I. Abstract:

We (U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service) have sent an Information
Collection Request (ICR) to OMB for
review and approval. We summarize the
ICR below and describe the nature of the
collection and the estimated burden and
cost. This information collection is
scheduled to expire on January 31,
2017. We may not conduct or sponsor
and a person is not required to respond
to a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. However, under OMB
regulations, we may continue to
conduct or sponsor this information
collection while it is pending at OMB.
DATES: You must submit comments on
or before March 2, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Send your comments and
suggestions on this information
collection to the Desk Officer for the
Department of the Interior at OMB–

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(MBTA) (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.) prohibits
the unauthorized take of migratory birds
and authorizes the Secretary of the
Interior to regulate take of migratory
birds in the United States. Under this
authority, we control the hunting of
migratory game birds through
regulations in 50 CFR part 20. On
January 1, 1991, we banned lead shot for
hunting waterfowl and coots in the
United States.
Regulations at 50 CFR 20.134 outline
the application and approval process for
new types of nontoxic shot. When
considering approval of a candidate
material as nontoxic, we must ensure
that it is not hazardous in the
environment and that secondary
exposure (ingestion of spent shot or its
components) is not a hazard to
migratory birds. To make that decision,
we require each applicant to provide
information about the solubility and
toxicity of the candidate material.
Additionally, for law enforcement
purposes, a noninvasive field detection
device must be available to distinguish
candidate shot from lead shot. This
information constitutes the bulk of an
application for approval of nontoxic
shot. The Director uses the data in the
application to decide whether or not to
approve a material as nontoxic.

Interior.

III. Comments
On November 17, 2016, we published
in the Federal Register (81 FR 81153) 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
January 17, 2017. We received the
following comments in response to the
notice:
Comment 1: Olin/Winchester
Ammunition requested clarification on
the intent of our notice of intent.
Service Response: The purpose of our
notice was to inform the public of our
intent to renew this information
collection requirement and to invite
comments concerning the current
information collection burden (specific
information sought further spelled out
below).
Comment 2: A commenter questioned
the estimated burden of 3,200 hours.
Service Response: Our current
estimate of burden comes from over 25
years of experience dealing with
nontoxic shot applications and the
companies preparing them.
Comment 3: The American Veterinary
Medical Association expressed support
for the information collection.
Additionally, they encouraged us to
change our terminology of ‘‘nontoxic
shot and shot coatings’’ to ‘‘nontoxic
ammunition and ammunition coatings’’
thereby being more inclusive of
ammunition types
Service Response: We understand the
desire to be more inclusive; however,
our authority under the MBTA
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior

to regulate the take of migratory birds in
the United States. Under this authority,
we promulgate regulations controlling
the hunting of migratory game birds
through regulations in 50 CFR part 20.
We do not have any authority over
general nontoxic ammunition and
ammunition coatings, only that which is
used for the hunting and take of
migratory birds.
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.

information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment, including your personal

information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that it will be done.
