SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.) and its implementing regulations
at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all information
collections require approval under the
PRA. We may not conduct or sponsor
and you are not required to respond to
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other
Federal agencies to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that

Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty
Act (MBTA, 16 U.S.C. 703, et seq.)
prohibits the unauthorized take of
migratory birds and authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior to regulate take
of migratory birds in the United States.
Under this authority, we control the
hunting of migratory game birds through
regulations in 50 CFR part 20. On
January 1, 1991, we banned lead shot for
hunting waterfowl and coots in the
United States.
This is a non-form collection.
Regulations at 50 CFR 20.134 outline
the application and approval process for
new types of nontoxic shot. When
considering approval of a candidate
material as nontoxic, we must ensure
that it is not hazardous in the
environment and that secondary
exposure (ingestion of spent shot or its
components) is not a hazard to
migratory birds. To make that decision,
we require each applicant to provide
information about the solubility and
toxicity of the candidate material.
Additionally, for law enforcement
purposes, a noninvasive field detection
device must be available to distinguish
candidate shot from lead shot. This
information constitutes the bulk of an
application for approval of nontoxic
shot. The Director uses the data in the
application to decide whether to
approve a material as nontoxic.
Title of Collection: Approval
Procedures for Nontoxic Shot and Shot
Coatings (50 CFR 20.134).
OMB Control Number: 1018–0067.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Businesses that produce and/or market
approved nontoxic shot types or
nontoxic shot coatings.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 1.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 3,200 hours.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 3,200 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite
the public to comment on applications
for permits under section 10(a)(1)(A) of
the Endangered Species Act, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
The requested permits would allow the
applicants to conduct activities
intended to promote recovery of species
that are listed as endangered under the
ESA.
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits activities that constitute take

of listed species unless a Federal permit
is issued that allows such activity. The
ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes such
activities as pursuing, harassing,
trapping, capturing, or collecting, in
addition to hunting, shooting, harming,
wounding, or killing.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered or threatened
species for scientific purposes that
promote recovery or for enhancement of
propagation or survival of the species.
These activities often include such
prohibited actions as capture and
collection. Our regulations
implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for
these permits are found in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR
17.22 for endangered wildlife species,
50 CFR 17.32 for threatened wildlife
species, 50 CFR 17.62 for endangered
plant species, and 50 CFR 17.72 for
threatened plant species.
Permit Applications Available for
Review and Comment
Proposed activities in the following
permit requests are for the recovery and
enhancement of propagation or survival
of the species in the wild. The ESA
requires that we invite public comment
before issuing these permits.
Accordingly, we invite local, State,
Tribal, and Federal agencies and the
public to submit written data, views, or
arguments with respect to these
applications. The comments and
recommendations that will be most
useful and likely to influence agency
decisions are those supported by
quantitative information or studies.
