    The following applicants have applied for a permit to conduct 
certain activities with endangered species. This notice is provided 
pursuant to section 10(c) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 
amended (16 U.S.C. 1531, et seq.):
    Applicant: Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage, Palm Beach Gardens, FL.,

    The applicant requests a permit to import a female chimpanzee which 
originated in Zaire, Africa, and is now located in Haiti and 
immediately export it to Zambia, Africa, to the Chimfunshi Wildlife 
Orphanage which specializes in rehabilitating and reintroducing 
orphaned chimpanzees to social groups. Due to the current political and 
economic situation in Haiti, in accordance with section 10(c) of the 
Endangered Species Act, the Fish and Wildlife Service reserves the 
right to issue this permit during the 30 day comment period in the 
event that the current owners of this chimpanzee must leave the country 
on short notice and the health or life of this chimpanzee would 
therefore become threatened.
