SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Convention on International
Trade in Endangered Species of Wild
Fauna and Flora (CITES) uses a system
of permits and certificates to help
ensure that international trade is legal
and does not threaten the survival of
wildlife or plant species in the wild.
Prior to the import or export of CITESlisted species, the Management
Authority and Scientific Authority must
make appropriate determinations and
issue CITES documents. Section 8A of
the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) designates the Secretary of
the Interior as the U.S. Management
Authority and U.S. Scientific Authority
for CITES. The Secretary delegated these
authorities to the Fish and Wildlife
Service.
Before a country can issue an export
permit for CITES Appendix I or II
specimens, the CITES Scientific
Authority of the exporting country must
determine that the export will not be
detrimental to the species, and the
Management Authority must be satisfied
that the specimens were acquired
legally. For the export of Appendix III
specimens, the Management Authority
must be satisfied that the specimens
were acquired legally (CITES does not
require findings from the Scientific
Authority). Prior to the importation of
Appendix I specimens, both the
Scientific Authority and the
Management Authority of the importing
country must make required findings.
The Scientific Authority must also
monitor trade of all species to ensure
that the level of trade is sustainable.
Article VIII(3) of the treaty states that
participating parties should make efforts
to ensure that CITES specimens are
traded with a minimum of delay.
Section XII of Resolution Conf. 12.3
(Rev. CoP13) recommends use of
simplified procedures for issuing CITES
documents to expedite trade that will
have no impact, or a negligible impact,
on conservation of the species involved.
We use FWS Form 3-200-74 (SingleUse Export Permits Under a Master File
or Annual Program File (CITES)) to
streamline the application process for
CITES documents that involve multiple,

similar actions over a given amount of
time. For the initial application,
respondents use forms designed
specifically to address their particular
activity (approved under OMB Control
No. 1018-0093). From information in the
application, we create a master file or
annual program file that contains all the
information necessary for us to make the
required legal acquisition and
nondetriment findings. The applicant
can then submit FWS Form 3-200-74 to
request authorization to carry out
multiple, identical activities over the
next 6 months. On FWS Form 3-200-74,
we request information only about the
number of additional documents the
applicant requires to carry out activities
approved under the previous
application process. By referencing
information in the master file or annual
program file, we can quickly issue
partially completed CITES documents
(with certain specific areas left blank for
completion by the applicant).
United States facilities, such as farms
and aquaculture operations, produce
several native U.S. taxa listed in CITES
Appendices II and III in closed and
semi-closed production systems. By
registering a production facility and
setting up a master file, we can expedite
issuance of export permits for that
facility. The registration is valid for 1
year. We use FWS Form 3-200-75
(Registration of a Production Facility for
Export of Certain Native Species
(CITES)) to collect information on
annual production levels, method of
producing specimens, source of the
parental and founder stock, and method
of transport for international trade. This
information allows us to issue
documents on a very short turnaround
time, and we do not need to collect
additional information prior to the
issuance of export documents.
