Abstract: The Endangered Species Act
(ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) makes it
unlawful to import or export wildlife or
wildlife products for commercial
purposes without first obtaining an
import/export license (see 16 U.S.C.
1538(d)). The ESA also requires that fish
or wildlife be imported into or exported
from the United States only at a
designated port, or at a nondesignated
port under certain limited
circumstances (see 16 U.S.C. 1538(f)).
This information collection includes the
following permit/license application
forms:
FWS Form 3–200–2, ‘‘Designated Port
Exception Permit’’
Under 50 CFR 14.11, it is unlawful to
import or export wildlife or wildlife
products at ports other than those
designated in 50 CFR 14.12, unless you
qualify for an exception. The following
exceptions allow qualified individuals,
businesses, or scientific organizations to
import or export wildlife or wildlife
products at a nondesignated port:
(a) To export the wildlife or wildlife
products for scientific purposes;
E:\FR\FM\16SEN1.SGM
16SEN1
48633
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 179 / Monday, September 16, 2019 / Notices
(b) To minimize deterioration or loss;
or
(c) To relieve economic hardship.
To request authorization to import or
export of wildlife or wildlife products at
nondesignated ports, applicants must
complete FWS Form 3–200–2.
Designated port exception permits can
be valid for up to 2 years. We may
require a permittee to file a report on
activities conducted under authority of
the permit.
FWS Form 3–200–3a, ‘‘Federal Fish and
Wildlife Permit Application Form:
Import/Export License—U.S. Entities,’’
and 3–200–3b, ‘‘Federal Fish and
Wildlife Permit Application Form:
Import/Export License—Foreign
Entities’’
It is unlawful to import or export
wildlife or wildlife products for
commercial purposes without first
obtaining an import/export license (50
CFR 14.91). Applicants located in the
United States must complete FWS Form
3–200–3a to request this license.
Foreign applicants that reside or are
located outside the United States must
complete FWS Form 3–200–3b to
request this license.
We use the information collected on
FWS Forms 3–200–3a/3b as an
enforcement tool and management aid
to (a) monitor the international wildlife
market and (b) detect trends and
changes in the commercial trade of
wildlife and wildlife products. Import/
export licenses are valid for up to 1
year. We may require a licensee to file
a report on activities conducted under
authority of the import/export license.
Recordkeeping Requirements
Permittees and licensees must
maintain records that accurately
describe each importation or
exportation of wildlife or wildlife
products made under the license, and
any additional sale or transfer of the
wildlife or wildlife products. In
addition, licensees must make these
records and the corresponding
inventory of wildlife or wildlife
products available for our inspection at
reasonable times, subject to applicable
limitations of law. We believe the
burden associated with these
recordkeeping requirements is minimal
because the records already exist.
Importers and exporters must complete
FWS Form 3–177 (Declaration for
Importation or Exportation of Fish or
Wildlife) for all imports or exports of
wildlife or wildlife products. This form
provides an accurate description of the
imports and exports. OMB has approved
the information collection for FWS
Form 3–177 and assigned OMB Control
Number 1018–0012. Normal business
practices should produce records (e.g.,
invoices or bills of sale) needed to
document subsequent sales or transfers
of the wildlife or wildlife products.
Proposed Revision
With this submission, we propose a
revision to the previously approved
collection of information. The Service
will request OMB approval to transfer
the below-listed forms currently
approved under OMB Control No. 1018–
0093, ‘‘Federal Fish and Wildlife Permit
Applications and Reports—Management
Authority; 50 CFR 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17,
18, 21, 23,’’ into this information
collection (OMB Control No. 1018–
0092):
• FWS Form 3–200–44, ‘‘Permit
Application Form: Registration of an
Agent/Tannery under the Marine
Mammal Protection Act (MMPA),’’ and
• FWS Form 3–200–44a, ‘‘Registered
Agent/Tannery Bi-Annual Inventory
Report.’’
The Service’s Alaska region manages
marine mammals that inhabit Alaskan
waters, as well as the Alaska Native
hunters and handicrafters. Both the
registration of an Agent/Tannery form
and the Registered Agent/Tannery biannual inventory report form are issued
and reviewed by the Office of Law
Enforcement in the Alaska Region. As
such, it is more appropriate that these
forms be transferred to, and approved by
OMB, under OMB Control No. 1018–
0092, ‘‘Federal Fish and Wildlife
Applications and Reports—Law
Enforcement; 50 CFR 13 and 14.’’
We use the information collected on
FWS Form 3–200–44 for only the

registration of qualified agents and
tanneries for polar bear (Ursus
maritimus), walrus (Odobenus

(Enhydra lutris kenyoni) under the
Marine Mammal Protection Act. This
registration facilitates the transfer of
marine mammal specimens taken by
Alaskan Natives for the purposes of
subsistence or creation of authentic
Native handicraft articles and clothing.
Biannually (twice a year) on or before
the 10th day of January and July, we
require that the permittee submit to the
Service FWS Form 3–200–44a,
containing detailed activities of each
registered agent or registered tannery for
each transaction related to Polar bear,
Walrus, and Alaskan sea otter. If no
transactions occurred, the permittee
must submit a negative report.
The associated estimated annual
burden of Forms 3–200–44/44a is 45
responses and 42 burden hours. If OMB
approves this revision request, we will
initiate a revision to OMB Control No.
1018–0093 to remove those two forms to
avoid duplication of burden.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's

