    [Docket No. FWS-HQ-IA-2020-0092; FXIA16710900000-190-FF09A30000]

    Endangered Species; Marine Mammals; Issuance of Permits

    AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

    ACTION: Notice of issuance of permits.

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

    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 Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA).

    ADDRESSES: Information about the applications for the permits listed in
    this notice is available online at www.regulations.gov. See
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for details.

    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brenda Tapia, by phone at 703-358-
    2185, via email at DMAFR@fws.gov, or via the Federal Relay Service at
    800-877-8339.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
    (Service), have issued permits to conduct certain activities with
    endangered and threatened species in response to permit applications
    that we received under the authority of section 10(a)(1)(A) of the
    Endangered Species Act of 1973 (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 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.

    Availability of Documents

        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
    for the appropriate permit number (e.g., 12345C) provided in the
