Abstract: Conservation banks are
permanently protected lands that
contain natural resource values, which
are conserved and permanently
managed for species that are endangered
or threatened, candidates for listing as
endangered or threatened, or are
otherwise species at risk. The habitat
preserved, restored, or established in
conservation banks is used to offset
adverse impacts to species that occurred
elsewhere. We approve habitat or
species credits that bank owners may
sell in exchange for permanently
protecting and managing habitat for
these species. We began approving
conservation banks in the early 1990s,
and 132 banks have been approved as of
January 2015 (including approved and
sold-out banks).
The Service and the Department of
the Interior’s Office of Policy Analysis
are conducting an analysis to identify
potential institutional or other
impediments to the habitat conservation
banking program, and develop possible
options for encouraging expanded use of
the program. We plan to survey
conservation bank sponsors and
managers. The surveys will benefit the
Service by helping to identify
constraints in the current conservation
banking program, and thus provide
important information for developing
recommendations for further expansion
or perhaps changes to the program.
We will survey leaders and managers
from the entire sample of entities
sponsoring conservation banks. Two
surveys will be used to obtain
information from a corporate or
organizational point of view, as well as
information about the operation of
individual banks. We plan to collect:
(1) Background information on the
bank(s).
(2) Information about experience with
the conservation banking program.
(3) Perceptions of technical and
institutional obstacles encountered in
the conservation banking program.
(4) Perceptions of incentives that
would help foster successful banks.
Comments Received and Our Responses
Comments: On May 15, 2013, we
published in the Federal Register (78

The commenter objected to the survey,

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.
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
