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:

PO 00000

Frm 00048

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

11121

(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 of the 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 ICR also includes the burden for
permit applications and report forms for
long-term eagle take permits that is
currently approved under OMB Control
Number 1018–0151. Once OMB takes
action on this IC, we will discontinue
OMB Control No. 1018–0151.
Comments Received and Our Responses
On November 13, 2013, we published
in the Federal Register (78 FR 68086) 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
January 13, 2014. We received one
comment from the American Bird
Conservancy (ABC).
The commenter stressed that while
‘‘there are ways that the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be
collected can be enhanced and ways
that a system can be streamlined to
minimize burden of the collection of
information on respondents. . .,’’ he
emphasized that ‘‘the minimum amount
of information to be collected must
allow the USFWS to make a valid
determination that the proposed action
is permissible under the law.
Information regarding impact on wild
populations, proposed use of the
specimens, and explanations of
necessary mitigation/compensation,
when required are thus critical for
allowing the USFWS to do its important
job of protecting our public trust
resources for the benefit of all.’’
We appreciate ABC’s comments
because they recognize the importance
of collecting sufficient information from
applicants and permittees to ensure that
the applicant qualifies for the permit,
that issuance of the permit meets

issuance criteria, and that report
information is sufficient to allow both
enforcement of the permits, and,
particularly where wild birds are
concerned, that the report information
collected contributes to our knowledge
of the impacts of utilities and other
entities on migratory birds, including
eagles.
A significant change we are making is
to convert the report form for Special
Purpose Utility permits (3–202–17) from
paper to electronic format. These
permits allow utilities such as electric,
wind, and solar companies to collect
birds found dead on their property. The
data will be housed in the Avian Injury/
Mortality Reporting System (AIMRS).
Our goal is to make reporting more
convenient for permittees, but electronic
submission will be particularly
beneficial for the Service, because it will
make the data accessible for analysis
without staff having to enter it
manually. This will make the data on
this important source of mortality
readily available to biologists who are
monitoring the impacts of incidental
take and working with industry to
identify best practices to reduce those
impacts.
Request for Public 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.

is now clarified to reflect the GIS model
estimate of approximately 631 acres.
