PRIVACY AND PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT
Thank you for visiting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (Service) Resident Canada
Goose Nest/Egg Registration web site and reviewing our privacy statement. The
Service collects information to establish and verify a registrant’s eligibility to conduct
certain activities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. This site requests information
specifically to comply with the requirements of the depredation order for resident
Canada geese nests and eggs codified at 50 CFR 21.50. The depredation order
replaces individual Federal depredation permits, but a condition of the permission
granted by the depredation order is that the landowner must register at this site.
Information collected for this registration includes name, address, phone numbers,
facsimile number, e-mail address, and the locations of properties where nests and eggs
will be destroyed. Failure to provide all required information will negate the registration
and make the landowner ineligible to lawfully destroy resident Canada goose nests and
eggs under the depredation order. Information collected for the registration is subject to
the Department of the Interior’s public notice of the existing system of records, Permits
System – Interior, FWS—21, which provides a description of the system, including
purposes and routine uses of the records. The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has approved the information collection and recordkeeping requirements of the
depredation order under OMB control number 1018-0133. An agency may not conduct
or sponsor and you are not required to respond to a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number. The public reporting burden for
information collection for the Resident Canada Goose Nest and Egg Registration is 30
minutes for initial registration, 15 minutes to renew the registration, and 15 minutes for
reporting. This burden estimate includes time for reviewing instructions, gathering and
maintaining data, recordkeeping, and completing and reviewing the registration and
report forms. You may direct comments regarding the burden estimate or any other
aspect of the information collection to the Service Information Clearance Officer, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, Mail Stop 2042-PDM, U.S. Department of the Interior, 1849 C
Street, NW, Washington D.C. 20240.

If you are registering as an individual homeowner, provide the complete
name and address of the individual who will be the responsible registrant. If
you are applying on behalf of a homeowner client, the registrant name and
address must be that of the homeowner.
If you are registering as a business (including homeowners association),
corporation, public agency, local government, or institution, provide the complete
name and address of the entity that will be the responsible registrant and
the name and title of the principal officer. If you are applying on behalf of a
client, the information must pertain to the client.
Note: (1) An entity leasing a home or other property is considered the landowner for
purposes of this registration system. (2) A pest management company registering
on behalf of a client at the client's request must register in the name of the client,
not the pest management company. Each client must be registered separately under
a separate account. (3) A property management company that owns multiple
properties may create a single registration account in the name of the property
management company and list individual properties at the Location screen. A
property management company that does not own the properties must register each
property owner separately.
