consider your comments on this IC, we 

must receive them by April 13, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Send your comments on the 

IC to the Information Collection

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Horseshoe crabs play a vital role 

commercially, biomedically, and 

ecologically along the Atlantic coast. 

Horseshoe crabs are commercially 

harvested and used as bait in eel and 

conch fisheries. Biomedical companies 

along the coast also collect and bleed 

horseshoe crabs at their facilities. 

Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate is derived 

from crab blood, which has no synthetic 

substitute, and is used by 

pharmaceutical companies to test 

sterility of products. Finally, migratory 

shorebirds also depend on the eggs of 

horseshoe crabs to refuel on their 

migrations from South America to the 

Arctic. One bird in particular, the red 

knot, feeds primarily on horseshoe crab 

eggs during its stopover. Effective 

January 12, 2015, this species was listed 

as threatened under the Endangered 

Species Act. 

In 1998, the Atlantic States Marine 

Fisheries Commission (ASMFC), a 

management organization with 

representatives from each State on the 

Atlantic Coast, developed a horseshoe 

crab management plan. The ASMFC 

plan and its subsequent addenda 

established mandatory State-by-State 

harvest quotas, and created the 1,500- 

square-mile Carl N. Shuster, Jr., 

Horseshoe Crab Sanctuary off the mouth 

of Delaware Bay. 

Restrictive measures have been taken 

in recent years, but populations are 

increasing slowly. Because horseshoe 

crabs do not breed until they are 9 years 

or older, it may take some time before 

the population measurably increases. 

Federal and State agencies, universities, 

and biomedical companies participate 

in a Horseshoe Crab Cooperative 

Tagging Program. The Maryland Fishery 

Resources Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, maintains the information that 

we collect under this program and uses 

it to evaluate migratory patterns, 

survival, and abundance of horseshoe 

crabs. 

Agencies that tag and release the crabs 

complete FWS Form 3–2311 (Horseshoe 

Crab Tagging) and provide the Service 

with: 

• Organization name. 

• Contact person name. 

• Tag number. 

• Sex of crab. 

• Prosomal width. 

• Capture site, latitude, longitude, 

waterbody, State, and date. 

Members of the public who recover 

tagged crabs provide the following 

information using FWS Form 3–2310 

(Horseshoe Crab Recapture Report): 

• Tag number. 

• Whether or not tag was removed. 

• Whether the tag was circular or 

square. 

• Condition of crab. 

• Date captured/found. 

• Crab fate. 

• Finder type. 

• Capture method. 

• Capture location. 

• Reporter information. 

• Comments. 

If the public participant who reports 

the tagged crab requests information, we 

send data pertaining to the tagging 

program and tag and release information 

on the horseshoe crab that was found or 

captured.

Description of Respondents: Tagging 

agencies include Federal and State 

agencies, universities, and biomedical

public provide recapture information. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion 

when horseshoe crabs are tagged and 

when horseshoe crabs are found or 

captured.

* Average time required per response is dependent on the number of tags applied by an agency in 1 year. Agencies tag between 25 and 9,000 

horseshoe crabs annually, taking between 2 to 5 minutes per crab to tag, record, and report data. Each agency determines the number of tags it 

will apply.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Coastal barriers are typically 

elongated, narrow landforms located at 

the interface of land and sea, and are 

inherently dynamic ecosystems. Coastal 

barriers provide important habitat for 

fish and wildlife, and serve as the 

mainland’s first line of defense against 

the impacts of severe storms. With the 

passage of the Coastal Barrier Resources 

Act (CBRA) in 1982 (Pub. L. 97–348), 

Congress recognized that certain actions 

and programs of the Federal 

Government have historically 

subsidized and encouraged 

development on coastal barriers, where 

severe storms are much more likely to 

occur, and the result has been the loss 

of natural resources; threats to human 

life, health, and property; and the 

expenditure of millions of tax dollars 

each year. 

The CBRA established the CBRS, 

which comprised 186 geographic units 

encompassing approximately 453,000 

acres of undeveloped lands and 

associated aquatic habitat along the 

Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts. The 

CBRS was expanded by the Coastal 

Barrier Improvement Act of 1990 (Pub. 

L. 101–591) to include additional areas 

along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico 

coasts, as well as areas along the coasts 

of the Great Lakes, the U.S. Virgin 

Islands, and Puerto Rico. The CBRS now 

comprises a total of 856 geographic 

units, encompassing approximately 3.2 

million acres of relatively undeveloped 

coastal barrier lands and associated 

aquatic habitat. These areas are depicted 

on a series of maps entitled ‘‘John H. 

Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources 

System.’’ 

Most new Federal expenditures and 

financial assistance that would have the 

effect of encouraging development are 

prohibited within the CBRS. However, 

development can still occur within the 

CBRS, provided that private developers 

or other non-Federal parties bear the full 

cost, rather than the American 

taxpayers. 

The CBRS includes two types of units, 

System units and Otherwise Protected 

Areas (OPAs). System units generally 

comprise private lands that were 

relatively undeveloped at the time of 

their designation within the CBRS. Most
