On January 12, 1995, an application was received by NMFS from the
Army Corps of Engineers, Waterways Experiment Station, for an extension
to Permit 777 which authorizes the take of listed sea turtle species as
authorized by the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531-
1543) and the NMFS regulations governing listed fish and wildlife
permits (50 CFR parts 217-222).
Notice is hereby given that on February 17, 1995, as authorized by
the provisions of the ESA, NMFS issued an Extension to Permit Number
777 for the above taking, subject to certain conditions set forth
therein.
Issuance of this permit extension, as required by the ESA, was
based on a finding that such permit extension: (1) Was applied for in
good faith; (2) will not operate to the disadvantage of the listed
species which are the subject of the permit; (3) is consistent with the
purposes and policies set forth in section 2 of the ESA. This permit
extension was also issued in accordance [[Page 10359]] with and is
subject to parts 217-222 of Title 50 CFR, the NMFS regulations
governing listed species permits.
The application, permit, and supporting documentation are available
for review by interested persons in the following offices, by