On April 30, 2019, we published a Federal Register notice with a
60-day public comment period soliciting comments on this collection of
information (84 FR 18309). In that notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on July 1, 2019. We received one comment which did not
address the information collection requirements.
We are again soliciting comments on the 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

Abstract: The Endangered Species Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
makes it unlawful to import or export wildlife or wildlife products for
commercial purposes without first obtaining an import/export license
(see 16 U.S.C. 1538(d)). The ESA also requires that fish or wildlife be
imported into or exported from the United States only at a designated
port, or at a nondesignated port under certain limited circumstances
(see 16 U.S.C. 1538(f)). This information collection includes the
following permit/license application forms:
FWS Form 3-200-2, ``Designated Port Exception Permit''
Under 50 CFR 14.11, it is unlawful to import or export wildlife or
wildlife products at ports other than those designated in 50 CFR 14.12,
unless you qualify for an exception. The following exceptions allow
qualified individuals, businesses, or scientific organizations to
import or export wildlife or wildlife products at a nondesignated port:
(a) To export the wildlife or wildlife products for scientific
purposes;
[[Page 48633]]
(b) To minimize deterioration or loss; or
(c) To relieve economic hardship.
To request authorization to import or export of wildlife or
wildlife products at nondesignated ports, applicants must complete FWS
Form 3-200-2. Designated port exception permits can be valid for up to
2 years. We may require a permittee to file a report on activities
conducted under authority of the permit.
FWS Form 3-200-3a, ``Federal Fish and Wildlife Permit Application Form:
Import/Export License--U.S. Entities,'' and 3-200-3b, ``Federal Fish
and Wildlife Permit Application Form: Import/Export License--Foreign
Entities''
It is unlawful to import or export wildlife or wildlife products
for commercial purposes without first obtaining an import/export
license (50 CFR 14.91). Applicants located in the United States must
complete FWS Form 3-200-3a to request this license. Foreign applicants
that reside or are located outside the United States must complete FWS
Form 3-200-3b to request this license.
We use the information collected on FWS Forms 3-200-3a/3b as an
enforcement tool and management aid to (a) monitor the international
wildlife market and (b) detect trends and changes in the commercial
trade of wildlife and wildlife products. Import/export licenses are
valid for up to 1 year. We may require a licensee to file a report on
activities conducted under authority of the import/export license.
Recordkeeping Requirements
Permittees and licensees must maintain records that accurately
describe each importation or exportation of wildlife or wildlife
products made under the license, and any additional sale or transfer of
the wildlife or wildlife products. In addition, licensees must make
these records and the corresponding inventory of wildlife or wildlife
products available for our inspection at reasonable times, subject to
applicable limitations of law. We believe the burden associated with
these recordkeeping requirements is minimal because the records already
exist. Importers and exporters must complete FWS Form 3-177
(Declaration for Importation or Exportation of Fish or Wildlife) for
all imports or exports of wildlife or wildlife products. This form
provides an accurate description of the imports and exports. OMB has
approved the information collection for FWS Form 3-177 and assigned OMB
Control Number 1018-0012. Normal business practices should produce
records (e.g., invoices or bills of sale) needed to document subsequent
sales or transfers of the wildlife or wildlife products.
Proposed Revision
With this submission, we propose a revision to the previously
approved collection of information. The Service will request OMB
approval to transfer the below-listed forms currently approved under
OMB Control No. 1018-0093, ``Federal Fish and Wildlife Permit
Applications and Reports--Management Authority; 50 CFR 12, 13, 14, 15,
16, 17, 18, 21, 23,'' into this information collection (OMB Control No.
1018-0092):
FWS Form 3-200-44, ``Permit Application Form: Registration
of an Agent/Tannery under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA),''
and
FWS Form 3-200-44a, ``Registered Agent/Tannery Bi-Annual
Inventory Report.''
The Service's Alaska region manages marine mammals that inhabit
Alaskan waters, as well as the Alaska Native hunters and handicrafters.
Both the registration of an Agent/Tannery form and the Registered
Agent/Tannery bi-annual inventory report form are issued and reviewed
by the Office of Law Enforcement in the Alaska Region. As such, it is
more appropriate that these forms be transferred to, and approved by
OMB, under OMB Control No. 1018-0092, ``Federal Fish and Wildlife
Applications and Reports--Law Enforcement; 50 CFR 13 and 14.''
We use the information collected on FWS Form 3-200-44 for only the
registration of qualified agents and tanneries for polar bear (Ursus
maritimus), walrus (Odobenus rosmarus), and Alaskan sea otter (Enhydra
lutris kenyoni) under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. This
registration facilitates the transfer of marine mammal specimens taken
by Alaskan Natives for the purposes of subsistence or creation of
authentic Native handicraft articles and clothing.
Biannually (twice a year) on or before the 10th day of January and
July, we require that the permittee submit to the Service FWS Form 3-
200-44a, containing detailed activities of each registered agent or
registered tannery for each transaction related to Polar bear, Walrus,
and Alaskan sea otter. If no transactions occurred, the permittee must
submit a negative report.
The associated estimated annual burden of Forms 3-200-44/44a is 45
responses and 42 burden hours. If OMB approves this revision request,
we will initiate a revision to OMB Control No. 1018-0093 to remove
those two forms to avoid duplication of burden.
