SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract. The Migratory Bird Treaty
Act prohibits the take, possession,
import, export, transport, sale, purchase,
or bartering of migratory birds or their
parts except as permitted under the
terms of a valid permit or as permitted
by regulations. In 2006, we issued
regulations establishing two
depredation orders and three control
orders that allow State and tribal
wildlife agencies, private landowners,
and airports to conduct resident Canada
goose population management,
including the take of birds. We monitor
the data collected for activities under
these orders and may rescind an order
if monitoring indicates that activities are
inconsistent with conservation of
Canada geese.
Control order for airports. 50 CFR
21.49 allows managers at commercial,
public, and private airports and military
airfields and their employees or agents
to implement management of resident
Canada geese to resolve or prevent
threats to public safety. An airport must
be part of the National Plan of Integrated

Airport Systems and have received
Federal grant-in-aid assistance or be a
military airfield under the jurisdiction,
custody, or control of the Secretary of a
military department. Each facility
exercising the privileges of the order
must submit an annual report with the
date, numbers, and locations of birds,
nests, and eggs taken.
Depredation order for nests and eggs.
50 CFR 21.50 allows private landowners
and managers of public lands to destroy
resident Canada goose nests and eggs on
property under their jurisdiction
provided they register annually on our
Web site at https://epermits.fws.gov/
eRCGR. Registrants must provide basic
information, such as name, address,
phone number and email, and identify
where the control work will occur and
who will conduct it. Registrants must
return to the Web site to report the
number of nests with eggs they
destroyed.
Depredation order for agricultural
facilities. 50 CFR 21.51 allows States
and tribes, via their wildlife agency, to
implement a program to allow
landowners, operators, and tenants
actively engaged in commercial
agriculture to conduct damage
management control when geese are
committing depredations or to resolve
or prevent other injury to agricultural
interests. State and tribal wildlife
agencies in the Atlantic, Central, and
Mississippi Flyway portions of 41 States
can implement the provisions of the
order. Agricultural producers must
maintain a log of the date and number
of birds taken under this authorization.
States and tribes exercising the
privileges of the order must submit an
annual report of the numbers of birds,
nests, and eggs taken and the county
where take occurred.
Public health control order. 50 CFR
21.52 authorizes States and tribes of the
lower 48 States to conduct (via the State
or tribal wildlife agency) resident
Canada goose control and management
activities when the geese pose a direct

Activity

threat to human health. States and tribes
operating under this order must submit
an annual report summarizing activities,
including the numbers of birds taken
and the county where take occurred.
Population control. 50 CFR 21.61
establishes a managed take program to
reduce and stabilize resident Canada
goose populations when traditional and
otherwise authorized management
measures are not successful or feasible.
A State or tribal wildlife agency in the
Atlantic, Mississippi, or Central Flyway
may request approval for this
population control program. If
approved, the State or tribe may use
hunters to harvest resident Canada geese
during the month of August. Requests
for approval must include a discussion
of the State’s or tribe’s efforts to address
its injurious situations using other
methods or a discussion of the reasons
why the methods are not feasible. If the
Service Director approves a request, the
State or tribe must (1) keep annual
records of activities carried out under
the authority of the program, and (2)
provide an annual summary, including
number of individuals participating in
the program and the number of resident
Canada geese shot. Additionally,
participating States and tribes must
monitor the spring breeding population
by providing an annual estimate of the
breeding population and distribution of
resident Canada geese in their State.

Abstract: Section 4 of the Endangered
Species Act (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.) specifies the process by which we
can list species as threatened or
endangered. When we consider whether
or not to list a species, the ESA requires
us to take into account the efforts being
made by any State or any political
subdivision of a State to protect such
species. We also take into account the
efforts being made by other entities.
States or other entities often formalize
conservation efforts in conservation
agreements, conservation plans,
management plans, or similar
documents. The conservation efforts
recommended or called for in such
documents could prevent some species

from becoming so imperiled that they
meet the definition of a threatened or
endangered species under the ESA.
The Policy for Evaluation of
Conservation Efforts When Making
Listing Decisions (PECE) (68 FR 15100,
March 28, 2003) encourages the
development of conservation
agreements/plans and provides certainty
about the standard that an individual
conservation effort must meet for us to
consider whether it contributes to
forming a basis for making a decision
about the listing of a species. PECE
applies to ‘‘formalized conservation
efforts’’ that have not been implemented
or have been implemented but have not

yet demonstrated if they are effective at
the time of a listing decision.
Under PECE, formalized conservation
efforts are defined as conservation
efforts (specific actions, activities, or
programs designed to eliminate or
reduce threats or otherwise improve the
status of a species) identified in a
conservation agreement, conservation
plan, management plan, or similar
document. To assist us in evaluating a
formalized conservation effort under
PECE, we collect information such as a
conservation plan, monitoring results,
or progress reports. The development of
such agreements/plans is voluntary.
There is no requirement that the
individual conservation efforts included
