Abstract: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service’s regional migratory bird permit 

offices use information that we collect 

on permit applications 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) Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 

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

(2) Lacey Act (18 U.S.C. 42; 16 U.S.C. 

3371 et seq.). 

(3) Bald and Golden Eagle Protection 

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

Service regulations implementing 

these statutes and treaties are in chapter 

I, subchapter B of title 50 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR), parts 10, 

13, 20, and 21. These regulations 

stipulate general and specific 

requirements that, when met, allow us 

to issue permits to authorize activities 

that are otherwise prohibited. 

Generally, with the exception of forms 

3–186 and 3–186a, all Service migratory 

bird permit application and report forms 

are in the 3–200 and 3–202 series of 

forms, each tailored to a specific activity 

based on the requirements for specific 

types of permits. We collect standard 

identifier information for all permits. 

The information that we collect on 

applications and reports is the 

minimum necessary for us to determine 

if the applicant meets/continues to meet 

issuance requirements for the particular 

activity. 

In accordance with Federal 

regulations at 50 CFR 13.12, we collect 

standard identifier information for all 

permit applications, such as: 

• Applicant’s full name and address 

(street address, city, county, State, and 

zip code; and mailing address if 

different from street address); home and 

work telephone numbers; and a fax 

number and email address (if available), 

and 

—If the applicant resides or is located 

outside the United States, an address 

in the United States, and, if the 

applicant is applying for permission 

to conduct commercial activities, the 

name and address of his or her agent 

that is located in the United States; 

and 

—If the applicant is an individual, the 

date of birth, occupation, and any 

business, agency, organizational, or 

institutional affiliation associated 

with the wildlife or plants to be 

covered by the license or permit; or 

—If the applicant is a business, 

corporation, public agency, or 

institution, the tax identification 

number; description of the business 

type, corporation, agency, or 

institution; and the name and title of 

the person responsible for the permit 

(such as president, principal officer, 

or director); 

• Location where the requested 

permitted activity is to occur or be 

conducted; 

• Certification containing the 

following language: 

—‘‘I hereby certify that I have read and 

am familiar with the regulations 

contained in title 50, part 13, of the 

Code of Federal Regulations and the 

other applicable parts in subchapter B 

of chapter I of title 50, Code of Federal 

Regulations, and I further certify that 

the information submitted in this 

application for a permit is complete 

and accurate to the best of my 

knowledge and belief. I understand 

that any false statement herein may 

subject me to suspension or 

revocation of this permit and to the 

criminal penalties of 18 U.S.C. 1001.’’ 

• Requested effective date of permit 

(except where issuance date is fixed by 

the part under which the permit is 

issued); 

• Current date; 

• Signature of the applicant; 

• Such other information as the 

Director determines relevant to the 

processing of the application, including 

but not limited to 

—Information on the environmental 

effects of the activity consistent with 

40 CFR 1506.5 and Departmental 

procedures at 516 DM 6, appendix 

1.3A; and 

—Additional information required on 

applications for other types of permits 

may be found by referring to Table 1 

to Paragraph (b) in 50 CFR 13.12. 

Standardization of general 

information common to the application 

forms makes the filing of applications 

easier for the public, as well as 

expediting our review of applications. 

The information that we collect on 

applications and reports is the 

minimum necessary for us to determine 

if the applicant meets/continues to meet 

issuance requirements for the particular 

activity. 

Proposed Revisions to This Information 

Collection 

With this submission, we are 

proposing the following revisions to the 

existing information collection: 

Revisions to Section E in Permit 

Applications 

In 2020, the Service implemented a 

new automated permit application 

called ePermits. The ePermits system 

allowed the Service to move towards a 

streamlined permitting process to 

reduce the information collection 

burden on the public, particularly small 

businesses. Public burden reduction is a 

priority for the Service; the Assistant 

Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and 

Parks; and senior leadership at the 

Department of the Interior. The intent of 

the ePermits system is to fully automate 

the permitting process to improve the 

customer experience and to reduce time 

burden on respondents. This system 

enhances the user experience by 

allowing users to enter data from any 

device that has internet access, 

including personal computers, tablets, 

and smartphones. It also links the 

permit applicant to the Pay.gov system 

for payment of the associated permit 

application fee. 

Users of the ePermits system register 

for and use an account which will then 

automatically populate the forms they 

complete with the required 

identification information. The system 

eliminates the need for applicants to 

enter their information multiple times 

when they apply for separate permits 

and reducing burden on the applicant. 

