The Lacey Act (18 U.S.C. 42) (Act)
prohibits the possession or importation
of any animal or plant deemed to be and
prescribed by regulation to be injurious
to:
• Human beings;
• The interests of agriculture,
horticulture, and forestry; or

the United States.

The Act and regulations at 50 CFR part
16 allow for the importation of animals
classified as injurious if specific criteria
are met. To effectively carry out
responsibilities and protect the aquatic
resources of the United States, we must
gather information on the animals being
imported with regard to their source,
destination, and health status. It is also
imperative that we ensure the
qualifications of those individuals who
provide the fish health data upon which
we base our decision to allow
importation.
We use three forms to collect this
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.

to:

of employment (with address) and work
phone number, fax number, and e-mail
address.
• Professional degrees.
• Primary duties.
• Areas of expertise and related
certifications.
• Facilities available for diagnostic
tests and available equipment.

conducting the assays.
• Site from which the animals or eggs
will be shipped.
• Dates of the shipment.
• Means of shipment and anticipated
border crossing.
(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. Information
includes, but is not limited to:
• Name and address of company/
agency and facility receiving animals or
eggs.
• Number, life stage, and species of
animals or eggs.
• Origin of animals or eggs.

SUMMARY:

Under section 101(b) of the Marine
Mammal Protection Act of 1972
(MMPA), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361–
1407), Alaska Natives residing in Alaska
and dwelling on the coast of the North
Pacific or Arctic Oceans may harvest
polar bears, northern sea otters, and
Pacific walrus for subsistence or
handicraft purposes. Section 109(i) of
the MMPA authorizes the Secretary of
the Interior to prescribe marking,
tagging, and reporting regulations
applicable to the Alaska Native
subsistence and handicraft take.
On behalf of the Secretary, we
implemented regulations at 50 CFR
18.23(f) for Alaska Natives harvesting
polar bear, northern sea otter, and
Pacific walrus. These regulations enable
us to gather data on the Alaska Native
subsistence and handicraft harvest and

on the biology of polar bear, northern
sea otter, and Pacific walrus in Alaska
to determine what effect such take may
be having on these populations. The
regulations also provide us with a
means of monitoring the disposition of
the harvest to ensure that any
commercial use of products created
from these species meets the criteria set
forth in section 101(b) of the MMPA. We
use three forms to collect the
information, which includes, but is not
limited to:
• Date of kill.
• Sex of the animal.
• Kill location.
• Age of the animal (i.e., adult,
subadult, cub, or pup).
• Form of transportation used to
make the kill of polar bears.
• Amount of time (i.e., hours/days
hunted) spent hunting polar bears.
• Type of take (live killed or beach
found) for walrus.
• Number of otters present in and
number of otters harvested from pod.
• Condition of the bear and whether
or not polar bear cubs were present.
• Name of the hunter or possessor of
the specified parts at the time of
marking, tagging, and reporting.

We invite comments concerning this
information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
