NOTICES

PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT

Authority: The information requested is authorized by the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) and Title 50, Parts 14 and 17.

Purpose: The information requested is to determine authorization to import or export wildlife, including parts and products, and to facilitate enforcement of the ESA and other wildlife laws and regulations including the provisions of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

Routine Uses: This information may be shared in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the Privacy Act of 1974, and the routine uses listed in the System of Records Notice, FWS-21 Permits System available at https://www.doi.gov/privacy/fws-notices.

Disclosure: Providing the requested information is voluntary. However, failure to furnish all requested information will prevent the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) from being able to authorize import or export of wildlife, including parts and products.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA; 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Service collects required information to determine authorization to import or export wildlife, including parts and products, and to facilitate enforcement of the ESA and other wildlife laws and regulations including the provisions of CITES. Providing the information requested in this form is voluntary. However, failure to provide all requested information may be sufficient cause for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to deny authorization to import or export wildlife, including parts and products. According to the PRA, an agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. OMB has approved this collection of information and assigned Control No. 1018-0012.

ESTIMATED BURDEN STATEMENT

We estimate the public burden to complete this form to be 15 minutes by hand, or 10 minutes electronically, including time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining data, and completing and reviewing the form. Direct comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of the form to the Service Information Clearance Officer, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 5275 Leesburg Pike, MS: PRB (JAO/3W), Falls Church, VA 22041-3803, or via email to [email protected]. Please do not send your completed form to this address.

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT STATEMENT

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides that agency records are to be made available to the public unless an exemption to disclosure applies. Confidential commercial or financial information may be withheld if, in the Service's view, certain criteria are met. For Form 3-177, the Service only considers information in field 19b (the "Applicable Field") as potentially confidential commercial or financial information. To the extent an organization, business, or individual operating as a business believes any of the Applicable Field information that it is submitting is confidential commercial information, that entity (the “submitter”) should be prepared to, upon request by the Service when the Service has received a FOIA request seeking this Applicable Field information, to provide a justification that explains the nature of the information and why it should be withheld under Exemption 4 of the FOIA, with special attention to the submitter’s confidentiality practices. Further, the Service will review whether the information submitted is personal information. If the Service determines the information is personal, it will balance the public interest in disclosure with the submitter's privacy interests.
