This information collection is associated with regulations implementing the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.). Under the MBTA, it is unlawful to take, possess, import, export, transport, sell, purchase, barter, or offer for sale, purchase, or barter migratory birds or their parts, nests, or eggs except as authorized by regulation. In 2003, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) issued regulations authorizing the take of double-crested cormorants (DCCOs) under certain circumstances. The regulations at 50 CFR 21.47 authorize aquaculture producers in 13 States to take DCCOs when the birds are found committing or about to commit depredations on aquaculture stocks. The regulations at 50 CFR 21.48 authorize the U.S. Department of Agriculture (Wildlife Services), States, and federally recognized tribes in 24 States to take DCCOs to protect public resources (fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitat). Any agency or person exercising the privileges of a double-crested cormorant depredation order must satisfy reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements. The Service will use the this information to evaluate the effectiveness of the orders and their impact on cormorant populations.
