[Nhcoll-l] COSE delays

[Paul R Sweet]

HI Laura

Typically USFWS permits can be used past the expiration date if the application has been submitted 30 days prior to expiration. Do you know if this rule also applies to COSE?

Thanks, Paul

EXTERNAL SENDER


The Ornithological Council is hearing about significant delays in getting COSEs renewed. I've been in touch with the USFWS and am working to put together a list of pending COSE renewals, so they can check on the status. To be added to my list, please contact me (laurabiesoc at gmail.com<mailto:laurabiesoc at gmail.com>) with the institution name and location, permit reference number, contact info (email and phone), and date renewal submitted. It's important that I provide the USFWS with contacts for each institution; due to privacy issues, they have to reply directly to the institutions and not to me.

Please share with other institutions who may not be in this group. The more evidence we can pull together about delays in processing, the better. On that note, if your COSE was recently renewed, but took a long time, I'd be interested in that, too.

Thanks!
