§ 12.42 Recovery of certain storage
costs.
If any wildlife, plant, or evidentiary
item is seized and forfeited under the
Endangered Species Act, 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq., any person whose act or omission was the basis for the seizure may
be charged a reasonable fee for expenses to the United States connected
with the transfer, board, handling, or
storage of such property. If any fish,
wildlife or plant is seized in connection
with a violation of the Lacey Act
Amendments of 1981, 16 U.S.C. 3371, et
seq., any person convicted thereof, or
assessed a civil penalty therefor, may
be assessed a reasonable fee for expenses of the United States connected
with the storage, care and maintenance
of such property. Within a reasonable
time after forfeiture, the Service shall
send to such person by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, a bill for such fee. The bill
shall contain an itemized statement of
the applicable costs, together with instructions on the time and manner of
payment. Payment shall be made in accordance with the bill. The recipient of
any assessment of costs under this section who has an objection to the reasonableness of the costs described in
the bill may, within 30 days of the date
on which he received the bill, file written objections with the Regional Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service for
the Region in which the seizure occurred. Upon receipt of the written objections, the appropriate Regional Director will promptly review them and
within 30 days mail his final decision
to the party who filed objections. In all
cases, the Regional Director’s decision
shall constitute final administrative
action on the matter.

[70 FR 18317, Apr. 11, 2005, as amended at 79
FR 30417, May 27, 2014]
§ 13.1 General.
(a) A person must obtain a valid permit before commencing an activity for
which a permit is required by this subchapter, except as provided in § 23.53 of
this subchapter for retrospective permits for certain CITES shipments
under very specific situations.
(b) A person must apply for such a
permit under the general permit procedures of this part and any other regulations in this subchapter that apply to
the proposed activity.
(1) The requirements of all applicable
parts of this subchapter must be met.
(2) A person may submit one application that includes the information required in each part of this subchapter,
and a single permit will be issued if appropriate.
§ 13.4 Emergency variation from requirements.
The Director may approve variations
from the requirements of this part
when he finds that an emergency exists
and that the proposed variations will
not hinder effective administration of
this subchapter B, and will not be unlawful.
§ 13.5 Information collection requirements.
(a) The Office of Management and
Budget approved the information collection requirements contained in this
part 13 under 44 U.S.C. and assigned
OMB Control Number 1018–0092. The
Service may not conduct or sponsor,
and you are not required to respond, to
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. We are collecting this information to provide information necessary to evaluate permit applications.
We will use this information to review
permit applications and make decisions, according to criteria established
in various Federal wildlife conservation statutes and regulations, on the
issuance, suspension, revocation, or denial permits. You must respond to obtain or retain a permit.
(b) We estimate the public reporting
burden for these reporting requirements to vary from 15 minutes to 4
hours per response, with an average of
0.803 hours per response, including time
for reviewing instructions, gathering
and maintaining data, and completing
and reviewing the forms. Direct comments regarding the burden estimate
or any other aspect of these reporting
requirements to the Service Information Collection Control Officer, MS–222
ARLSQ, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Washington, DC 20240, or the Office of
Management and Budget, Paperwork
Reduction Project (1018–0092), Washington, DC 20603.

§ 13.11
(4) You may obtain Endangered Species Act permit applications (50 CFR
17) for activities involving native endangered and threatened species, including incidental take, scientific purposes, enhancement of propagation or
survival (i.e., recovery), and enhancement of survival by writing to the Regional Director (Attention: Endangered
Species Permits) of the Region where
the activity is to take place (see 50
CFR 2.2 or the Service Web site, http://
www.fws.gov, for addresses and boundaries of the Regions). Submit completed applications to the same address
(the Regional office covering the area
where the activity will take place).
Permit applications for interstate commerce for native endangered and
threatened species should be obtained
by writing to the Regional Director
(Attention: Endangered Species Permits) of the Region that has the lead
for the particular species, rather than
the Region where the activity will take
place. You can obtain information on
the lead Region via the Service’s Endangered Species Program Web page
(http://endangered.fws.gov/wildlife.html)
by entering the common or scientific
name of the listed species in the Regulatory Profile query box. Send interstate commerce permit applications for
native listed species to the same Regional Office that has the lead for that
species. Endangered Species Act permit
applications for the import or export of
native endangered and threatened species may be obtained from the Division
of Management Authority in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this section.
(5) You may obtain applications for
bald and golden eagle permits (50 CFR
part 22) and migratory bird permits (50
CFR part 21), except for banding and
marking permits, from, and you may
submit completed applications to, the
‘‘Migratory Bird Permit Program Office’’ in the Region in which you reside.
For addresses of the regional offices,
see 50 CFR 2.2, or go to: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/mbpermits/

