<p><span style="color:black">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 (<a href="mailto:laurabiesoc@gmail.com">laurabiesoc@gmail.com</a>) with the institution name and location, p</span><span style="color:#242424">ermit reference number, </span><span style="color:black">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
