Jkt 253001

In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.) and its implementing regulations
at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all information
collections require approval under the
PRA. We 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.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other
Federal agencies to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:

(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,

be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal

comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: The Endangered Species Act
(ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) makes it
unlawful to import or export wildlife or
wildlife products for commercial
purposes without first obtaining an
import/export license (see 16 U.S.C.
1538(d)). The ESA also requires that fish

E:\FR\FM\27SEN1.SGM

53338

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 184 / Monday, September 27, 2021 / Notices

or wildlife be imported into or exported
from the United States only at a
designated port, or at a nondesignated
port under certain limited
circumstances (see 16 U.S.C. 1538(f)).
This information collection includes the
following permit/license application
forms:
FWS Form 3–200–2, ‘‘Designated Port
Exception Permit’’
Under 50 CFR 14.11, it is unlawful to
import or export wildlife or wildlife
products at ports other than those
designated in 50 CFR 14.12, unless you
qualify for an exception. The following
exceptions allow qualified individuals,
businesses, or scientific organizations to
import or export wildlife or wildlife
products at a nondesignated port:
(a) To export the wildlife or wildlife
products for scientific purposes;
(b) To minimize deterioration or loss;
or
(c) To relieve economic hardship.
To request authorization to import or
export wildlife or wildlife products at
nondesignated ports, applicants must
complete FWS Form 3–200–2.
Designated port exception permits can
be valid for up to 2 years. We may
require a permittee to file a report on
activities conducted under authority of
the permit.
FWS Form 3–200–3a, ‘‘Federal Fish and
Wildlife Permit Application Form:
Import/Export License—U.S. Entities,’’
and 3–200–3b, ‘‘Federal Fish and
Wildlife Permit Application Form:
Import/Export License—Foreign
Entities’’
It is unlawful to import or export
wildlife or wildlife products for
commercial purposes without first
obtaining an import/export license (50
CFR 14.91). Applicants located in the
United States must complete FWS Form
3–200–3a to request this license.
Foreign applicants that reside or are
located outside the United States must
complete FWS Form 3–200–3b to
request this license.

We use the information collected on
FWS Forms 3–200–3a and 3–200–3b as
an enforcement tool and management
aid to (a) monitor the international
wildlife market and (b) detect trends
and changes in the commercial trade of
wildlife and wildlife products. Import/
export licenses are valid for up to 1
year. We may require a licensee to file
a report on activities conducted under
authority of the import/export license.
Proposed Revisions
Automation in eLicense System
With this submission, we also seek
OMB approval to automate FWS Forms
3–200–2, ‘‘Designated Port Exception
Permit’’ (50 CFR parts 13 and 14), Form
3–200–3a, ‘‘Federal Fish and Wildlife
Permit Application Form: Import/Export
License—U.S. Entities’’ (50 CFR parts 13
and 14), and Form 3–200–3b, ‘‘Federal
Fish and Wildlife Permit Application
Form: Import/Export License—Foreign
Entities’’ (50 CFR parts 13 and 14) in a
new eLicense system. This automation
is expected to reduce the burden on the
public. The eLicense system will also
simplify the application process and
give the applicant the ability to pay
online through Pay.gov via credit card
or direct bank payment. This will
reduce the number of applicants
requesting multiple licenses for the
same business and will reduce the
number of bad addresses and bounced
checks that we receive.
Automation in ePermits System
With this submission, we propose a
revision to the collection to obtain OMB
approval to automate Form 3–200–44,
‘‘Permit Application Form: Registration
of an Agent/Tannery under the Marine
Mammal Protection Act (MMPA),’’ and
Form 3–200–44a, ‘‘Registered Agent/
Tannery Bi-Annual Inventory Report’’
in the Service’s ‘‘ePermits’’ system. The
ePermits system is an automated permit
application system that streamlines the
permitting process to reduce public
burden. Public burden reduction is a
priority for the Service; the Assistant

Secretary for Fish, Wildlife, and Parks;
and senior leadership at the Department
of the Interior. The ePermits system
fully automates the permitting process
to improve the customer experience and
to reduce time burden on respondents.
This system also enhances the user
experience by allowing users to enter
data from any device that has internet
access, including PCs, tablets, and
smartphones. Furthermore, the system
links the permit applicant to the Pay.gov
system for payment of any associated
permit application fees.
Until we have actual usage data from
the eLicense and ePermits systems, we
are splitting the previously approved
public burden equally between hard
copy and electronic submissions (see
burden table below). After the forms are
operational in the two systems for at
least 12 18 months, the Service will
have more reliable burden data to
submit to OMB in conjunction with the
next renewal of this collection.
Title of Collection: Federal Fish and
Wildlife Applications and Reports—
Law Enforcement; 50 CFR parts 13 and
14.
OMB Control Number: 1018–0092.
Form Number: FWS Forms 3–200–2,
3–200–3, 3–200–3a, 3–200–44, and 3–
200–44a.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals, private sector, and State/
local/Tribal entities.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion
for Forms 3–200–2, 3–200–3, 3–200–3a,
3–200–44 and reporting requirements
and bi-annually for Form 3–200–44a.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: $1,188,100. There is a
$100 fee associated with applications
(Forms 3–200–2 and 3–200–3) received
from individuals and the private sector.
There is no fee for applications from
government agencies or for processing
reports.
