Common use of Suspension or Revocation of a Permit by the Service Clause in Contracts

Suspension or Revocation of a Permit by the Service. The Service may suspend or revoke either Enhancement of Survival Permit for cause in accordance with the laws and regulations in force at the time, including, but not limited to, 50 CFR Sections 13.27, 13.28, 17.22(d)(7), and 17.32(d)(7). The Service may exercise its authority to suspend or revoke the Permit if continuation of the permitted activity would appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery in the wild of any listed species, directly or indirectly alter designated critical habitat such that it would appreciably diminish the value of that critical habitat for both the survival and recovery of a listed species, or contribute to the potential for future listing. Before revoking a permit, the Service, with the consent of KDWP and in coordination with the affected Cooperators, will pursue all appropriate options to avoid permit revocation. These options may include, but are not limited to, extending or modifying the existing permit, capturing and relocating the species, compensating the affected Cooperator(s) to forgo an activity, purchasing an easement or fee simple interest in the affected property(ies) from a willing landowner, or arranging for a third- party acquisition of a fee simple interest in the affected property(ies) from a willing landowner.
