Total Annual Burden Hours: 810.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection.
The Endangered Species Act of 1973
(ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) imposed
prohibitions against the taking of
endangered species. Section 10 of the
ESA allows permits authorizing the
taking of endangered species for
research/enhancement purposes. The
corresponding regulations established
procedures for persons to apply for such
permits. In addition, the regulations set
forth specific reporting requirements for
such permit holders. The regulations
contain two sets of information
collections: (1) Applications for
research/enhancement permits, and (2)
reporting requirements for issued
permits.
The required information is used to
evaluate the impacts of the proposed
activity on endangered species, to make
the determinations required by the ESA
prior to issuing a permit, and to
establish appropriate permit conditions.
To issue permits under ESA Section
10(a)(1)(A), the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) must
determine that (1) such exceptions were
applied for in good faith, (2) if granted
and exercised, will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered
species, and (3) will be consistent with
the purposes and policy set forth in
Section 2 of the ESA.
The currently approved application
and reporting requirements apply to
Pacific marine and anadromous fish
species, as requirements regarding other
species are being addressed in a
separate information collection. There is
one administrative revision requested to
the collection itself: NMFS will no
longer require ‘‘final’’ permit reports;
the reports will simply be considered
annual reports that are submitted at the
end of a permit’s life span.
Affected Public: Federal government;
State, local, or tribal governments;
business or other for-profit
organizations, educational institutions.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain Benefits.
Legal Authority: The Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.).
This information collection request
may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.

Department of Commerce collections

information collection should be
