SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
The Captive Wildlife Safety Act
(CWSA) amends the Lacey Act by
making it illegal to import, export, buy,
sell, transport, receive, or acquire, 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. There are several
exemptions to the prohibitions of the
CWSA, including accredited wildlife
sanctuaries.
There is no requirement for wildlife
sanctuaries to submit applications to
qualify for the accredited wildlife
sanctuary exemption. Wildlife
sanctuaries themselves will determine if
they qualify. To qualify, they must meet
all of the following criteria:
• Approval by the United States
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a
corporation that is exempt from taxation
under section 501(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, which is
described in sections 501(c)(3) and
170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of that code.
• Do not engage in commercial trade
in the prohibited wildlife species,
including offspring, parts, and products.
• Do not propagate the prohibited
wildlife species.
• Have no direct contact between the
public and the prohibited wildlife
species.
The basis for this information
collection is the recordkeeping
requirement that we place on accredited
wildlife sanctuaries. We require
accredited wildlife sanctuaries to
maintain complete and accurate records
of any possession, transportation,
acquisition, disposition, importation, or
exportation of the prohibited wildlife
species as defined in the CWSA (50 CFR
part 14, subpart K). Records must be up
to date and include: (1) the names and
addresses of persons to or from whom
any prohibited wildlife species has been
PO 00000
Frm 00074
Fmt 4703

acquired, imported, exported,
purchased, sold, or otherwise
transferred; and (2) the dates of these
transactions. Accredited wildlife
sanctuaries must:
• Maintain these records for 5 years.
• Make these records accessible to
Service officials for inspection at
reasonable hours.
• Copy these records for Service
officials, if requested.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
On March 16, 1934, President
Roosevelt signed the Migratory Bird
Hunting Stamp Act (16 U.S.C. 718a et
seq.) requiring all migratory waterfowl
hunters 16 years of age or older to buy
a Federal migratory bird hunting and
conservation stamp (Federal Duck
Stamp) annually. The stamps are a vital
tool for wetland conservation. Ninetyeight cents out of every dollar generated
by the sale of Federal Duck Stamps goes
directly to purchase or lease wetland
habitat for protection in the National
Wildlife Refuge System. The Federal
Duck Stamp is one of the most
successful conservation programs ever
initiated and is a highly effective way to
conserve America’s natural resources.
Besides serving as a hunting license and
a conservation tool, a current year’s
Federal Duck Stamp also serves as an
entrance pass for national wildlife
refuges where admission is charged.
Duck Stamps and products that bear
stamp images are also popular collector
items.
The Electronic Duck Stamp Act of
2005 (Pub. L. 109–266) required the
Secretary of the Interior to conduct a 3year pilot program under which States
could issue electronic Federal Duck
Stamps. The electronic stamp is valid
for 45 days from the date of purchase
and can be used immediately while
customers wait to receive the actual
stamp in the mail. After 45 days,
customers must carry the actual Federal
Duck Stamp while hunting or to gain
free access to national wildlife refuges.
Eight States participated in the pilot. At
the end of the pilot, we provided a
report to Congress outlining the
successes of the program. The program
improved public participation by
increasing the ability of the public to
obtain required Federal Duck Stamps.
Under our authorities in 16 U.S.C.
718b(a)(2), we have continued the
Electronic Duck Stamp Program in the
eight States that participated in the
pilot. In September 2013, we will
expand the program by inviting all State
fish and wildlife agencies to participate.
Anyone, regardless of State residence,
may purchase an electronic Duck Stamp
through any State that participates in
the program. Interested States must
submit an application (FWS Form 3–
2341). We will use the information
provided in the application to
determine a State’s eligibility to

participate in the program. Information
includes, but is not limited to:
• Information verifying the current
systems the State uses to sell hunting,
fishing, and other associated licenses
and products.
• Applicable State laws, regulations,
or policies that authorize the use of
electronic systems to issue licenses.
• Example and explanation of the
codes the State proposes to use to create
and endorse the unique identifier for the
individual to whom each stamp is
issued.
• Mockup copy of the printed version
of the State’s proposed electronic stamp,
including a description of the format
and identifying features of the licensee
to be specified on the stamp.
• Description of any fee the State will
charge for issuance of an electronic
stamp.
• Description of the process the State
will use to account for and transfer the
amounts collected by the State that are
required to be transferred under the
program.
• Manner by which the State will
transmit electronic stamp customer
data.
Each State approved to participate in
the program must provide the following
information on a weekly basis:
• First name, last name, and complete
mailing address of each individual that
purchases an electronic stamp from the
State.
• Face value amount of each
electronic stamp sold by the State.
• Amount of the Federal portion of
any fee required by the agreement for
each stamp sold.
