purposes and policies set forth in section 2 of the ESA. Authority to
take listed species is subject to conditions set forth in the permits.
Permits and modifications are issued in accordance with and are subject
to the ESA and NMFS regulations governing listed fish and wildlife
permits (50 CFR parts 222-226).

this notice should set out the specific reasons why a hearing on that
application would be appropriate (see ADDRESSES). The holding of such
