Supporting Statement A for
Paperwork Reduction Act Submission
Federal Fish and Wildlife Permit Applications and Reports-Migratory Birds and Eagles
50 CFR 10, 13, 21, and 22
OMB Control Number 1018-0022
1. Explain the circumstances that make the collection of information necessary.
We collect information on application forms and in reports to determine if applicants for permits
meet the requirements mandated by:
•
•

Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA, 16 U.S.C 703-712; 50 CFR 21).
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act, 16 U.S.C. 668-668d; 50 CFR 22).

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (we, Service) regulations implementing these statutes are in
Chapter I, Subchapter B of Title 50, Code of Federal Regulations. These regulations stipulate
general and specific requirements that when met allow us to issue permits to authorize activities
that are otherwise prohibited.
2. Indicate how, by whom, and for what purpose the information is to be used.
All Service permit applications are in the 3-200 series of forms, each tailored to a specific
activity based on the regulatory requirements for specific types of permits. We collect standard
identifier information for all permits, such as the name of the applicant and the applicant’s
address, telephone and fax numbers, social security or tax identification number, and email
address. Standardizing general information common to the application forms will make filing of
applications easier for the public as well as expedite our review of applications.
The information that we collect on applications and reports is the minimum necessary for us to
determine if the applicant meets/continues to meet issuance requirements for the particular
activity. Respondents submit application forms periodically, as necessary. Submission of
reports is generally on an annual basis, although some are dependent on specific transactions.
We examined applications in this collection, focusing on questions frequently misinterpreted or
not addressed by applicants. This ICR includes modifications to the format and content of the
currently approved applications so that they (a) are easier to understand and complete and (b)
will accommodate future electronic permitting. In addition, we have made the following
revisions:
Applications
We added a question to each application form except those restricted to State wildlife agencies
(3-200-67) and Native American tribes (3-200-15A, 3-200-15B, 3-200-77 and 3-200-78). The
question asks if the applicant or any of the owners of the business, if applying on behalf of a
business, have been convicted or entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, forfeited
collateral, or are currently under charges for any violations of the Lacey Act, MBTA or Eagle
Act. If they have, they must provide: (a) the individual’s name, (b) date of charge, (c) charge(s),
(d) location of incident, (e) court, and (f) action taken for each violation. The reason for this
question is that, in accordance with 50 CFR 13.21(c), a conviction or entry of a plea of guilty or
nolo contendere, for a felony violation of any of these laws disqualifies any such person from

