Federal Fish and Wildlife Permit Applications and

Reports—Management Authority

50 CFR 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23

OMB Control Number 1018-0093

Terms of Clearance: Information collection requirements associated with the Federal fish and wildlife permit applications and reports are currently approved under three different OMB control numbers: 1018-0093; 1018-0150, “Renewal of CITES Registration of Commercial Breeding Operations for Appendix I Wildlife and Other CITES Requirements, 50 CFR 17 and 23”; and 1018-0164, “Import of Sport-Hunted African Elephant Trophies, 50 CFR 17”. In this revision of 1018-0093, we are including all of the information collection requirements associated with all three OMB Control Numbers. If OMB approves this revision, we will discontinue OMB Control Numbers 1018-0150 and 1018-0164.

1. Explain the circumstances that make the collection of information necessary. Identify any legal or administrative requirements that necessitate the collection.

The following information is provided as part of a request to renew the Office of Management and Budget’s approval for information collection pursuant to regulations that implement General Permit Procedures. These information collection requirements are contained in applications for permits that are specifically provided for in 50 CFR 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, and 23.

All of the Laws, Treaties and Regulations administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service which authorize activities for which a permit is required, authorize such permits in 50 CFR 13 (General Permit Requirements). The requirements in 50 CFR Part 13 are in addition to any other permit regulations that may apply to a specific circumstance and are outlined in other sections of regulation.

The Wild Bird Conservation Act (WBCA) and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) uses a system of permits and certificates to help ensure that international trade is legal and does not threaten the survival of wildlife or plant species in the wild. Permits under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, (ESA) and the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) ensure that activities are consistent with the intent and purposes of the ESA and MMPA. Permitted activities under the Bald and Golden Eagle Act must be compatible with the preservation of the eagle, and Lacey Act (Injurious wildlife) permits are issued when the Service finds the activity will not be harmful to either the health or welfare of humans. Prior to the import or export of MMPA, Eagle, Injurious wildlife, WBCA, ESA, and/or CITES-listed species, the Management Authority and Scientific Authority must make appropriate determinations and issue the appropriate documents. Section 8A of the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) designates the Secretary of the Interior as the U.S. Management Authority and U.S. Scientific Authority for CITES. The Secretary delegated these authorities to the Fish and Wildlife Service (we, Service).

Before a country can issue an export permit for CITES Appendix I or II specimens, the CITES Scientific Authority of the exporting country must determine that the export will not be detrimental to the species, and the Management Authority must be satisfied that the specimens were acquired legally. For the export of Appendix III specimens, the Management Authority must be satisfied that the specimens were acquired legally (CITES does not require findings from the Scientific Authority). Prior to the importation of Appendix I specimens, both the Scientific Authority and the Management Authority of the importing country must make required findings. The Scientific Authority must also monitor trade of all species to ensure that the level of trade is sustainable.

Article VIII(3) of the CITES treaty states that participating parties should make efforts to ensure that CITES specimens are traded with a minimum of delay. Section XII of Resolution Conf.

12.3 (Rev. CoP13) recommends use of simplified procedures for issuing CITES documents to expedite trade that will have no impact, or a negligible impact, on conservation of the species involved.

2. Indicate how, by whom, and for what purpose the information is to be used. Except for a new collection, indicate the actual use the agency has made of the information received from the current collection. Be specific. If this collection is a form or a questionnaire, every question needs to be justified.

All Service permit applications are in the 3-200 series of forms, each tailored to a specific activity based on the 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, tax identification number, and email address.

Standardization of general information common to the application forms makes the filing of applications easier for the public, as well as expediting 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 needed; submission of reports is generally on an annual basis. We examined applications in this collection, focusing on questions frequently misinterpreted or not addressed by applicants. We have made clarifications to many of our applications to make it easier for the applicant to know what information we need and to accommodate future electronic permitting. Use of these forms:

• Reduces burden on applicants.

• Improves customer service.

• Allows us to process applications and finalize reviews quickly.

The following eight (8) ICs approved ICs approved under 1018-0150 and 1018-0164 are being merged into this revision. Upon approval of this revision by OMB, we will discontinue both 1018-0150 and 1018-0164.

