SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Public Comment Procedures

A. How do I comment on submitted applications?

    You may submit your comments and materials by one of the methods 
listed under Submitting Comments in ADDRESSES. We will not consider 
comments sent by email or fax, or to an address not in ADDRESSES. We 
will not consider or include in our administrative record comments we 
receive after the close of the comment period (see DATES).
    Please make your requests or comments as specific as possible, 
confine your comments to issues for which we seek comments in this 
notice, and explain the basis for your comments. Include sufficient 
information with your comments to allow us to authenticate any 
scientific or commercial data you include. The comments and 
recommendations that will be most useful and likely to influence agency 
decisions are: (1) Those supported by quantitative information or 
studies; and (2) those that include citations to, and analyses of, the 
applicable laws and regulations.

B. May I review comments submitted by others?

    As described in ADDRESSES, the applications, as well as any 
comments we receive, will be available for public inspection online at 
http://www.regulations.gov. Comments may also be viewed in person at 
the specified address; to make an appointment, contact the person 
listed in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

C. Who will see my comments?

    If you submit a comment via http://www.regulations.gov, your entire 
comment, including any personal identifying information, will be posted 
on the website. If you submit a hardcopy comment that includes personal 
identifying information, such as your address, phone number, or email 
address, you may request at the top of your document that we withhold 
this information from public review. However, we cannot guarantee that 
we will be able to do so.

II. Background

    With some exceptions, the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), prohibits activities with listed 
species unless Federal authorization is acquired that allows such 
activities. Permits under section 10 of the ESA allow activities for 
scientific purposes or to enhance the propagation or survival of the 
affected species. To help us carry out our conservation 
responsibilities for affected species, and in consideration of section 
10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA, we invite public comment on these permit 
applications before final action is taken.

III. Permit Applications

    We invite public comment on the following permit applications. 
Please reference the applicant and the permit number in your comments.

Diego, CA; Permit No. 93218C

panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) to the China Conservation and Research

This notification is for a single re-export.

CA; Permit No. 76759C

black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) to the Singita Grumet Fund, Mugumu,

listed in this notice, we will publish a notice in the Federal 
Register. You may locate the Federal Register notice announcing the
