DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Title: Application and Reports for 

Scientific Research and Enhancement 

Permits under the Endangered Species 

Act. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0402. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular (extension of 

a currently approved information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 115. 

Average Hours per Response: Permit 

applications, 12 hours; permit 

modification requests 6 hours; annual or 

final reports, 2 hours. 

Burden Hours: 840. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. 

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 

(ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) imposed 

prohibitions against the taking of 

endangered species. Section 10 of the 

ESA allows permits authorizing the 

taking of endangered species for 

research/enhancement purposes. The 

corresponding regulations established 

procedures for persons to apply for such 

permits. In addition, the regulations set 

forth specific reporting requirements for 

such permit holders. The regulations 

contain two sets of information 

collections: (1) Applications for 

research/enhancement permits, and (2) 

reporting requirements for permits 

issued. 

The required information is used to 

evaluate the impacts of the proposed 

activity on endangered species, to make 

the determinations required by the ESA 

prior to issuing a permit, and to 

establish appropriate permit conditions. 

To issue permits under ESA Section 

10(a)(1)(A), the National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) must 

determine that (1) such exceptions were 

applied for in good faith, (2) if granted 

and exercised, will not operate to the 

disadvantage of such endangered 

species, and (3) will be consistent with 

the purposes and policy set forth in 

Section 2 of the ESA. 

The currently approved application 

and reporting requirements apply to 

Pacific marine and anadromous fish 

species, as requirements regarding other 

species are being addressed in a 

separate information collection. 

Affected Public: 

Frequency: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain a benefit. 

This information collection request 

may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow 

the instructions to view Department of 

Commerce collections currently under 

review by OMB. 

Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to OIRA_Submission@

omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395–5806. 

Dated: July 31, 2018.
