec.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 basin-wide 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:
[[Page 151]]
(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
[[Page 152]]
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,
[[Page 153]]
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
[[Page 154]]
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 re-exporting
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.
[[Page 155]]
(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, shovelnose-pallid 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,

(q) Trispot darter (Etheostoma trisella). (1) Prohibitions. The
following prohibitions that apply to endangered wildlife also apply to
the trispot darter. Except as provided under paragraph (q)(2) of this
section and Sec. Sec.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 the trispot darter:
(i) Import or export, as set forth at Sec.17.21(b) for endangered
wildlife.
(ii) Take, as set forth at Sec.17.21(c)(1) for endangered
wildlife.
(iii) Possession and other acts with unlawfully taken specimens, as
set forth at Sec.17.21(d)(1) for endangered wildlife.
(iv) Interstate or foreign commerce in the course of commercial
activity, as set forth at Sec.17.21(e) for endangered wildlife.
(v) Sale or offer for sale, as set forth at Sec.17.21(f) for
endangered wildlife.
(2) Exceptions from prohibitions. In regard to this species, you
may:
(i) Conduct activities as authorized by a permit issued under Sec.
17.32.
(ii) Take, as set forth at Sec.17.21(c)(2) through (c)(4) for
endangered wildlife.
(iii) Take, as set forth at Sec.17.31(b).
(iv) Take incidental to an otherwise lawful activity caused by:
(A) Species restoration efforts by State wildlife agencies,
including collection of broodstock, tissue collection for genetic
analysis, captive propagation, and subsequent stocking into currently
occupied and unoccupied areas within the historical range of the
species.
(B) Channel restoration projects that create natural, physically
stable, ecologically functioning streams (or stream and wetland systems)
that are reconnected with their groundwater aquifers and, if the
projects involve known trispot darter spawning habitat, that take place
between May 1 and December 31. These projects can be accomplished using
a variety of methods, but the desired outcome is a natural channel with
low shear stress (force of water moving against the channel); bank
heights that enable reconnection to the floodplain; a reconnection of
surface and groundwater systems, resulting in perennial flows in the
channel; riffles and pools comprised of existing soil, rock, and wood
instead of large imported materials; low compaction of soils within
adjacent riparian areas; and inclusion of riparian wetlands.
(C) Streambank stabilization projects that utilize bioengineering
methods to replace pre-existing, bare, eroding stream banks with
vegetated, stable stream banks, thereby reducing bank erosion and
instream sedimentation and improving habitat conditions for the species.
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
[[Page 158]]
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). Stream banks
must not be stabilized solely through the use of quarried rock (rip-rap)
or the use of rock baskets or gabion structures.
(D) Silviculture practices and forest management activities that:
(1) Implement State best management practices, particularly for
streamside management zones, for stream crossings, for forest roads, for
erosion control, and to maintain stable channel morphology; or
(2) Remove logging debris or any other large material placed within
natural or artificial wet weather conveyances or ephemeral,
intermittent, or perennial stream channels; and
(3) When such activities involve trispot darter spawning habitat,
are carried out between May 1 and December 31.
(E) Transportation projects that provide for fish passage at stream
crossings that are performed between May 1 and December 31 to avoid the
time period when the trispot darter will be found within spawning
habitat, if such habitat is affected by the activity.
(F) Projects carried out in the species' range under the Working
Lands for Wildlife program of the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, that:
(1) Do not alter habitats known to be used by the trispot darter
beyond the fish's tolerances; and
(2) Are performed between May 1 and December 31 to avoid the time
period when the trispot darter will be found within its spawning
habitat, if such habitat is affected by the activity.
(v) Possess and engage in other acts with unlawfully taken wildlife,
as set forth at Sec.17.21(d)(2) for endangered wildlife.