The account registration process will 

also provide private sector users an 

opportunity to self-identify as a small 

business which will enable the Service 

to more accurately report burden 

associated with information collection 

requirements placed on them. 

At this time, the ePermits system is 

unable to fully automate Section E of 

the permit application process. Section 

E of each permit application is 

customized based on the permit type. 

We anticipate being able to begin 

digitizing Section E on our forms in 

calendar year 2022. As a result of 

challenges with the development of 

forms within the ePermits system, we 

do not have a timeline for full 

automation of Section E. We anticipate 

beginning the digitization of the report 

forms contained in this collection by 

2023 and believe the digitization of 

Section E on application forms should 

be finalized by fiscal year 2024, as 

funding and resources become available. 

We do not anticipate changes to the 

questions within Section E of each 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
29874 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 95 / Tuesday, May 17, 2022 / Notices 

application form. We also do not plan 

to make changes to the annual report 

forms contained in this collection. 

However, we do anticipate proposing 

the following changes to certain permit 

application forms contained in this 

collection, to include: 

• Applicants will be able to select the 

type of business they manage (for-profit, 

small business, farm, not-for-profit, or 

government entity). 

• Requesting businesses using 

ePermits provide email addresses for 

both the principal officer and the 

business. 

• The signature block will be 

replaced by with electronic submission 

of the online applications. 

• The ePermits system will also: 

—Allow users to apply on behalf of 

another individual or business as a 

new way to identify if a consultant is 

applying for a client. 

—Ask for the name of the authorized 

individual to include on the permit 

and will allow a business to nickname 

their applications. 

—Ask the applicant to identify the 

location where the majority of the 

authorized activities will occur. 

—Ask the applicant to identify the 

physical address of the preparer of 

application. 

—Ask the applicants to identify if they 

are tax exempt. 

—Prompt applicants to provide their 

preferred contact method. 

—Prompt the applicant to describe 

changes associated with amendments 

or renewals (with changes) of their 

permit. 

—Prompt applicants to opt in or out to 

release their information for all 

applications except migratory bird 

rehabilitation permits (businesses are 

automatically opted in). 

—Prompt the applicant to provide a 

parent permit number, which allows 

the ePermits System to direct the user 

to the correct version of their permit 

for renewals or amendments to a 

permit. 

Falconry Program 

We propose to modify FWS Form 3– 

186A to update the field ‘‘USFWS Band 

Number’’ to say ‘‘USFWS/State/Tribe/ 

Territory band number’’ and ’’USFWS 

Permit Number’’ to ‘‘USFWS/State/ 

Tribe/Territory permit number.’’ 

Migratory Bird Permit Program Service 

Manual Chapters 

With this submission, we will seek 

OMB approval of the Migratory Bird 

Permit Program Handbook and 

associated Service Manual chapters at 

724 FW 1 (‘‘Migratory Bird Permits’’) 

and 724 FW 2 (‘‘Migratory Bird 

Management’’), all of which contain 

information collections. The Handbook 

provides detailed procedures and other 

operational information to implement 

the Service Manual chapters in part 724 

and more generally in part 720. 

New and existing information 

collections contained in the Handbook 

requiring OMB approval include the 

following: 

• Renewal procedures associated 

with the reauthorization of an existing 

permit (with or without changes to the 

conditions); 

• Reinstatement procedures 

associated with the reauthorization of 

an existing permit (with or without 

changes to the conditions); 

• Discontinuance procedures at the 

permittee’s request to discontinue a 

valid permit; 

• Solicitation of appropriate 

documentation from entities authorized 

to act on behalf of State, local, Tribal, 

and Federal government agencies to 

verify their exempt status for fee 

exemption purposes; 

• Fee waiver request process as 

outlined in 50 CFR 13.11(d)(3)(iii); 

• Requests for reconsideration of a 

denial, partial denial, suspension, or 

revocation of a permit (requiring 

submission of a written request with the 

required information in 50 CFR 13.29(b) 

within 45 days after the permit 

decision); and 

• Appeals of reconsideration request 

decisions (requiring the permittee 

submit a written request to the Regional 

Director (see 50 CFR 13.29(e)) within 45 

days of the reconsideration decision). 

The public may request copies of any 

form or document contained in this 

information collection by sending a 

request to the Service Information 

Collection Clearance Officer in
