Abstract: The American peregrine falcon was removed from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife on August 25, 1999. Section 4(g) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) requires that all species that are recovered and removed from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife (delisted) be monitored in cooperation with the States for a period of not less than 5 years. The purpose of this requirement is to detect any failure of a recovered species to sustain itself without the protections of the ESA. The American peregrine falcon has a large geographic distribution that includes a substantial amount of non-Federal land. Although the ESA requires that monitoring of recovered species be conducted for not less than 5 years, the life history of American peregrine falcons is such that it is appropriate to monitor this species for a longer period of time in order to meaningfully evaluate whether or not the recovered species continues to maintain its recovered status. Formal collection of monitoring data commenced in 2003. Rangewide population monitoring of American peregrine falcons under the Monitoring Plan will take place every 3 years through 2015. We will use the information supplied on the FWS Forms 3-2307, 3-2308, and 3-2309 to review the status of the American peregrine falcon in the United States and determine if it remains recovered and, therefore, does not require the protections of the ESA.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: We are estimating 655 responses totaling 1,638 annual burden hours, which is an increase of 1 response and 33 burden hours. • We are reporting as an adjustment, 1 response and 3 burden hours. • We are reporting as a program change, 30 burden hours that were erroneously omitted in the previous ROCIS submission. Although the previous supporting statement did include these burden hours, they were not included in ROCIS and therefore are reported as a program change.
