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 FWS Forms 3-200-74 (Single-Use Export Permits Under a Master File or Annual Program File) and 3-200-75 (Registration of a Production Facility for Export of Certain Native Species).  These forms are currently approved under OMB Control Number 1018-0137.  After OMB takes action on this information collection request, we will discontinue 1018-0137. In addition, we are proposing 10 new forms.  We believe these forms will reduce burden on applicants, improve customer service, and allow us to process applications and issue CITES documents quickly. (1)  FWS Form 3-200-21a (Report on the Import of Sport-Hunted Trophies of Argali).  Applicants currently submit this report in a nonform format. (2)  FWS Form 3-200-80 (Export of Fertilized Live Eggs, Caviar, or Meat from Aquacultured Paddlefish or Sturgeon CITES). Applicants currently use FWS Forms 3-200-24 or 3-200-76 for this activity. (3)  FWS Form 3-200-83 (Approval of a CITES Export Program (American ginseng, CITES furbearers, American Alligator)).  Applicants currently submit this information in a nonform format. (4)  FWS Form 3-200-83a (Report for Furbearer CITES Export Programs).  Applicants currently submit this report in a nonform format. (5)  FWS Form 3-200-83b (Report for American Alligator CITES Export Programs).  Applicants currently submit this report in a nonform format. (6)  FWS Form 3-200-84 (Participation in the Plant Rescue Center Program). Applicants currently submit the necessary information in a nonform format. (7)  FWS Form 3-200-84a (Plant Rescue Program - Report on Receipt and Condition of Specimens).  Applicants currently submit this report in a nonform format. (8)  FWS Form 3-200-85 (Establishment of a Master File for the Export of Live Captive-Bred Animals (CITES)).  Applicants currently use FWS Form 3-200-24 for this activity. (9)  FWS Form 3-200-86 (Photography of Marine Mammals for Educational or Commercial Purposes (MMPA)).  Applicants currently use FWS Form 3-200-43 for this activity. (10)  FWS Form 3-200-87 (Transfer of Live Captive-held Marine Mammals (MMPA)).  Applicants currently submit letters for notification or authorization. II. Data *OMB Control Number:*
