Abstract: This new information collection request supports requirements under the CITES treaty (27 U.S.T. 1087) and regulations in 50 CFR 23.46 pertaining to the registration of commercial facilities breeding species listed in CITES Appendix I. CITES Appendix I includes species that are threatened with extinction and are, or may be, affected by international trade. Article III of the Treaty prohibits international commercial trade in Appendix-I species; however, Article VII, paragraph 5 allows an exemption to this prohibition under certain circumstances. CITES Resolution Conf. 10.16 (Rev.) and Resolution Conf. 12.10 (Rev. CoP15) establish procedures under which a commercial breeding operation can register with the CITES Secretariat to conduct international commercial trade in Appendix-I specimens. These procedures are contained in U.S. regulations in 50 CFR 23.46. The collection of information from individuals wishing to register an Appendix-I breeding facility was approved under OMB No. 1018-0093 (Form 3-200-65). Under CITES Resolution Conf. 12.10 (Rev. CoP15), Management Authorities must monitor registered facilities to detect major changes in the nature of the operations or the specimens being produced for export. We are proposing to establish a requirement that registrations be renewed every 5 years to assist us in monitoring these facilities and identifying major changes, if any, in their operations. This new request is to collect information through an application for renewal that will allow us to determine whether an operation continues to meet the requirements for registration.