1. Renewal of Registration for Commercial Breeding Operations (§23.46) (1018-0093)

Form 3-200-65, “Federal Fish and Wildlife Permit Application Form: Registration of Appendix I Commercial Breeding Operations (CITES),” is currently approved under OMB No. 1018-0093. This form is used to collect information from commercial breeders of CITES Appendix I species who have requested registration of their facilities to allow them to conduct trade that would otherwise be prohibited. Form 3-200-65 allows us to collect specific information about a commercial breeding operation to register the facility with the CITES Secretariat. This information includes the name and location of the facility, the owner/operator, the species bred, the length of time the facility has been operating and its expertise at breeding the species for which registration is requested. The form also allows collection of information on the size of the breeding population, the source of the founding stock, physical description of the facility, the mortality rate experienced by the facility, and how the facility contributes to the long-term conservation of the affected species.

The final rule, published May 27, 2014 (79 FR 30400), requires these registrations be renewed every 5 years. Form 3-200-65 is used to renew an existing registration, as well as for the initial request for registration. The renewals require only the identification of changes to the breeding operation since the original application or the last renewal request (update information previously provided and describe any major changes to their operations). Current regulations (50 CFR 23.46) include a requirement for annual reporting by registered operations, but we have never implemented this reporting requirement. The final rule amended 50 CFR 23.46 to eliminate the annual reporting requirement for registered operations and instead require the renewal of the registration every 5 years.

(2) Reporting take of grizzly bears (§17.40(b)(1)(i)(B)) (1018-0093)

Grizzly bears may be taken in self-defense or in defense of others, but such taking must be reported by the individual who has taken the bear or his designee within 5 days of occurrence to the appropriate Service Law Enforcement Office and to appropriate State and tribal authorities.

(3) Reporting take of mountain lions (§17.40(h)(5)) (1018-0093)

Free-living mountain lions in Florida may be taken for human safety reasons. Such take must be reported in writing within 5 days to the Service’s Office of Law Enforcement.

(4) Marking of vicuna products (§23.75(f)), beluga sturgeon caviar (§23.71), and African elephant sport-hunted trophies (§23.74(e)(2)) (1018-0093)

CITES requires that specimens of these species in international trade are marked or labeled in a specific manner. Export permits, issued by the range countries for these species, must include the required marking/labeling information in order for the documents to be considered valid and for the United States to allow the import. Foreign export permits are reviewed by U.S. Fish and Wildlife inspectors at the time of import.

(5) Beluga sturgeon exemption (§17.44(y)(5)) (1018-0093)

Our regulations allow for aquaculture facilities in countries where beluga sturgeon do not naturally occur to request an exemption from ESA permitting requirements for trade in beluga sturgeon caviar if they meet certain conditions. The facility must provide information demonstrating that it meets these conditions (i.e.; they are using best management practices, they do not rely on wild beluga sturgeon for brood stock, and they have entered into a formal agreement with a beluga sturgeon range State to enhance the survival of wild beluga sturgeon). Facilities granted such an exemption must file biennial reports with the Service documenting continued compliance with these conditions.

(6) Exempt wildlife hybrids (§23.43(f)(2)) (1018-0093)

Our regulations allow the international trade of certain wildlife hybrids without CITES documents, if an individual can provide documentation at the port of entry/exit that his or her animal meets the criteria for the exemption. This provision has been in place since 2007. With this final rule we have provided examples of the type of documentation an individual could use to demonstrate that his/her animal qualifies for the exemption. The information provided must clearly identify the specimen and demonstrate its recent lineage. Such information may include, but is not limited to, the following:

(1) Records that identify the name and address of the breeder and identify the specimen by birth or hatch date and by sex, band number, microchip number, or other mark.

(2) A certified pedigree issued by an internationally recognized association that contains scientific names of the animals in the specimen’s recent lineage and clearly illustrates its genetic history. If the pedigree contains codes, a key or guide that explains the meaning of the codes must be provided.

(7) Exception to use of CITES specimens after import (§23.55) (1018-0093)

Our regulations provide an exception to the restrictions on use after import into the United States of certain CITES specimens. To take advantage of this exception, documentation (written records or other documentary evidence) must be provided that clearly demonstrates the specimen was imported prior to the CITES listing, with no restrictions on its use after import. If documentation does not clearly demonstrate that this exception applies, the specimen may be used only for noncommercial purposes.

