Jkt 223001

Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals; zoological parks; museums;
universities; scientists; taxidermists;
businesses; and Federal, State, tribal,
and local governments.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion
for applications; annually or on
occasion for reports.
Number of Respondents: 57,260.
Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 57,260.
Completion Time per Response:
Varies from 15 minutes to 40 hours
depending on activity.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 93,402.
Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden
Cost: $1,049,925 for fees associated with
permit applications.
Abstract: Our 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 (16 U.S.C. 3371 et seq.).
(3) Bald and Golden Eagle Protection
Act (16 U.S.C. 668).
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.
All Service permit applications are in
the 3–200 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. This revised ICR includes
modifications to the format and content
of the currently approved applications
so that they (a) are easier to understand
and complete and (b) will accommodate
future electronic permitting.
This ICR includes four permit
application and report forms that are
currently approved under OMB Control
Number 1018–0136. Once OMB takes
action on this IC, we will discontinue
OMB Control No. 1018–0136.

(Disturb)).

• FWS Form 3–202–15 (Eagle Take

• FWS Form 3–202–16 (Eagle Nest
Take Monitoring and Reporting).
In addition, we are proposing three
new forms:
• FWS Form 3–200–81 (Special
Purpose—Utility) will provide an
application specifically tailored for
utilities (e.g., power, communications)
to request permits to salvage migratory
birds on their property and rights-ofway.
• FWS Form 3–200–82 (Eagle
Transport Into and Out of the United
States) will provide an application for
permits under the Bald and Golden
Eagle Protection Act to transport dead
eagle specimens into and out of the
country temporarily for scientific or
exhibition purposes, such as for
museum exhibits.
• FWS Form 3–202–17 (Special
Purpose—Utility Annual Report) will
provide a standardized annual report
form for Special Purpose—Utility
permits.
Comments: On April 7, 2010, we
published in the Federal Register (75
FR 17757) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB renew approval for
this information collection. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on June 7, 2010. We did
not receive any comments.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment, including your personal
identifying information, may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask OMB in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that it will be done.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for details.
We now reopen the comment period. If

because we have already incorporated
them in the public record and will fully
consider them in developing our final
recovery plan.
DATES: To ensure consideration, please
send your written comments by
December 15, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Electronic copies of the
draft revised recovery plan are available
online at: http://ecos.fws.gov/docs/

announcing the availability of the Draft
Revised Recovery Plan for the Northern
Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis caurina)
for public review and comment under
the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C
1531 et seq.). We originally opened this
comment period for 60 days, from
September 15, 2010, to November 15,
2010. We are re-opening the public
comment period until December 15,
2010, in response to several requests for
additional time to review and comment
on the draft revised recovery plan.
For background information on the
draft revised recovery plan, see our
September 15, 2010, notice. As stated in
that notice, we particularly seek
comments concerning portions of the
draft revised recovery plan that have
been updated from the 2008 recovery
plan. Appendix C of the draft revised
recovery plan described stages 1 and 2
of our ongoing three-stage spotted owl
modeling effort. Since its release we
have continued this effort, initiating
population response modeling using the
individual-based population program
HexSim. Though still at preliminary
draft stage, population response
simulations from this portion of the
modeling process are available for
public review by request from our
office. These simulations do not
estimate what will occur in the future,
but provide comparative information on
potential population responses to
different conservation scenarios as
described in the draft revised recovery
plan.
Public Availability of Comments
Before including your address, phone
number, e-mail address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you may ask us in your comment
to withhold personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Authority
The authority for this action is section
4(f) of the Endangered Species Act, 16
U.S.C. 1533(f).
Dated: November 15, 2010.
