Section 9(d) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), as amended, makes it unlawful to import or export wildlife or wildlife products for commercial purposes without first obtaining an import/export license (50 CFR Part 14.91). Persons required to obtain an import/export license must keep records that fully and correctly disclose each importation or exportation of fish, wildlife, or plants and the subsequent disposition made by them with respect to such fish, wildlife, or plants for a period of 5 years (50 CFR Part 13.46 and 14.93). Any live wildlife possessed under permit issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (we, Service) must be maintained under humane and healthful conditions (50 CFR Part 13.41).
With this submission, we are seeking OMB approval to automate FWS Forms 3-200-2 and 3-200-3a/3b in the eLicense system and FWS Forms 3-200-44 and 3-200-44A in the Serviceâs ePermits system. The proposed automation of these five forms resulted in a discretionary burden change of 4 annual responses, -1,482 annual burden hours, and $300 annual cost burden. The burden increases are associated with rounding burden split between hardcopy and electronic ICs and the burden decrease is due to the anticipated burden reduction associated with automating the forms.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
