BILLING CODE 4310-55-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service [FWS-R9-IA-2010-N188; 96300-1671-0000-P5] Proposed Information Collection; OMB Control Number 1018-0093; Federal Fish and Wildlife License/Permit Applications, Management Authority AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice; request for comments. SUMMARY: We (Fish and Wildlife Service) will ask the Office of Management and Budget

(IC)described below. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and as part of our continuing efforts to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, we invite the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on this IC. This IC is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2010.

(703)358-2482. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract This IC covers permit applications that our Division of Management Authority uses to determine the eligibility of applicants for permits requested in accordance with the criteria in various Federal wildlife conservation laws and international treaties, including:

(1)Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

(2)Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.).

(3)Lacey Act (16 U.S.C. 3371 et seq.).

(4)Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668).

(5)Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) (27 U.S.T. 1087).

(6)Marine Mammal Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 1361-1407).

(7)Wild Bird Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 4901-4916). Service regulations implementing these statutes and treaties are in Chapter I, Subchapter B of Title 50, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These regulations stipulate general and specific requirements that when met allow us to issue permits to authorize activities that are otherwise prohibited. This revised IC includes FWS Forms 3-200-74 (Single-Use Export Permits Under a Master File or Annual Program File) and 3-200-75 (Registration of a Production Facility for Export of Certain Native Species). These forms are currently approved under OMB Control Number 1018-0137. After OMB takes action on this information collection request, we will discontinue 1018-0137. In addition, we are proposing 10 new forms. We believe these forms will reduce burden on applicants, improve customer service, and allow us to process applications and issue CITES documents quickly.

(1)FWS Form 3-200-21a (Report on the Import of Sport-Hunted Trophies of Argali). Applicants currently submit this report in a nonform format.

(2)FWS Form 3-200-80 (Export of Fertilized Live Eggs, Caviar, or Meat from Aquacultured Paddlefish or Sturgeon CITES). Applicants currently use FWS Forms 3-200-24 or 3-200-76 for this activity.
