regulations at 50 CFR 21.48 (Public
Resource Depredation Order) authorize
State fish and wildlife agencies, APHIS–
Wildlife Services, and federally
recognized tribes in 24 States to take
double-crested cormorants to prevent
depredations on the public resources of
fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats.
Both 50 CFR 21.47 and 21.48 impose
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements on those operating under
the depredation orders. We use the
information collected to:
• Help assess the impact of the
depredation orders on double-crested
cormorant populations.
• Protect nontarget migratory birds or
other species.
• Ensure that agencies and
individuals are operating in accordance
with the terms, conditions, and purpose
of the orders.
• Help gauge the effectiveness of the
orders at mitigating cormorant-related
damages.

Comments Received and Our Responses
On September 30, 2015, we published
in the Federal Register (80 FR 58770) 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
November 30, 2015. We received one
comment from an individual. Although
much of what was submitted did not
relate to the information collection
directly, the commenter made two main
points:
• The Service does not have a
mechanism in place to evaluate the
validity of the data submitted. Instead,
the Service relies on the integrity of
others to submit reliable data.
• There is no systematic evaluation of
control programs and the system
continues to proceed based on faith that
what is being done is accomplishing
some kind of benefit.
We appreciate these comments
because they recognize the importance
of collecting sufficient information to
allow the Service to do its important job

of protecting our public trust resources
for the benefit of all. The information
collected serves as a tool for
enforcement of the depredation orders
and contributes to our knowledge of the
impacts of the depredation orders on
double-crested cormorants. Because of
the risk of enforcement, we believe
those operating under these orders have
reason to collect and report reliable
data. We agree that the control program
would benefit from a systematic
evaluation. This evaluation will be
conducted as resources allow. We did
not make any changes to our
requirements at this time.
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
comment, including your personal
identifying information, may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask OMB and us in your
comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public
review, we cannot guarantee that it will
be done.
