[Nhcoll-l] USFWS CITES permits

[Sarah K. Huber]

Is anyone else having difficulty getting their COSE and ESA permits renewed? I submitted our renewal in March of 2022, and did not receive a response until May of 2023. During the interim period I emailed USFWS multiple times to check on the status of our renewal, but never received replies. In May I received an email asking me to resubmit cover pages with physical signatures (even though the instructions in March of 2022 required me to submit electronic signatures). It's been over a month now and the only reply I've received from USFWS is that it is on someone else's desk awaiting review. I've been waiting 15 months now for a renewal.
