About this file
This document outlines the current permitting process map for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The map details the 25 step process for reviewing, approving, and issuing permits from initial application to final permit. Key steps include reviewing applications and assigning a processor, requesting and receiving any missing documents, conducting application reviews that can take between 2 weeks to 6 months, preparing for external reviews from other federal agencies as needed, recommending approval or denial, setting up and reviewing approved permits, and finally issuing permits by mail or email. Relatedly, the federal contract opportunity posted by the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service seeks consulting services to improve their permitting process in Falls Church, Virginia.
