authorized by the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531-
1543) and the NMFS regulations governing listed fish and wildlife 
permits (50 CFR parts 217-222).
    Notice is hereby given that on February 17, 1995, as authorized by 
the provisions of the ESA, NMFS issued an Extension to Permit Number 
777 for the above taking, subject to certain conditions set forth

good faith; (2) will not operate to the disadvantage of the listed 
species which are the subject of the permit; (3) is consistent with the 
purposes and policies set forth in section 2 of the ESA. This permit 
extension was also issued in accordance [[Page 10359]] with and is 
subject to parts 217-222 of Title 50 CFR, the NMFS regulations
