delisting of that distinct population
segment would be warranted.
For the Coastal, Mid-Columbia, and
Upper Snake Recovery Units, the
recovery criteria provide that primary
threats must be managed effectively in
at least 75 percent of all core areas,
representing 75 percent or more of bull
trout local populations within each of
these three recovery units. For the
Columbia Headwaters Recovery Unit,
the recovery criteria provide that
primary threats must be managed
effectively in at least 75 percent of
complex core areas and at least 75
percent of simple core areas,
representing 75 percent or more of bull
trout local populations within the
recovery unit. For the Klamath and St.
Mary Recovery Units, the recovery
criteria provide that all primary threats
must be managed effectively in all
existing core areas, representing all
existing local populations. In addition,
because 9 of the 17 known local
populations in the Klamath Recovery
Unit have been extirpated and others are
significantly imperiled and require
active management, we believe that the
geographic distribution of bull trout
within this recovery unit needs to be
substantially expanded before it can be
considered to have met recovery goals.
To achieve recovery, we seek to add
seven additional local populations
distributed among the three core areas
(two in the Upper Klamath Lake core
area, three in the Sycan core area, and
two in the Upper Sprague core area). In
recovery units where shared foraging/
migratory/overwintering (FMO) habitat
outside core areas has been identified,
connectivity and habitat in these shared
FMO areas should be maintained in a
condition sufficient for regular bull
trout use and successful dispersal
among the connecting core areas for
those core areas to meet the criterion.
If threats are effectively managed at
these thresholds, we expect that bull
trout populations will respond
accordingly and reflect the biodiversity
principles of resiliency, redundancy,
and representation. Specifically,
achieving the recovery criteria in each
recovery unit would result in
geographically widespread and
demographically stable local bull trout
populations within the range of natural
variation, with their essential cold water
habitats connected to allow their diverse
life history forms to persist into the
foreseeable future; therefore, the species
would be brought to the point where the
protections of the Act are no longer
necessary.

Proposed Information Collection;
Depredation Orders for DoubleCrested Cormorants
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
We (U.S. Fish and Wildlife
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 February
29, 2016. We 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.
SUMMARY:
I. 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
(APHIS—Wildlife Services) in 13 States
to take double-crested cormorants when
the birds are found committing or about
to commit depredations on commercial
freshwater aquaculture stocks. The
regulations at 50 CFR 21.48 (Public
Number of
respondents
Activity
Resource Depredation Order) authorize
State fish and wildlife agencies,
APHIS—Wildlife 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.
