Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 172 / Thursday, September 5, 2019 / Notices
comments on this collection of
information for 60 days, ending on
February 25, 2019 (83 FR 66740). We
received one comment in response to
the Federal Register notice:
Comment: On February 11, 2019, we
received a comment from the Executive
Director of the Zoological Association of
America (ZAA). The ZAA strongly
opposes the elimination of
recordkeeping requirements or any
further preference proposed by the
Service for wildlife sanctuaries under
the Captive Wildlife Safety Act. The
ZAA specifically cited their objection to
the ‘‘accredited wildlife sanctuary’’
exemption that they feel largely hinges
on IRS 501(c)(3) status and not wildlife
expertise. ZAA stated that any reputable
wildlife holding facility should have
extensive records, including acquisition
and disposition records, as well as
husbandry and medical records. These
records establish the basis of knowledge
and care of every animal in the care of
a facility, and no facility, accredited or
not, should be exempt from having such
records.
Agency Response: No action required.
The Service is not seeking to eliminate
the records keeping requirement. The
Federal Register notice announced our
intention to renew the information
collection requirements established
under the CWSA for accredited wildlife
sanctuaries. Additionally, changes to, or
removal of, the eligibility requirements
by accredited wildlife sanctuaries under
the CWSA would require a substantive
change to the Act by Congress. Such
changes would not be part of this
information collection.
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Service; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Service enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Service minimize the burden
of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be
publicly available at any time. While

Abstract: The Captive Wildlife Safety
Act (CWSA; Pub. L. 108–191; 16 U.S.C.
3371 note and 16 U.S.C. 3372 note)
amends the Lacey Act (16 U.S.C. 3371
et seq.; 18 U.S.C. 42–43) by making it
illegal to import, export, buy, sell,
transport, receive, or acquire, in
interstate or foreign commerce, live
lions, tigers, leopards, snow leopards,
clouded leopards, cheetahs, jaguars, or
cougars, or any hybrid combination of
any of these species, unless certain
exceptions are met. The CWSA was
signed into law in 2003 and
enforcement began on September 17,
2007. There are several exemptions to
the prohibitions of the CWSA, including
accredited wildlife sanctuaries. There is
no requirement for wildlife sanctuaries
to submit applications to qualify for the
accredited wildlife sanctuary
exemption. Wildlife sanctuaries
themselves will determine if they
qualify. As a matter of routine, we do
not inspect or follow-up on wildlife
sanctuaries unless we have cause for
concern. To qualify, they must meet all
of the following criteria:
• Obtain approval by the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) as a corporation
that is exempt from taxation under
section 501(a) of the IRS Code of 1986
(Pub. L. 99–514), which is described in
sections 501(c)(3) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of
that code.
• Do not engage in commercial trade
in the prohibited wildlife species,
including offspring, parts, and products.
• Do not propagate the prohibited
wildlife species.
• Have no direct contact between the
public and the prohibited wildlife
species.
The basis for this information
collection is the recordkeeping
requirement that we place on accredited
wildlife sanctuaries. We require
accredited wildlife sanctuaries to
maintain complete and accurate records
of any possession, transportation,
acquisition, disposition, importation, or
exportation of the prohibited wildlife
species as defined in the CWSA (see
title 50 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at part 14, subpart K).
Records must be up to date and include:
(1) Names and addresses of persons to
or from whom any prohibited wildlife
species has been acquired, imported,
exported, purchased, sold, or otherwise
transferred; and (2) dates of these
transactions. Accredited wildlife
sanctuaries must:
• Maintain these records for 5 years.
