ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
We (U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Service) will ask the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve the information collection (IC)
described below. As required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and
as part of our continuing efforts to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, we invite the general public and
other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on this IC. This
IC is scheduled to expire on October 31,
2017. We may not conduct or sponsor
and you are not required to respond to
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
DATES: To ensure that we are able to
consider your comments on this IC, we
must receive them by July 31, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Send your comments on the
IC to the Service Information Collection
Clearance Officer, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, 5275 Leesburg Pike,
MS: BPHC, Falls Church, VA 22041–
3803 (mail); or info_coll@fws.gov

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
Section 10(j) of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (ESA), as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior to establish
experimental populations of endangered
or threatened species. Because
individuals of experimental populations
are protected under the ESA, the
information we collect is important for
monitoring the success of reintroduction
and recovery efforts. This is a nonform
collection (meaning there is no
designated form associated with this
collection). Information collection
requirements for experimental
populations of vertebrate endangered
and threatened species are found in 50
CFR 17.84. We collect three categories
PO 00000
Frm 00056
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
24989
of information, which are specific to
each species and are described within
50 CFR 17.84:
(1) General take or removal. Take is
defined by the ESA as ‘‘[to] harass,
harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill,
trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to
engage in any such conduct.’’ In this IC,
take most commonly takes the form of
human-related mortality, including
unintentional taking incidental to
otherwise lawful activities (e.g.,
highway mortalities); animal husbandry
actions authorized to manage the
population (e.g., translocation or
providing aid to sick, injured, or
orphaned individuals); take in defense
of human life; take related to defense of
property (if authorized); or take in the
form of authorized harassment.
(2) Specimen collection, recovery, or
reporting of dead individuals. This
information documents incidental or
authorized scientific collection. Most of
the information collected addresses the
reporting of sightings of experimental
population animals or the inadvertent
discovery of an injured or dead
individual.
(3) Depredation-related take. Involves
take for management purposes where
livestock depredation is documented,
and may include authorized harassment
or authorized lethal take of
experimental population animals in the
act of attacking livestock. See 50 CFR
17.84 for specific provisions of
harassment for each species within this
section.
The information that we collect
includes:
• Name, address, and phone number
of reporting party.
• Species involved.
• Type of incident.
• Quantity of take.
• Location and time of the reported
incident.
• Description of the circumstances
related to the incident.
Service recovery specialists use this
information to determine the success of
reintroductions in relation to
established recovery plan goals for the
experimental populations of vertebrate
endangered and threatened species
involved. In addition, this information
helps us to assess the effectiveness of
control activities in order to develop
better means to reduce problems with
livestock for those species where
depredation is a problem.
