			<p type="1">The public is invited to comment on the following
				applications for permits to conduct certain activities with
				endangered and threatened species pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(A) of
				the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et
				seq. ). This notice is provided under section 10(c) of the Act. If
				you wish to comment, you may submit comments by any one of the
				following methods. You may mail comments to the Fish and Wildlife
				Service's Regional Office (see ADDRESSES section) or via electronic
				mail (e-mail) to david_dell@fws.gov . Please include your name and
				return address in your e-mail message. If you do not receive a
				confirmation from the Fish and Wildlife Service that we have
				received your e-mail message, contact us directly at the telephone
				number listed above (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section).
				Finally, you may hand deliver comments to the Fish and Wildlife
				Service office listed above (see ADDRESSES section).</p>
			<p type="1">Before including your address, telephone number, e-mail
				address, or other personal identifying information in your comments,
				you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal
				identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time.
				While you can ask us in your comments to withhold your personal
				identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that
				we will be able to do so. There may also be other circumstances in
				which we would withhold from the administrative record a
				respondent's identity, as allowable by law. If you wish us to
				withhold your name and address, you must state this prominently at
				the beginning of your comments. We will not, however, consider
				anonymous comments. We will make all submissions from organizations
				or businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as
				representatives or officials of organizations or businesses,
				available for public inspection in their entirety.</p>
