SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
On June 6, 2016, we published a final
rule (81 FR 36388), Revision of the
Section 4(d) Rule for the African
Elephant (Loxodonta africana) (4(d)
rule). The rule will be effective on July
6, 2016. After that date, permits will be
required to import all African elephant
trophies (i.e., from both Appendix-I and
Appendix-II populations).
When a species is listed as threatened,
section 4(d) of the Endangered Species
Act (ESA) gives discretion to the
Secretary of the Interior to issue
regulations that he or she ‘‘deems
necessary and advisable to provide for
the conservation of such species.’’ In
response to an unprecedented increase
in poaching of elephants across Africa
and the escalation of the illegal trade in
ivory, we reevaluated the provisions of
the existing ESA 4(d) rule for the
African elephant. We revised the 4(d)
rule by adopting measures that are
necessary and advisable for the current
conservation needs of the species, based
on our evaluation of the current threats
to the African elephant and the
comments received from the public. The
poaching crisis is driven by demand for
elephant ivory. The final rule allows us
to more strictly regulate trade in African
elephant ivory and to help ensure that
the U.S. ivory market is not contributing
to the poaching of elephants in Africa.
Currently, import of sport-hunted
African elephant trophies from
Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and

Flora (CITES) Appendix-II populations
does not require an ESA threatened
species import permit. Applications for
permits required under current
regulations (for import of African
elephant sport-hunted trophies from
CITES Appendix-I populations) are
approved under OMB Control Number
1018–0093, which expires May 31,
2017. Under the revised rule, permits
will be required to import all African
elephant sport-hunted trophies from
both Appendix-I and Appendix-II
populations. As a result of the revised
4(d) rule, we expect to receive an
additional 300 applications for permits.
The burden associated with these

additional applications is the basis of
this information collection.
We requested that OMB approve, on
an emergency basis, our request to
collect information associated with
permits to import African elephant
sport-hunted trophies from Appendix-II
populations. We asked for emergency
approval because of the potential
negative effects of delaying publication
of the final 4(d) rule. OMB approved our
request and assigned OMB Control No.
1018–0164, which expires November
30, 2016.
We will ask OMB to grant regular
approval (3 years) for this information
collection. If OMB grants regular
approval, we will include the burden
