Abstract This information collection is associated with regulations implementing the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.). 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 regulations implementing the MBTA. The regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 21.47 (Aquaculture Depredation Order) authorize aquaculture producers and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (APHISWildlife Services) in 13 States to take double-crested cormorants when the birds are found committing or about to Number of respondents Activity commit depredations on commercial freshwater aquaculture stocks. The regulations at 50 CFR 21.48 (Public Resource Depredation Order) authorize State fish and wildlife agencies, APHISWildlife Services, and federally recognized tribes in 24 States to take double-crested cormorants to prevent depredations on the public resources of fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats. Both 50 CFR 21.47 and 21.48 impose reporting and recordkeeping requirements on those operating under the depredation orders. We use the information collected to: • Help assess the impact of the depredation orders on double-crested cormorant populations. • Protect nontarget migratory birds or other species. • Ensure that agencies and individuals are operating in accordance with the terms, conditions, and purpose of the orders. • Help gauge the effectiveness of the orders at mitigating cormorant-related damages.

36 CFR 242 require that persons engaged in taking fish, shellfish, and 
wildlife on public lands in Alaska for subsistence uses must apply for

provisions of that permit. We use the following forms to collect 
information from qualified rural residents for subsistence harvest:
    (1) FWS Form 3-2326 (Federal Subsistence Hunt Application, Permit, 
and Report).
    (2) FWS Form 3-2327 (Designated Hunter Permit Application, Permit, 
and Report).
    (3) FWS Form 3-2328 (Federal Subsistence Fishing Application, 
Permit, and Report).
    (4) FWS Form 3-2378 (Designated Fishing Permit Application, Permit, 
and Report).
    (5) FWS Form 3-2379 (Federal Subsistence Customary Trade 
Recordkeeping Form).
    We use the information collected to evaluate:
     Eligibility of applicant.
     Subsistence harvest success.
     Effectiveness of season lengths, harvest quotas, and 
harvest restrictions.
     Hunting patterns and practices.
     Hunter use.
    The Federal Subsistence Board uses the harvest data, along with 
other information, to set future season dates and bag limits for 
Federal subsistence resource users. These seasons and bag limits are 
set to meet the needs of subsistence hunters without adversely 
impacting the health of existing animal populations.
    Also included in this IC are three forms associated with 
recruitment and selection of members for regional advisory councils.

Membership Application/Nomination).

Interview).
    The member selection process begins with the information that we 
collect on the application. Ten interagency review panels interview all 
applicants and nominees, their references, and regional key contacts. 
These contacts are all based on the information that the applicant 
provides on the application form. The information that we collect 
through the application form and subsequent interviews is the basis of 
the Federal Subsistence Board's recommendations to the Secretaries of 
the Interior and Agriculture for appointment and reappointment of
