Abstract: The Endangered Species Act
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) makes it
unlawful to import or export fish,
wildlife, or plants without filing a
declaration or report deemed necessary
for enforcing the Act or upholding the
Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species (CITES) (see 16
U.S.C. 1538(e)). With a few exceptions,
businesses, individuals, or government
agencies importing into or exporting
from the United States any fish,
wildlife, or wildlife product must
complete and submit to the Service an
FWS Form 3-177 (Declaration for
Importation or Exportation of Fish or
Wildlife). This form as well as FWS
Form 3-177a (Continuation Sheet) and
instructions for completion are available
for electronic submission at https://
edecs.fws.gov. These forms are also
available in hard copy at http://
www.fws.gov/forms/ .
The information that we collect is
unique to each wildlife shipment and
enables us to:
• Accurately inspect the contents of
the shipment;
• Enforce any regulations that pertain
to the fish, wildlife, or wildlife products
contained in the shipment; and
• Maintain records of the importation
and exportation of these commodities.
Businesses or individuals must file
FWS Forms 3-177 and 3-177a with us at
the time and port where they request
clearance of the import or export of
wildlife or wildlife products. Our
regulations allow for certain species of
wildlife to be imported or exported
between the United States and Canada
or Mexico at U.S. Customs and Border
Protection ports, even though our
wildlife inspectors may not be present.
In these instances, importers and
exporters may file the forms with U.S.
Customs and Border Protection. We
collect the following information:
(1) Name of the importer or exporter
and broker.

(2) Scientific and common name of
the fish or wildlife.
(3) Permit numbers (if permits are
required).
(4) Description, quantity, and value of
the fish or wildlife.
(5) Natural country of origin of the
fish or wildlife.
In addition, certain information, such
as the airway bill or bill of lading
number, the location of the fish or
wildlife for inspection, and the number
of cartons containing fish or wildlife,
assists our wildlife inspectors if a
physical examination of the shipment is
necessary.
Comments: On August 13, 2009, we
published in the Federal Register (74
FR 40836) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB renew this ICR. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on October 13, 2009. We
received one comment. The commenter
strongly supported the collection of this
information and suggested the following
ways to improve the quality of data
collected:
Issue: FWS Form 3-177 should have
language stating that filing a false or
incomplete declaration may result in a
penalty.
Response: The form already includes
this language. FWS Form 3-177 contains
the following statement: ‘‘Knowingly
making a false statement in a
Declaration for Importation or
Exportation of Fish and Wildlife may
subject the declarant to the penalty
provided by 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 16
U.S.C. 3372(d).’’ In addition, item 22 of
the form includes the following
certification statement prior to signature
‘‘I certify under penalty of perjury that
the information furnished is true and
correct.’’ We have added this language
to the instructions as well.
Issue: The instructions for FWS Form
3-177 should include more direction on
how the species and subspecies should
be identified. Also, instructions are
needed regarding entering the identifier

wildlife, or wildlife products; scientific
institutions that import or export fish or
wildlife scientific specimens; and
government agencies that import or
export fish or wildlife specimens for
various purposes.

number and ID type for questions 13,

Response: The instructions for FWS
Form 3-177 include guidance for
accurately identifying species, including
the requirement to provide the scientific
name (Latin name including genus and
species and subspecies, if applicable)
and the common name in English. The
instructions also include guidance for
entering the identifier number and ID
type.
Issue: The Service should standardize
the units of measure used on FWS Form
3-177 incorporating quantity, length,
weight, and volume.
Response: We do not believe that this
is practical and have not made any
changes to the form or instructions.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,

AGENCY: National Park Service,

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C)

(Draft GMP/EIS) for Roosevelt-

Vanderbilt National Historic Sites, New
York.
Consistent with National Park Service
laws, regulations, and policies, and the
purposes of the National Historic Sites,
the Draft GMP/EIS describes and
analyzes three alternatives (No-Action,
Action Alternative One, and Action
Alternative Two) to guide the
management of the National Historic
Sites over the next 20 years. The Draft
GMP/EIS covers the three units of the
national park system that compose
Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic
Sites: Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt
National Historic Site; Eleanor
Roosevelt National Historic Site; and
Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic
Site. The three national historic sites are
combined into a single administrative
unit, but each was established by
separate legislation and each has its
own purpose and significance. At
present, management of the National
Historic Sites is guided by three
separate planning documents. Although
a GMP was needed for each of the sites,
a single unifying plan was deemed to be
the most expeditious and critical for
continued coordinated management.
Primary planning issues include
preservation and treatment of cultural
resources, provision of visitor services,
and partnership opportunities. The
alternatives incorporate various
management prescriptions to ensure
protection, access, and enjoyment of the
parks’ resources. The No Action
Alternative would continue the current
management direction. Action
Alternative One would emphasize
restoring historic appearance and
encouraging visitors to explore more of
the estate buildings and landscape.
Action Alternative Two would seek to
make the parks relevant to more
audiences by encouraging greater civic
participation in park activities, while
significantly enhancing the historic
character of park resources. Action
Alternative Two is the National Park
Service’s preferred alternative. The Draft
GMP/EIS evaluates the potential
environmental consequences of
implementing the alternatives. Impact
topics include the cultural, natural, and
socioeconomic environments.
DATES: The National Park Service will
accept comments on the Draft GMP/EIS
from the public for a period of 60 days
following publication of the
Environmental Protection Agency’s
Notice of Availability in the Federal
Register. The National Park Service will
also hold a public forum to solicit
comments on the Draft GMP/EIS during
the public review period. The date, time
and location will be announced in local
