NOTICE:

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) and the Privacy Act of
1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) please be advised that:
1. The permitting of compatible economic and public uses on lands of the National Wildlife Refuge System is authorized
by: (a) the National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act (16 U.S.C. 668dd-ee) as amended by the National Wildlife
Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-57); (b) the Refuge Recreation Act (16 U.S.C. 460k-n); (c) Bald
Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 663a); (d) Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1539); (e) Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(16 U.S.C. 703-711); (f) Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1371-1383); (g) Lacey Act (18 U.S.C. 42 and
44); and (h) Tariff Classification Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1202).
2. Public and economic uses of national wildlife refuges may be authorized upon a determination that such uses are
compatible with the purpose(s) for which the refuge was established and the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge
System, and are not inconsistent with public safety. The action also must be in accordance with provisions of all laws
applicable to the area, consistent with the principles of sound fish and wildlife management and otherwise in the public
interest.
3. The application form will be used by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service personnel to evaluate the qualifications and
conclude the eligibility of the applicant. Consistent with 50 CFR 36.41(d)(2), applicants may present the application for
noncompetitively issued permits verbally, if he/she is unable to prepare a written application. Applicants are required to
provide their social security or taxpayer identification number for activities subject to collection of fees by the Service (31
U.S.C. 7701).
4. Routine use disclosures may also be made (1) to the U.S. Department of Justice when related to litigation or
anticipated litigation; (2) of information indicating a violation or potential violation of a statute, regulation, rule, order or
license to appropriate Federal, State, local or foreign agencies responsible for investigating or prosecuting the violation or
for enforcing or implementing the statute, rule, regulation, order or license; (3) from the record of an individual in
response to an inquiry from a Congressional office made at the request of that individual (42 FR 19083; April 11, 1977)
5. Information requested in this form is purely voluntary, but failure to answer questions may jeopardize eligibility to
receive permits. Response is not required unless a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control
number is displayed.
6. The public reporting burden for this information collection varies based on the specific refuge use being requested.
The relevant burden estimate ranges from 20 minutes to 1.5 hours for each noncompetitively bid permit, to 30 hours for
each competitively awarded permit. This burden estimate includes 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 Collection Clearance Officer, Fish and Wildlife Service, Mail Stop 222,
Arlington Square, U.S. Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20240.