receiving or exercising the privileges of a permit, unless the disqualification has been expressly
waived by the Service Director in response to a written petition.
Eliminate Two Forms
We are eliminating two application forms: falconry (3-200-11) and eagle falconry (3-202-17).
Federal falconry regulations published on October 8, 2008, eliminated the Federal falconry
permit, effective January 1, 2014. All States have adopted their own falconry regulations that
meet the standards in the Federal regulations, and falconers are now only required to have
State falconry permits. This is one of the Service’s burden reduction initiatives.
OMB Control Number 1018-0151
This information collection includes the burden associated with eagle programmatic permits
currently covered under OMB Control Number 1018-0151. Application Form 3-200-71 (Eagle
Take–Necessary to Protect Interests in a Particular Locality) is used for long-term
programmatic permits. These permits allow nonpurposeful take of eagles that is incidental to
otherwise lawful actions. We are not making any substantive changes to this form. We have
only modified Section D to indicate the new permit fees. Once OMB takes action on this ICR,
we will discontinue OMB Control No. 1018-0151.
Eagle Parts for Native American Religious Purposes (Forms 3-200-15A and 3-200-15B)
We have revised the applications that Native Americans use to apply for a permit to possess
eagle parts for religious purposes and to order and reorder parts from the Service’s National
Eagle and Wildlife Repository (NER). The NER receives bald eagle and golden eagle
carcasses from agencies, permittees, and others, and distributes carcasses and parts to Native
Americans who hold an Eagle Indian Religious permit. The NER conducted a National Tribal
consultation in 2012 during which clarification of the form was recommended. The revisions of
Eagle Indian Religious Application & First Order (3-200-15A) and Eagle Indian Religious ReOrder Request (3-200-15B) are clearer and eliminate redundancy.
The Migratory Bird and Eagle Acquisition and Transfer Request (Form 3-202-12)
This form was significantly revised to accommodate transfer approval. We must approve the
transfer of migratory birds and eagles among possession permittees, such as educators, raptor
propagators, falconers. This is necessary to ensure that transferred birds are nonreleasable
(releasable birds must be released by the rehabilitator); the recipient has a permit and is
qualified and approved to possess the species; the permittee has adequate facilities to house
the bird; and the permittee will use the bird for the permitted purpose. The most common
transfer scenario is when a rehabilitator determines that a nonreleasable bird is a good
candidate for educational programs and an educator wants to receive the bird. Another
common transfer is among permitted educators. The form now includes a table listing most
transfer scenarios and clarifies which permittee submits the transfer approval form to which
permit office and the associated supporting documentation necessary. This revision will resolve
confusion for permittees as well as internal staff.
Depredation application (Form 3-200-13)
This form was reorganized and includes a new Take Request Table. This is intended to result in
clearer applications for processing and will also facilitate future conversion to epermitting.
Special Purpose Utility application (Form 3-200-81)
This form was revised based on comments received during outreach for this ICR. These
permits allow utilities such as electric, wind, and solar companies to collect birds found dead on
their property. Two commenters considered parts of the application confusing because it asked
the same questions regardless of whether the applicant was a generation facility (e.g., wind,
2

solar) or a transmission facility (electric). We have adopted recommendations of the
commenters to clarify this.
Avian Injury/Mortality Reporting System (AIMRS)
We have made significant changes to the annual report form for Special Purpose Utility permits
(3-202-17). We are renaming it Avian Injury/Mortality Report and the data will be housed in
Service’s Avian Injury/Mortality Reporting System (AIMRS) created to track incidental take of
migratory birds and eagles. Our goal is to make reporting more convenient for permittees, but
electronic submission will be particularly beneficial for the Service because it will make the data
accessible for analysis without staff having to enter it manually. This will make data on this
important source of mortality readily available to biologists monitoring the impact of incidental
take on populations and working with industry to identify best practices to reduce those impacts.
We will use the Information gathered through AIMRS to track and assess impacts to migratory
birds across the entire Nation. Detailed data are needed to complete Cumulative Effects
analyses compiled from mortality data collected at local scales so that it can be rolled up into a
national scale analysis. In order to ensure that all analyses of these data are accurate, morality
specific information is required to help measure data quality for inclusion in program level
decision analyses.
The electronic report form collects both required and voluntary information. Dropdown
selections are provided for many of the fields.
Fifteen “Required” fields are denoted in bold red font with two asterisks. This is basic
information critical to documenting the mortality. These fields correspond to the information
requested in the current paper report form: species; where (State/county; GPS coordinates in
decimal degrees) and when the bird was recovered; description (dead, alive, parts); apparent
cause of injury or mortality; and disposition of the bird/carcass/parts. “Weather conditions when
mortality/injury likely occurred, if known” is no longer considered “Required”. Two additional
fields would be included as “Required”:
(a) distance to project feature(s) bird carcass found near (in feet). This information provides
information about the likelihood that the structure contributed to the mortality.
(b) type and configuration of structure and structure information, (e.g., structure type;
nameplate information; manufacturer information; model number; height; presence/absence of
guy wires; turbine, pole, structure ID#; line name; circuit number; circuit name; etc.). Since
structures vary so widely, this information is critical to determine patterns and trends associated
with particular types of structures and structure configuration.
Three voluntary “Priority” fields collect the following information:
(a) how the species was identified. This will provide insight into the accuracy of the
identification.
(b) additional details on suspected cause of injury/mortality.
(c) level of certainty for suspected cause.