Sec.17.47 Special rules--insects.
(a) Cassius blue butterfly (Leptotes cassius theonus), Ceraunus blue
butterfly (Hemiargus ceraunus antibubastus), and Nickerbean blue
butterfly (Cyclargus ammon).
(1) The provisions of Sec.17.31(c) apply to these species (cassius
blue butterfly, ceraunus blue butterfly, nickerbean blue butterfly),
regardless of whether in the wild or in captivity, and also apply to the
progeny of any such butterfly.
(2) Any violation of State law will also be a violation of the Act.
(3) Incidental take, that is, take that results from, but is not the
purpose of, carrying out an otherwise lawful activity, will not apply to
the cassius blue butterfly, ceraunus blue butterfly, and nickerbean blue
butterfly.
(4) Collection of the cassius blue butterfly, ceraunus blue
butterfly, and nickerbean blue butterfly is prohibited in coastal
counties south of Interstate 4 and extending to the boundaries of the
State of Florida at the endpoints of Interstate 4 at Tampa and Daytona
Beach. Specifically, such activities are prohibited in the following
counties: Brevard, Broward, Charlotte, Collier, De Soto, Hillsborough,
Indian River, Lee, Manatee, Pinellas, Sarasota, St. Lucie, Martin,
Miami-Dade, Monroe, Palm Beach, and Volusia.
(b) Dakota skipper (Hesperia dacotae). (1) Which populations of the
Dakota skipper are covered by this special rule? This rule covers the
distribution of Dakota skipper in the United States.
(2) Prohibitions. Except as noted in paragraph (b)(3) of this
section, all prohibitions and provisions of Sec. Sec.17.31 and 17.32
apply to the Dakota skipper.
(3) Exemptions from prohibitions. Incidental take of Dakota skipper
will not be a violation of section 9 of the Act if it occurs as a result
of the following activities (except where explicitly stated otherwise,
these activities must be associated with livestock ranching):
(i) Fence construction and maintenance.
(ii) Livestock gathering and management. The installation and
maintenance of corrals, loading chutes, and other livestock working
facilities must be carefully sited with respect to the
[[Page 159]]
location and distribution of important Dakota skipper habitat.
(iii) Development and maintenance of livestock watering facilities.
(iv) Noxious weed control. Incidental take of Dakota skipper that
results from spraying of herbicides is not a 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 Sec. Sec.17.4 and 17.5. It is unlawful for any
person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to commit, to

Sec.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 Sec.
17.11 (Wildlife) or Sec.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.

Sec. Sec.17.73-17.78 [Reserved]
Subpart H_Experimental Populations
Source: 49 FR 33893, Aug. 27, 1984, unless otherwise noted.
Sec.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.
Sec.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
[[Page 168]]
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
Sec. Sec.17.84-17.86 as appropriate and separately listed in Sec.
17.11(h) (wildlife) or Sec.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.
Sec.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
Sec.17.81 will contain applicable prohibitions, as appropriate, and
exceptions for that population.
Sec.17.83 Interagency cooperation.
(a) Any experimental population designated for a listed species (1)
determined pursuant to Sec.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
[[Page 169]]
Sec.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.
Sec.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
[[Page 170]]
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 Sec.
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)
[[Page 171]]
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 captive-breeding 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
[[Page 172]]
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 Sec.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.
(5) Note: Map of the NEP areas [Big Muddy Creek (Gentry, Harrison,
and Worth Counties), Little Creek (Harrison County), and Spring Creek

