Emergency Exemption: Issuance

On November 8, 1994, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service)

issued a permit (PRT-796422) to S.O.S. Care, San Diego, California, to

import (and eventually reexport) up to three newborn captive-born

tigrina (Felis tigrina) from the Conservation Project at the Sao Paulo

Zoo, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The 30-day public comment period required by

section 10(c) of the Endangered Species Act was waived. The Service

determined that an emergency affecting the survival of the tigrina

kittens existed and that no reasonable alternative was available to the

applicant. The tigrina kittens needed immediate medical attention in

order to survive since the mother had rejected them before the 30-day

comment period elapsed.

Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Management Authority, 4401 North