3

The remaining voluntary fields collect the information listed below, would shed additional light
on the circumstances leading to the incident. Patterns in information can help identify potential
solutions for the mortality.
Specimen details:
(a) Local (or Project) specimen number (if applicable)
(b) Scientific name (include subspecies if known)
(c ) Estimated time dead/Injured before discovery
(d) Name of individual discovering injury/mortality
(e) Official cause of death
(f) Who determined official cause of death? (Lab Name)
(g) Necropsy (yes/no)?
Location details:
(h) Transect/Subplot Number
(i) Feature(s) you see nearby the location where the bird was found
(j) Azimuth of bird/carcass to project feature
(k) Describe the habitat surrounding the carcass or injured animal
Weather:
(l) Estimated weather conditions at time of injury/mortality
(m) Winds speed (day of death, estimated)
(n) Max wind gust speed (day of death, estimated)
(o) Wind direction (day of death, estimated)
(p) Moon phase (Julian calendar phase)
Disposition:
(q) Injured animal outcome (if the bird was injured, what was its outcome?)
(r) Full name of rehabilitation center (if sent to Rehabber) and rehabilitator’s federal permit
number (if available)
Structure/Configuration/ Mitigation/ Retrofit Information:
(s) Flight diverters on transmission line?
(t) Type of flight diverter? (list types)
(u) Avian Power Line Interaction Committee (APLIC) compliant (if electric utility infrastructure?
(v) Describe retrofit and/or mitigation implemented
Additional Information:
(w) Biometric Data on bird (optional, but could include weight, wing chord, tarsus, tail molt, fat
level, brood patch, etc.)
(x) Additional information and notes (band information, other identifying numbers, etc.)
3. Describe whether, and to what extent, the collection of information involves the use
of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology; e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses, and the basis for the decision for adopting this means of collection. Also
describe any consideration of using information technology to reduce burden [and
specifically how this collection meets GPEA requirements.].
Forms in this collection will be available to applicants in a fillable format on our forms and
permits websites, by mail, or by fax. Applicants may complete the fillable application online, but
must send the application form with an original signature and the applicable processing fee by
mail. Applicants may send supporting information by email or fax, if we already have their
application and they are able to reference an application number. We are actively developing a
system for electronic submission of permit application forms or reports; two currently approved
applications belonging to a sister program have been launched. We expect to begin testing
Form 3-200-8, Taxidermy permits, in the near future.

4

As discussed above, Report form 3-202-17, Special Purpose-Utility Report, will be converted to
a spreadsheet format that can be submitted electronically into the Avian Injury/Mortality
Reporting System (AIMRS). Permittees will enter data into an Access database that we provide
and then generate Excel reports of their data for electronic submission via a reporting tool
programmed into the Access database. The Excel report output from the AIMRS Access
Database has been specifically formatted to allow easy, efficient compilation of this information
through the use of a macro. When the permittee submits the Excel report to the permit office,
these reports will be saved by our permit staff into special folders, compiled automatically, and
fed into a cumulative report housed in a centralized Access Database that will be accessible by
decision-makers for informing permitting and management decisions.
This is a temporary solution while the online interface is being built to capture this report
information directly. However, it is set up to work efficiently and effectively enough to get the
data quickly into a format that is immediately available and useful to our staff that needs it most,
while we wait for the online system to be developed.
The online interface is being developed with the capability to accept an auto-upload of Excel
reports with this format so that data collected while the online system is being developed can be
easily back-filled. Users may also choose to continue using the access database and autoupload their excel report through the online interface instead of entering the information directly.
Therefore, if companies have their own online system, they may submit reports to us from this
system; but it is important that the output match the format of the USFWS report output for
purposes of easy compilation in the temporary system, as well as easy transference of this data
to the online system in the future.
4. Describe efforts to identify duplication.
The information that we collect is unique to the applicant and is not available from any other
source. Other than the general identifying information standard for each application, collection
of duplicate information is minimal.
Many permittees renew permits for ongoing activities. We retain information from their original
application so they do not have to duplicate information that is unchanged for the new permit. If
an existing permittee requests a new type of permit (such as a rehabilitator who applies for an
education permit), applicants may reference existing permit files for information relevant to the
new application. This allows the applicant to submit only the additional information necessary to
meet the requirements of a new type of permit.
We developed an electronic permit issuance and tracking system that greatly improves retrieval
of file information, further reducing duplicate information requests for use in renewals,
extensions, and repeat applications. Ongoing development of our permit issuance and tracking
system will ensure that no duplication arises among Service offices.
5. If the collection of information impacts small businesses or other small entities,
describe the methods used to minimize burden.
This collection will not have a significant impact on small entities. Small businesses or small
entities must provide the same information required of individual applicants. We collect only the
minimum information necessary to establish eligibility and to assess the effect of the permit
program.

