The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is inviting public comments on permit applications for certain activities involving foreign species listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). These activities typically require Federal authorization but can be permitted for scientific research or to help the species survive. Public comments are accepted until April 30, 2025, and can be submitted online or by mail as detailed in the document. The notice includes various applications, such as importing biological samples for research and exporting live animals for species propagation, which are open for public reviewing and commenting.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is asking people to share their thoughts on special requests to do things with animals from other countries that are in danger of disappearing, like studying them or helping them have babies, and these thoughts need to be shared by the end of April 2025.
