Re: Assessment and Collection of
Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2007,
Report and Order and Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking in MD Docket 07–
81
I concur in today’s item to emphasize
my long-held and oft-repeated belief
that the Commission should consider
opening a formal rulemaking to address
the adjustment of regulatory fees
pursuant to section 9(b)(3) of the Act. In
a rapidly-evolving communications
marketplace, we need to look for ways
to ensure that our regulatory fee
methodologies continue to reflect the
industries we regulate. In the absence of
a separate rulemaking, I would have
preferred to address the submarine cable
issue in the Further Notice adopted
herein. I hope that we act on the
pending petition for rulemaking
quickly.

disappointing that the Commission
misses an opportunity to address in this
Further Notice the regulatory fees paid
by submarine cable operators, who have
argued that the current fee structure
results in certain operators paying fees
that can approach the wholesale prices
they receive from their consumers.
Given that these operators have pending
a petition for rulemaking before the
Commission, it is high time for the
Commission to seek comment on these
issues and is regrettable that we do not
do so here. I encourage the Commission
to continue to improve its regulatory fee
assessment processes so that in the
future we are more able to make
adjustments as appropriate.

2007, for the revised information
collection requirements contained in the
Commission’s rules at 47 CFR 64.4002.
The OMB Control Number is 3060–

annual costs.
Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency
may not conduct or sponsor a collection
of information unless it displays a
current, valid OMB Control Number.
No person shall be subject to any
penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
The foregoing notice is required by

Regulations To Implement the Captive
Wildlife Safety Act
Fish and Wildlife Service,

ACTION: Final rule.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, are implementing the
Captive Wildlife Safety Act (CWSA) in
a new subpart K of part 14, Importation,
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:47 Aug 15, 2007
Jkt 211001
Exportation, and Transportation of
Wildlife, in Title 50 of the Code of
Federal Regulations. The CWSA amends
the Lacey Act by making it illegal to
import, export, transport, sell, receive,
acquire, or purchase, in interstate or
foreign commerce, live lions, tigers,
leopards, snow leopards, clouded
leopards, cheetahs, jaguars, or cougars,
or any hybrid combination of any of
these species, unless certain exceptions
are met.
DATES: This final rule is effective
September 17, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kevin Garlick, Special Agent in Charge,
Branch of Investigations, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, (703) 358–1949.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The CWSA was signed into law on
December 19, 2003 (Pub. L. 108–191).
The purpose of the CWSA is to amend
the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981 to
further the conservation of certain
wildlife species and to protect the
public from dangerous animals.
In the early 1900s, Congress
recognized the need to support States in
protecting their game animals and birds
by prohibiting the interstate shipment of
wildlife killed in violation of State or
territorial laws. Today this legislation is
known as the Lacey Act, named for its
principal sponsor, U.S. Representative
John Fletcher Lacey. Most significantly
amended in 1981, the Lacey Act makes
it unlawful to import, export, transport,
sell, receive, acquire, or purchase fish,
wildlife, or plants taken, possessed,
transported, or sold in violation of any
Federal, State, foreign, or Native
American tribal law, treaty, or
regulation. The Lacey Act applies to all
fish and wildlife (including their parts
or products), and to wild plants
(including plant parts) that are
indigenous to the United States and are
included in the appendices to the
Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and
Flora (CITES) or are listed under a State
conservation law.
According to the U.S. Senate report,
the Lacey Act did not explicitly address
the problem of the increasing trade in
certain big cat species. The big cat
species addressed in this rule are the
lion, tiger, leopard, snow leopard,
clouded leopard, cheetah, jaguar,
cougar, and any hybrid combination of
any of these species. They are extremely
effective predators, capable in the wild
of taking down prey twice their own
size. Severe damage to the prey’s
nervous system caused by damage to the
vertebral column, along with massive
PO 00000
Frm 00060

Sfmt 4700
blood loss and nearly instant
suffocation, all contribute to the prey’s
certain and nearly immediate death.
Regardless of whether they were raised
in captivity, big cats are hunters by
nature: it is impossible to predict when
they will revert to instinct.
Contemporary experts on big cat
behavior and physiology note that
humans are not part of the big cats’
natural diet, largely because big cats
have learned to treat humans as another
predator and to be wary of the dangers
of human activity (for example, hunting
and habitat encroachment). When big
cats and humans do share territory or
interact, usually because of human
activity, any number of reasons,
including hunger, can cause big cats to
attack and inflict serious injuries. They
are wild creatures that are never
completely tamed, nor are they totally
predictable, even if they have lived their
entire lives with humans.
According to the U.S. Senate report,
the ownership of big cats has
dramatically increased in popularity. It
is estimated that thousands of
individual big cats are kept as pets in
the United States. This increase is due,
in part, to internet sales and auctions.
This increase in popularity has raised
concerns for public safety as well as for
the welfare of the big cats. As big cats
are often purchased when young, many
owners are unable to cope with the high
maintenance needs of mature big cats.
Too often, the owners lack the resources
and veterinary knowledge these grown
cats require. In the hands of untrained
exotic-pet fanciers, big cats are not only
a potential danger to people, but are
often victims themselves. Additionally,
the burden of care often lands on
already financially strained sanctuaries
or humane societies after the big cats are
abandoned because they are too
dangerous to keep or too expensive to
care for properly.
According to the U.S. Senate report,
over the past 10 years, there have been
thousands of incidents of human injury
and death documented, involving many
different species of wild animals, many
of which were big cats. According to the
Captive Wild Animal Protection
Coalition, in the past 5 years there have
been 123 incidents involving big cats,
including 87 injuries or deaths to adults
and children and 38 animal escapes.
Nineteen States (Alabama, Alaska,
California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, New
Mexico, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, and
Wyoming) prohibit the private
possession of big cats. Sixteen States
(Arizona, Delaware, Indiana, Maine,
