Oppose Receipt of Permit Application

What the proposal said, and what the decision did

No figure from the proposal has been checked against the decision on this fight yet. What the record does hold is the issues ledger below.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has received an application for a permit to conduct activities involving foreign endangered species listed under the Endangered Species Act. The ESA normally prohibits such activities without federal authorization, and the agency is required to invite public comment before issuing any permit. Conservation professionals and the public can weigh in on whether the permit should be granted.

In the agency’s own words

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), invite the public to comment on an application to conduct certain activities with foreign species that are listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). With some exceptions, the ESA prohibits activities with listed species unless Federal authorization is issued that allows such activities. The ESA also requires that we invite public comment before issuing permits for any activity otherwise prohibited by the ESA with respect to any endangered species.

Who signs it

The notice names no signer PLAN could read. PLAN names a decision-maker only when the document names one.

The ground

The window has closed, so there’s no watch to set on it here.

In court on this ground

This fight isn’t bound to a land unit in PLAN’s record yet, so there are no court cases to show for its ground.

Who holds the vote

PLAN’s record doesn’t tie a member of Congress to this fight yet. The scorecard grades the votes and bills that decide public lands; nothing joins a vote or a bill to this decision, so there’s no member to name here without guessing.
