SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), have issued 
the following permits to conduct certain activities with endangered 
species, marine mammals, or both. We issue these permits under the 
Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Marine Mammal Protection Act 
(MMPA).

applications are available for review, subject to the requirements of 
the Privacy Act and Freedom of Information Act, by any party who 
submits a written request for a copy of such documents to the U.S. Fish 
and Wildlife Service, Division of Management Authority, Branch of 
Permits, MS: IA, 5275 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, VA 22041; fax (703)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On the dates below, as authorized by the 
provisions of the ESA, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and/or the 
Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et

would not operate to the disadvantage of the endangered species, and

set forth in section 2 of the ESA.
