Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified 10 non-hour cost 

burdens, all of which are cost recovery 

fees required under § 250.802(e). 

However, the actual fee amounts are 

specified in § 250.125, which provides a 

consolidated table of all of the fees 

required under the 30 CFR 250 

regulations. The total non-hour cost 

burdens (cost recovery fees) in this IC 

request are $323,481 and are as follows: 

• Submit application for a production 

safety system with >125 components— 

$5,426 per submission; $14,280 per 

offshore visit; and $7,426 per shipyard 

visit. 

• Submit application for a production 

safety system with 25–125 

components—$1,314 per submission; 

$8,967 per offshore visit; and $5,141 per 

shipyard visit. 

• Submit application for a production 

safety system with <25 components— 

$652 per submission. 

• Submit modification to application 

for production safety system with >125 

components—$605 per submission. 

• Submit modification to application 

for production safety system with 25– 

125 components—$217 per submission. 

• Submit modification to application 

for production safety system with <25 

components—$92 per submission. 

We have not identified any other nonhour cost burdens associated with this 

collection of information. 

Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA 

(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. Until OMB approves a 

collection of information, you are not 

obligated to respond. 

Comments: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) 

requires each agency ‘‘. . . to provide 

notice . . . and otherwise consult with 

members of the public and affected 

agencies concerning each proposed 

collection of information . . .’’ Agencies 

must specifically solicit comments to: 

(a) Evaluate whether the collection is 

necessary or useful; (b) evaluate the 

accuracy of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) enhance 

the quality, usefulness, and clarity of 

the information to be collected; and (d) 

minimize the burden on the 

respondents, including the use of 

technology. 

To comply with the public 

consultation process, on August 18, 

2014, we published a Federal Register 

notice (79 FR 48757) announcing that 

we would submit this ICR to OMB for 

approval. The notice provided the 

required 60-day comment period. In 

addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB 

Control Number for the information 

collection requirements imposed by the 

30 CFR 250, Subpart H regulations. The 

regulation also informs the public that 

they may comment at any time on the 

collections of information and provides 

the address to which they should send 

comments. We received no comments in 

response to the Federal Register. 

Public Availability of Comments: 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email 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 us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

Endangered and Threatened Species 

Permit Applications 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of receipt of applications; 

request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, invite the public to 

comment on the following applications 

to conduct certain activities with 

endangered or threatened species. The 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act), prohibits activities with 

endangered and threatened species 

unless a Federal permit allows such 

activities. Both the Act and the National 

Environmental Policy Act require that 

we invite public comment before 

issuing these permits. 

DATES: To ensure consideration, written 

comments must be received on or before 

December 1, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Susan Jacobsen, Chief, 

Division of Classification and 

Restoration, by U.S. mail at Division of 

Classification and Recovery, U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service, P.O. Box 1306, 

Albuquerque, NM 87103; or by 

telephone at 505–248–6920. Please refer 

to the respective permit number for each 

application when submitting comments. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Susan Jacobsen, Chief, Division of 

Classification and Restoration, by U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Availability of Comments 

The Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) 

prohibits activities with endangered and 

threatened species unless a Federal 

permit allows such activities. Along 

with our implementing regulations in 

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 

50 CFR part 17, the Act provides for 

permits, and requires that we invite 

public comment before issuing these 

permits. A permit granted by us under 

section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Act authorizes 

applicants to conduct activities with 

U.S. endangered or threatened species 

for scientific purposes, enhancement of 

survival or propagation, or interstate 

commerce. Our regulations regarding 

implementation of section 10(a)(1)(A) 

permits are found at 50 CFR 17.22 for 

endangered wildlife species, 50 CFR 

17.32 for threatened wildlife species, 50 

CFR 17.62 for endangered plant species, 

and 50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant 

species.
