Abstract: The Wildlife and Sport Fish
Restoration Program (WSFR), U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, administers
financial assistance programs (see 77 FR
3489, January 24, 2012). We award most
financial assistance as grants, but
cooperative agreements are possible if
the Federal Government will be
substantially involved in carrying out
the project. You can find a description
of most programs in the Catalog of
Federal Domestic Assistance.
To apply for financial assistance
funds, you must submit an application
that describes in substantial detail
project locations, benefits, funding, and
other characteristics. Materials to assist
applicants in formulating project
proposals are available on Grants.gov.
We use the application to determine:
• Eligibility for the grant.
• Scale of resource values or relative
worth of the project.
• Effect of the project on
environmental and cultural resources.
• How well the proposed project will
meet the purposes of the program’s
establishing legislation.
Persons or entities receiving grants
must submit periodic performance
reports that contain information
necessary for us to track costs and
accomplishments.
Comments: On January 24, 2012, we
published in the Federal Register (77
FR 3489) 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 March 26, 2012. We
received one comment. The commenter
objected to the funding of these grants,
but did not address the information
collection requirements. We did not
make any changes to our requirements.
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, email 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.

I. Abstract
This information collection
implements the requirements of the
Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.) (ESA). There are no
corresponding Service regulations for
the ESA’s post-delisting monitoring
requirement.
The bald eagle (Haliaeetus
leucocephalus) in the lower 48 States
was removed from the List of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
(delisted) on August 8, 2007 (72 FR
37346, July 9, 2007). Section 4(g) of the
ESA requires that all species that are
recovered and removed from the List of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 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. We work with
relevant Federal, State, and tribal
entities, and other species experts to
develop plans and procedures for
systematically monitoring recovered
wildlife and plants after a species is
delisted.
The bald eagle 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 bald
eagles 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 bald eagle

continues to maintain its recovered
status.
We plan to monitor the status of the
bald eagle in the 48 contiguous States by
collecting data on nests over a 20-year
period with sampling events held once
every 5 years. The Post-delisting
Monitoring Plan for the Bald Eagle
(Plan) describes monitoring procedures
and methods. The Plan is available at
http://www.fws.gov/midwest/eagle/
protect/FINAL_BEPDM11May2010.pdf.
We will use the monitoring data to
review the status of the bald eagle in the
United States and determine if it
remains recovered and, therefore, does
not require the protections of the ESA.
