SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This information collection covers permit applications and reports that our Division of Management Authority uses to determine the eligibility of applicants for permits requested in accordance with the criteria in various Federal wildlife conservation laws and international treaties. Service regulations implementing these statutes and treaties are in chapter I, subchapter B of title 50, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These regulations stipulate general and specific requirements that when met allow us to issue permits to authorize activities that are otherwise prohibited.
We are not proposing any major changes to the applications and reports currently approved under OMB Control Number 1018-0093. You may view the currently approved forms at http://www.fws.gov/forms/display.cfm?number1=200. We are proposing a new application: FWS Form 3-200-88 (Musical Instrument (CITES)). The Musical Instrument application will be for multiple border crossings for noncommercial use (including, but not limited to, personal use, performance, display, or competition).
