Short Statement: We are estimating 61,623 responses, 106,661 burden hours, and $1,520,525 in nonhour burden costs. This is a net increase of 4,363 responses, 13,259 burden hours, and $470,600 in nonhour burden costs from our previous submission. We are reporting as a program change: • A decrease of 704 responses, 888 burden hours, and $70,400 nonhour costs associated with the elimination of falconry and eagle falconry permits. (Burden reduction initiative) • A decrease of 200 responses and 300 burden hours associated with the removal of the IC for FWS Form 3-200-12 for individuals. This is a ROCIS-forced program change. It is actually an adjustment as a result of our efforts to accurately identify respondent groups We are reporting as an adjustment the remaining net increase of 5,267 responses, 14,447 burden hours, and $541,000 in nonhour burden costs. These increases are the result of adjustments to our estimated number of responses and/or burden hours as well as the inclusion of the burden on eagle take long-term programmatic permits (OMB Control Number 1018-0151). We made these adjustments based on our experience in administering this collection over the past years.
