BILLING CODE 4310–02–P

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Fish and Wildlife Service

Information Collection Renewal

Submitted to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for Approval Under

the Paperwork Reduction Act

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service has submitted to OMB the

requirements for collection of

information from applicants who wish

to obtain a permit to conduct activities

under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the

Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act,

and the Convention on International

Trade in Endangered Species, and for

collection of report information about

activities conducted under permits.

OMB approval of information

collections is required under the

Paperwork Reduction Act. If you wish

to obtain copies of the proposed

information collection requirements,

related forms, and explanatory material,

contact the Collection Clearance Officer

at the address listed below.

DATES: OMB has up to 60 days to

approve or disapprove information

collection but may respond after 30

days. Therefore, to ensure maximum

consideration, you must submit

comments on or before April 9, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Send your comments and

suggestions on specific requirements to

the Office of Management and Budget,

Attention: Department of the Interior

Desk Officer, 725 17th Street, NW,

Washington, DC 20503, and to Rebecca

Mullin, Collection Clearance Officer,

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, MS 222–

ARLSQ, 4401 North Fairfax Drive,

Arlington, VA 22203.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

further information regarding this

submission or to request a copy of the

information collection request,

explanatory information and related

forms, contact Rebecca A. Mullin,

Collection Clearance Officer at (703)

358–2287, or electronically to

rmullin@fws.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB

regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which

implement provisions of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L., 104–13),

require that interested members of the

public and affected agencies have an

opportunity to comment on information

collection and recordkeeping activities

(see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)). We published a

60-day notice inviting public comment

on this information collection in the

Federal Register on September 6, 1999

(65 FR 54060). We received no

comments.

We have submitted a request to OMB

for renewal of their approval for the

information collections assigned OMB

control numbers 1018–0022 and 1018–

0099, and to approve several new forms.

We are not allowed to conduct or

sponsor a collection of information, and

a person is not required to respond to

a request for information, unless it

displays a currently valid OMB control

number.

We requested renewed approval of the

collection of information for Service

license/permit application forms 3–200–

6 through 3–200–18. We also requested

approval for a new application form 3–

200–67 for special Canada goose

permits, for which the collection of

information was assigned OMB

approval number 1018–0099 during the

rulemaking process (64 FR 32774, June

17, 1999). We have requested that the

special Canada goose information

collection be incorporated under OMB

No. 1018–0022. We also requested

13948 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 46 / Thursday, March 8, 2001 / Notices

approval for permit reporting forms 3–

202–1 through 3–202–5, which

supersede forms 3–202a, 3–202c, 3–

430b, and 3–430d. Also, we are

requesting approval for three new report

forms, 3–202–7, 3–202–8, and 3–202–9.

These new report forms do not represent

new information collections. Rather, we

have taken existing report forms that

covered several permit types and

created new forms tailored to the

specific permit activity. This will make

each report form easier for permittees to

understand and complete. We also

requested approval for a streamlined

application form that is specific to

renewing expired or expiring permits

(3–200–68). This does not represent a

new information collection-merely a

specific form to facilitate renewal

requests. Finally, we requested approval

for two new application forms, 3–200–

69 and 3–200–70, which will assist

individuals and entities in obtaining

permits under the Convention on

International Trade in Endangered

Species and the Bald and Golden Eagle

Protection Act to temporarily transport

eagle parts into and out of the United

States, as authorized by a recent

amendment of 50 CFR 22.21 and 22.22

(64 FR 50467; September 17, 1999). We

requested a 3-year term of approval for

this information collection activity,

which is the maximum term allowed.

We have reformatted and revised all

of our application and report forms to

improve clarity and presentation. This

should improve the completeness of

applications and reports we receive and

reduce delays associated with having to

contact applicants and permittees for

additional information or clarification.

Revisions were made to the annual

report forms to (1) clarify the

information being collected, (2) convert

report form numbers to consecutive

numbers, (3) eliminate collection of

certain information that we no longer

track, and (4) reorganize the forms to

accommodate future electronic

submission of data. For instance, on

rehabilitation annual reports, instead of

collecting certain information on each

individual birds received by the

permittee, we will collect a summary of

the information by species. All of our

forms will be available on the Internet

following OMB approval.

We invite comments concerning this

information collection, including on: (1)

Whether the collection of information is

necessary for the proper perWormance

of the functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of burden, including

the validity of the methodology and

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance

the quality, utility and clarity of the

information to be collected; and (4)

ways to minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including the use of

appropriate automated, electronic,

mechanical, or other technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology. The

information collections in this program

are part of a system of records covered

by the Privacy Act 95 U.S.C. 552(a)).

The information on the application

forms will be used to determine whether

an applicant meets criteria established

in the various migratory bird treaties,

laws, and regulations for issuance of a

permit or whether a permit must be

suspended, revoked, or denied.

Information on the report forms will be

used to monitor permit compliance and

track species taken from the wild.

The information collection

requirements in this submission

implement the regulatory requirements

of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16

U.S.C. 704) (50 CFR part 21), the Lacey

Act (18 U.S.C. 42–44)(50 CFR part 14),

the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection

Act (16 U.S.C. 668)(50 CFR part 22), and

the Convention on International Trade

in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna

and Flora (CITES) (27 UST 108)(50 CFR

part 23), and are contained in Service

regulations in Chapter I, Subchapter B

of Title 50 Code of Federal Regulations

(CFR). Common permit application and

recordkeeping requirements have been

consolidated in 50 CFR part 13.

The individual permit types with

information collection requirements, the

estimated number of responses per year,

the burden hours, and the applicable

regulatory authority are included in the

table below. Since the previous Federal

Register notice, we changed the annual

report form numbers to make them

consecutive. In addition, some data in

the table have been updated since the

previous notice. With the exception of

special Canada goose permits (5 years),

depredation permits (1 year), golden

eagle nest permits (2 years), and Indian

religious permits (indefinite), most

migratory bird permits are valid for 3

years. Most of these permits are

renewable. To renew a permit, an

applicant may complete a renewal

application instead of the regular

application for the type of permit he or

she holds. Therefore, the figures in the

Total No. of Responses column do not

reflect the total number of requests

received annually for a given type of

permit.
