Threatened and Endangered Species

SUMMARY: Between April 1, 2000 and September 30, 2000, Region 2 of the
Fish and Wildlife Service issued 31 permits for the incidental take of
threatened and endangered species, pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of
the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended. Of the 31 permits
issued, one is a Safe Harbor Agreement in Arizona, and the other 30 are
issued to Permittees in the greater Austin, Texas area; two are related
to the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve, golden-cheeked warbler (GCW) and
karst invertebrates, and 28 are for the Houston toad (HT). Copies of
the 31 permits and associated decision documents are available upon
request. In addition, between April 1, 2000 and September 30, 2000, two
permits had minor administrative amendments.

ADDRESSES: If you would like copies of any of the above documents,
please contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ecological Services,
P.O. Box 1306, Albuquerque, New Mexico.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 9 of the Act and Federal Regulation
prohibits the ``take'' of wildlife species listed as threatened or
endangered species. Under the Act, the term ``take'' means to harass,
harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect
listed wildlife, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. The
Service may, under limited circumstances, issue permits to authorize
incidental take, i.e. that is incidental to, and not the purpose of,
the carrying out of an otherwise lawful activity. Regulations governing
permits for endangered species are at 50 CFR 17.22.
