Society. 2016. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C. Emergency Exemption On May 2, 2016, the Service issued a permit (PRT-94614B) to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Austwell, Texas, to import four viable eggs from captive-bred whooping crane (Grus americana) for the purpose of enhancement of the survival of the species. This action was authorized under Section 10(c) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The Service determined that an emergency affecting the health and viability of the whooping crane eggs existed, and that no reasonable alternative was available to the applicant for the following reason: The Service's Whooping Crane Coordinator requested a permit to import these fertile eggs from the Calgary Zoo in Alberta, Canada, due to the ongoing 30-day comment period that their existing import permit (PRT- [[Page 27171]] 013808) was undergoing. Not being able to import these eggs by early May 2016 under their existing permit would cause undue hardship on the species recovery program, forcing Calgary Zoo to consider culling the eggs. If shipped, the eggs will be hatched and the chicks will be raised at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Laurel, Maryland, with the chicks ultimately being reintroduced into Southwest Louisiana as part of an ongoing recovery project.
