II. Background

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

To help us carry out our conservation
responsibilities for affected species, and
in consideration of section 10(c) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
we invite public comments on permit
applications before final action is taken.
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits certain activities with listed
species unless Federal authorization is
issued that allows such activities.
Permits issued under section 10(a)(1)(A)
of the ESA allow otherwise prohibited
activities for scientific purposes or to
enhance the propagation or survival of
the affected species. Service regulations
regarding prohibited activities with
endangered species, captive-bred
wildlife registrations, and permits for
any activity otherwise prohibited by the
ESA with respect to any endangered
species are available in title 50 of the
Code of Federal Regulations in part 17.

National Park Service

III. Permit Application
We invite comments on the following
application.
Applicant: Colossal Biosciences, Inc.,
Austin, TX; Permit No. PER5525559
The applicant requests authorization
to import biological specimens from
captive-born animals of all species
listed under the ESA originating from
various foreign facilities, for the purpose
of scientific research. This notification
covers activities to be conducted by the
applicant over a 5-year period.
IV. Next Steps

You may view and comment on
others’ public comments at https://
www.regulations.gov unless our
allowing so would violate the Privacy
Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) or Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552).

85301

After the comment period closes, we
will make decisions regarding permit
issuance. If we issue permits to the
applicant listed in this notice, we will
publish a notice in the Federal Register.
You may locate the notice announcing
the permit issuance by searching
https://www.regulations.gov for the
permit number listed above in this
document. For example, to find
information about the potential issuance
of Permit No. 12345A, you would go to

provide the general public and other

public understand our information

requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting

especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of

performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used.
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
