impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s

public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are soliciting comments on the
proposed information collection request
(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. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before

Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty
Act (MBTA) (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.)
prohibits the unauthorized take of
migratory birds and authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior to regulate take
of migratory birds in the United States.
Under this authority, we control the
hunting of migratory game birds through
regulations in 50 CFR part 20. On
January 1, 1991, we banned lead shot for
hunting waterfowl and coots in the
United States.
Regulations at 50 CFR 20.134 outline
the application and approval process for
new types of nontoxic shot. When
considering approval of a candidate
material as nontoxic, we must ensure
that it is not hazardous in the
environment and that secondary
exposure (ingestion of spent shot or its
components) is not a hazard to
migratory birds. To make that decision,
we require each applicant to provide
information about the solubility and
toxicity of the candidate material.
Additionally, for law enforcement
purposes, a noninvasive field detection
device must be available to distinguish
candidate shot from lead shot. This
information constitutes the bulk of an

application for approval of nontoxic
shot. The Director uses the data in the
application to decide whether to
approve a material as nontoxic.
Title of Collection: Approval
Procedures for Nontoxic Shot and Shot
Coatings (50 CFR 20.134).
OMB Control Number: 1018–0067.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Businesses that produce and/or market
approved nontoxic shot types or
nontoxic shot coatings.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 1.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 3,200 hours.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 3,200 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: $26,630 ($1,630
application processing fee and $25,000
for solubility testing).
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The authority for this action is the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite
the public to comment on applications
for permits under section 10(a)(1)(A) of
the Endangered Species Act, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
The requested permits would allow the
applicants to conduct activities
intended to promote recovery of species
that are listed as endangered under the
ESA.
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits activities that constitute take
of listed species unless a Federal permit
is issued that allows such activity. The
ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes such
activities as pursuing, harassing,
trapping, capturing, or collecting, in
addition to hunting, shooting, harming,
wounding, or killing.
A recovery or interstate commerce
permit issued by us under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA authorizes the
permittee to conduct activities with
endangered or threatened species for
scientific purposes that promote
recovery or for enhancement of
propagation or survival of the species.
These activities often include such
prohibited actions as capture and
collection. Our regulations
implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for
these permits are found in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR
17.22 for endangered wildlife species,
50 CFR 17.32 for threatened wildlife
species, 50 CFR 17.62 for endangered
plant species, and 50 CFR 17.72 for
threatened plant species.
Permit Applications Available for
Review and Comment
Proposed activities in the following
permit requests are for the recovery and
enhancement of propagation or survival
of the species in the wild. The ESA
requires that we invite public comment
before issuing these permits.
Accordingly, we invite local, State,
Tribal, and Federal agencies and the
public to submit written data, views, or
arguments with respect to these
applications. The comments and
recommendations that will be most
useful and likely to influence agency
decisions are those supported by
quantitative information or studies.
