Fish and Wildlife Service, General Provisions and General Permit Procedures

This proposed rule amends the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) general permit procedures providing uniform rules, conditions, and procedures relating to the application, issuance, denial, suspension, revocation, and general administration of the Service permit program. This revision of the Service's general permit procedures is intended to more clearly explain the procedures for permit application and the criteria used by the Service in making issuance determinations. This revision provides regulations that establish qualitative eligibility factors and provides standards for the fair disqualification of inappropriate applicants. This revision also effects the Service criteria for suspension and revocation of permits and the procedures for appealing the denial, suspension, or revocation of permits. The processing fee rate for a permit application is also amended to provide for increased rates to recover a larger percentage of the costs of processing the permits and to provide for fee exemptions for several permit categories. The Service is also revising its regulations prescribing its general procedures and its regulations implementing the Endangered Species Act of 1973 in order
