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,

for projecting training requirements. It is
also used to track attendance,
mandatory requirements, tuition, and
invoicing for all NCTC-sponsored
courses both on- and off-site.
Comments: On April 25, 2008, we
published in the Federal Register (73 FR
22430) 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 June 24, 2008. We received
one comment. The comment was
directed to the subject matter, validity,
and necessity of the training and not at
the need for the information collection.
The commenter stated that training does
not help the general public and that
NCTC is a private hunting club. The
commenter believes that the training we
provide is focused on gun, hunting, and
violence proponents.
All training courses that NCTC offers,
with the exception of some bureau
specific courses, are open to members of
the general public who have the
required background experience or
knowledge to allow their full
understanding of the subject matter.
Very few of our training courses have an
emphasis on guns and hunting. Those
courses that do touch on this subject are
presented in the context of refuge and
wildlife management and law
enforcement. We have not made any
changes to the collection in response to
this comment.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
(1) whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
(3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment, including your personal
identifying information, may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask OMB in your comment to

Abstract: The number of light geese
(lesser snow, greater snow, and Ross’
geese) in the midcontinent region has
nearly quadrupled during the past
several decades due to a decline in adult
mortality and an increase in winter
survival. We refer to these species and
subspecies as light geese because of
their light coloration as opposed to dark
geese such as white-fronted or Canada
geese. Because of their feeding activity,
light geese have become seriously
injurious to their habitat as well as to
habitat important to other migratory
birds. This poses a serious threat to the
short- and long-term health and status of
some migratory bird populations. We
believe that the number of light geese in
the midcontinent region has exceeded
long-term sustainable levels for their
arctic and subarctic breeding habitats
and that the populations must be
reduced. 50 CFR 21 provides authority
for the management of overabundant,
midcontinent light geese.
On February 16, 1999, we published
a final rule (64 FR 7517) that established
a conservation order for midcontinent
light geese (50 CFR 21.60). This
regulation authorizes States and tribes
in the midcontinent region to control
midcontinent light geese within the
United States through the use of
alternative regulatory strategies. The
conservation order authorizes States/
tribes to implement population control
measures without having to obtain a
permit, thus significantly reducing their
administrative burden. The
conservation order is a streamlined
process that affords an efficient and
effective population reduction strategy,
rather than addressing the issue through
our permitting process. Furthermore,
this strategy precludes the use of more
drastic and costly direct populationreduction measures such as trapping
and culling geese.
States/tribes that participate in the
conservation order must inform and
brief all participants on the
requirements in 50 CFR 21.60 and
conservation order conditions that
apply to the implementation of light
geese control measures. Participating
States/tribes must collect information
