SUMMARY: On February 13, 1996, a notice was published in the Federal

Fish and Wildlife Service by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries 
and Wildlife, for a permit to incidentally take, pursuant to Section 
10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 USC 1539), as 
amended, piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) on Massachusetts beaches 
pursuant to the implementation of the Conservation Plan for piping 
plovers in Massachusetts.
    Notice is hereby given that on April 12, 1996, as authorized by the 
provisions of the Act, the Service issued a permit (PRT-813653), to the

as amended.