(8) Application for Import of Sport-Hunted Trophies of African Elephants from Appendix-II Countries (1018-0164)

We previously requested and obtained approval for FWS Form 3-200-19 as the application to import sport-hunted African elephant trophies (as well as Southern African Leopard and Namibian Southern White Rhinoceros) from Appendix II countries under OMB Control No. 1018-0164. With the consolidation of this IC from 1018-0164 into this revision of 1018-0093, all elephants (both Appendix I and II) will now be captured using Form 3-200-20. The number of respondents in the spreadsheet has been amended to represent this shift (e.g., elephant applications that was previously included for Form 3-200-19, are now incorporated in the updated burden estimate for Form 3-200-20). We use the information to determine whether an applicant qualifies for an ESA permit to import an African elephant sport-hunted trophy and, if so, to issue the permit. The information that we collect is the minimum necessary for us to determine if the applicant meets issuance requirements for the particular activity.

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 are available in a fillable format on our forms and permits websites, by mail, or by e-mail. Applicants may complete the application online, but currently must send the application form with an original signature and the processing fee to the Service by mail.

At this time, we do not have a system for electronic submission of permit application forms or report forms; however, we are actively developing the system and are pilot testing several Service application forms that have current OMB approval. Applicants may send us any supporting documentation or information missing from the application, other than original signature, via electronic mail.

3. Describe efforts to identify duplication. Show specifically why any similar information already available cannot be used or modified for use for the purposes described in Item 2 above.

The information that we collect is unique to the applicant and is not available from any other source. By tailoring application forms to particular activities, we eliminate duplication, provide better customer service, and improve our ability to process applications.

3. If the collection of information impacts small businesses or other small entities, describe any methods used to minimize burden.

The use of these application forms minimizes the burden on the public. Generally, a permit applicant is responsible for providing us with sufficient information to make the required findings prior to issuing a permit. We can issue required findings either on an application- by-application basis or a programmatic basis.

6. Describe the consequence to Federal program or policy activities if the collection is 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, we would not be able to issue required permits for import, export, take, and interstate/foreign commerce. While we could issue documents without using the proposed application forms, the burden would be greater on applicants because we would have to collect the information on a permit-by-permit basis.

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.

There are no special circumstances that require us to collect this information in a manner inconsistent with OMB guidelines.

8. If applicable, provide a copy and identify 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 and in response to the PRA statement associated with the collection over the past three years, and describe actions taken by the agency in response to these comments. Specifically address comments received on cost and hour burden.

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.

Consultation with representatives of those from whom information is to be obtained or those who must compile records should occur at least once every three years — even if the collection of information activity is the same as in prior periods. There may be circumstances that may preclude consultation in a specific situation. These circumstances should be explained.

On February 24, 2017, we published in the Federal Register (82 FR 11596) a notice of our intent to request that OMB approve this information collection. In that notice, we solicited comments for sixty (60) days, ending on April 25, 2017. We received five separate comments.

Comment 1: Email Comment Dated 04/21/2017 from Conservation Force: We received a comment from Conservation Force on April 21, that provided a number of suggestions regarding trophy applications (3-200-19, 3-200-20, 3-200-21, and 3-200-22) and applications under the U.S. Endangered Species Act for captive-breeding and take (3-200-37 and 3-200-41). The commenter was concerned the Service would reject applications that were expired or soon to expire. They also discuss various items that they believe should be updated or omitted. The commenter has raised questions on why the Service was requesting applicants’ social security numbers. Furthermore, they were concerned that the purposes for why some applicants, particularly hunting ranches, were requesting authorization under the Endangered Species Act were not clearly outlined on the application and confusing to applicants. They end with a statement of the need for an electronic permitting system.

FWS Response to Comment 1: The Service has addressed many of the issues raised by the commenter. Over one year ago, the Service discontinued capturing applicant’s social security numbers in our permitting database, and thus has removed the question requesting this information from the application forms. The Service agrees with the commenter regarding eliminating the need to a description of the trophy being imported and has removed that question from forms 3-200-19, 3-200-20, 3-200-21, and 3-200-22. The Service recognizes the commenter’s concern that some applicants may be confused by some questions and has simplified the application to request information in a clear manner to meet the needs for a variety of permitting situations. In an effort to provide better outreach to applicants, the Service is committed to developing web-based material to provide greater insight to the permitting process than may be available on the face of any one application form. Finally, the Service appreciates the commenter’s suggestions for improving the application process and is working on an e-permits issuing system.