5

6. Describe the consequence to Federal program or policy activities if the collection
were not conducted or is conducted less frequently, as well as any technical or legal
obstacles to reducing burden.
If we do not collect the information or if we collect the information less frequently, we could
not implement many wildlife protection programs that are mandated by law. Further, we
could not issue applicants a permit since the collected information is either required on the
permit or authorization itself or is needed to make the necessary biological and legal findings
under applicable statutes and treaties. If we were not able to satisfy the information
requirements necessary to issue a permit, the public would not be able to conduct otherwise
prohibited activities, such as possession of migratory birds and eagles.
7. Explain any special circumstances that would cause an information collection to be
conducted in a manner:
*
*
*
*
*
*
*

*

requiring respondents to report information to the agency more often than
quarterly;
requiring respondents to prepare a written response to a collection of information
in fewer than 30 days after receipt of it;
requiring respondents to submit more than an original and two copies of any
document;
requiring respondents to retain records, other than health, medical, government
contract, grant-in-aid, or tax records, for more than three years;
in connection with a statistical survey, that is not designed to produce valid and
reliable results that can be generalized to the universe of study;
requiring the use of a statistical data classification that has not been reviewed
and approved by OMB;
that includes a pledge of confidentiality that is not supported by authority
established in statute or regulation, that is not supported by disclosure and data
security policies that are consistent with the pledge, or which unnecessarily
impedes sharing of data with other agencies for compatible confidential use; or
requiring respondents to submit proprietary trade secrets, or other confidential
information unless the agency can demonstrate that it has instituted procedures
to protect the information's confidentiality to the extent permitted by law.

Permit regulations (50 CFR 21.27(c)(5) and 21.30(d)(6)) require that Special Purpose Game
Bird and Raptor Propagation permit holders file an FWS Form 3-186A (Migratory Bird
Acquisition and Disposition Report) with the Service within 5 days of a transaction (take from
the wild, buy, sell, or transfer). Permit regulations (21.29(e)(2)) require that State-permitted
falconers file an FWS Form 3-186A within 5 days of a transaction (take from the wild, buy, sell,
or transfer). Permit regulations (50 CFR 21.25(c)(5)) require that Waterfowl Sale and Disposal
permit holders file an FWS Form 3-186 with the Service by the end of the month during which a
waterfowl sale is conducted. The MBTA, which was enacted to protect migratory birds from
market hunting, strictly regulates commerce. These are the only four permits that authorize sale
and purchase. Current information regarding commercial activity under the permits is
necessary to enforce the regulations.
In addition, Scientific Collecting permittees (3-200-7; 3-202-1) and Special Purpose Utility
permittees (3-202-81; 3-202-17) who encounter a dead or injured bald eagle or golden eagle, or
threatened or endangered species in the wild are required to report it to the Service’s Office of
Law Enforcement as soon as possible, preferably no later than 48 hours from discovery of the
6

