Applications; Correction

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability of permit applications; request for 
comments; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, correct errors in a 
recently published notice that announced the availability of permit 
applications for public comment. The notice did not accurately describe 
all of the applications. However, if you requested documents for 
review, you need not request them again, because the errors were not in 
the application materials themselves, but only in our previous Federal 
Register notice. Therefore, if you submitted comments, you need not 
resubmit them.

DATES: To ensure consideration, written comments must be received on or 
before May 13, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments by U.S. mail to the Regional Director, 
Attn: Carlita Payne, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ecological 
Services, 5600 American Blvd. West, Suite 990, Bloomington, MN 55437-
1458; or by electronic mail to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carlita Payne, (612) 713-5343.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 13, 2016 (81 FR 21892), we published a notice inviting 
public comment on permit applications for certain activities with 
endangered species authorized by section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Act (16 
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and our regulations governing the taking of 
endangered species in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 
part 17. The notice did not accurately describe all of the 
applications. The errors were not in the application materials 
themselves, but only in our previous Federal Register notice. If you 
requested documents for review, you need not request them again. If you 
submitted comments, you need not resubmit them.
