use, and current and potential
applications. While a limited number of
responders found the broadcast of
corrections to be beneficial, no
respondents reported the
discontinuance of DGPS broadcast to be
detrimental or harmful. Ship pilots in
particular noted that DGPS can be
critical in confined waterways for
precise shiphandling maneuvers.
Several commenters noted that
NDGPS is part of the Continuously
Operating Reference Stations (CORS) 3
network, which is used with GPS data
to improve the precision of positioning,
has value while others stated they had
alternative networks available. The
USCG cooperates with National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration’s
(NOAA) National Geodetic Survey
(NGS) to supplement their network of
CORS reference stations with NDGPS
sites. Today, DGPS sites account for
approximately 5% of the CORS
network, which is comprised of more
than 1,900 geodetic-grade GPS receivers.
CORS is widely used by Federal, state,
and non-government entities throughout
the United States to provide data for 3dimensional positioning for use in land
surveys, Geographic Information
Systems (GIS), Land Information
Systems (LIS), and environmental
management. Additionally, raw GPS
data is provided to NOAA’s National
Weather Service from all DGPS sites for
weather analysis and prediction.
A few respondents noted the
broadcast signals provide non-line-ofsight benefits. Respondents suggested
alternatives to NDGPS as currently
implemented, such as using existing
NDGPS stations to rebroadcast WAAS
corrections, adding other data to the
broadcast, integrating the broadcast with
positioning technologies, or simply
streaming data from the reference
stations.
After considering the comments and
based on an assessment by DHS, DOT,
and USACE, we propose to shutdown
and decommission 62 sites, which is
planned to occur on January 15, 2016,
which will leave 22 operational sites
available to users in those waterway
where pilots generally operate, i.e.,
where marine traffic is most frequent
and the need for precise marine
navigation is greatest. However, it is
possible for the reference stations to be
transitioned to other Federal, state, and/
or local agencies. Questions about
potential transition of specific reference
stations should be directed to the
3 CORS support surveying, mapping, and related
disciplines that have accuracy requirements which
require the use of a relative positioning technique.
CORS automatically collect and record the GPS data
at known locations in support of these activities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act
prohibits the take, possession, import,
export, transport, sale, purchase, or
bartering of migratory birds or their
parts except as permitted under the
terms of a valid permit or as permitted
by regulations. In 2006, we issued
regulations establishing two
depredation orders and three control
orders that allow State and tribal
wildlife agencies, private landowners,
and airports to conduct resident Canada
goose population management,
including the take of birds. We monitor
the data collected for activities under
these orders and may rescind an order
if monitoring indicates that activities are