bird, or at the beginning of the next business day. This short timeframe better enables OLE to
investigate the mortality or injury and/or direct the transfer of the carcass while it is still as fresh
as possible to the National Eagle and Wildlife Property Repository for distribution to Native
Americans for Indian religious purposes.
Permit regulations (50 CFR 13.46) require that records of any taking, possession,
transportation, sale, purchase, barter, export or import of wildlife pursuant to a permit be
maintained for 5 years from the expiration date of the permit. The statute of limitations for
enforcement is 5 years.
8. If applicable, provide the date and page number of publication in the Federal Register
of the agency's notice, required by 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on the
information collection prior to submission to OMB. Summarize public comments
received in response to that notice (or in response to a PRA statement) and describe
actions taken by the agency in response to these comments.
Describe efforts to consult with persons outside the agency to obtain their views on
the availability of data, frequency of collection, the clarity of instructions and
recordkeeping, disclosure, or reporting format (if any), and on the data elements to
be recorded, disclosed, or reported.
On November 13, 2013, we published in the Federal Register (78 FR 68086) a notice of our
intent to request that OMB approve this information collection. In that notice, we solicited
comments for 60 days, ending on January 13, 2014.
We received one comment from the American Bird Conservancy (ABC). The commenter
stressed that while “there are ways that the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be
collected can be enhanced and ways that a system can be streamlined to “minimize burden of
the collection of information on respondents…” he emphasized that “the minimum amount of
information to be collected must allow the USFWS to make a valid determination that the
proposed action is permissible under the law. Information regarding impact on wild populations,
proposed use of the specimens and explanations of necessary mitigation/compensation, when
required are thus critical for allowing the USFWS to do its important job of protecting our public
trust resources for the benefit of all.”
We appreciate ABC’s comments because they recognize the importance of collecting sufficient
information from applicants and permittees to ensure the applicant qualifies for the permit, that
issuance of the permit meets issuance criteria, and that report information is sufficient to allow
both enforcement of the permits and, particularly where wild birds are concerned, the report
information collected contributes to our knowledge of the impacts of utilities and other entities
on migratory birds, including eagles.
A significant change we are making is to convert the report form for Special Purpose Utility
permits (3-202-17) from paper to electronic format. These permits allow utilities such as
electric, wind, and solar companies to collect birds found dead on their property. The data will
be housed in the Avian Injury/Mortality Reporting System (AIMRS). Our goal is to make
reporting more convenient for permittees, but electronic submission will be particularly
beneficial for the Service because it will make the data accessible for analysis without staff
having to enter it manually. This will make the data on this important source of mortality readily
available to biologists who are monitoring the impacts of incidental take and working with
industry to identify best practices to reduce those impacts.

We contacted the individuals below who represent companies that hold Special Purpose Utility
permits and submit Special Purpose Utility reports. We solicited comments on draft revisions to
the application form (3-200-81) and electronic report form (3-202-17).

We received four comments on the Special Purpose Utility forms. Some of the comments were
outside the scope of the application and report forms. We have prepared a fact sheet that
addresses some of those comments. One commenter noted that the information requested in
the application is already included in their existing permit or reports, forgetting that the purpose
of the application form review was to ensure that the form will be clear for new applicants.
As mentioned previously, the Service has traditionally worked closely with utilities to monitor
incidental mortalities and help identify ways to reduce them. These mortalities violate the
MBTA. (The Service does not have an incidental take permitting program for migratory birds
but does have one for eagles as of 2009 (50 CFR 22.26; application 3-200-71.)
Special Purpose Utility permits are sufficiently flexible to accommodate situations where the
Service and a company have established protocols for reporting or collecting dead or injured
eagles, which is critical because many birds/carcasses are located in remote locations.
Accuracy of burden estimate

•

One commenter indicated that it would take several days if she were to prepare an
application for the first time. The completion time per response in the Service’s burden
estimate is eight hours.
Response: Response time will vary depending on the company. Much of the
information requested will already be included in documents such as avian protection
plans or other or other migratory bird conservation plans. However, the Service agrees
that the 8-hour estimation may be low and has increased it to 15 hours. This presumes
that 15 hours are dedicated to the task.

