Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 68 / Wednesday, April 8, 2020 / Notices
the Fish and Wildlife Service through
an application process.
We use three forms to collect this
Title 50 Certifier application
information:
(1) FWS Form 3–2273 (Title 50
Certifying Official Form). New
applicants and those seeking
recertification as a title 50 certifying
official provide information so that we
can assess their qualifications.
(2) FWS Form 3–2274 (U.S. Title 50
Certification Form). Certifying officials
use this form to affirm the health status
of the fish or fish reproductive products
to be imported.
(3) FWS Form 3–2275 (Title 50
Importation Request Form). We use the
information on this form to ensure the
safety of the shipment and to track and
control importations.
With this submission, we updated
FWS Forms 3–2273 and 3–2275 to
clarify the information collected. We
did not make any updates to Form 3–
2274. We also plan to begin publishing,
with OMB approval, the results of this
information collection for Form 3–2273
on a publically accessible, Servicemanaged web page to inform importers
of Certified Signing Officials by country
of origin.
Title of Collection: Injurious Wildlife;
Importation Certification for Live Fish
and Fish Eggs (50 CFR 16.13).

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 or
threatened 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 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
