This affects people and organizations that apply for or report on federal wildlife permits, including researchers, conservation groups, businesses, and public agencies working with protected species. The notice does not change the endangered species rules themselves. It asks the public to comment on the proposed information collection, including whether the forms are necessary, clear, and not overly burdensome. Comments are due by August 3, 2026, through Regulations.gov or by mail using docket number FWS-HQ-ES-2026-1124.