Clarity

•

Two commenters stated that the questions in Section A of the application were more
appropriate for generation facilities such as wind facilities rather than transmission
facilities like electric. These questions pertained to the location of the utility, a
description of the utility footprint, equipment and structures, and a question pertaining to
the habitat around the structures.

8

Response: We agree. We split the question about the location of the project or
utility into two sections, one specific to generation facilities and the other specific to
transmission facilities. The question specific to transmission utilities asks only for the
States in which the utility is located and a map generally delineating the company’s
territory. For two questions regarding the utility footprint and surrounding habitat, we
revised the application by adding the following language to the two questions: “For
transmission utilities, this information may be provided in general terms.”
•

One commenter stated that the distinction between required and voluntary fields of the
report form could be clearer.
Response: Required fields have been placed in bold and red font.

•

Three commenters were unclear whether they would be required to submit both
quarterly reports and an annual report.
Response: Permit reporting requirements are specified in permits. A permittee is
required to submit an annual report regardless of whether he or she is also required to
submit immediate eagle incident reports or interim reports. The reason is that the annual
report compels the permittee to provide a final tally of mortality data, including correcting
erroneous records, completing incomplete records, and including overlooked records.
The annual report provides a final statement of the permittee’s activities for the report
year.

•

One commenter requested clarification about the distinction between the Eagle Incident
Report and the Eagle Incident Summary Report and whether the signature requirement
could be applicable to one report?
Response: The confusion over the Eagle Incident Report and the Eagle Incident
Summary Report was resolved by eliminating the Eagle Incident Summary Report as
well as the Migratory Bird Incident Summary Report. These were not actual reports but
rather a certification statement that the permittee would sign, scan, and email with their
data report. However, we have reconsidered the need for this requirement and
eliminated it. We regret that the term Summary Report cause confusion but appreciate
that the question led us to consider the need for the certification statement.

•

Several commenters offered wording and other minor edits or selections for drop-down
lists to improve the forms. For instance to add “unknown hawk”, “unknown owl”, etc., to
the species dropdown. Many of these suggestions were adopted.

Minimize burden

•

Two commenters suggested permitting submission of an Excel spreadsheet from their
existing database would reduce the burden of reporting.
Response: We agree with the commenter, and will allow submission of an excel
spreadsheet from their own database as long as it matches the format of the excel
output from the Access form (has the same headers in the same order), and at a
minimum provides the information identified as “required” (double asterisks, red in the
Access form.)

9

9. Explain any decision to provide any payment or gift to respondents, other than
remuneration of contractors or grantees.
We do not provide payments or gifts to respondents.
10. Describe any assurance of confidentiality provided to respondents and the basis for
the assurance in statute, regulation, or agency policy.
We do not provide any assurance of confidentiality. The information collected is subject to the
requirements of the Privacy Act and the Freedom of Information Act as explained in the
notices portion of all applications.
11. Provide additional justification for any questions of a sensitive nature, such as
sexual behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
FWS Form 3-200-77 (Native American Eagle Take) is the application for a permit for Native
Americans to take bald or golden eagles from the wild for Indian religious purposes. Typically
the eagles are killed. The form includes a question asking the applicant to explain why the take
of live eagle(s) from the wild is necessary. We ask that they describe the aspect of the
religious ceremony or other religious practice that makes the take of a live eagle(s) from the
wild necessary as a central part of the religious ceremony and belief system, and why an eagle
carcass, parts, or feathers from another source, such as the National Eagle Repository, will not
suffice. We only ask for as much information as we need to evaluate in order to weigh the
religious need against our statutory obligation under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
to conserve eagles.
12. Provide estimates of the hour burden of the collection of information.
We estimate that we will receive 61,623 responses totaling 106,661 annual burden hours for
this information collection (see Attachment A). The total dollar value of the annual burden
hours is approximately $3,365,740 (rounded). We used the Bureau of Labor Statistics news
release USDL-13-1835, September 11, 2013, Employer Costs for Employee Compensation—
June 2013, to estimate average hourly wages:
 Individuals - We used the wage and salary costs for all workers from Table 1, which
states an hourly rate of $21.44. To calculate benefits, we multiplied the hourly rate by
1.4, resulting in an hourly cost factor of $30.02 (rounded).
 Private Sector - We used the wage and salary costs for all workers from Table 5, which
states an hourly rate of $20.47. To calculate benefits, we multiplied the hourly rate by
1.4, resulting in an hourly cost factor of $28.66 (rounded).
 State Government - We used the wage and salary costs for all workers from Table 3,
which states an hourly rate of $ 27.16. To calculate benefits, we multiplied the hourly
rate by 1.5, resulting in an hourly cost factor of $40.74.
13. Provide an estimate of the total annual [nonhour] cost burden to respondents or
recordkeepers resulting from the collection of information.
We estimate the nonhour cost burden to respondents for this information collection to be
$1,520,525 (see Attachment A). These costs are primarily for application processing fees,
10

