Estimated Reporting and

Burden:
We have not identified any ‘‘non-hour

Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that 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 and current expiration date.
Comments: On 9/29/2015 we
published a Federal Register notice (80
FR 58499) announcing that we would
submit this ICR to OMB for approval
and soliciting comments. The comment
period closed on [December 1, 2015].
We received one comment. The
comment did not directly relate to this
collection, but rather is a negative
response to the capture and marking of
birds in general and other actions
related to bird management. There were
no direct comments about any of the
data collection forms so the comment
appears to be irrelevant to this process.
III. Request for Comments
We again invite comments concerning
this ICR as to: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the agency to perform its duties,
including whether the information is
useful; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) how to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) how to minimize the
burden on the respondents, including
the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
Please note that comments submitted
in response to this notice are a matter
of public record. Before including your
personal mailing address, phone
number, email address, or other
personally identifiable information in
your comment, you should be aware
that your entire comment, including
your personally identifiable
information, may be made publicly
available at any time. While you can ask
