Emergency Exemption: Issuance

    On November 8, 1994, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) 
issued a permit (PRT-796422) to S.O.S. Care, San Diego, California, to 
import (and eventually reexport) up to three newborn captive-born 
tigrina (Felis tigrina) from the Conservation Project at the Sao Paulo 
Zoo, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The 30-day public comment period required by 
section 10(c) of the Endangered Species Act was waived. The Service 
determined that an emergency affecting the survival of the tigrina 
kittens existed and that no reasonable alternative was available to the 
applicant. The tigrina kittens needed immediate medical attention in 
order to survive since the mother had rejected them before the 30-day 
comment period elapsed.

Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Management Authority, 4401 North 
Fairfax Drive, Room 432, Arlington, Virginia 22203 and must be received 
by the Director within 30 days of the date of this publication.
    Documents and other information submitted with these applications 
are available for review, subject to the requirements of the Privacy
