Good afternoon, We are pleased to announce the launch of our redesigned Incidental Take webpage <http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/permits/incidental.htm>. In this major redesign, we've made it easier to: - apply for authorizations, with new detailed instructions for potential applicants - find application status (i.e., in process, active, withdrawn, or expired) - search by sector (i.e., oil and gas, other energy, military, construction, and research and other) for current and past authorizations We hope this revision helps better explain our Incidental Take Program, and enables you to more easily apply for, or review, incidental take authorizations. If you have suggestions for improvement or still can't find what you're looking for, please contact our webmaster at pr.webmaster@noaa.gov. Best regards, Jonathan Shannon *Outreach Specialist* NOAA Fisheries Office of Protected Resources U.S. Department of Commerce Office: 301-427-8431 jonathan.shannon@noaa.gov *Webhttp://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/pr/ <http://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/pr/>Facebookwww.facebook.com/noaafisheries <http://www.facebook.com/noaafisheries>Twitterwww.twitter.com/noaafisherie <http://www.twitter.com/noaafisheries>sYouTubewww.youtube.com/usnoaafisheriesgov <http://www.youtube.com/usnoaafisheriesgov> *