(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
[[Page 177]]
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 Sec.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
[[Page 178]]
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
Sec.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
[[Page 179]]
(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
[[Page 180]]
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.
[[Page 181]]
(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 Black-footed 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
[[Page 182]]
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
[[Page 183]]
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
Sec.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
[[Page 192]]
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 Sec.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 Sec.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:
361-286-3559), 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
[[Page 193]]
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:
[[Page 194]]
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR03FE11.000
(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 Sec.
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
[[Page 195]]
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
[[Page 196]]
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. Sec.
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
[[Page 198]]
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 Sec.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 Sec.17.31 for State game
and fish agencies with authority to manage Mexican wolves, or a valid
permit issued by the Service through Sec.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
[[Page 199]]
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, non-debilitating 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
[[Page 200]]
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 translocation-eligible 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
[[Page 201]]
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:
[[Page 202]]
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR16JA15.020
(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 Sec.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
[[Page 203]]
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 Sec.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.
[[Page 204]]
(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
[[Page 205]]
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 Sec.17.31 for State game
and fish agencies with authority to manage Mexican wolves, or a valid
permit issued by the Service through Sec.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 Sec.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,
[[Page 206]]
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
Sec.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
land-use 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
[[Page 207]]
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:
[[Page 208]]
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR16JA15.021
(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
[[Page 209]]
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:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR16JA15.022
[[Page 210]]
(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:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR16JA15.023
[[Page 211]]
(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 Sec.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 Sec.17.81 (b), that the reintroduction of grizzly
bears as a nonessential experimental population, as defined in Sec.
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 Sec.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
[[Page 212]]
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 Sec.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 (406-243-4903);
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
[[Page 213]]
Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, or appropriate Tribal
authorities to harass (see definition in Sec.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.
[[Page 214]]
(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,
[[Page 215]]
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.
[[Page 216]]
(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
[[Page 217]]
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
[[Page 218]]
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 human-caused 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
[[Page 219]]
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 Sec.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 Sec.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
[[Page 220]]
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 Sec.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
[[Page 222]]
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
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.
(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.
(iv) 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 (m)(3) of this section, all the
provisions of Sec.17.31(a) and (b) apply to the spotfin chub.
(ii) Any manner of take not described under paragraph (m)(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
(m)(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 (m)(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? (i) In the Tellico River NEP area, 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.
(ii) In the Shoal Creek NEP area, 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.
(iii) In the Lower French Broad and Lower Holston Rivers NEP area,
after the initial stocking of these species, we will monitor annually
their presence or absence and document any spawning behavior or young-
of-the-year that
[[Page 223]]
might be present. This monitoring will be conducted primarily by
snorkeling or seining and will be accomplished by contracting with the
appropriate species experts. Annual reports will be produced 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.

(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 Sec.17.31(a) and (b) apply to the boulder darter.
(ii) Any manner of take not described under paragraph (o)(3) of this
section is prohibited in the NEP area. We may 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.
(5) Note: Map of the NEP area for the boulder darter in the Shoal
Creek, Tennessee and Alabama, appears immediately following paragraph
(m)(6) of this section.
(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 Sec.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
[[Page 227]]
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.
(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.
(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 captive-breeding 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 experimental population
(NEP)? We have designated two populations of this species as NEPs: The
Tellico River 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 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,
[[Page 228]]
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.
(ii) 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.
(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 (q)(3) of this section, all the
prohibitions of Sec.17.31(a) and (b) apply to the duskytail darter.
(ii) Any manner of take not described under paragraph (q)(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
(q)(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 (q)(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.

Tellico River, Tennessee, appears immediately following paragraph (m)(5)
of this section.
(6) Note: Map of the NEP area for the duskytail darter in the French
Broad River and Holston River, Tennessee, appears immediately following
paragraph (m)(7) of this section.
(r) Smoky madtom (Noturus baileyi). (1) Where is the smoky madtom
designated as a nonessential experimental population (NEP)?
(i) The NEP area for the smoky madtom 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) and Tellico River mile 33 (52.8
kilometers), near the Tellico Ranger Station, Monroe County, Tennessee.
(ii) The smoky madtom is not currently known to exist in the Tellico
River 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
paragraph (r)(1)(i) of this
[[Page 229]]
section 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 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 (r)(3) of this section, all the
prohibitions of Sec.17.31(a) and (b) apply to the smoky madtom.
(ii) Any manner of take not described under paragraph (r)(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
(r)(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 (r)(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 smoky madtom in the Tellico
River, Tennessee, appears immediately following paragraph (m)(6) of this
section.
(s) Slender chub (Erimystax cahni). (1) Where is the slender chub
designated as a nonessential experimental population (NEP)?
(i) The NEP area for the slender chub 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.
(ii) The slender chub 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.
(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 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 (s)(3) of this section, all the
prohibitions of Sec.17.31(a) and (b) apply to the slender chub.
(ii) Any manner of take not described under paragraph (s)(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
(s)(2) of this section or in violation of the applicable State fish
[[Page 230]]
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 (s)(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 slender chub in the French
Broad River and Holston River, Tennessee, appears immediately following
paragraph (m)(7) of this section.
(t) Pygmy madtom (Noturus stanauli). (1) Where is the pygmy madtom
designated as a nonessential experimental population (NEP)?
(i) The NEP area for the pygmy madtom 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.
(ii) The pygmy madtom 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.
(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 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 (t)(3) of this section, all the
prohibitions of Sec.17.31(a) and (b) apply to the pygmy madtom.
(ii) Any manner of take not described under paragraph (t)(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
(t)(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 (t)(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.