Comment 2: Email Comment Dated 04/25/2017 from The Humane Society of the United States, Humane Society International, and The Humane Society Legislative Fund (combined response): The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), Humane Society International (HIS), and The Humane Society Legislative Fund expressed that the information collected by the Service is all necessary for the Service to implement its regulations. They support the current information collection and expressed the need to continue to collect the information to ensure the proper implementation of CITES and FWS regulations. They also expressed that the current information collection provides a benefit to the public since much of the collected information is available through the Freedom of Information Act, providing the public an opportunity to better monitor activities that involved species that are protected under CITES, the ESA, and other laws. The commenters did not provide any specific recommendations to improve the information collection, however.

FWS Response to Comment 2: The Service appreciates the commenters’ statement, but given that the comments did not address specific issues that would improve the application forms themselves or the burden placed on applicants, no action was taken. Therefore, we have no additional response to the comments.

Comment 3: Email Comment Dated 04/21/2017 from the League of American Orchestras: The commenter represents over 800 nonprofit organizations within the United States that support or operate symphonies, community orchestras, summer musical festivals, and student/youth ensembles. Many of the commenter’s members participate in international performances and therefore must obtain permits to move instruments that contain listed species. Most of the comments submitted deal more with the underlying regulations and U.S. obligations under CITES than with the permit applications themselves. The commenter requested that the Service work to eliminate or reduce the permitting requirements established under CITES. The commenter did state that the estimated completion time burden of 0.5 hour did not accurately reflect the time required for some orchestras to complete application form 3-200-88. The commenter stated that its members are, for the most part, new to the permitting process and unfamiliar with the documentation requirements needed to complete the application form. As with the other commenters, this commenter raised the need for an electronic permitting system to streamline submission of applications.

FWS Response to Comment 3: The Service has been actively working with the commenter and its members for several years to help educate them on the permitting requirements under CITES and the application process. While most of the comments provided by this commenter are outside the information collection process, the Service will take them into advisement as we move forward in our efforts to address outstanding issues within the CITES community. The Service recognizes and, on many points made by the commenter, supports the need for changes within the CITES context. In regards to the estimated completion time burden, the Service recognizes that many of the applicants that fill out form 3-200-88 are large orchestras that may have multiple instruments that need to be exported. While the Service believes that each musician involved in the orchestra or, if the instruments are owned by the orchestra itself, should have all of the relevant information about their instruments readily available, we concur that may take longer to compile all of the information than our initial burden estimate for the application form. Therefore, we are increasing our estimated time burden to 1.5 hours. Lastly, as stated in the Service’s response to Comment 1, the Service supports the concept of creating an electronic permitting system and is actively working on that endeavor at this time. This will streamline the application process.

Comment 4: Email Comment Dated 04/21/2017 from the National Association of Music Merchants: The commenter represents over 900 members in the United States and 100 other countries, many of which are involved in the commercial trade of products recently regulated by CITES. Due to the recent listing of the affected timber species, many members are unfamiliar with the Service’s permitting process. The commenter requested that the Service provide greater clarity of the need for permits due to the recent CITES listing and the permitting process.

The commenter requested more detailed instructions as to the document requirements to conduct legal international business with products manufactured with listed wood species and greater recognition on the part of the Service on how the permitting process affects the commenter’s members. Finally, the commenter requested that an electronic permitting system be developed to streamline the permitting process.

FWS Response to Comment 4: The Service has been actively working with the commenter and its members since the timber species were listed on CITES and the impact that the permitting process would have on international trade carried out by the commenter’s members. The Service had modified the proposed applications to provide greater clarity and to make the applications more user-friendly. Several of the commenter’s statements go outside this specific information collection process, but will be take the comments into consideration in other actions taken by the Service.

