SUMMARY: We (Fish and Wildlife
Service) will submit the collection of
information described below to OMB for
approval under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act. We will use
this information to make decisions on
whether to issue, suspend, revoke,
amend, or deny a request for export
approval or registration under the
Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and
Flora (CITES).
DATES: You must submit comments on
or before May 9, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Send your comments on the
information collection to Hope Grey,
Information Collection Clearance
Officer, Fish and Wildlife Service, MS
222–ARLSQ, 4401 N. Fairfax Drive,
Arlington, VA 22203 (mail);

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To
request a copy of the information
collection requirement, explanatory
information, or related forms, contact
Hope Grey at the addresses above or by
telephone at (703) 358–2482.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which
implement provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), require that interested members
of the public and affected agencies be
given an opportunity to comment on
information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d)). On February 21, 2006, OMB
approved our emergency request for
information collection associated with
the regulations (50 CFR parts 12, 13, and
23) that implement CITES. The OMB
control number for this collection is
1018–0130, which expires on August
31, 2006. The supporting statements for
our emergency request are available
online at https://www.fws.gov/pdm/
0130SupCurrent.pdf. We plan to request
that OMB approve this information
collection for a 3-year term. The
information that we collect is the
minimum information necessary to
enable us to make the necessary
findings and decisions under CITES.
Federal agencies may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
CITES regulates international trade in
listed species through a system of
permits and certificates. Before issuing
a CITES Appendix II export permit, the
Fish and Wildlife Service must find
that: (1) The specimens to be exported
were legally acquired and (2) the export
will not be detrimental to the survival
of the species in the wild.

We have set up programs to
streamline the process for making the
findings for export of certain native
species listed in CITES Appendix II.
Working with State and tribal
governments, we have established
export programs for American alligators,
American ginseng, and certain native
furbearers. For States and tribes that
request export approval for one or more
of these species, we collect information
from the State and tribal governments
on: (1) The conservation management of
the relevant CITES-listed species in
their territory and (2) their laws
regulating the harvest of these species.
This information allows us to make
findings on a State or tribal basis, rather
than requiring individual permit
applicants to provide the information on
a permit-by-permit basis.
After we approve a State or tribal
export program, we collect information
from the State or tribal government in
the form of annual reports. These
reports request information on annual
harvest levels and any changes to the
State or tribal regulatory procedures
over the past year. States and tribes may
refer to information that they provided
in previous years if there has been no
change. The annual reports provide
information that enables us to make
findings on an annual or multi-year
basis. Regular reporting from States and
tribes helps us ensure that our findings
remain valid. We use FWS Form 3–200–
61 (American Ginseng Export Program)
to collect information on ginseng
programs. We collect information on the
other export programs via letter or email.
This information collection also
pertains to plant rescue. Live plant
specimens traded in violation of CITES
are subject to seizure. CITES requires
that seized live plant material either be
returned to the country of export or
placed in a qualified rescue center in
the country in which the seizure
occurred. In the United States, we have
a Plant Rescue Center program
consisting of a network of botanical
gardens, arboreta, zoological parks, and
research institutions that have agreed to
care for seized plant material. We
collect nonform information to
determine if an institution is qualified
to participate in the Plant Rescue Center
program as well as follow-up
information from Plant Rescue Center
participants confirming receipt of
shipments and the condition of plants
upon receipt.

implement provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.), require that interested members of the public and
affected agencies be given an opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)). On
February 21, 2006, OMB approved our emergency request for information
collection associated with the regulations (50 CFR parts 12, 13, and

1018-0130, which expires on August 31, 2006. The supporting statements

CITES regulates international trade in listed species through a
system of permits and certificates. Before issuing a CITES Appendix II
export permit, the Fish and Wildlife Service must find that: (1) The
specimens to be exported were legally acquired and (2) the export will
not be detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild.
We have set up programs to streamline the process for making the
findings for export of certain native species listed in CITES Appendix
II. Working with State and tribal governments, we have established
export programs for American alligators, American ginseng, and certain
native furbearers. For States and tribes that request export approval
for one or more of these species, we collect information from the State
and tribal governments on: (1) The conservation management of the
relevant CITES-listed species in their territory and (2) their laws
regulating the harvest of these species. This information allows us to
make findings on a State or tribal basis, rather than requiring
individual permit applicants to provide the information on a permit-by-
permit basis.
After we approve a State or tribal export program, we collect
information from the State or tribal government in the form of annual
reports. These reports request information on annual harvest levels and
any changes to the State or tribal regulatory procedures over the past
year. States and tribes may refer to information that they provided in
previous years if there has been no change. The annual reports provide
information that enables us to make findings on an annual or multi-year
basis. Regular reporting from States and tribes helps us ensure that
our findings remain valid. We use FWS Form 3-200-61 (American Ginseng
Export Program) to collect information on ginseng programs. We collect
information on the other export programs via letter or e-mail.
This information collection also pertains to plant rescue. Live
plant specimens traded in violation of CITES are subject to seizure.
CITES requires that seized live plant material either be returned to
the country of export or placed in a qualified rescue center in the
country in which the seizure occurred. In the United States, we have a
Plant Rescue Center program consisting of a network of botanical
gardens, arboreta, zoological parks, and research institutions that
have agreed to care for seized plant material. We collect nonform
information to determine if an institution is qualified to participate
in the Plant Rescue Center program as well as follow-up information

and the condition of plants upon receipt.
