Flora (CITES) Appendix-II populations

species import permit. Applications for
permits required under current
regulations (for import of African
elephant sport-hunted trophies from
CITES Appendix-I populations) are
approved under OMB Control Number
1018–0093, which expires May 31,
2017. Under the revised rule, permits
will be required to import all African
elephant sport-hunted trophies from
both Appendix-I and Appendix-II
populations. As a result of the revised
4(d) rule, we expect to receive an
additional 300 applications for permits.
The burden associated with these
additional applications is the basis of
this information collection.
We requested that OMB approve, on
an emergency basis, our request to
collect information associated with
permits to import African elephant
sport-hunted trophies from Appendix-II
populations. We asked for emergency
approval because of the potential
negative effects of delaying publication
of the final 4(d) rule. OMB approved our
request and assigned OMB Control No.
1018–0164, which expires November
30, 2016.
We will ask OMB to grant regular
approval (3 years) for this information
collection. If OMB grants regular
approval, we will include the burden
