SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for an extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 

(ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq.) imposed 

prohibitions against the taking of 

endangered species. In 1982, Congress 

revised the ESA to allow permits 

authorizing the taking of endangered 

species incidental to otherwise lawful 

activities. The corresponding 

regulations (50 CFR part 222.222) 

established procedures for persons to 

apply for such a permit. In addition, the 

regulations set forth specific reporting 

requirements for such permit holders. 

The regulations contain three sets of 

information collections: (1) 

Applications for incidental take permits, 

(2) applications for certificates of 

inclusion, and (3) reporting 

requirements for permits issued. 

Certificates of inclusion are only 

required if a general permit is issued to 

a representative of a group of potential 

permit applicants, rather than requiring 

each entity to apply for and receive a 

permit. 

The required information is used to 

evaluate the impacts of the proposed 

activity on endangered species, to make 

the determinations required by the ESA 

prior to issuing a permit, and to 

establish appropriate permit conditions. 

When a species is listed as threatened, 

section 4(d) of the ESA requires the 

Secretary to issue whatever regulations 

are deemed necessary or advisable to 

provide for conservation of the species. 

In many cases those regulations reflect 

blanket application of the section 9 take 

prohibition. However, the National 

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) 

recognizes certain exceptions to that 

prohibition, including habitat 

restoration actions taken in accord with 

approved state watershed action plans. 

While watershed plans are prepared for 

other purposes in coordination with or 

fulfillment of various state programs, a 

watershed group wishing to take 

advantage of the exception for 

restoration activities (rather than 

obtaining a section 10 permit) would 

have to submit the plan for NMFS 

review. 

II. Method of Collection 

Currently, most information is 

collected on paper, but in some 

instances, there is electronic access and 

capability. 

III. Data 

OMB Number: 0648–0230. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission 

(extension of a currently approved 

information collection). 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households, business or other for-profit, 

not-for-profit institutions, and state, 

local, or tribal government. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

13. 

Estimated Time per Response: 80 

hours for a permit application 

(including Habitat Conservation Plans), 

40 minutes for transfer of an incidental 

take permit; 8 hours for a permit report, 

30 minutes for a Certificate of Inclusion 

and 10 hours for a watershed plan. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 472. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $450 in recordkeeping/reporting 

costs. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
