Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 237 / Friday, December 9, 2011 / Notices
Chapter 512 DM 2, and the Department
of Commerce American Indian and
Alaska Native Policy (March 30, 1995),
we have considered possible effects on
federally recognized Indian tribes and
have determined that there are no
potential adverse effects of issuing this
draft policy. As noted above, we cannot
reasonably predict those species for
which we will receive petitions to list,
delist, or reclassify, or whether a
species’ specific circumstances would
result in us listing a species based on its
status in an SPR. We therefore cannot
predict which entities, including
federally recognized Indian tribes,
would be affected by listing a species as
endangered or threatened based on its
status in an SPR or the extent of those
impacts. Given our experience
implementing the Act, we believe few if
any entities, including tribes, would be
affected.
However, the Act requires that we
give notice of and seek comment on any
proposal to list, delist, or reclassify any
species prior to a final decision. Our
proposed rules to list, delist, or
reclassify species would indicate the
types of activities that may be affected
by resulting regulatory requirements of
the Act. Any potentially affected
federally recognized Indian tribes would
be notified of a proposed determination
and given the opportunity to review and
comment on the proposed rules.

H. Paperwork Reduction Act
This draft policy does not contain any
new collections of information that
require approval by Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
the Paperwork Reduction Act. This
policy would not impose recordkeeping
or reporting requirements on State or
local governments, individuals,
businesses, or organizations. An agency
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.
that significantly affect energy supply,
distribution, and use. Executive Order
13211 requires agencies to prepare
Statements of Energy Effects when
undertaking certain actions. This draft
policy, if made final, is not expected to
affect energy supplies, distribution, and
use. Therefore, this action is a not a
significant energy action, and no
Statement of Energy Effects is required.
We are required by Executive Orders
12866 and 12988 and by the
Presidential Memorandum of June 1,
1998, to write all rules in plain
language. This means that each rule or
policy we publish must:
(a) Be logically organized;
(b) Use the active voice to address
readers directly;
(c) Use clear language rather than
jargon;
(d) Be divided into short sections and
sentences; and
(e) Use lists and tables wherever
possible.
If you feel that we have not met these
requirements, send us comments by one
of the methods listed in the ADDRESSES
section. To better help us revise the
policy, your comments should be as
specific as possible. For example, you
should tell us the sections or paragraphs
that are unclearly written, which
sections or sentences are too long, the
sections where you feel lists or tables
would be useful, etc.

Correction
On October 28, 2011, we published a
Federal Register notice inviting the
public to comment on several
applications for permits to conduct
certain activities with endangered
species (76 FR 66954). We made an
error by omitting one animal in Leonard
Voyle’s application (PRT–57362A),
which starts in the first column on page
66955. The omission is for an additional
male bontebok (Damaliscus pygargus
pygargus), for a total of two animals, not
one. All the other information we
printed was correct. With this notice,
we correct that error and reopen the
comment period for PRT–57362A. The
corrected entry for this application is as

Correction
On October 28, 2011, we published a Federal Register notice
inviting the public to comment on several applications for permits to
conduct certain activities with endangered species (76 FR 66954). We
made an error by omitting one animal in Leonard Voyle's application
(PRT-57362A), which starts in the first column on page 66955. The
omission is for an additional male bontebok (Damaliscus pygargus
pygargus), for a total of two animals, not one. All the other
information we printed was correct. With this notice, we correct that
error and reopen the comment period for PRT-57362A. The corrected entry
for this application is as follows:
Applicant: Leonard Voyles, Richmond, TX; PRT-57362A
The applicant requests a permit to import the sport-hunted trophy
of two male bontebok (Damaliscus pygargus pygargus), culled from a
captive herd maintained under the management program of the Republic of
South Africa, for the purpose of enhancement of the survival of the
species.
