We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (FWS), revise the two
depredation orders for double-crested
cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus,
DCCOs). We extend the expiration dates
for the orders for 5 years to allow State
and Tribal resource management
agencies to continue to manage DCCO
problems and gather data on the effects
of DCCO control actions. We have
prepared a final environmental
assessment (FEA) to analyze the
environmental impacts associated with
this extension. We change the annual
reporting date for the depredation order
to protect public resources, remove
requirements for DCCO control
activities around bald eagles and bald
eagle nests for both orders, and require
use of the National Bald Eagle
Management Guidelines for both orders.
We also add a requirement for the use
of nontoxic rifle bullets for anyone
using centerfire rifles to control DCCOs
under the orders, beginning on January
1, 2017.
DATES: This rule will be effective on
June 27, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Document availability: The
FEA and public comments that we
received on the proposed rule are
available at https://www.regulations.gov
under Docket No. FWS–HQ–MB–2013–
0135, and on our Service Web site at
https://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
Under the authority of the Migratory
Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) (16 U.S.C. 703
et seq.), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service has primary Federal
responsibility for managing migratory
birds. We carry out this responsibility
through regulations in title 50 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Part
of this process includes issuing permits
for certain actions dealing with
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
migratory birds. In part 21 of title 50 of
the CFR, we have established
depredation orders for the control of
certain depredating birds. A
depredation order is a regulation that
allows the take of specific species of
migratory birds, at specific locations,
and for specific purposes, without a
depredation permit.
The Aquaculture Depredation Order
at 50 CFR 21.47 allows take of doublecrested cormorants (DCCOs) to protect
stock at aquaculture facilities, and the
Public Resource Depredation Order at
50 CFR 21.48 allows take of DCCOs to
protect public resources, as set forth in
the regulations. On March 5, 2014, we
published a proposed rule to revise
these depredation orders by, among
other things, extending the expiration
dates of the orders by 5 years (79 FR
12458). See the proposed rule for an
explanation of the proposed changes.
Expiration Dates
We extend the regulations until June
30, 2019. Doing so will not pose a
significant, detrimental effect on the
long-term viability of DCCO
populations. It will allow State and
Tribal resource management agencies to
continue to manage DCCO problems
related to impacts on public resources
and allow aquaculture producers to
address DCCO depredation impacts on
aquaculture stock under the terms and
conditions of the depredation orders
and gather data on the effects of DCCO
control actions.
Entities acting under the depredation
orders must follow applicable
regulations. Depredation control efforts
under the orders may take place only
where cormorants are found committing
or about to commit depredations under
specified conditions, 50 CFR 21.47(c)(1)
and 21.48(c)(1). The regulations include
a requirement to initially use nonlethal
control methods where practicable and
effective and not harmful to other
nesting birds, 50 CFR 21.47(d)(1) and
21.48(d)(1); provide notice to FWS
indicating their intent to act under the
depredation order, 50 CFR 21.48(d)(9);
and notify the FWS in writing 30 days
in advance if any single control action
would individually, or a succession of
such actions would cumulatively, kill
more than 10 percent of the DCCOs in
a breeding colony, 50 CFR 21.48(d)(9)(i).
We can prohibit cormorant take under
the depredation orders if we deem it a
threat to the long-term sustainability of
DCCOs or any other migratory bird
species, 50 CFR 21.48(d)(9)(ii).
Similarly, we can suspend or revoke the
authority of any person or agency acting
pursuant to the depredation orders who
does not adhere to the orders’ purposes,
