the status of events if the carrier creates 

or collects a container status message 

(CSM) in its equipment tracking system 

reporting an event. CSMs must be 

transmitted to CBP via a CBP-approved 

electronic data interchange system. 

These messages transmit information 

regarding events such as the status of a 

container (full or empty); booking a 

container destined to arrive in the 

United States; loading or unloading a 

container from a vessel; and a container 

arriving or departing the United States. 

CSMs are provided for by 19 CFR 4.7d. 

Importer Security Filing (ISF): For 

most cargo arriving in the United States 

by vessel, the importer, or its authorized 

agent, must submit the data elements 

listed in 19 CFR 149.3 via a CBPapproved electronic interchange system 

within prescribed time frames. 

Transmission of these data elements 

provide CBP with advance information 

about the shipment. 

Current Actions: CBP is proposing 

that this information collection be 

extended with no change to the burden 

hours resulting from the proposed 

revision to the information collection 

associated with the Air Cargo Advance 

Screening pilot, as there is no change to 

the data being collected, only to the 

timing of the collection. There are no 

changes to the existing information 

collections under this OMB approval. 

The burden hours are listed in the chart 

below. 

Type of Review: Revision and 

Extension.

general public and other Federal 

agencies with an opportunity to 

comment on new, proposed, revised, 

and continuing collections of

reporting burden. It also helps the 

public understand our information 

collection requirements and provide the 

requested data in the desired format. 

We are soliciting comments on the 

proposed ICR that is described below. 

We are especially interested in public 

comment addressing the following 

issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to 

the proper functions of the Service; (2) 

will this information be processed and 

used in a timely manner; (3) is the 

estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 

might the Service enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to

Service minimize the burden of this 

collection on the respondents, including

Abstract: Information collection 

requirements associated with the 

administrative processes used to 

administer Service financial assistance 

programs are currently approved under 

four different OMB control numbers: 

• 1018–0100, ‘‘Migratory Birds and 

Wetlands Conservation Grant Programs, 

50 CFR 17 and 23’’; 

• 1018–0109, ‘‘Wildlife and Sport 

Fish Restoration Grants and Cooperative 

Agreements, 50 CFR 80, 81, 84, 85, and 

86’’; 

• 1018–0123, ‘‘International 

Conservation Grant Programs’’; and 

• 1018–0154, ‘‘Wolf-Livestock 

Demonstration Project Grant Program.’’ 

In this revision, we are consolidating 

all of the information collection 

requirements associated with the four 

OMB Control Numbers identified above 

into one control number, OMB Control 

No. 1018–0100, with a new title to more 

accurately reflect the purpose of the 

consolidated collection of information. 

Consolidation of OMB approvals into a 

single collection reduces burden on the 

public by ensuring consistency in the 

application and award administration 

processes across all Service financial 

assistance programs. If OMB approves 

this request, we will discontinue OMB 

Control Numbers 1018–0109, 1018– 

0123, and 1018–0154. 

We issue financial assistance through 

grants and cooperative agreement 

awards to individuals; commercial 

organizations; institutions of higher 

education; non-profit organizations; 

foreign entities; and State, local, and 

Tribal governments. The Service 

administers a wide variety of financial 

assistance programs, authorized by 

Congress to address the Service’s 

mission, as listed in the Catalog of 

Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA). 

The CFDA is a government-wide 

compendium of Federal programs, 

projects, services, and activities that 

provide assistance or benefits to the 

American public. It contains financial 

and non-financial assistance programs 

administered by departments and 

establishments of the Federal 

government. The CFDA listing includes 

program types and numbers, the specific 

type of assistance for each program, and 

includes the applicable authorities for 

each program within the description. A 

list of currently authorized Service 

financial assistance programs can be 

found at https://www.cfda.gov/ 

?s=agency&mode=form&tab=

program&id=000710afb4d72c15f9

fc20a83f7319d0. The Service currently 

manages the following types of 

assistance as categorized by the CFDA: 

• Formula Grants 

• Project Grants 

• Project Grants (Discretionary) 

• Cooperative Agreements 

(Discretionary Grants) 

• Direct Payments with Unrestricted 

Use 

• Use of Property, Facilities, and 

Equipment 

• Provision of Specialized Services 

• Advisory Services and Counseling 

• Dissemination of Technical 

Information 

• Training 

Some assistance programs are 

mandatory and funds are awarded to 

eligible recipients according to a 

formula set by law or policy. Other 

programs are discretionary and award 

funds based on competitive selection 

and merit review processes. Mandatory 

grant recipients must give us specific, 

detailed project information during the 

application process so that we may 

ensure that projects are eligible for the 

mandatory funding, are substantial in 

character and design, and comply with 

all applicable Federal laws. 

Discretionary grant applicants must give 

us information as dictated by the 

program requirements and as requested 

in the notice of funding opportunity 

(NOFO), including that information that 

addresses ranking criteria. All recipients 

must submit financial and performance 

reports that contain information 

necessary for us to track costs and 

accomplishments. The rewardees’ 

reports must adhere to schedules and 

rules in 2 CFR part 200, Uniform 

Administrative Requirements, Cost 

Principles, and Audit Requirements for 

Federal Awards, which was effective as 

of December 26, 2014. Part 200 

prescribes the information that Federal 

agencies must collect, and financial 

assistance recipients must provide, and 

also supports this information 

collection. 

The Service uses the grant process to 

provide technical and financial 

assistance to other Federal agencies, 

States, local governments, Native 

American tribes, non-governmental 

organizations, citizen groups, and 

private landowners, for the conservation 

and management of fish and wildlife 

resources. The process begins with the 

submission of an application. The 

respective program reviews and 

prioritizes proposed projects based on 

their respective project selection 

criteria. Pending availability of funding, 

applicants can submit their application 

documents to the Service through the 

Federal Grants.gov Web site, when 

solicited by the Service through a 

NOFO. 

As part of this collection of 

information, the Service collects the 

following types of information requiring 

approval under the PRA: 

A. Application Package: We use the 

information provided in applications to: 

(1) Determine eligibility under the 

authorizing legislation and applicable 

program regulations; (2) determine 

allowability of major cost items under 

the Cost Principles at 2 CFR 200; (3) 

select those projects that will provide 

the highest return on the Federal 

investment; and (4) assist in compliance 

with laws, as applicable, such as the 

National Environmental Policy Act, the 

National Historic Preservation Act, and 

the Uniform Relocation Assistance and 

Real Property Acquisition Policies Act 

of 1970. The full application package 

(submitted by the applicant) generally 

include the following: 

• Required Federal financial 

assistance application forms (SF–424

requirements associated with financial 

assistance awards generally include the 

following types of reports:

C. Recordkeeping Requirements: In 

accordance with 2 CFR 200.333, 

financial records, supporting 

documents, statistical records, and all 

other non-Federal entity records 

pertinent to a Federal award must be 

retained for a period of 3 years after the 

date of submission of the final 

expenditure report or, for Federal 

awards that are renewed quarterly or

submission of the quarterly or annual 

financial report, respectively, as 

reported to the Federal awarding agency 

or pass-through entity (in the case of a
