financial assets, and reporting on these 

transactions. The mission of the OST is 

to serve Indian communities by 

fulfilling Indian fiduciary trust 

responsibilities. This is to be 

accomplished through the 

implementation of a Comprehensive 

Trust Management Plan (CTM) that is 

designed to improve trust beneficiary 

services, ownership information, 

management of trust fund assets, and 

self-governance activities. 

A tribe operating under selfgovernance may include the following 

programs, services, functions, and 

activities or portions thereof in a 

funding agreement: 

1. Beneficiary Processes Program 

(Individual Indian Money Accounting 

Technical Functions). 

2. Appraisal Services Program. 

Tribes/Consortia that currently 

perform these programs under a selfgovernance funding agreement with the 

BIA, may negotiate a separate 

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 

with OST that outlines the roles and 

responsibilities for management of these 

programs. 

The MOU between the Tribe/ 

Consortium and OST outlines the roles 

and responsibilities for the performance 

of the OST program by the Tribe/ 

Consortium. If those roles and 

responsibilities are already fully 

articulated in the existing funding 

agreement with the BIA, an MOU is not 

necessary. To the extent that the parties 

desire specific program standards, an 

MOU will be negotiated between the 

Tribe/Consortium and OST, which will 

be binding on both parties and attached 

and incorporated into the BIA funding 

agreement. 

If a Tribe/Consortium decides to 

assume the operation of an OST 

program, the new funding for 

performing that program will come from 

OST program dollars. A Tribe’s newlyassumed operation of the OST 

program(s) will be reflected in the 

Tribe’s funding agreement. 

For questions regarding selfgovernance, contact Lee Frazier, 

Program Analyst, Office of External 

Affairs, Office of the Special Trustee for 

American Indians (MS 5140–MIB), 1849 

C Street, NW., Washington, DC 20240– 

0001, phone: (202) 208–7587, fax: (202) 

208–7545. 

IV. Programmatic Targets 

During Fiscal Year 2010, upon request 

of a self-governance tribe, each non-BIA 

bureau will negotiate funding 

agreements for its eligible programs 

beyond those already negotiated.

Safety Act 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.

Service) have sent an Information 

Collection Request (ICR) to OMB for 

review and approval. We summarize the 

ICR below and describe the nature of the 

collection and the estimated burden and 

cost. This ICR is scheduled to expire on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 1018-0129. 

Title: Captive Wildlife Safety Act, 50 

CFR 14.250 - 14.255. 

Service Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Accredited wildlife 

sanctuaries. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain a benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: Ongoing. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 750. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

750. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 750. 

Abstract: The Captive Wildlife Safety 

Act (CWSA) amends the Lacey Act by 

making it illegal to import, export, buy, 

sell, transport, receive, or acquire, in 

interstate or foreign commerce, live 

lions, tigers, leopards, snow leopards, 

clouded leopards, cheetahs, jaguars, or 

cougars, or any hybrid combination of 

any of these species, unless certain 

exceptions are met. There are several 

exceptions to the prohibitions of the 

CWSA, including accredited wildlife 

sanctuaries. 

There is no requirement for wildlife 

sanctuaries to submit applications to 

qualify for the accredited wildlife 

sanctuary exemption. Wildlife 

sanctuaries themselves will determine if 

they qualify. To qualify, they must meet 

all of the following criteria: 

• Approval by the United States 

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a 

corporation that is exempt from taxation 

under section 501(a) of the Internal 

Revenue Code of 1986, which is 

described in sections 501(c)(3) and 

170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of that code. 

• Do not engage in commercial trade 

in the prohibited wildlife species 

including offspring, parts, and products. 

• Do not propagate the prohibited 

wildlife species. 

• Have no direct contact between the 

public and the prohibited wildlife 

species. 

The basis for this information 

collection is the recordkeeping 

requirement that we place on accredited 

wildlife sanctuaries. We require 

accredited wildlife sanctuaries to 

maintain complete and accurate records 

of any possession, transportation, 

acquisition, disposition, importation, or 

exportation of the prohibited wildlife 

species as defined in the CWSA (50 CFR 

14, subpart K). Records must be up to 

date and include: (1) the names and 

addresses of persons to or from whom 

any prohibited wildlife species has been 

acquired, imported, exported, 

purchased, sold, or otherwise 

transferred; and (2) the dates of these 

transactions. Accredited wildlife 

sanctuaries must: 

• Maintain these records for 5 years. 

• Make these records accessible to 

Service officials for inspection at 

reasonable hours. 

•Copy these records for Service 

officials, if requested.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 93 / Friday, May 14, 2010 / Notices 27359 

Comments: On January 21, 2010, we 

published in the Federal Register (75 

FR 3483) a notice of our intent to 

request that OMB renew this ICR. In that 

notice, we solicited comments for 60 

days, ending on March 22, 2010. We 

received 155 comments during the 

comment period, all of which supported 

this information collection. Of these 

comments, 153 were submitted as part 

of an electronic letterwriting campaign 

and two were individual responses. 

Comments: The comments submitted 

as part of the letterwriting campaign 

suggested that sanctuaries should make 

appropriate records available to the 

Service and the public. Other comments 

suggested that: (1) appropriate records 

should be made available to the Service 

on an annual basis; (2) we establish an 

electronic recordkeeping system for 

wildlife sanctuaries that other Federal, 

State or, local agencies could access; 

and (3) wildlife sanctuaries be 

accredited by an independent 

organization. 

Response: During development of the 

regulations to implement the CWSA, we 

considered options for some type of 

formal accreditation mechanism for 

wildlife sanctuaries, but concluded that 

it was not practical for a number of 

reasons. We believe that the 

requirement that wildlife sanctuaries 

provide records on an as-needed basis is 

adequate to substantiate whether or not 

a particular wildlife sanctuary qualifies 

as accredited under the CWSA. In 

addition, the Privacy Act and the 

Freedom of Information Act have 

certain requirements pertaining to the 

release of information that may prohibit 

us from making these records openly 

available to the public. Since the 

Service is responsible for determining if 

a wildlife sanctuary qualifies as 

accredited under the CWSA, giving this 

responsibility to an outside organization 

would not be appropriate. 

We again invite comments concerning 

this information collection on: 

•Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary, including 

whether or not the information will 

have practical utility; 

•The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information; 

•Ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

•Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. Before including your 

address, phone number, e-mail address, 

or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment, including your personal 

identifying information, may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask OMB in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that it will be done.
