PRT-058006

Applicant: Roger Williams Park Zoo, Providence, RI.

    The applicant requests a permit to import ten parma wallabies 
(Macropus parma) from the feral population on Kawau Island, New 
Zealand, for the purpose of enhancement of the survival of the species 
through captive propagation. The parma wallaby was introduced to Kawau 
Island and is subject to eradication efforts by the New Zealand 
government. The import of these animals would serve as an alternative 
to extermination and introduce new founder stock into captive breeding 
efforts. The animals would be maintained at Brevard Zoo, Buffalo Zoo, 
Riverbanks Zoo, Roger Williams Park Zoo, and San Diego Zoo.

Commission of the IUCN, San Diego, CA.

    The applicant requests re-issuance of a permit for the import of 
multiple shipments of biological samples from captive-bred, captive-
held and wild specimens of endangered and threatened Cyclura species, 
worldwide. The permit was originally issued on February 18, 1999. This 
notification covers activities conducted by the applicant over a period 
of 5 years.

PRT-061693

    The applicant requests a permit to import the sport-hunted trophy 
of one male bontebok (Damaliscus pygargus dorcas) culled from a captive 
herd

maintained under the management program of the Republic of South Africa 
for the purpose of enhancement of the survival of the species.

purpose of scientific research. This notification covers activities 
conducted by the applicant over a period of 5 years.
    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has information collection 
approval from OMB through March 31, 2004, OMB Control Number 1018-0093. 
Federal Agencies may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not
