Abstract: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service’s regional migratory bird permit
offices use information that we collect
on permit applications to determine the
eligibility of applicants for permits
requested in accordance with the
criteria in various Federal wildlife
conservation laws and international
treaties, including:
(1) Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16
U.S.C. 703 et seq.).
(2) Lacey Act (18 U.S.C. 42; 16 U.S.C.
3371 et seq.).
(3) Bald and Golden Eagle Protection
Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.).
Service regulations implementing
these statutes and treaties are in chapter
I, subchapter B of title 50 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR), parts 10,
13, 20, and 21. These regulations
stipulate general and specific
requirements that, when met, allow us
to issue permits to authorize activities
that are otherwise prohibited.
Generally, with the exception of forms
3–186 and 3–186a, all Service migratory
bird permit application and report forms
are in the 3–200 and 3–202 series of
forms, each tailored to a specific activity
based on the requirements for specific
types of permits. We collect standard
identifier information for all permits.
The information that we collect on
applications and reports is the
minimum necessary for us to determine
if the applicant meets/continues to meet
issuance requirements for the particular
activity.
In accordance with Federal
regulations at 50 CFR 13.12, we collect
standard identifier information for all
permit applications, such as:
• Applicant’s full name and address
(street address, city, county, State, and
zip code; and mailing address if
different from street address); home and
work telephone numbers; and a fax
number and email address (if available),
and
—If the applicant resides or is located
outside the United States, an address
in the United States, and, if the
applicant is applying for permission
to conduct commercial activities, the
name and address of his or her agent

that is located in the United States;
and
—If the applicant is an individual, the
date of birth, occupation, and any
business, agency, organizational, or
institutional affiliation associated
with the wildlife or plants to be
covered by the license or permit; or
—If the applicant is a business,
corporation, public agency, or
institution, the tax identification
number; description of the business
type, corporation, agency, or
institution; and the name and title of
the person responsible for the permit
(such as president, principal officer,
or director);
• Location where the requested
permitted activity is to occur or be
conducted;
• Certification containing the
following language:
—‘‘I hereby certify that I have read and
am familiar with the regulations
contained in title 50, part 13, of the
Code of Federal Regulations and the
other applicable parts in subchapter B
of chapter I of title 50, Code of Federal
Regulations, and I further certify that
the information submitted in this
application for a permit is complete
and accurate to the best of my
knowledge and belief. I understand
that any false statement herein may
subject me to suspension or
revocation of this permit and to the
criminal penalties of 18 U.S.C. 1001.’’
• Requested effective date of permit
(except where issuance date is fixed by
the part under which the permit is
issued);
• Current date;
• Signature of the applicant;
• Such other information as the
Director determines relevant to the
processing of the application, including
but not limited to
—Information on the environmental
effects of the activity consistent with
40 CFR 1506.5 and Departmental
procedures at 516 DM 6, appendix
1.3A; and
—Additional information required on
applications for other types of permits
may be found by referring to Table 1
to Paragraph (b) in 50 CFR 13.12.
Standardization of general
information common to the application
forms makes the filing of applications
easier for the public, as well as
expediting our review of applications.
The information that we collect on
applications and reports is the
minimum necessary for us to determine
if the applicant meets/continues to meet
issuance requirements for the particular
activity.

Proposed Revisions to This Information
Collection
With this submission, we are
proposing the following revisions to the
existing information collection:
Revisions to Section E in Permit
Applications
In 2020, the Service implemented a
new automated permit application
called ePermits. The ePermits system
allowed the Service to move towards a
streamlined permitting process to
reduce the information collection
burden on the public, particularly small
businesses. Public burden reduction is a
priority for the Service; the Assistant
Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and
Parks; and senior leadership at the
Department of the Interior. The intent of
the ePermits system is to fully automate
the permitting process to improve the
customer experience and to reduce time
burden on respondents. This system
enhances the user experience by
allowing users to enter data from any
device that has internet access,
including personal computers, tablets,
and smartphones. It also links the
permit applicant to the Pay.gov system
for payment of the associated permit
application fee.
Users of the ePermits system register
for and use an account which will then
automatically populate the forms they
complete with the required
identification information. The system
eliminates the need for applicants to
enter their information multiple times
when they apply for separate permits
and reducing burden on the applicant.
The account registration process will
also provide private sector users an
opportunity to self-identify as a small
business which will enable the Service
to more accurately report burden
associated with information collection
requirements placed on them.
At this time, the ePermits system is
unable to fully automate Section E of
the permit application process. Section
E of each permit application is
customized based on the permit type.
We anticipate being able to begin
digitizing Section E on our forms in
calendar year 2022. As a result of
challenges with the development of
forms within the ePermits system, we
do not have a timeline for full
automation of Section E. We anticipate
beginning the digitization of the report
forms contained in this collection by
2023 and believe the digitization of
Section E on application forms should
be finalized by fiscal year 2024, as
funding and resources become available.
We do not anticipate changes to the
questions within Section E of each

29874

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 95 / Tuesday, May 17, 2022 / Notices

application form. We also do not plan
to make changes to the annual report
forms contained in this collection.
However, we do anticipate proposing
the following changes to certain permit
application forms contained in this
collection, to include:
• Applicants will be able to select the
type of business they manage (for-profit,
small business, farm, not-for-profit, or
government entity).
• Requesting businesses using
ePermits provide email addresses for
both the principal officer and the
business.
• The signature block will be
replaced by with electronic submission
of the online applications.
• The ePermits system will also:
—Allow users to apply on behalf of
another individual or business as a
new way to identify if a consultant is
applying for a client.
—Ask for the name of the authorized
individual to include on the permit
and will allow a business to nickname
their applications.
—Ask the applicant to identify the
location where the majority of the
authorized activities will occur.
—Ask the applicant to identify the
physical address of the preparer of
application.
—Ask the applicants to identify if they
are tax exempt.
—Prompt applicants to provide their
preferred contact method.
—Prompt the applicant to describe
changes associated with amendments
or renewals (with changes) of their
permit.
—Prompt applicants to opt in or out to
release their information for all
applications except migratory bird
rehabilitation permits (businesses are
automatically opted in).
—Prompt the applicant to provide a
parent permit number, which allows
the ePermits System to direct the user
to the correct version of their permit
for renewals or amendments to a
permit.

to act on behalf of State, local, Tribal,
and Federal government agencies to
verify their exempt status for fee
exemption purposes;
• Fee waiver request process as
outlined in 50 CFR 13.11(d)(3)(iii);
• Requests for reconsideration of a
denial, partial denial, suspension, or
revocation of a permit (requiring
submission of a written request with the
required information in 50 CFR 13.29(b)
within 45 days after the permit
decision); and
• Appeals of reconsideration request
decisions (requiring the permittee
submit a written request to the Regional
Director (see 50 CFR 13.29(e)) within 45
