Sec. 1002.5  Research specimens.



    (a) Taking plants, fish, wildlife, rocks or minerals except in 

accordance with other regulations of this chapter or pursuant to the 

terms and conditions of a specimen collection permit, is prohibited.

    (b) A specimen collection permit may be issued only to an official 

representative of a reputable scientific or educational institution or a 

State or Federal agency for the purpose of research, baseline 

inventories, monitoring, impact analysis, group study, or museum display 

when the Executive Director determines that the collection is necessary 

to the stated scientific or resource management goals of the institution 

or agency and that all applicable Federal and State permits have been 

acquired, and that the intended use of the specimens and their final 

disposal is in accordance with applicable law and Federal administrative 

policies. A permit shall not be issued if removal of the specimen would 

result in damage to other natural or cultural resources, affect 

adversely environmental or scenic values, or if the specimen is readily 

available outside of the area administered by the Presidio Trust.

    (c) A permit to take an endangered or threatened species listed 

pursuant to the Endangered Species Act, or similarly identified by the 

States, shall not be issued unless the species cannot be obtained 

outside of the area administered by the Presidio Trust and the primary 

purpose of the collection is to enhance the protection or management of 

the species.

    (d) A permit authorizing the killing of plants, fish or wildlife may 

be issued only when the Executive Director approves a written research 

proposal and determines that the collection will not be inconsistent 

with the purposes of the Presidio Trust Act and has the potential for 

conserving and perpetuating the species subject to collection.

    (e) Specimen collection permits shall contain the following 

conditions:

    (1) Specimens placed in displays or collections will bear official 

National Park Service museum labels and their catalog numbers will be 

registered in the National Park Service National Catalog.

    (2) Specimens and data derived from consumed specimens will be made 

available to the public and reports and publications resulting from a 

research specimen collection permit shall be filed with the Executive 

Director.

    (f) Violation of the terms and conditions of a permit issued in 

accordance with this section is prohibited and may result in the 

suspension or revocation of the permit.
