PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA; 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Service collects required information to determine authorization to import or export wildlife, including parts and products, and to facilitate enforcement of the ESA and other wildlife laws and regulations including the provisions of CITES. Providing the information requested in this form is voluntary. However, failure to provide all requested information may be sufficient cause for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to deny authorization to import or export wildlife, including parts and products. According to the PRA, 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. OMB has approved this collection of information and assigned Control No. 1018-0012.
ESTIMATED BURDEN STATEMENT: We estimate the public burden to complete this form to be 15 minutes by hand, or 10 minutes electronically, including time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining data, and completing and reviewing the form. Direct comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of the form to the Service Information Clearance Officer, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 5275 Leesburg Pike, MS: PRB (JAO/3W), Falls Church, VA 22041-3803, or via email to Info_Coll@fws.gov.
