Exemption
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
State Exemption. During the effective
period of this exemption, States are
exempt from the requirement in 49 CFR
1572.13(a) prohibiting renewal of an
eligible individual’s HME for a CDL,
unless the State receives a new STA
(Determination of No Security Threat)
from TSA. For the duration of this
exemption, a State may extend the
expiration date of an eligible
individual’s HME for a period of no
more than 180 days without a new STA.
The State must notify each eligible
individual that he or she is subject to an
STA for renewal of the HME and that he
or she must initiate the STA at least 60
days before the extended expiration date
of the HME. If it is not practicable for
a State to give individualized notice to
drivers, the State may publish general
notice, for example, on the appropriate
website. TSA will continue to
recurrently vet these individuals against
terrorism and other governmental watch
lists and databases and reserves
authority under 49 CFR 1572.5(b) and
1572.13 to direct a State to revoke an
individual’s HME immediately and at
any time.
For purposes of this exemption, an
eligible individual is defined as an
individual who held a valid, unexpired
HME with an STA (Determination of No
Security Threat) on or after March 1,
2020, which HME has expired or would
otherwise expire between that date and
the close of the effective period of this
exemption.
Limits of Exemption: This exemption
does not apply to new HMEs nor does
it affect any other requirements
applicable to obtaining a commercial
driver’s license under 49 CFR parts 383
and 384.

general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,

requested data in the desired format.
On October 3, 2019, we published a
Federal Register notice with a 60-day

public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information (84 FR 52892). In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on December 2, 2019. We
received no comments in response to
that notice.
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 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
comment—including your personal

Abstract: The Lacey Act (Act, 18
U.S.C. 42) prohibits the importation of
any animal deemed to be and prescribed
by regulation to be injurious to:
• Human beings;
• The interests of agriculture,
horticulture, and forestry; or
• Wildlife or the wildlife resources of
the United States.
Implementation and enforcement of
the Lacy Act is the responsibility of the
Department of the Interior. The 50 CFR
16.13 regulations allow for the
importation of dead uneviscerated
salmonids (family Salmonidae), live
salmonids, live fertilized eggs, or
gametes of salmonid fish into the United
States. To effectively carry out our
responsibilities and protect the aquatic
resources of the United States, it is
necessary to collect information
regarding the source, destination, and
health status of salmonid fish and their
reproductive parts. In order to evaluate
import requests that contain this data, it
is imperative that the information
collected is accurate. Those individuals
who provide the fish health data and
sign the health certificate must
demonstrate professional qualifications,
and be approved as Title 50 Certifiers by
E:\FR\FM\08APN1.SGM
08APN1
19770
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.

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
