Abstract: This information collection 

covers permit applications and reports 

that our Division of Management 

Authority uses to determine the 

eligibility of applicants for permits 

requested in accordance with the 

criteria in various Federal wildlife 

conservation laws and international 

treaties, including: 

• Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.). 

• Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 

U.S.C. 703 et seq.). 

• Lacey Act (16 U.S.C. 3371 et seq.). 

• Bald and Golden Eagle Protection 

Act (16 U.S.C. 668). 

• Convention on International Trade 

in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna 

and Flora (CITES) (27 U.S.T. 1087). 

• Marine Mammal Protection Act (16 

U.S.C. 1361–1407 et seq.). 

• Wild Bird Conservation Act (16 

U.S.C. 4901–4916 et seq.). 

Service regulations implementing 

these statutes and treaties are in Chapter 

I, Subchapter B of Title 50, Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR). These 

regulations stipulate general and 

specific requirements that when met 

allow us to issue permits to authorize 

activities that are otherwise prohibited. 

In addition to the forms and reports 

currently approved under OMB Control 

No. 1018–0093, this revised ICR 

includes: 

• FWS Forms 3–200–74 (Single-Use 

Export Permits Under a Master File or 

Annual Program File) and 3–200–75 

(Registration of a Production Facility for 

Export of Certain Native Species). These 

forms are currently approved under 

OMB Control Number 1018–0137. If 

OMB approves this ICR, we will 

discontinue 1018–0137. 

• Four new forms that we believe will 

reduce burden on applicants, improve 

customer service, and allow us to 

process applications and issue CITES 

documents quickly: 

(1) FWS Form 3–200–80 (Export of 

Fertilized Live Eggs, Caviar, or Meat 

from Aquacultured Paddlefish or 

Sturgeon (CITES)). Applicants currently 

use FWS Form 3–200–24 or 3–200–76 

for this activity. 

(2) FWS Form 3–200–85 (Master File 

for the Export of Live Captive-bred 

Animals (CITES)). Applicants currently 

use FWS Form 3–200–24 for this 

activity. 

(3) FWS Form 3–200–86 (Photography 

of Marine Mammals for Educational or 

Commercial Purposes (MMPA)). 

Applicants currently use FWS Form 3– 

200–43 for this activity. 

(4) FWS Form 3–200–87 (Transfer of 

Live Captive-held Marine Mammals 

(MMPA)). Applicants currently submit 

letters for notification or authorization. 

Comments: On August 31, 2010, we 

published in the Federal Register (75 

FR 53328) a notice of our intent to 

request that OMB approve this 

information collection. In that notice, 

we solicited comments for 60 days, 

ending on November 1, 2010. We 

received one comment. The comment 

did not address issues surrounding the 

proposed collection of information or 

the cost and hour burden estimates, but 

did object to other aspects of our 

permitting program and the killing of 

wildlife. We have not made any changes 

to this collection as a result of the 

comment. The commenter did question 

the groups that we included under the 

heading ‘‘Affected Public’’ in our 

previous Federal Register notice and 

stated that the entire U.S. public and 

animal protection groups are affected by 

this information collection. The groups 

listed under this heading were potential 

respondents. To ensure clarity, we have 

changed the heading title to 

‘‘Description of Respondents.’’ 

We again invite comments concerning 

this information collection on: 

• Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary, including 

whether or not the information will 

have practical utility; 

• The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information; 

• Ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. Before including your 

address, phone number, e-mail address, 

or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment, including your personal 

identifying information, may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask OMB in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that it will be done.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The National Wildlife Refuge System 

Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 

668dd–668ee) (Administration Act) and 

the Refuge Recreation Act of 1962 (16 

U.S.C. 460k–460k–4) (Recreation Act) 

govern the administration and uses of 

national wildlife refuges and wetland 

management districts. The 

Administration Act consolidated all of 

the different refuge areas into a single 

National Wildlife Refuge System 

(System). It also authorizes us to permit 

public accommodations, including 

commercial visitor services, on lands of 

the System when we find that the 

activity is compatible and appropriate 

with the purpose for which the refuge 

was established. The Recreation Act 

allows the use of refuges for public 

recreation when it is not inconsistent or 

does not interfere with the primary 

purpose(s) of the refuge. 

In our general refuge regulations, we 

provide for public entry for specialized 

purposes, including economic activities 

such as the operation of guiding and 

other visitor services on refuges by 

concessionaires or cooperators under 

the appropriate legal instrument or 

special use permits (50 CFR 25.41, 

25.61, 26.36, 27.71, 27.91, 27.97, 29.1, 

29.2, 30.11, 31.2, 31.13, 31.14, 31.16, 

32.2(1), 36.31, 36.32, 36.33, 36.37, 

36.39, and 36.41, and 43 CFR 5). These 

regulations provide the authorities and 

procedures for allowing permits on 

refuges. 

Previously, we used FWS Form 

3–1383 (Special Use Application and 

Permit) for all activities. However, 

experience has indicated that some 

types of activities, such as commercial 

use or research, require that we collect 

detailed information on the specific 

activity so that we can more effectively 

manage the numerous uses being 

conducted on System lands. 

