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).