Application procedures.
The Service may not issue a permit
for any activity authorized by this subchapter B unless you have filed an application under the following procedures:
(a) Forms. Applications must be submitted in writing on a Federal Fish
and Wildlife License/Permit Application (Form 3–200) or as otherwise specifically directed by the Service.
(b) Forwarding instructions. Applications for permits in the following categories should be forwarded to the
issuing office indicated below.
(1) You may obtain applications for
migratory bird banding permits (50
CFR 21.22) by writing to: Bird Banding
Laboratory, USGS Patuxent Wildlife
Research Center, 12100 Beech Forest
Road, Laurel, Maryland 20708–4037.
Submit completed permit applications
to the same address.
(2) You may obtain applications for
designated port exception permits and
import/export licenses (50 CFR 14) by
writing to the Special Agent in Charge
(SAC) of the Region in which you reside (see 50 CFR 2.2 or the Service Web
site, http://www.fws.gov, for addresses
and boundaries of the Regions). Submit
completed permit applications to the
same address.
(3) You may obtain applications for
Wild Bird Conservation Act permits (50
CFR part 15); injurious wildlife permits
(50 CFR part 16); captive-bred wildlife
registrations (50 CFR part 17); permits
authorizing import, export, or foreign
commerce of endangered and threatened species, and interstate commerce
of nonnative endangered or threatened

request. You should ensure that applications for permits for marine mammals and/or endangered and threatened
species are postmarked at least 90 calendar days prior to the requested effective date. The time we require for processing of endangered and threatened
species incidental take permits will
vary according to the project scope and
significance of effects. Submit applications for all other permits to the
issuing/reviewing office and ensure
they are postmarked at least 60 calendar days prior to the requested effective date. Our processing time may be
increased by the procedural requirements of the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA), the requirement to
publish a notice in the FEDERAL REGISTER requesting a 30-day public comment period when we receive certain
types of permit applications, and/or the
time required for extensive consultation within the Service, with other
Federal agencies, and/or State or foreign governments. When applicable, we
may require permit applicants to provide additional information on the proposal and on its environmental effects
as may be necessary to satisfy the procedural requirements of NEPA.
(d) Fees. (1) Unless otherwise exempted under this paragraph (d), you must
pay the required permit processing fee
at the time that you apply for issuance
or amendment of a permit. You must
pay in U.S. dollars. If you submit a
check or money order, it must be made
payable to the ‘‘U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service.’’ The Service will not refund
any application fee under any circumstances if we have processed the
application. However, we may return
the application fee if you withdraw the
application before we have significantly processed it.
(2) If regulations in this subchapter
require more than one type of permit
for an activity and the permits are
issued by the same office, the issuing
office may issue one consolidated permit authorizing the activity in accordance with § 13.1. You may submit a single application in such cases, provided
that the single application contains all
the information required by the separate applications for each permitted
activity. Where more than one permitted activity is consolidated into
one permit, the issuing office will
charge the highest single fee for the activity permitted.
(3) Circumstances under which we
will not charge a permit application
fee are as follows:
(i) We will not charge a permit application fee to any Federal, tribal, State,
or local government agency or to any
individual or institution acting on behalf of such agency. Except as otherwise authorized or waived, if you fail to
submit evidence of such status with
your application, we will require the
submission of all processing fees prior
to the acceptance of the application for
processing.
(ii) As noted in paragraph (d)(4) of
this section.
(iii) We may waive the fee on a caseby-case basis for extraordinary extenuating circumstances provided that the
issuing permit office and a Regional or
Assistant Director approves the waiver.
(4) User fees. The following table identifies specific fees for each permit application or amendment to a current
permit. If no fee is identified under the
Amendment Fee column, this particular permit either cannot be amended and a new application, and application fee, would need to be submitted or
no fee will be charged for amending the
permit (please contact the issuing office for further information).

