In accordance with the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 522a) and the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501), please be advised that:
1. The gathering of information on the importation and exportation of wildlife (any wild animal, including without
limitation any wild mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish, mollusk, crustacean, arthropod, coelenterate, or other
invertebrate, whether or not bred, hatched, or born in captivity, and including any part, product, egg, or offspring thereof)
is authorized by the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) and Title 50, Parts 14 and 17, of the Code of
Federal Regulations.
2. The disclosure of the requested information is required to provide information about imports or exports, including
products and parts, to facilitate enforcement of the Act and other wildlife laws and regulations including the provisions of
the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
3. Failure to provide all of the requested information is sufficient cause for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to deny you
permission to import or export wildlife.
4. In the event there is indicated a violation of a statute, regulation, rule, order, permit, or license, whether civil, criminal,
or regulatory in nature, the requested information may be transferred to the appropriate Federal, State, local, or foreign
agency charged with investigating or prosecuting such violations.
5. In the event of litigation involving records or the subject matter of the records, the requested information may be
transferred to the U.S. Department of Justice.
6. The requested information may be subject to disclosure under provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will retain information from Form 3-177 for a minimum of 5 years.
7. You are not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