Comment 5: Email Comment Dated 04/21/2017 from Taylor Guitars: Taylor Guitars addressed several factors that they stated affect their business process in order to export finished guitars. Taylor raised concerns about the permit application processing by the Service once an application is submitted to the Service. They were specifically concerned that how the Service reviews submitted applications and the strictures posed by the issued permits themselves create a burden for Taylor to carry out business as they did before a recent listing of a number of timber species in January 2017 under CITES. Taylor also raised issues that when the Service considers the time and cost burdens that applicants/permittees face when carrying out export business, particularly in regards to the cost of applying for a permit and the cost of clearance at the port of export. Taylor also recommended several ways to reduce the application burden. As with other commenters, Taylor suggested that the Service implement an electronic application process. Taylor also recommended that the Service consider establish a permitting process for applicants that they would consider to be “low risk exporters.” This process would combine both the permit application process and the clearance process at the port.

FWS Response to Comment 5: Most of the comments provided by Taylor addressed the application process and the clearance process, not the application forms themselves or how those forms could be revised to improve the information collection. One issue brought up by Taylor is the use of the master file process for shipments coming from Mexico and need to be re-exported within a matter days after the receipt of the shipment from Mexico. Since Taylor submitted their comments, the Service has been able to work with Taylor, as well as other guitar manufacturers/exporters, to develop a system that is in compliance with current CITES regulations and still facilitate quicker turn-around time between importing and exporting finished guitars. Taylor also raised concerns about inconsistency in the clearance process at the port of entry or exit. The Service continues to work with US Department of Agriculture, the agency responsible for the clearance process for plant material, to ensure consistent implementation of CITES for plant species. Other suggesting made by Taylor would require specific rulemakings to address the Service’s current regulatory structure and the implementation of CITES and the clearance process (e.g., 50 CFR 14.11-14.20, 14.51-14.55, and 14.61-14.64; 50 CFR 23.20, 23.26, 23.27, 23.36-23.37, and 23.60). The Service will take these comments into consideration as we consider revisions to our current regulations. The Service is, as stated previously, currently developing an electronic application process, which would allow applicants to supply permit applications electronically and pay the application fee online. This process, once in place, should allow for a smoother application process in regards to submissions and subsequent communication with the Service regarding the application.

In addition to the Federal Register Notice, we consulted with the nine organizations listed in Table 8.1 who are familiar with this collection of information in order to validate our time burden estimate and asked for comments on the questions below:

“Whether or not the collection of information is necessary, including whether or not the information will have practical utility; whether there are any questions they felt were unnecessary”

“The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection of information”

“Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected”

“Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents”

Table 8.1

Zoological Registrars Association Woodland Park Zoo Seattle, WA	Avicultural Society of America San Dimas, CA
The American Public Gardens Association Kennett Square, PA	Amphibian Ark c/o Conservation Breeding Specialist Group Apple Valley, MN
North American Falconers Association Fort Worth, TX	United States Association of Reptile Keepers (USARK) Grandy, NC
The American Ornithologists’ Union Waco, TX	Marine and Environmental Research Institute Blue Hill, ME
American Association of Zoo Keepers Tucson, AZ

Despite following up with each of the organizations in Table 8.1 multiple times via email and phone call, no responses were received from 8 of those contacted. We did receive an e-mail from the American Ornithologists Union that asked general questions, but did not provide any comments or thoughts to the questions above posed to them.

9. Explain any decision to provide any payment or gift to respondents, other than remuneration of contractors or grantees.

We do not provide gifts or payment to respondents.

10. Describe any assurance of confidentiality provided to respondents and the basis for the assurance in statute, regulation, or agency policy.

The information that we collect from applicants is part of an existing Privacy Act System of Records (Permits System–Interior, FWS–21, 68 FR 52610) and is subject to the requirements of both the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Freedom of Information Act. For organizations, businesses, or individuals operating as a business (i.e., permittees not covered by the Privacy Act), we request that applicants identify any information that they wish us to consider privileged and confidential business information. We will determine if the information meets the FOIA criteria that will allow us to withhold it from the public. The non-confidential information may be made available to the public under FOIA [43 CFR 2.13(c)(4), 43 CFR 2.15(d)(1)(i)].

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. This justification should include the reasons why the agency considers the questions necessary, the specific uses to be made of the information, the explanation to be given to persons from whom the information is requested, and any steps to be taken to obtain their consent.

We do not ask questions of a sensitive nature.

