Abstract: The Endangered Species Act (ESA) 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 circumstances. We use the information that we collect on FWS Form 3-200-2 to determine if an applicant qualifies to use a nondesignated port. The ESA also makes it unlawful for any person to engage in business as an importer or exporter of fish or wildlife without first obtaining permission from the Secretary of the Interior. We use the information that we collect on FWS Form 3-200-3 to enforce the Import/Export license conditions derived from the ESA.

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: For this information collection renewal, we are estimating that there will be 15,678 responses totaling 19,596 burden hours. This is an increase of 7,628 responses and 11,546 burden hours from our previous request. We are reporting as a program change: • 5 responses totaling 5 burden hours associated with a report that may be required of nondesignated port permit holders. • 3,566 hours for recordkeeping associated with permits for nondesignated port and Import/Export licenses. While the above recordkeeping and reporting requirements are included in the regulations, our previous request inadvertently omitted the burden. The remaining burden increase is a result of our adjustment in the number of responses based on our experience over the past 3 years and a projected 25-percent increase in the number of responses. The increase in the nonhour cost burden ($762,300) is primarily due to our estimated increase in the number of responses.
