# Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Permit Applications; Correction
**AGENCY:**
Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
**ACTION:**
Notice of availability of permit applications; request for comments; correction.
**SUMMARY:**
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, correct errors in a recently published notice that announced the availability of permit applications for public comment. The notice did not accurately describe all of the applications. However, if you requested documents for review, you need not request them again, because the errors were not in the application materials themselves, but only in our previous *Federal Register* notice. Therefore, if you submitted comments, you need not resubmit them.
**DATES:**
To ensure consideration, written comments must be received on or before May 13, 2016.
**ADDRESSES:**
Send written comments by U.S. mail to the Regional Director, Attn: Carlita Payne, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ecological Services, 5600 American Blvd. West, Suite 990, Bloomington, MN 55437-1458; or by electronic mail to *[email protected].*

**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.
**Corrections**
We make the following corrections to the following permit descriptions in the Permit Applications section of the original April 13, 2016, notice:
*Permit TE206781* (applicant: Ecological Specialists, Inc., O'Fallon, MO): On page 21892, column 3, add Texas to the list of States.
*Permit TE38821A* (applicant: Stantec Consulting Services, Louisville, KY): On page 21893, add “Elktoe, Cumberland . . . . *Alasmidonta atropurpurea”* to the list of species in the second table, and add Colorado and Wyoming to the list of States in column 3.
*Permit TE06873B* (applicant Andrew Carson, Cincinnati, OH): On page 21894, column 3, remove Texas from the list of States, and add Louisiana and Mississippi to the list of States.

These are applications for first-time permits.
*Permit TE02373A* (applicant: Environmental Solutions and Innovations, Inc., Cincinnati, OH): On page 21897, column 1, add 27 States to the list of areas covered by the proposed permit.
*Permit TE08603A* (applicant: Michelle Malcosky, Hudson, OH): On page 21897, column 2, add Ohio to the list of States.
