Information Collection Renewal To Be
Sent to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for Approval Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act; OMB
Control Number 1018–0012;

Exportation of Fish or Wildlife
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We (Fish and Wildlife
Service) will ask OMB to renew
approval for our information collection
associated with the importation or
exportation of fish or wildlife. The
current OMB control number for this
information collection is 1018–0012,
which expires on December 31, 2006.
We will request that OMB renew
approval of this information collection
for a 3-year term. As required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and
as part of our continuing efforts to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, we invite the general public and
other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on this
information collection.
DATES: You must submit comments on
or before August 21, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Send your comments to
Hope Grey, Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Fish and Wildlife
Service, MS 222–ARLSQ, 4401 N.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To
request additional information about
this information collection request or
the related forms, contact Hope Grey at
one 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 have
PO 00000
Frm 00037

an opportunity to comment on
information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d)). We may not conduct or
sponsor and you are not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The Endangered Species Act (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) makes it unlawful
to import or export fish, wildlife, or
plants without filing a declaration or
report deemed necessary for enforcing
the Act or upholding the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered
Species (CITES) (see 16 U.S.C. 1538(e)).
Any business or individual importing
into or exporting from the United States
any fish, wildlife, or wildlife product
must complete FWS Form 3–177
(Declaration for Importation or
Exportation of Fish or Wildlife). This
form as well as FWS Form 3–177a
(Continuation Sheet) and instructions
for completion are available for
electronic submission at https://
edecs.fws.gov.
The information that we collect is
unique to each wildlife shipment and
enables us to accurately inspect the
contents of the shipment; enforce any
regulations that pertain to the fish,
wildlife, or wildlife products contained
in the shipment; and maintain records
of the importation and exportation of
these commodities. Additionally, since
the United States is a member of CITES,
we compile much of the collected
information in an annual report that we
forward to the CITES Secretariat in
Geneva, Switzerland. Submission of an
annual report on the number and types
of imports and exports of fish, wildlife,
and wildlife products is one of our
treaty obligations under CITES. We also
use the information obtained from FWS
Form 3–177 as an enforcement tool and
management aid in monitoring the
international wildlife market and
detecting trends and changes in the
commercial trade of fish, wildlife, and
wildlife products. Our Division of
Scientific Authority and Division of
Management Authority use this
information to assess the need for
additional protection for native species.
In addition, nongovernmental
organizations, including the commercial
wildlife community, request
information from us that we obtain from
FWS Form 3–177.
Businesses or individuals must file
FWS Form 3–177 with us at the time
and port where they request clearance of
the import or export of wildlife or
wildlife products. In certain instances,
FWS Form 3–177 may be filed with U.S.
Customs and Border Protection. The
standard information collection

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 118 / Tuesday, June 20, 2006 / Notices
includes the name of the importer or
exporter and broker, the scientific and
common name of the fish or wildlife,
permit numbers (if permits are
required), a description of the fish or
wildlife, quantity and value of the fish
or wildlife, and natural country of origin
of the fish or wildlife. In addition,
certain information, such as the airway
bill or bill of lading number, the
location of the fish or wildlife for
inspection, and the number of cartons
containing fish or wildlife, assists our
wildlife inspectors if a physical
examination of the shipment is
required. This information collection is
part of a system of records covered by
the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552(a)).

scientific specimens; government
agencies that import or export fish or
wildlife specimens for various purposes.

Total Annual Responses: 168,920. We
estimate that 94,595 (56 percent) will be

Lake Counties, Tennessee, and Fulton
County, Kentucky.
SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service
announces that Final Comprehensive
Conservation Plans and Findings of No
Significant Impact for the above
referenced refuges are available for
distribution. The plans were prepared
pursuant to the National Wildlife Refuge
System Improvement Act of 1997, and
in accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, and
describe how the refuges will be
managed over the next 15 years.
ADDRESSES: Copies of these plans may
be obtained by writing to: Randy Cook,
West Tennessee Refuges, 301 N. Church,
Room 201, Dyersburg, Tennessee 38024;
Telephone 731/287–0650. The plans
may also be accessed and downloaded
from the Service’s Internet Web site
https://southeast.fws.gov/planning/.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
availability of the draft comprehensive
conservation plans and environmental
assessments for a 45-day review period
was announced in the Federal Register
on January 4, 2006 (71 FR 353). The
Service evaluated four alternatives for
managing the refuges and selected
Alternative D as the preferred
alternative. This alternative was
developed based on public input and
the best professional judgment of the
planning team. Under Alternative D,
refuge lands will be more intensely
managed than at present to provide
high-quality habitat for wildlife, which
will work toward fulfilling the habitat
objectives outlined in the Mississippi

Frm 00038

Alluvial Valley Migratory Bird
Initiative, and will include significant
benefits for waterfowl, shorebirds, and
neotropical migratory birds. This
alternative will significantly benefit
wetland-dependent migratory bird
species by increasing and enhancing
breeding, wintering, and migration
habitats. This alternative contributes
directly to the objectives of the Lower
Mississippi Joint Venture of the North
American Waterfowl Management Plan,
the partners in Flight—Mississippi
Alluvial Valley Habitat Conservation
Plan, the United States Shorebird
Conservation Plan, West Tennessee
Wildlife Resources Conservation Plan,
and the North American Woodcock
Plan. It provides integrated migratory
bird management objectives in a
landscape-level, biologically driven
framework, which includes creating and
maintaining additional moist-soil units
and restoring bottomland hardwood
forest habitats.
Fisheries management will be
emphasized and, where appropriate,
restored for native diversity within the
floodplain. Refuge habitats will be
managed and restored for natural
diversity in support of national and
regional plans. Forest management will
address the need to restore and enhance
the red oak component for migratory
waterfowl and develop vertical structure
to provide habitat for a diversity of
species, particularly priority migratory
birds. Any future reforestation efforts
will incorporate greater native tree
species diversity.
This alternative will encourage more
public recreational and educational
uses, where feasible, while intensifying