3 Per animal.
4 Per species.
(5) We will charge a fee for substantive amendments made to permits
within the time period that the permit
is still valid. The fee is generally half
the original fee assessed at the time
that the permit is processed; see paragraph (d)(4) of this section for the exact
amount. Substantive amendments are
those that pertain to the purpose and
conditions of the permit and are not
purely administrative. Administrative
changes, such as updating name and
address information, are required
under 13.23(c), and we will not charge a
fee for such amendments.
(6) Except as specifically noted in
paragraph (d)(4) of this section, a permit renewal is an issuance of a new
permit, and applicants for permit renewal must pay the appropriate fee
listed in paragraph (d)(4) of this section.
(e) Abandoned or incomplete applications. If we receive an incomplete or
improperly executed application, or if
you do not submit the proper fees, the
issuing office will notify you of the deficiency. If you fail to supply the correct information to complete the application or to pay the required fees within 45 calendar days of the date of notification, we will consider the applica-
tion abandoned. We will not refund any
fees for an abandoned application.

(3) The failure to pay any required
fees or assessed costs and penalties,
whether or not reduced to judgement
disqualifies such person from receiving
or exercising the privileges of a permit
as long as such moneys are owed to the
United States. This requirement shall
not apply to any civil penalty presently subject to administrative or judicial appeal; provided that the pendency
of a collection action brought by the
United States or its assignees shall not
constitute an appeal within the meaning of this subsection.
(4) The failure to submit timely, accurate, or valid reports as required
may disqualify such person from receiving or exercising the privileges of a
permit as long as the deficiency exists.
(d) Use of supplemental information.
The issuing officer, in making a determination under this subsection, may
use any information available that is
relevant to the issue. This may include
any prior conviction, or entry of a plea
of guilty or nolo contendere, or assessment of civil or criminal penalty for a
violation of any Federal or State law
or regulation governing the permitted
activity. It may also include any prior
permit revocations or suspensions, or
any reports of State or local officials.
The issuing officer shall consider all
relevant facts or information available,
and may make independent inquiry or
investigation to verify information or
substantiate qualifications asserted by
the applicant.
(e) Conditions of issuance and acceptance—(1) Conditions of issuance and acceptance. Any permit automatically incorporates within its terms the conditions and requirements of subpart D of
this part and of any part(s) or section(s) specifically authorizing or governing the activity for which the permit is issued, as well as any other conditions deemed appropriate and included on the face of the permit at the
discretion of the Director.
(2) Any person accepting and holding
a permit under this subchapter B acknowledges the necessity for close regulation and monitoring of the permitted activity by the Government. By
accepting such permit, the permittee

§ 13.21 Issuance of permits.
(a) No permit may be issued prior to
the receipt of a written application
therefor, unless a written variation
from the requirements, as authorized
by § 13.4, is inserted into the official file
of the Bureau. An oral or written representation of an employee or agent of
the United States Government, or an
action of such employee or agent, shall
not be construed as a permit unless it
meets the requirements of a permit as
defined in 50 CFR 10.12.
(b) Upon receipt of a properly executed application for a permit, the Director shall issue the appropriate permit unless:
(1) The applicant has been assessed a
civil penalty or convicted of any criminal provision of any statute or regulation relating to the activity for which
the application is filed, if such assessment or conviction evidences a lack of
responsibility.
(2) The applicant has failed to disclose material information required, or
has made false statements as to any
material fact, in connection with his
application;
(3) The applicant has failed to demonstrate a valid justification for the
permit and a showing of responsibility;
(4) The authorization requested potentially threatens a wildlife or plant
population, or
(5) The Director finds through further inquiry or investigation, or otherwise, that the applicant is not qualified.
(c) Disqualifying factors. Any one of
the following will disqualify a person
from receiving permits issued under
this part.
(1) A conviction, or entry of a plea of
guilty or nolo contendere, for a felony
violation of the Lacey Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, or the Bald and
Golden Eagle Protection Act disqualifies any such person from receiving or
exercising the privileges of a permit,
unless such disqualification has been
expressly waived by the Director in response to a written petition.
(2) The revocation of a permit for
reasons found in § 13.28 (a)(1) or (a)(2)
disqualifies any such person from receiving or exercising the privileges of a
