SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.)
implements four treaties concerning
migratory birds signed by the United
States with Canada, Mexico, Japan, and
Russia. These treaties require we
preserve most species of birds in the

PO 00000

Frm 00069

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

United States, and activities involving
migratory birds are prohibited except as
authorized by regulation. 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.
This information collection is
associated with our regulations that
implement the MBTA. In 2003, the
Service issued regulations at 50 CFR
21.43 establishing a depredation order
that authorize the take of blackbirds,
cowbirds, crows, grackles, and magpies
under certain circumstances. These
regulations impose reporting and
recordkeeping requirements. In this
regulation is a depredation order that
authorizes take of blackbirds, cowbirds,
grackles, crows, and magpies ‘‘when
found committing or about to commit
depredations upon ornamental or shade
trees, agricultural crops, livestock, or
wildlife, or when concentrated in such
numbers and manner as to constitute a
health hazard or other nuisance.’’
All persons or entities acting under
this depredation order must provide an
annual report containing the following
information for each species:
• Number of birds taken,
• Months and years in which the
birds were taken,
• State(s) and county(ies) in which
the birds were taken, and
• General purpose for which the birds
were taken (such as for protection of
agriculture, human health and safety,
property, or natural resources).
We collect this information so that we
will be able to determine how many
birds of each species are taken each year
and whether the control actions are
likely to affect the populations of those
species.

I. Abstract

Fish and Wildlife Service

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
National Conservation Training Center
(NCTC) in Shepherdstown, West
Virginia, provides natural resource and
other professional training for Service
employees, employees of other Federal
agencies, and other affiliations,
including State agencies, private
individuals, not-for-profit organizations,
and university personnel. FWS Form 3–
2193 (Training Application) is a quick
and easy method for prospective
students who are not from the
Department of the Interior to request
training. We encourage applicants to use
FWS Form 3–2193 and to submit their
requests electronically. However, we do
not require applicants to complete both
a training form required by their agency
and FWS Form 3–2193. NCTC will
accept any single training request as
long as each submission identifies the
name, address, and phone number of
the applicant, sponsoring agency, class
name, start date, and all required
financial payment information.
NCTC uses data from the form to
generate class rosters, class transcripts,
and statistics, and as a budgeting tool
for projecting training requirements. It is
also used to track attendance,
mandatory requirements, tuition, and
invoicing for all NCTC-sponsored
courses both onsite and offsite.