12. Provide estimates of the hour burden of the collection of information. The statement should:

* Indicate the number of respondents, frequency of response, annual hour burden, and an explanation of how the burden was estimated. Unless directed to do so, agencies should not conduct special surveys to obtain information on which to base hour burden estimates. Consultation with a sample (fewer than 10) of potential respondents is desirable. If the hour burden on respondents is expected to vary widely because of differences in activity, size, or complexity, show the range of estimated hour burden, and explain the reasons for the variance. Generally, estimates should not include burden hours for customary and usual business practices.

* If this request for approval covers more than one form, provide separate hour burden estimates for each form and aggregate the hour burdens.

* Provide estimates of annualized cost to respondents for the hour burdens for collections of information, identifying and using appropriate wage rate categories. The cost of contracting out or paying outside parties for information collection activities should not be included here.

We estimate that we will receive 7,902 responses totaling 5,620 annual burden hours for this information collection (see Attachment A). We estimate the total dollar value of the annual burden hours is approximately $199,881 (rounded) (see Attachment A). The completion times vary substantially (from 15 minutes to 43½ hours) depending on the activity. See Attachment A for a breakdown of burden hours for each information collection.

We used the of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) News Release USDL-17-0321, March 17, 2017, Employer Costs for Employee Compensation—December 2016, to calculate the total annual burden.

• Individuals. Table 1 lists the hourly rate for all workers $34.90, including benefits.

• Private Sector. Table 5 lists the hourly rate for all workers as $32.76, including benefits.

• Government. Table 3 lists the hourly rate for all workers as $47.85, including benefits.

13. Provide an estimate of the total annual non-hour cost burden to respondents or recordkeepers resulting from the collection of information. (Do not include the cost of any hour burden already reflected in item 12.)

* The cost estimate should be split into two components: (a) a total capital and start-up cost component (annualized over its expected useful life) and (b) a total operation and maintenance and purchase of services component. The estimates should take into account costs associated with generating, maintaining, and disclosing or providing the information (including filing fees paid for form processing). Include descriptions of methods used to estimate major cost factors including system and technology acquisition, expected useful life of capital equipment, the discount rate(s), and the time period over which costs will be incurred. Capital and start-up costs include, among other items, preparations for collecting information such as purchasing computers and software; monitoring, sampling, drilling and testing equipment; and record storage facilities.

* If cost estimates are expected to vary widely, agencies should present ranges of cost burdens and explain the reasons for the variance. The cost of purchasing or contracting out information collection services should be a part of this cost burden estimate. In developing cost burden estimates, agencies may consult with a sample of respondents (fewer than 10), utilize the 60-day pre-OMB submission public comment process and use existing economic or regulatory impact analysis associated with the rulemaking containing the information collection, as appropriate.

* Generally, estimates should not include purchases of equipment or services, or portions thereof, made: (1) prior to October 1, 1995, (2) to achieve regulatory compliance with requirements not associated with the information collection, (3) for reasons other than to provide information or keep records for the government, or (4) as part of customary and usual business or private practices.

We estimate the non-hour cost burden to respondents for this information collection to be $522,003 (see Attachment A). These costs are for application processing fees, which range from $0 to $250. There is no fee for reports. Federal, tribal, State, and local government agencies and those acting on their behalf are exempt from processing fees. Where there is more than one applicable fee, we have used an average of the fees.

14. Provide estimates of annualized cost to the Federal government. Also, provide a description of the method used to estimate cost, which should include quantification of hours, operational expenses (such as equipment, overhead, printing, and support staff), and any other expense that would not have been incurred without this collection of information.

We estimate the total cost to the Federal Government to administer this information collection will be $1,193,911 (rounded) (see Attachment A). The table below shows Federal staff and grade levels performing various tasks associated with this information collection. Service staff will:

1. Review and determine the adequacy of the information an applicant provides.

2. Conduct any internal research necessary to verify information in the application or evaluate the biological impact of the proposed activity.

3. Evaluate whether the proposed activity meets the issuance criteria.

4. Prepare either a permit or a denial letter for the applicant.

5. Monitor reports.

We used Office of Personnel Management Salary Table 2017-DCB to determine average hourly wages. We multiplied the hourly rate by 1.59 to account for benefits in accordance with BLS News Release USDL-17-0321, March 17, 2017, Employer Costs for Employee Compensation—December 2016.

