We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, propose revisions to the eagle nonpurposeful take permit
regulations and eagle nest take regulations that we promulgated in
2009. Proposed revisions include the following: changes to permit
issuance criteria and duration; definitions; compensatory
mitigation standards; criteria for eagle nest removal permits;
permit application requirements; and fees. The revisions are
intended to add clarity to the eagle permit regulations, improve
their implementation, and increase compliance, while providing
strong protection for eagles.

We are reporting 4 annual
responses, 32 annual burden hours, and $366,200 in nonhour burden
costs as program changes for this proposed rule. The 4 responses
and 32 burden hours are associated with the proposed requirement
for 5-year reviews. The revisions to the nonhour burden costs are
associated with proposed changes in fees. All other burden for
eagle take permits is approved under OMB Control Number 1018-0022.
The 171 responses entered in ROCIS as adjustments are approved
under 1018-0022. The responses were only entered as a means to
calculate the nonhour costs.