which range from $0 to $36,000. Substantive amendments to certain permit types cost from
$50 for rehabilitation permits to $1,000 for amendments to programmatic eagle take permits.
There are no processing fees for reports. Federal, Tribal, State, and local government
agencies and those acting on their behalf are exempt from processing fees. When there is
more than one applicable fee, such as for an original permit or an amendment, we have used
the higher fee to calculate costs.
14. Provide estimates of annualized costs to the Federal Government.
We estimate the total cost to the Federal Government to administer this information collection
will be $3,047,441 (see Attachment A).
Service biologists (GS-11/13) and permit examiners (GS-9/12), with support of GS-7 staff, will:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Review and determine the adequacy of the information an applicant provides.
Conduct any internal research necessary to verify information in the application or
evaluate the biological impact of the proposed activity.
Assess the biological impact of the proposed activity on the bald or golden eagle.
Evaluate whether the proposed activity meets the issuance criteria.
Prepare or review NEPA documentation.
Prepare either a permit or a denial letter for the applicant.
When necessary to evaluate the impact of the proposed activity, visit the location to
examine site-specific conditions.
Monitor reports.

Permits are processed in our eight Regional Offices, which are located in major cities across
the United States. Therefore, we used Office of Personnel Management Salary Table 2013DCB to determine average hourly wages. We multiplied the hourly rate by 1.5 to account for
benefits in accordance with BLS news release USDL 13-1835.

15. Explain the reasons for any program changes or adjustments in hour or cost burden.
We are estimating 61,623 responses, 106,661 burden hours, and $1,520,525 in nonhour
burden costs. This is a net increase of 4,363 responses, 13,259 burden hours, and $470,600 in
nonhour burden costs from our previous submission.
We are reporting as a program change:
• A decrease of 704 responses, 888 burden hours, and $70,400 nonhour costs
associated with the elimination of falconry and eagle falconry permits. (Burden
reduction initiative)
• A decrease of 200 responses and 300 burden hours associated with the removal of the
IC for FWS Form 3-200-12 for individuals. This is a ROCIS-forced program change. It
is actually an adjustment as a result of our efforts to accurately identify respondent
groups
We are reporting as an adjustment the remaining net increase of 5,267 responses, 14,447
burden hours, and $541,000 in nonhour burden costs. These increases are the result of
adjustments to our estimated number of responses and/or burden hours as well as the inclusion
of the burden on eagle take long-term programmatic permits (OMB Control Number 10180151). We made these adjustments based on our experience in administering this collection
over the past years.
16. For collections of information whose results will be published, outline plans for
tabulation and publication.
There are no plans for publication of the results of these information collections.
17. If seeking approval to not display the expiration date for OMB approval of the
information collection, explain the reasons that display would be inappropriate.
We will display the OMB control number and expiration date.
18. Explain each exception to the certification statement.
There are no exceptions to the certification statement.
