SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This information collection covers permit applications and reports
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. 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.
We are not proposing any major changes to the applications and
reports currently approved under OMB Control Number 1018-0093. You may
view the currently approved forms at http://www.fws.gov/forms/display.cfm?number1=200. We are proposing a new application: FWS Form
3-200-88 (Musical Instrument (CITES)). The Musical Instrument
application will be for multiple border crossings for noncommercial use
(including, but not limited to, personal use, performance, display, or
competition).
