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.