(u) Rio Grande silvery minnow (Hybognathus amarus)--(1) Where are
populations of this fish designated as nonessential experimental
populations (NEP)?
(i) The NEP area for the Rio Grande silvery minnow is within the
species' historical range and is defined as follows: Rio Grande, from
Little Box Canyon downstream of Fort Quitman, Hudspeth County, Texas,
through Big Bend National Park and the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River,
to Amistad Dam; and on the Pecos River, from its confluence with
Independence Creek to its confluence with the Rio Grande.
(ii) The Rio Grande silvery minnow is not currently known to exist
in the Rio Grande or Pecos River in Texas. 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 this species move
upstream or downstream or into tributaries outside the designated NEP
area, we would presume that they came from the reestablished
populations. We would then amend paragraph (u)(1)(i) of this section to
enlarge the boundaries of the NEP to include the entire range of the
expanded population.
(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 this 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) A Rio
Grande silvery minnow may be taken within the NEP area, provided that
such take is either not willful, knowing, or due to negligence, or is
incidental to and not the purpose of the carrying out of an otherwise
lawful activity, such as recreation (e.g., fishing, boating, wading,
trapping, or swimming), agriculture, and other activities that are in
accordance with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. However,
Federal agencies, must consult under section 7 of the Act on their
activities that may affect the Rio Grande silvery minnow within Big Bend
National Park or the Wild and Scenic River.
(ii) Any person with a valid permit issued by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service) under 50 CFR 17.32 may take Rio Grande
silvery minnows for educational purposes, scientific purposes, the
enhancement of propagation or survival of the species, zoological
exhibition, and other conservation purposes consistent with the Act;
(iii) Any taking pursuant to paragraph (u)(2)(i) of this section
must be reported within 7 days by contacting the Service, Austin
Ecological Services Field Office, 107011 Burnet Road, Suite 200, Austin,
TX 78758; (512) 490-0057. Once the Service is contacted, a determination
will be made as to the disposition of any live or dead specimens.
Reporting requirements for take pursuant to paragraph (u)(2)(ii) of this
section will be specifically defined in the permit issued by the
Service.
(3) What take of this species is not allowed in the NEP area? (i)
Except as expressly allowed in paragraph (u)(2) of this section, all the
provisions of 50 CFR 17.31(a) and (b) apply to the fish identified in
paragraph (u)(1) of this section.
(ii) Any manner of take not described under paragraph (u)(2) 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 whatsoever any of the identified fishes,
or parts thereof, that are taken or possessed in violation of paragraph
(u)(3) of this section or in violation of the applicable State or local
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 (u)(3) of this
section.
(4) How will the effectiveness of the reestablishment be monitored?
(i) After the initial stocking of this fish, we will monitor their
presence or absence at least annually and document any spawning behavior
or young-of-year fish that might be present. Depending on available
resources, monitoring may occur more frequently, especially during the
first few years of reestablishment efforts. This monitoring will be
conducted primarily by seining and will be accomplished by Service,
National Park Service, or State employees or by contracting with the
appropriate species experts. Annual reports
[[Page 232]]
will be produced detailing stocking and monitoring activities that took
place during the previous year.
(ii) The Service will fully evaluate these reestablishment efforts
every 5 years to determine whether to continue or terminate them.
(iii) Note: Map of the NEP area for the Rio Grande silvery minnow in
Texas follows:

(v) Sonoran pronghorn (Antilocapra americana sonoriensis). (1) The
Sonoran pronghorn (Antilocapra americana sonoriensis) population
identified in paragraph (v)(12) of this section is a nonessential
experimental population (NEP).
(2) No person may take this species, except as provided in
paragraphs (v)(3) through (v)(6) of this section.
(3) Any person with a valid permit issued by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service under Sec.17.32 may take pronghorn within the NEP
area for scientific purposes, the enhancement of propagation or survival
of the species, and other conservation purposes consistent with the
Endangered Species Act.
(4) A Sonoran pronghorn may be taken within the boundaries of Yuma
Proving Grounds; Barry M. Goldwater Range; lands of the Arizona State
Land Department; Bureau of Land Management lands; privately owned lands;
and lands of the Tohono O'odham Nation, Colorado River Indian Tribes,
Gila River Indian Reservation, Ak-Chin Indian Reservation, Pascua Yaqui
Indian Reservation, and San Xavier Reservation within the NEP area,
provided that such take is incidental to, and not the purpose of,
carrying out any otherwise lawful activity; and provided that such
taking is reported as soon as possible in accordance with paragraph
(v)(6) of this section. Otherwise lawful activities are any activities
in compliance with applicable land management regulations, hunting
regulations, tribal law, and all other applicable law and regulations,
and include, but are not limited to, military training and testing,
border security and enforcement carried out by Federal law enforcement
officials (e.g., U.S. Customs and Border Protection), agriculture, rural
and urban development, livestock grazing, camping, hiking, hunting,
recreational vehicle use, sightseeing, nature or scientific study,
rockhounding, and geocaching, where such activities are permitted.
(5) Any employee or agent of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the
Arizona Department of Game and Fish, and the tribes listed in paragraph
(v)(4) of this section, who is designated for such purpose may, when
acting in the course of official duties, take a Sonoran pronghorn if
such action is necessary to:
(i) Aid a sick, injured, or orphaned Sonoran pronghorn, including
rescuing such animals from canals;
(ii) Dispose of a dead Sonoran pronghorn specimen, or salvage a dead
specimen that may be useful for scientific study;
(iii) Move a Sonoran pronghorn for genetic purposes or to improve
the health of the population; or
(iv) Capture and release a Sonoran pronghorn for relocation, to
collect biological data, or to attach, service, or detach radio-
telemetry equipment.
(6) Any taking pursuant to paragraphs (v)(3) through (v)(5) of this
section must be reported as soon as possible by 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
[[Page 234]]
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.
(13) Note: Map of the NEP area for the Sonoran pronghorn in
southwestern Arizona follows:

(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
[[Page 236]]
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
[[Page 237]]
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
Sec.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 Sec.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:
[[Page 238]]
(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.
(6) Note: Map of the NEP area for bull trout in Oregon follows:

(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
[[Page 240]]
(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.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR07MY14.002
(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
[[Page 241]]
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
[[Page 242]]
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.
(b) Sixteen mollusks in the French Broad and Holston Rivers. The
species in the following table comprise nonessential experimental
populations (NEP):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
(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:
[[Page 244]]
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 Sec.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.
(5) Note: Map of the NEP area in Tennessee for the 16 mollusks
listed in paragraph (b) of this section follows:

(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.
[[Page 246]]
(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
[[Page 247]]
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
[[Page 248]]
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.