We are proposing to use three forms 

as applications for Special Use Permits: 

(1) FWS Form 3–1383. We will use 

this form for the majority of activities 

including, but not limited to: 

• Special events, such as fishing 

tournaments. 

• Personal events, such as weddings. 

• Beneficial management activities, 

such as wood cutting or rotational 

grazing, that we use to provide the best 

habitat possible on some refuges. 

• Group visits and other one-time 

events. 

(2) FWS Form 3–XXXX (Commercial 

Special Use Application and Permit). 

We will use this form for commercial 

activities including, but not limited to: 

• Recreational visitor service 

operations. 

• Commercial filming. 

• Agricultural activities. 

• Guiding for fishing, hunting, 

wildlife education, and interpretation. 

• Building and using cabins to 

support subsistence or commercial 

activities (in Alaska). 

(3) FWS Form 3–YYYY (Research 

Special Use Application and Permit). 

We will use this form to authorize 

research and monitoring activities on a 

refuge. 

We plan to collect the following 

information. However, not all 

information will have to be provided, 

depending on the permit and specific 

activity: 

• Type of activity/project. 

• Identifying data (such as, name, 

business, or principal investigator, title, 

organization or affiliation, address, 

telephone number, and e-mail address). 

• Whether the request is for a new 

permit or renewal or modification of an 

existing permit. 

• Description, frequency and time 

line of the activity/project. 

• Location/map. 

• Assistants/subpermittees. 

• Description of how the activity/ 

project will help the refuge fulfill its 

purpose (FWS Form 3–YYYY). 

• Insurance coverage. 

• Licenses/permits required. 

• Support/subcontractors used to 

support the activity. 

• Equipment/gear and materials. 

• Whether or not the activity requires 

overnight stay. 

• Transportation logistics and 

requirements. 

• Descriptions of work and living 

accommodations. 

• Number of clients and/or 

participants. 

• Certifications. 

• Tax ID number or Social Security 

Number (FWS Form 3–XXXX). 

• Whether or not an applicant or 

subpermittee has been convicted of a 

felony, or issued a national wildlife 

refuge notice of violation. If yes, 

applicant must provide details and 

court action taken (FWS Form 3– 

XXXX). 

• Trip schedule(s). 

• Curriculum Vitae or resume of 

principal researcher (FWS Form 3– 

YYYY). 

• Relationship of principal researcher 

to affiliation/organization (such as 

professor, staff, student, etc) (FWS Form 

3–YYYY). 

• Full proposal of the planned 

research (FWS Form 3–YYYY). 

• Description of how project will 

benefit the management of the refuge 

including how the project may benefit 

the management of threatened or 

endangered species (FWS Form 3– 

YYYY). 

Some permits may require submission 

of: 

• Interim and final reports. 

• Safety plans. 

• Operational plans. 

• Minimum Requirements Decision 

Assessment for activities/projects 

requested in wilderness areas. 

• Assurance of Animal Care Form (or 

equivalent) for research involving 

animals. 

• Before and after photograph of site.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

With this notice, we initiate our 

process for developing a CCP for 

Bandon Marsh, Nestucca Bay, and Siletz 

Bay National Wildlife Refuges in Coos, 

Tillamook, and Lincoln Counties, 

Oregon. This notice complies with our 

CCP policy to (1) advise other Federal 

and State agencies, Tribes, and the 

public of our intention to conduct 

detailed planning on these refuges, and 

(2) obtain suggestions and information 

on the scope of issues to consider in the 

environmental document and during 

development of the CCP. 

Background 

The CCP Process 

The National Wildlife Refuge System 

Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 

668dd–668ee) (Refuge Administration 

Act), as amended by the National 

Wildlife Refuge System Improvement 

Act of 1997, requires us to develop a 

CCP for each national wildlife refuge. 

The purpose for developing a CCP is to 

provide refuge managers with a 15-year 

plan for achieving refuge purposes and 

contributing toward the mission of the 

National Wildlife Refuge System, 

consistent with sound principles of fish 

and wildlife management, conservation, 

legal mandates, and our policies. We 

will review and update the CCP at least 

every 15 years in accordance with the 

Refuge Administration Act. 

Each unit of the National Wildlife 

Refuge System was established for 

specific purposes. These purposes are 

the foundation for developing and 

prioritizing the conservation and 

management goals and objectives for 

each refuge within the National Wildlife 

Refuge System, and determining 

compatible public uses for each refuge. 

The planning process is a way for us 

and the public to evaluate management 

goals and objectives for refuge wildlife, 

plant, and habitat conservation, while 

providing for wildlife-dependent 

recreation opportunities that are 

compatible with the refuge’s 

establishing purposes and the mission 

of the National Wildlife Refuge System. 

Our CCP process provides 

participation opportunities for Tribal, 

State, and local governments; agencies; 

organizations; and the public. At this 

time we encourage input in the form of 

issues, concerns, ideas, and suggestions 

for the future management of Bandon 

Marsh, Nestucca Bay, and Siletz Bay 

Refuges. 

We will conduct an environmental 

review of this project and prepare an EA 

in accordance with the requirements of 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

of 1969, as amended (NEPA) (42 U.S.C.
