Service) will ask the Office of

burden, we invite the general public and 

other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on this IC, 

which is scheduled to expire on June

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This IC covers permit applications 

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: 

(1) Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.). 

(2) Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 

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

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

(4) Bald and Golden Eagle Protection 

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

(5) Convention on International Trade 

in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna 

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

(6) Marine Mammal Protection Act 

(16 U.S.C. 1361–1407). 

(7) Wild Bird Conservation Act (16 

U.S.C. 4901–4916). 

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. 

This revised IC includes: 

(1) Modifications to the format and 

content of the currently approved 

application forms so that they are easier 

to understand and complete. 

(2) FWS Forms 3–200–61, 3–200–69, 

and 3–200–70, which are currently 

approved under OMB control numbers 

1018–0130 and 1018–0022. 

(3) FWS Form 3–200–76, which is a 

new form for the export of caviar or 

meat of paddlefish or sturgeon from the 

wild. Applicants currently use FWS 

Form 3–200–27 for this activity. The 

new form will simplify the reporting 

requirements and reduce burden on the 

public.
