parts except as permitted under the
terms of a valid permit or as permitted
by regulations. In 2006, we issued
regulations establishing two
depredation orders and three control
orders that allow State and tribal
wildlife agencies, private landowners,
and airports to conduct resident Canada
goose population management,
including the take of birds. We monitor
the data collected for activities under
these orders and may rescind an order
if monitoring indicates that activities are
inconsistent with conservation of
Canada geese.
Control order for airports. Our
regulations at 50 CFR 21.49 allow
managers at commercial, public, and
private airports and military airfields
and their employees or agents to
implement management of resident
Canada geese to resolve or prevent
threats to public safety. An airport must
be part of the National Plan of Integrated
Airport Systems and have received
Federal grant-in-aid assistance or be a
military airfield under the jurisdiction,
custody, or control of the Secretary of a
military department. Each facility
exercising the privileges of the order
must submit an annual report with the
date, numbers, and locations of birds,
nests, and eggs taken.
Depredation order for nests and eggs.
Our regulations at 50 CFR 21.50 allow
private landowners and managers of
public lands to destroy resident Canada
goose nests and eggs on property under
their jurisdiction, provided they register
annually on our Web site at https://
epermits.fws.gov/eRCGR. Registrants
must provide basic information, such as
name, address, phone number, and
email, and identify where the control
work will occur and who will conduct
it. Registrants must return to the Web
site to report the number of nests with
eggs they destroyed.
Depredation order for agricultural
facilities. Our regulations at 50 CFR
21.51 allow States and tribes, via their
wildlife agencies, to implement
programs to allow landowners,
operators, and tenants actively engaged
in commercial agriculture to conduct
damage management control when
geese are committing depredations, or to
resolve or prevent other injury to
agricultural interests. State and tribal
wildlife agencies in the Atlantic,
Central, and Mississippi Flyway
portions of 41 States may implement the
provisions of the order. Each
implementing agricultural producer
must maintain a log of the date and
number of birds taken under this
authorization. Each State and tribe
exercising the privileges of the order
must submit an annual report of the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:36 Dec 04, 2015
Jkt 238001
numbers of birds, nests, and eggs taken,
and the county or counties where take
occurred.
Public health control order. Our
regulations at 50 CFR 21.52 authorize
States and tribes of the lower 48 States
to conduct (via the State or tribal
wildlife agency) resident Canada goose
control and management activities when
the geese pose a direct threat to human
health. States and tribes operating under
this order must submit an annual report
summarizing activities, including the
numbers of birds taken and the county
where take occurred.
Population control. Our regulations at
50 CFR 21.61 establish a managed take
program to reduce and stabilize resident
Canada goose populations when
traditional and otherwise authorized
management measures are not
successful or feasible. A State or tribal
wildlife agency in the Atlantic,
Mississippi, or Central Flyway may
request approval for this population
control program. If approved, the State
or tribe may use hunters to harvest
resident Canada geese during the month
of August. Requests for approval must
include a discussion of the State’s or
tribe’s efforts to address its injurious
situations using other methods, or a
discussion of the reasons why the
methods are not feasible. If the Service
Director approves a request, the State or
tribe must (1) keep annual records of
activities carried out under the authority
of the program, and (2) provide an
annual summary, including number of
individuals participating in the program
and the number of resident Canada
geese shot. Additionally, participating
States and tribes must monitor the
spring breeding population by providing
an annual estimate of the breeding
population and distribution of resident
Canada geese in their State.
Our regulations at 50 CFR 21.49,
21.50, 21.51, and 21.52 require that
persons or entities operating under the
depredation and control orders must
immediately report the take of any
species protected under the Endangered
Species Act (ESA). This information
ensures that the incidental take limits
authorized under section 7 of the ESA
are not exceeded.
Comments Received and Our Responses
On August 18, 2015, we published in
the Federal Register (80 FR 50021) 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
October 19, 2015. We received one
comment. The commenter objected to
the taking of Canada geese, but did not
address the information collection

Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty Act prohibits the take,
possession, import, export, transport, sale, purchase, or bartering of
migratory birds or their
[[Page 76031]]
parts except as permitted under the terms of a valid permit or as
permitted by regulations. In 2006, we issued regulations establishing
two depredation orders and three control orders that allow State and
tribal wildlife agencies, private landowners, and airports to conduct
resident Canada goose population management, including the take of
birds. We monitor the data collected for activities under these orders
and may rescind an order if monitoring indicates that activities are
inconsistent with conservation of Canada geese.
Control order for airports. Our regulations at 50 CFR 21.49 allow
managers at commercial, public, and private airports and military
airfields and their employees or agents to implement management of
resident Canada geese to resolve or prevent threats to public safety.
An airport must be part of the National Plan of Integrated Airport
Systems and have received Federal grant-in-aid assistance or be a
military airfield under the jurisdiction, custody, or control of the
Secretary of a military department. Each facility exercising the
privileges of the order must submit an annual report with the date,
numbers, and locations of birds, nests, and eggs taken.
Depredation order for nests and eggs. Our regulations at 50 CFR
21.50 allow private landowners and managers of public lands to destroy
resident Canada goose nests and eggs on property under their
jurisdiction, provided they register annually on our Web site at
https://epermits.fws.gov/eRCGR. Registrants must provide basic
information, such as name, address, phone number, and email, and
identify where the control work will occur and who will conduct it.
Registrants must return to the Web site to report the number of nests
with eggs they destroyed.
Depredation order for agricultural facilities. Our regulations at
50 CFR 21.51 allow States and tribes, via their wildlife agencies, to
implement programs to allow landowners, operators, and tenants actively
engaged in commercial agriculture to conduct damage management control
when geese are committing depredations, or to resolve or prevent other
injury to agricultural interests. State and tribal wildlife agencies in
the Atlantic, Central, and Mississippi Flyway portions of 41 States may
implement the provisions of the order. Each implementing agricultural
producer must maintain a log of the date and number of birds taken
under this authorization. Each State and tribe exercising the
privileges of the order must submit an annual report of the numbers of
birds, nests, and eggs taken, and the county or counties where take
occurred.
Public health control order. Our regulations at 50 CFR 21.52
authorize States and tribes of the lower 48 States to conduct (via the
State or tribal wildlife agency) resident Canada goose control and
management activities when the geese pose a direct threat to human
health. States and tribes operating under this order must submit an
annual report summarizing activities, including the numbers of birds
taken and the county where take occurred.
Population control. Our regulations at 50 CFR 21.61 establish a
managed take program to reduce and stabilize resident Canada goose
populations when traditional and otherwise authorized management
measures are not successful or feasible. A State or tribal wildlife
agency in the Atlantic, Mississippi, or Central Flyway may request
approval for this population control program. If approved, the State or
tribe may use hunters to harvest resident Canada geese during the month
of August. Requests for approval must include a discussion of the
State's or tribe's efforts to address its injurious situations using
other methods, or a discussion of the reasons why the methods are not
feasible. If the Service Director approves a request, the State or
tribe must (1) keep annual records of activities carried out under the
authority of the program, and (2) provide an annual summary, including
number of individuals participating in the program and the number of
resident Canada geese shot. Additionally, participating States and
tribes must monitor the spring breeding population by providing an
annual estimate of the breeding population and distribution of resident
Canada geese in their State.
Our regulations at 50 CFR 21.49, 21.50, 21.51, and 21.52 require
that persons or entities operating under the depredation and control
orders must immediately report the take of any species protected under
the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This information ensures that the