15. Explain the reasons for any program changes or adjustments in hour or cost burden.

We are reporting the following burden reduction based on adjustments to agency estimates since the previous submission (see Attachment B for itemization by IC):

• (6,914) Total Annual Responses

• (4,882) Annual Burden Hours

• $(553,698) Nonhour Burden Costs

We are reporting the following burden increases based on changes due to “agency discretion” as explained in Table 15.1 below (see also Attachment B):

• 1,456 Total Annual Responses

• 696 Annual Burden Hours

• $56,950 Nonhour Burden Costs

Table 15.1

Changes Due to “Agency Discretion”
IC	Category	Reported Change	Explanation
Report - Import of Sport-Hunted Trophies of Argali	Individuals/ Households	(135) Annual Responses (34) Annual Burden Hours	In the previously approved application, we informed applicants that they would need to submit a report within 30 days of importing their trophy to provide information about the hunt that was not available at the time the application was submitted (e.g., number of argali seen during the hunt, hunter effort to obtain a trophy). In evaluating the merits of the report, the Service determined several years ago that the quality of the data submitted in the reports was typically limited and antidotal in nature. As such, did not provide sufficient data for a robust analysis. We therefore discontinued the request for such reports and have removed the statement in the application form that a report would be required.
Application - Pre-Convention, Pre-Act, or Antique Musical Instruments Certificate (CITES, MMPA and/or ESA) (Form 3-200-88)	Individuals/ Households	$2,025 Nonhour Burden Cost	We discovered a previous error regarding the permit fee associated with Form 3-200-88 which wasn’t previously reported. This revision corrects the error to accurately report the $75 permit fee for both individuals/ households and private sector respondents.
	Private Sector	$75 Nonhour Burden Cost
Application - Renewal of CITES Registration of Commercial Breeding Operations (FWS Form 3-200-65)	Private Sector	1 Annual Response 20 Annual Burden Hours 50 Nonhour Burden Cost	ICs from 1018-0150, “Renewal of CITES Registration of Commercial Breeding Operations for Appendix I Wildlife, 50 CFR 23” being merged into this revision.

	Government	13 Annual Responses 3 Annual Burden Hours

	Government	8 Annual Responses 2 Annual Burden Hours
Marking/Labeling of Vicuna Products, Beluga Sturgeon Caviar, and African Elephant Sport Hunted Trophies	Government	601 Annual Responses 301 Annual Burden Hours
Beluga Sturgeon Exemption	Private Sector	1 Annual Response 16 Annual Burden Hours
Wildlife Hybrid Exemption	Individuals/ Households	150 Annual Responses 75 Annual Burden Hours
Exception to Use of CITES Specimens after Import	Individuals/ Households	250 Annual Responses 125 Annual Burden Hours
Application for Import of Sport-Hunted Trophies of African Elephants from Appendix-II Countries (Form 3-200-19)	Individuals/ Households	548 Annual Responses 183 Annual Burden Hours 54,800 Nonhour Burden Cost	IC from 1018-0164, “Import of Sport-Hunted African Elephant Trophies, 50 CFR 17” being merged into this revision.

We are also reporting a decrease to the annual cost to the Federal government of $644,824 ($1,838,735 reported in 2014 compared to $1,193,911 with this revision). This reduction in cost to the government is the result of a calculation error in the previous submissions, as well as a reduction in submissions received and processed since the last renewal.

Finally, we removed the reference to 50 CFR Parts 12 and 14 from the title of OMB Control No. 1018-0093 because this collection does not have any information collection under them. The FWS Law Enforcement Program oversees both parts and enforces the permit requirements under them (OMB Control No. 1018-0012, Exp. 12/31/2019). We also removed CFR Part 21 from the title and replaced it with CFR Part 22. Part 21 is Migratory Birds and 22 is Bald and Golden Eagle. We issue permits under Part 22 (Forms 69 and 70). We don't make any permitting decisions under Part 21. Therefore, we should have Part 22 in the title rather than Part 21.

16. For collections of information whose results will be published, outline plans for tabulation and publication. Address any complex analytical techniques that will be used. Provide the time schedule for the entire project, including beginning and ending dates of the collection of information, completion of report, publication dates, and other actions.

There are no plans to publish 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 topics of the certification statement identified in "Certification for Paperwork Reduction Act Submissions."

There are no exceptions to the certification statement.
