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

ADDRESSES: Information about the applications for the permits listed in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 
(Service), have issued permits to conduct certain activities with 
endangered and threatened species and marine mammals in response to 
permit applications that we received under the authority of section 
10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ESA; (16 U.S.C. 1531 
et seq.)
    After considering the information submitted with each permit 
application and the public comments received, we issued the requested 
permits subject to

[[Page 14969]]

certain conditions set forth in each permit. For each application for 
an endangered species, we found that (1) the application was filed in 
good faith, (2) the granted permit would not operate to the 
disadvantage of the endangered species, and (3) the granted permit 
would be consistent with the purposes and policy set forth in section 2 
of the ESA.

    The permittees' original permit application materials, along with 
public comments we received during public comment periods for the 
applications, are available for review. To locate the application 
materials and received comments, go to www.regulations.gov and search
