SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Convention on International 

Trade in Endangered Species of Wild 

Fauna and Flora (CITES) uses a system 

of permits and certificates to help 

ensure that international trade is legal 

and does not threaten the survival of 

wildlife or plant species in the wild. 

Prior to the import or export of CITESlisted species, the Management 

Authority and Scientific Authority must 

make appropriate determinations and 

issue CITES documents. Section 8A of 

the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.) designates the Secretary of 

the Interior as the U.S. Management 

Authority and U.S. Scientific Authority 

for CITES. The Secretary delegated these 

authorities to the Fish and Wildlife 

Service. 

Before a country can issue an export 

permit for CITES Appendix I or II 

specimens, the CITES Scientific 

Authority of the exporting country must 

determine that the export will not be 

detrimental to the species, and the 

Management Authority must be satisfied 

that the specimens were acquired 

legally. For the export of Appendix III 

specimens, the Management Authority 

must be satisfied that the specimens 

were acquired legally (CITES does not 

require findings from the Scientific 

Authority). Prior to the importation of 

Appendix I specimens, both the 

Scientific Authority and the 

Management Authority of the importing 

country must make required findings. 

The Scientific Authority must also 

monitor trade of all species to ensure 

that the level of trade is sustainable. 

Article VIII(3) of the treaty states that 

participating parties should make efforts 

to ensure that CITES specimens are 

traded with a minimum of delay. 

Section XII of Resolution Conf. 12.3 

(Rev. CoP13) recommends use of 

simplified procedures for issuing CITES 

documents to expedite trade that will 

have no impact, or a negligible impact, 

on conservation of the species involved. 

We use FWS Form 3-200-74 (SingleUse Export Permits Under a Master File 

or Annual Program File (CITES)) to 

streamline the application process for 

CITES documents that involve multiple, 

similar actions over a given amount of 

time. For the initial application, 

respondents use forms designed 

specifically to address their particular 

activity (approved under OMB Control 

No. 1018-0093). From information in the 

application, we create a master file or 

annual program file that contains all the 

information necessary for us to make the 

required legal acquisition and 

nondetriment findings. The applicant 

can then submit FWS Form 3-200-74 to 

request authorization to carry out 

multiple, identical activities over the 

next 6 months. On FWS Form 3-200-74, 

we request information only about the 

number of additional documents the 

applicant requires to carry out activities 

approved under the previous 

application process. By referencing 

information in the master file or annual 

program file, we can quickly issue 

partially completed CITES documents 

(with certain specific areas left blank for 

completion by the applicant). 

United States facilities, such as farms 

and aquaculture operations, produce 

several native U.S. taxa listed in CITES 

Appendices II and III in closed and 

semi-closed production systems. By 

registering a production facility and 

setting up a master file, we can expedite 

issuance of export permits for that 

facility. The registration is valid for 1 

year. We use FWS Form 3-200-75 

(Registration of a Production Facility for 

Export of Certain Native Species 

(CITES)) to collect information on 

annual production levels, method of 

producing specimens, source of the 

parental and founder stock, and method 

of transport for international trade. This 

information allows us to issue 

documents on a very short turnaround 

time, and we do not need to collect 

additional information prior to the 

issuance of export documents.
