Certificate and carried out in
compliance with its terms and
conditions. Section 302(b)(1) of the
Export Trading Company Act of 1982
and 15 CFR 325.6(a) require the
Secretary to publish a notice in the
Federal Register identifying the
applicant and summarizing its proposed
export conduct.

comments relevant to the determination
whether an amended Certificate should
be issued. If the comments include any
privileged or confidential business
information, it must be clearly marked
and a nonconfidential version of the
comments (identified as such) should be
included. Any comments not marked as
privileged or confidential business
information will be deemed to be
nonconfidential.

two (2) copies of the nonconfidential
version, should be submitted no later
than 20 days after the date of this notice
to: Export Trading Company Affairs,
International Trade Administration,

Information submitted by any person
is exempt from disclosure under the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The Endangered Species Act of 1973
(ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq.) imposed
prohibitions against the taking of
endangered species. In 1982, Congress
revised the ESA to allow permits
authorizing the taking of endangered
species incidental to otherwise lawful
activities. The corresponding
regulations (50 CFR part 222.222)
established procedures for persons to
apply for such a permit. In addition, the
regulations set forth specific reporting
requirements for such permit holders.
The regulations contain three sets of
information collections: (1)
Applications for incidental take permits,
(2) applications for certificates of
inclusion, and (3) reporting
requirements for permits issued.
Certificates of inclusion are only
required if a general permit is issued to
a representative of a group of potential
permit applicants, rather than requiring
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

each entity to apply for and receive a
permit.
The required information is used to
evaluate the impacts of the proposed
activity on endangered species, to make
the determinations required by the ESA
prior to issuing a permit, and to
establish appropriate permit conditions.
When a species is listed as threatened,
section 4(d) of the ESA requires the
Secretary to issue whatever regulations
are deemed necessary or advisable to
provide for conservation of the species.
In many cases those regulations reflect
blanket application of the section 9 take
prohibition. However, the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
recognizes certain exceptions to that
prohibition, including habitat
restoration actions taken in accord with
approved state watershed action plans.
While watershed plans are prepared for
other purposes in coordination with or
fulfillment of various state programs, a
watershed group wishing to take
advantage of the exception for
restoration activities (rather than
obtaining a section 10 permit) would
have to submit the plan for NMFS
review.
II. Method of Collection
Currently, most information is
collected on paper, but in some
instances, there is electronic access and
capability.
III. Data
OMB Number: 0648–0230.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a currently approved
information collection).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households, business or other for-profit,
not-for-profit institutions, and state,
local, or tribal government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
13.
Estimated Time per Response: 80
hours for a permit application
(including Habitat Conservation Plans),
40 minutes for transfer of an incidental
take permit; 8 hours for a permit report,
30 minutes for a Certificate of Inclusion
and 10 hours for a watershed plan.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 472.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $450 in recordkeeping/reporting
costs.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
