Abstract: The Lacey Act (18 U.S.C. 42)
(Act) prohibits the possession or
importation of any animal deemed to be
and prescribed by regulation to be
injurious to:
• Human beings;
• The interests of agriculture,
horticulture, and forestry; or
• Wildlife or the wildlife resources of
the United States.
The Department of the Interior is
charged with enforcement of this Act.
The Act and regulations at 50 CFR 16
allow for the importation of animals
classified as injurious if specific criteria
are met. To effectively carry out
responsibilities and protect the aquatic
resources of the United States, we must
gather information on the animals being
imported with regard to their source,
destination, and health status. It is also
imperative that we ensure the
qualifications of those individuals who
provide the fish health data and sign the
health certificate upon which we base
our decision to allow importation.

We use three forms to collect this
information:
(1) FWS Form 3–2273 (Title 50
Certifying Official Form). New
applicants and those seeking
recertification as a title 50 certifying
official provide information so that we
can assess their qualifications.
(2) FWS Form 3–2274 (U.S. Title 50
Certification Form). Certifying officials
use this form or their own health
certificate to affirm the health status of
the fish or their reproductive products
to be imported.
(3) FWS Form 3–2275 (Title 50
Importation Request Form). We use the
information on this form to ensure the
safety of the shipment and to track and
control importations.
Comments: On November 6, 2013, we
published in the Federal Register (78
FR 66760) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB renew approval for
this information collection. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on January 6, 2014. We did

Abstract: This information collection
includes requirements associated with
specified oil and gas industry activities
and their incidental taking of polar
bears and Pacific walruses in the
Beaufort and Chukchi Seas. The Marine
Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) of
1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et
seq.), imposed, with certain exceptions,
a moratorium on the taking of marine
mammals. Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the
MMPA directs the Secretary of the
Interior to allow, upon request by
citizens of the United States, the taking
of small numbers of marine mammals
incidental to specified activities (other
than commercial fishing) if the
Secretary makes certain findings and
prescribes specific regulations that,
among other things, establish
permissible methods of taking.
Applicants seeking to conduct
activities must request an LOA for the
specific activity and submit onsite

monitoring reports and a final report of
the activity to the Secretary. This is a
nonform collection. Regulations at 50
CFR 18.27 outline the procedures and
requirements for submitting a request.
Specific regulations governing
authorized activities in the Beaufort Sea
are in 50 CFR part 18, subpart J.
Regulations governing authorized
activities in the Chukchi Sea are in 50
CFR part 18, subpart I. These
regulations provide the applicant with a
detailed description of information that
we need to evaluate the proposed
activity and determine whether or not to
issue specific regulations and,
subsequently, LOAs.
We use the information to verify the
finding required to issue incidental take
regulations, to decide if we should issue
an LOA, and, if issued, what conditions
should be in the LOA. In addition, we
analyze the information to determine
impacts to polar bears and Pacific

walruses and the availability of those
marine mammals for subsistence
purposes of Alaska Natives.
Comments: On October 3, 2013, we
published in the Federal Register (78
FR 61379) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB renew approval for
this information collection. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on December 2, 2013. We
received two comments.
One commenter expressed opposition
to authorization of activities for the oil
and gas industry. We note the concerns
raised by this individual; however, we
do not grant authorization for industry
activities. Instead, we are required
under section 101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA
to take certain actions with regard to the
‘‘incidental taking’’ of marine mammals
that may result from specified activities.
The regulations at 50 CFR 18.27(c)
define incidental, but not intentional,
taking as ‘‘takings which are infrequent,
