Abstract: The Convention on
International Trade in Endangered
Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
(CITES) uses a system of permits and
certificates to help ensure that
international trade is legal and does not
threaten the survival of wildlife or plant
species in the wild. Prior to the import
or export of CITES-listed species, the
Management Authority and Scientific
Authority must make appropriate
determinations and issue CITES
documents. Section 8A of the
Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.) designates the Secretary of the
Interior as the U.S. Management
Authority and U.S. Scientific Authority
for CITES. The Secretary delegated these
authorities to the Fish and Wildlife
Service.

Before a country can issue an export
permit for CITES Appendix I or II
specimens, the CITES Scientific
Authority of the exporting country must
determine that the export will not be
detrimental to the species, and the
Management Authority must be satisfied
that the specimens were acquired
legally. For the export of Appendix III
specimens, the Management Authority
must be satisfied that the specimens
were acquired legally (CITES does not
require findings from the Scientific
Authority). Prior to the importation of
Appendix I specimens, both the
Scientific Authority and the
Management Authority of the importing
country must make required findings.
The Scientific Authority must also
PO 00000
Frm 00075

monitor trade of all species to ensure
that the level of trade is sustainable.
Article VIII(3) of the treaty states that
participating parties should make efforts
to ensure that CITES specimens are
traded with a minimum of delay.
Section XII of Resolution Conf. 12.3
(Rev. CoP13) recommends use of
simplified procedures for issuing CITES
documents to expedite trade that will
have no impact, or a negligible impact,
on conservation of the species involved.
We use FWS Form 3–200–74 (SingleUse Export Permits Under a Master File
or Annual Program File (CITES)) to
streamline the application process for
CITES documents that involve multiple,
similar actions over a given amount of
time. For the initial application,
respondents use forms designed

srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
34758
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 117 / Friday, June 18, 2010 / Notices
specifically to address their particular
activity (approved under OMB Control
No. 1018–0093). From information in
the application, we create a master file
or annual program file that contains all
the information necessary for us to make
the required legal acquisition and
nondetriment findings. The applicant
can then submit FWS Form 3–200–74 to
request authorization to carry out
multiple, identical activities over the
next 6 months. On FWS Form 3–200–
74, we request information only about
the number of additional documents the
applicant requires to carry out activities
approved under the previous
application process. By referencing
information in the master file or annual
program file, we can quickly issue
partially completed CITES documents
(with certain specific areas left blank for
completion by the applicant).
United States facilities, such as farms
and aquaculture operations, produce
several native U.S. taxa listed in CITES
Appendices II and III in closed and
semi-closed production systems. By
registering a production facility and
setting up a master file, we can expedite
issuance of export permits for that
facility. The registration is valid for 1
year. We use FWS Form 3–200–75
(Registration of a Production Facility for
Export of Certain Native Species
(CITES)) to collect information on
annual production levels, method of
producing specimens, source of the
parental and founder stock, and method
of transport for international trade. This
information allows us to issue
documents on a very short turnaround
time, and we do not need to collect
additional information prior to the
issuance of export documents.
Comments: On February 23, 2010, we
published in the Federal Register (75
FR 8102) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB renew this ICR. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on April 26, 2010. We did
not receive any comments.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your

I. Abstract
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16
U.S.C. 703-711) and the Fish and
Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742d)
designate the Department of the Interior
as the key agency responsible for (1) the
wise management of migratory bird
populations frequenting the United
States, and (2) setting hunting
regulations that allow appropriate
harvests that are within the guidelines
that will allow for those populations’
well-being. These responsibilities
dictate that we gather accurate data on
various characteristics of migratory bird
harvest. Based on information from
harvest surveys, we can adjust hunting
regulations as needed to optimize
harvests at levels that provide a
maximum of hunting recreation while
keeping populations at desired levels.
Under the Migratory Bird Harvest
Program, State licensing authorities
collect the name and address
information needed to provide a sample
frame of all licensed migratory bird
hunters. Since Federal regulations
require that the States collect this
information, we are including the
associated burden in our approval
request to OMB.
The Migratory Bird Hunter Survey is
based on the Migratory Bird Harvest
Information Program, under which each
State annually provides a list of all
migratory bird hunters in the State. We
randomly select migratory bird hunters;
send them either a waterfowl
questionnaire, a dove and band-tailed
pigeon questionnaire, a woodcock
questionnaire, or a snipe, rail, gallinule
and coot questionnaire; and ask them to
report their harvest of those species. The
resulting estimates of harvest per hunter
are combined with the complete list of
migratory bird hunters to provide
estimates of the total harvest of those
species.
The Parts Collection Survey estimates
the species, sex, and age composition of
the harvest, and the geographic and
temporal distribution of the harvest.
Randomly selected successful hunters
who responded to the Migratory Bird
Hunter Survey the previous year are
asked to complete and return a postcard
if they are willing to participate in the
Parts Collection Survey. We provide
postage-paid envelopes to respondents
before the hunting season and ask them
to send in a wing or the tail feathers
from each duck or goose they harvest, or
a wing from each mourning dove,
woodcock, band-tailed pigeon, snipe,
rail, or gallinule they harvest. We use
the wings and tail feathers to identify
the species, sex, and age of the
harvested sample. We also ask
