    The applicant has applied for a permit to export/reexport up to 100

Emergency Exemption: Issuance
    On December 9, 1994, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) 
issued a permit (PRT-797139) to Wildlife Waystation, San Fernando, 
California, to import a pair of captive born adult tigers (Panthera 
tigris) and a pair of captive born tiger (Panthera tigris) cubs from 
the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. 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 tigers existed and that no reasonable 
alternative was available to the applicant. The Irish authorities 
intended to euthanize the tigers before the 30-day comment period 
elapsed.
