Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: We are reporting an increase of 1,552 responses and 95,273 burden hours. The increased burden and changes to this collection are the result of: • an increased number of submissions of applications, as well clarifications regarding the CCAA/SHA submission requirements associated with those respective applications, and the corresponding annual reports; • improved tracking of the information regarding applications (for example, in the past, we may have inadvertently included federal agencies in our count of number of applications received); • submission of new report forms for bats and sea turtles for approval by OMB; • separation of burden for “Request to Revise List of Authorized Individuals” into a separate IC in order to simplify this process (this IC was previously included in the application burden), and • separation of the burden for the submission of Habitat Conservation Plans into a separate IC (previously included with the application). We are also reporting an increase to the annual nonhour burden of $4,750 as the result of the increased number of applications received from local, state, and tribal governments. We also updated the title of the collection to include Section 10. We also updated the title of the collection to include Section 10. Finally, we are reporting an increase in the cost to the Federal government of $677,766 (rounded) (detailed in Attachment B in the Supporting Statement). The additional costs to the government is the result of additional burden hours required for FWS staff to review and process the increased number of responses, as well as the inclusion of the new ICs which were in use without approval from OMB. The new ICs are identified in the question 12 burden table.
