Services has funded a Coordinating
Center to Support State Incentive Grants
to Build Capacity for Alternatives to
Restraint and Seclusion. The grants are
designed to promote the
implementation and evaluation of best
practice approaches to reducing the use
of restraint and seclusion in mental
health facilities. Grantees consist of 8
sites (state mental health agencies), most
of which will be implementing
interventions in multiple facilities (a
total of 76 facilities). These include
facilities serving adults and those
serving children and/or adolescents,
with various subgroups such as forensic
and sexual offender populations.
With input from multiple experts in
the field of restraint and seclusion and
alternatives to restraint and seclusion,
the project created a common core of
data collection instruments that will be
used for this cross-site project. The
facilities will complete four different
instruments: (1) Facility/Program
Characteristics Inventory (information
about type of facilities, characteristics of
persons served, staffing patterns, and
unit specific data); (2) Inventory of
Seclusion and Restraint Reduction
Interventions; (3) Treatment Episode
Data (admission data for all clients/
patients); and (4) Event Data (data about
the use of restraint and seclusion). Data
Number of
respondents
Instrument
will be submitted by the sites
electronically via a secured Web site.
The Facility/Program Characteristic
Inventory and Inventory of Seclusion
and Restraint Reduction Intervention
will be collected annually. The
Treatment Episode Data and Event Data
will be collected monthly.
The resulting data will help to
identify the: (1) Number of programs
adopting best practices involving
alternative approaches to restraint and
seclusion; and (2) program’s impact of
reducing restraint and seclusion use and
adoption of alternative practices. The
estimated annual response burden to
collect this information is as follows:

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The American peregrine
falcon was removed from the List of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife on
August 25, 1999. Section 4(g) of the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) requires
that all species that are recovered and
removed from the List of Endangered
and Threatened Wildlife (delisted) be
monitored in cooperation with the
States for a period of not less than 5
years. The purpose of this requirement
is to detect any failure of a recovered
species to sustain itself without the
protections of the ESA. We (Fish and
Wildlife Service) have submitted the
collection of information described
below to OMB for renewal under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB
regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which
implement provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), require that interested members
of the public and affected agencies have
an opportunity to comment on
information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d)). Currently we have approval
from OMB to collect information on the
American peregrine falcon under OMB
control number 1018–0101. This
approval expires on March 31, 2005. We
have submitted a request to OMB to
renew approval of the information
collection included in the ‘‘Monitoring
Plan for the American Peregrine Falcon:
A Species Recovered under the
Endangered Species Act’’ (Monitoring
Plan) (USFWS 2003). The monitoring
plan is available on our Web site at
https://endangered.fws.gov/recovery/
peregrine/plan2003.pdf. We are
requesting a 3-year term of approval for
this information collection. Federal
agencies 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. OMB has up to 60 days to
approve or disapprove our information
collection request, but may respond
after 30 days. Therefore, to ensure that
your comments receive consideration,
send all comments and suggestions to
OMB by the date listed in the DATES
section.
We published a 60-day notice on this
information collection renewal in the
Federal Register on January 3, 2005 (70
FR 101) inviting public comment. In
addition to publishing a Federal
Register notice, we contacted seven
non-Federal biologists who have used
the forms previously and asked them to
review each of the three forms
associated with peregrine falcon
monitoring and to comment on the
clarity and relevance of the information
collection, the burden associated with
the collection, and whether there is
something we could do to minimize the
burden. We received a total of 10
comments, including three comments
on the Federal Register notice.
We received one comment from an
individual and comments from two
States on the Federal Register notice.
The individual did not express an
opinion on the information collection
itself, but took issue with the original
delisting of peregrine falcons in 1999.
One State supported the collection of
American peregrine falcon monitoring
data and stated that the information will
have tremendous practical utility for
both the State and the Service. That
State supports the submission of forms
via e-mail and also agreed with our
burden estimates for completing the
monitoring forms, but commented that
the data collection itself could take
more than 1 day. The other State
commented that we should request
OMB approval for the entire time frame
needed for peregrine monitoring (until
2015) rather than submit several
requests. This is not an option. By law,
OMB can grant approval of information
collections for a maximum of 3 years.
That State was also concerned that,
while the burden hours for completion
of the forms was accurate, the Service
does not account for the time necessary
to locate, access, and monitor falcon
eyries. The State recommended that we
reevaluate the estimate of burden to
incorporate these important aspects of
monitoring and data collection. In
response, we have included burden
estimates for the time required to visit
nest sites and record the data. The State
also recommended that we account for
the extra time it takes to collect
contaminants samples. We did not
include that estimate in the burden
hours, because collecting contaminants
samples is done opportunistically, in
conjunction with some other activity at
the nest site. It is rarely, if ever, the
primary reason for visiting a nest.
However, we have included the time it
takes to process the contaminants
samples.
The comments we received from our
outreach effort were generally favorable
and included some helpful suggestions
for improving the forms. The
commenters estimated the burden hours
for completing the monitoring forms to
be less than the hours we previously
estimated.
Post-delisting monitoring, required by
the ESA, tracks population trends of
recovered species. Data for American
peregrine falcons are collected by and
reported back to professional biologists
and volunteers according to the
monitoring plan. Contaminants
monitoring is included as part of the
post-delisting monitoring for peregrine
falcons because they are sensitive to
contaminants in the environment, and
contaminants could cause population
declines in the future. Contaminants
monitoring involves collection of
addled eggs found in nests and parts of
feathers from nestlings.
The Regional Migratory Birds and
Habitat Programs and the Endangered
Species offices use the information
provided in the three monitoring forms
(3–2307, 3–2308, and 3–2309) to track
measures of reproductive success and
levels of contaminants in American
peregrine falcons. The nest monitoring
data is reported on a 3-year interval,
after each monitoring year. The
contaminants monitoring is
opportunistic, with sample size goals to
be reached every 5 years. The results of
contaminants monitoring will be
reported after each 5-year interval. If we
do not collect this data, we could not
satisfy our responsibilities under the
delisting monitoring requirements of
section 4(g) of the Endangered Species
Act (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1533g).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May
12, 2004, the State of Alaska filed
applications for recordable disclaimers
of interest pursuant to Section 315 of
the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act and the regulations
contained in 43 CFR subpart 1864 for
lands underlying Salcha River (FF–
094263). A recordable disclaimer of
interest, if issued, will confirm the
United States has no valid interest in
the subject lands. The notice is intended
to notify the public of the pending
applications and the State’s grounds for
supporting it. The State asserts that this
river is navigable; therefore, under the
Equal Footing Doctrine and Submerged
Lands Act of 1953, ownership of these
lands underlying the rivers
automatically passed from the United
States to the State at the time of
statehood in 1959.
The State’s application (FF–094263) is
for the bed of the Salcha River and all
interconnecting sloughs between the
ordinary high water lines of the left and
right banks from origins within T. 3 N.,
R. 19 E., Fairbanks Meridian (FM),
Alaska, downstream approximately 125
miles SW to confluence with the Tanana
River at T. 5 S., R. 4 E., FM. The State
did not identify any known adverse
claimant or occupant of the affected
lands.
A final decision on the merits of the
applications will not be made before
June 23, 2005. During the 90-day period,
interested parties may comment upon
the State’s application, AA–085446, and
supporting evidence. Interested parties
may comment on the evidentiary
evidence presented in the BLM’s Draft
Navigability Reports on or before May
24, 2005.