Mariana Fruit Bat (Pteropus mariannus mariannus)
(1) The critical habitat unit for the Mariana fruit bat is depicted
for the Territory of Guam on the maps below.
(2) Within this area, the primary constituent elements required by
the Mariana fruit bat for the biological needs of foraging, sheltering,
roosting, and rearing of young are found in areas supporting limestone,
secondary, ravine, swamp, agricultural, and coastal forests composed of
native or introduced plant species. These forest types provide the
primary constituent elements of:
(i) Plant species used for foraging, such as Artocarpus sp.
(breadfruit), Carica papaya (papaya), Cycas circinalis (fadang), Ficus
spp. (fig), Pandanus tectorius (kafu), Cocos nucifera (coconut palm),
and Terminalia catappa (talisai); and
[[Page 253]]
(ii) Remote locations, often within 328 ft (100 m) of clifflines
that are 260 to 590 ft (80 to 100 m) tall, with limited exposure to
human disturbance; land that contains mature fig, Mammea odorata
(chopak), Casuarina equisetifolia (gago), Macaranga thompsonii (pengua),
Guettarda speciosa (panao), Neisosperma oppositifolia (fagot), and other
tree species that are used for roosting and breeding.
(3) Critical habitat does not include existing features and
structures within the boundaries of the mapped units, such as buildings,
roads, aqueducts, antennas, water tanks, agricultural fields, paved
areas, lawns, and other urban landscaped areas not containing one or
more of the primary constituent elements.

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[deg]), 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 inch-to-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[deg] N,
141.00533[deg] W) and extends along the coastline to a point southwest
of Hooper Bay (61.52859[deg] N, 166.15476[deg] W) on the western coast
of Alaska. The eastern boundary extends offshore approximately 85 km
(136 mi) from the coast (70.41526[deg] N, 141.0076[deg] W) at the United
States-Canada border and then follows the 300-m (984.2-ft) bathymetry
contour northwest until it intersects with the U.S. 200-nautical-mile

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
[[Page 261]]
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-ES-2011-0096, 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.

(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 over any 1-km\2\ (0.4-
mi\2\) area.
(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
April 4, 2014.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created using hydrography data, vegetation biomes, tree cover, terrain
ruggedness, elevation, Human Influence Index, and undisputed Class I
jaguar records from 1962 to September 11, 2013, and were then mapped
using Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates.

(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

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).

Choctawhatcee Beach Mouse (Peromyscus polionotus allophrys)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Okaloosa, Walton, and
Bay Counties, Florida, on the maps below.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the
Choctawhatchee 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
[[Page 294]]
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.

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:
[[Page 334]]
(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.
(5) Note: Index map of critical habitat for the Preble's meadow
jumping mouse follows:

St. Andrew Beach Mouse (Peromyscus polionotus peninsularis)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Bay and Gulf Counties,
Florida, on the maps below.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the St.
Andrew beach mouse are the habitat components that provide:
[[Page 352]]
(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) 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.
(4) Critical Habitat Map Units. Data layers defining map units were
created by delineating habitats that contained one or more of the
primary constituent elements defined in paragraph (2) of this entry over
1999 and 2004 digital ortho photography at a scale of at least 1:4000.

Northern Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris kenyoni), Southwest Alaska Distinct
Population Segment:
(1) Critical habitat units are in Alaska, as described below. The
index map provided is for informational purposes only.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the
southwest Alaska distinct population segment (DPS) of the northern sea
otter are:
[[Page 357]]
(i) Shallow, rocky areas where marine predators are less likely to
forage, which are in waters less than 2 m (6.6 ft) in depth;
(ii) Nearshore waters within 100 m (328.1 ft) from the mean high
tide line;
(iii) Kelp forests, which occur in waters less than 20 m (65.6 ft)
in depth; and
(iv) Prey resources within the areas identified in paragraphs
(2)(i), (2)(ii), and (2)(iii) of this entry that are present in
sufficient quantity and quality to support the energetic requirements of
the species.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (including,
but not limited to, docks, seawalls, pipelines, or other structures) and
the land on which they are located existing within the boundaries on the
effective date of this rule.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Boundaries of critical habitat were
derived from GIS data layers of hydrographic survey data developed by
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. To estimate the
size of each critical habitat unit, the data were projected into Alaska
Standard Albers Conical Equal Area on the North American Datum of 1983.
Given the large geographic range of this DPS, some two-dimensional areas
appear as one-dimensional features at these map scales.

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., Caesalpinia spp., 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 critical habitat units were
then mapped using Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates.

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
[[Page 371]]
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.; Elymus spp.) 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.

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[min] 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.
