Title: Carriage of Bulk Solids
Requiring Special Handling—46 CFR
part 148.
OMB Control Number: 1625–0025.
Summary: As specified in 46 CFR part
148, the petition for a Special Permit
allows the Coast Guard to determine the
manner of safe carriage for unlisted
materials. The information required by
Dangerous Cargo Manifests and
Shipping Papers permit vessel crews
and emergency personnel to properly
and safely respond to accidents
involving hazardous substances. See 46
CFR 148 Subpart B, 148.60 and 148.70.
Need: The Coast Guard administers
and enforces statutes and rules for the

Respondents: Owners and operators
of vessels that carry certain bulk solids.
Frequency: On occasion.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated
burden has decreased from 955 hours to
850 hours a year due to a decrease in the
estimated annual number of responses
for Special Permits.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: December 18, 2016.

Abstract: On March 16, 1934,
President Roosevelt signed the
Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (16
U.S.C. 718a et seq.), requiring all
migratory waterfowl hunters 16 years of
age or older to buy a Federal migratory
bird hunting and conservation stamp
(Federal Duck Stamp) annually. The
stamps are a vital tool for wetland
conservation. Ninety-eight cents out of
every dollar generated by the sale of
Federal Duck Stamps goes directly to
purchase or lease wetland habitat for
protection in the National Wildlife
Refuge System. The Federal Duck Stamp
is one of the most successful
conservation programs ever initiated
and is a highly effective way to conserve
America’s natural resources. Besides
serving as a hunting license and a
conservation tool, a current year’s
Federal Duck Stamp also serves as an
entrance pass for national wildlife
refuges where admission is charged.
Duck Stamps and products that bear
stamp images are also popular collector
items.
The Electronic Duck Stamp Act of
2005 (Pub. L. 109–266) required the
Secretary of the Interior to conduct a 3year pilot program, under which States
could issue electronic Federal Duck
Stamps. This pilot program has now
been made permanent with the passage
of the Permanent Electronic Duck Stamp
Act of 2013. The electronic stamp is
valid for 45 days from the date of
purchase and can be used immediately
while customers wait to receive the
actual stamp in the mail. After 45 days,
customers must carry the actual Federal
Duck Stamp while hunting or to gain
free access to national wildlife refuges.

Jkt 241001

Eight States participated in the pilot. At
the end of the pilot, we provided a
report to Congress outlining the
successes of the program. The program
improved public participation by
increasing the ability of the public to
obtain required Federal Duck Stamps.
Under our authorities in 16 U.S.C. 718
et seq. we have continued the Electronic
Duck Stamp Program in the eight States
that participated in the pilot. In
addition, we have expanded the
program to include a total of 22 States.
Several other States have indicated
interest, and we plan to expand the
program by inviting all State fish and
wildlife agencies to participate. Anyone,
regardless of State residence, may
purchase an electronic Duck Stamp
through any State that participates in
the program. Interested States must
submit an application (FWS Form 3–
2341). We will use the information
provided in the application to
determine a State’s eligibility to
participate in the program. Information
includes, but is not limited to:
• Information verifying the current
systems the State uses to sell hunting,
fishing, and other associated licenses
and products.
• Applicable State laws, regulations,
or policies that authorize the use of
electronic systems to issue licenses.
• Example and explanation of the
codes the State proposes to use to create
and endorse the unique identifier for the
individual to whom each stamp is
issued.
• Mockup copy of the printed version
of the State’s proposed electronic stamp,
including a description of the format

and identifying features of the licensee
to be specified on the stamp.
• Description of any fee the State will
charge for issuance of an electronic
stamp.
• Description of the process the State
will use to account for and transfer the
amounts collected by the State that are
required to be transferred under the
program.
• Manner by which the State will
transmit electronic stamp customer
data.
Each State approved to participate in
the program must provide the following
information on a weekly basis:
• First name, last name, and complete
mailing address of each individual that
purchases an electronic stamp from the
State.
• Face value amount of each
electronic stamp sold by the State.
• Amount of the Federal portion of
any fee required by the agreement for
each stamp sold.
Comments: On September 20, 2016,
we published in the Federal Register
(81 FR 64498) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB renew approval for
this information collection. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on November 21, 2016. We
did not receive any comments.
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;
