SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 13, 2016 (81 FR 21892), we published a notice inviting 
public comment on permit applications for certain activities with 
endangered species authorized by section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Act (16 
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and our regulations governing the taking of 
endangered species in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 
part 17. The notice did not accurately describe all of the 
applications. The errors were not in the application materials 
themselves, but only in our previous Federal Register notice. If you 
requested documents for review, you need not request them again. If you 
submitted comments, you need not resubmit them.
