information was published on June 27,
2017 (82 FR 29093). No comments were
received in response to that notice.
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Service; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Service enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Service minimize the burden
of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire

you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: Some of the world’s most
treasured and exotic animals are
dangerously close to extinction.
Destruction of natural habitat, illegal
poaching, and pet-trade smuggling are
devastating populations of tigers,
rhinos, marine turtles, great apes,
elephants, and many other highly
cherished species. The Division of
International Conservation and Division
of Scientific Authority administer
competitive grant programs funded
under the following authorities:
• African Elephant Conservation Act
(16 U.S.C. 4201–4245).
• Asian Elephant Conservation Act of
1997 (16 U.S.C. 4261).
• Great Apes Conservation Act of
2000 (16 U.S.C. 85).
• Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation
Act of 1994 (16 U.S.C. 5306).
• Marine Turtle Conservation Act (16
U.S.C. 82).
• Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) (Wildlife Without Borders
Programs—Africa, Mexico, Latin
America and the Caribbean, Russia,
Critically Endangered Species,
Combatting Wildlife Trafficking, and
Amphibians in Decline).
Applicants submit proposals for
funding in response to Notices of
Funding Opportunity published by the
Service on Grants.gov. We collect the
following information:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:01 Sep 29, 2017
Jkt 244001
• Project summary and narrative.
• Letter of appropriate government
endorsement.
• Brief curricula vitae for key project
personnel.
• Complete Standard Forms 424 and
424b (nondomestic applicants do not
submit the standard forms).
Proposals may also include, as
appropriate, a copy of the organization’s
Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement
(NICRA) and any additional
documentation supporting the proposed
project.
The project summary and narrative
are the basis for this information
collection. A panel of technical experts
reviews each proposal to assess how
well the project addresses the priorities
identified by each program’s authorizing
legislation and the associated project
costs. As all of the on-the-ground
projects are conducted outside the
United States, the letter of appropriate
government endorsement ensures that
the proposed activities will be
supportive of locally identified
priorities and needs. Brief curricula
vitae for key project personnel allow the
review panel to assess the qualifications
of project staff to effectively carry out
the project goals and objectives. As all
Federal entities must honor the indirect
cost rates an organization has negotiated
with its cognizant agency, we require all
organizations with a NICRA to submit
the agreement paperwork with their
proposals to verify how their rate is
applied in their proposed budget.
All assistance awards under these
grant programs have a maximum
reporting requirement of:
• An interim report (performance
report and a financial status report) as
appropriate, and
• A final report (performance and
financial status report and copies of all
deliverables, photographic
documentation of the project and
products resulting from the project) due
within 90 days of the end of the
performance period.
In accordance with DOI/FWS Policy,
FWS Form 3–2338, ‘‘International
Conservation Programs Cover Page) has
expired and been replaced by the
Standard Form 424 for all applicants to
all of our programs. Accordingly, this
collection is being revised to remove
FWS Form 3–2338 which is no longer
used.
Title of Collection: International
Conservation Grant Programs.

unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
