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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
In 2013, the Secretary of the Interior
and the Secretary of Education
convened an American Indian
Education Study Group (Study Group)
to diagnose the systemic challenges
facing the BIE and to propose a
comprehensive plan for reform to
ensure all students attending BIEfunded schools receive a world-class
education. The Study Group drafted a
framework for reform based on several
listening sessions in the fall of 2013
with tribal leaders, Indian educators and
others throughout Indian Country on
how to facilitate tribal sovereignty in
American Indian education and how to
improve educational outcomes for
students at BIE-funded schools. Overall,
the Study Group met with nearly 400
individuals and received nearly 200
comments that helped it prepare the
draft framework for educational reform
that became the subject of four tribal
consultation sessions held in April and
May of 2014. These efforts resulted in
the Blueprint for Reform, which was
released by the Department of the
Interior (DOI) on June 13, 2014.
Acting on the recommendations in the
Blueprint for Reform, BIE will award
enhancement funds to tribes and their
tribal education agencies to promote
tribal control and operation of BIEfunded schools on their Indian
reservations. The purpose of these
enhancements is to support the tribes’
capacity to manage and operate tribally
controlled schools as defined in the
Tribally Controlled Schools Act of 1988
(Pub. L. 100–297). These funds will: (a)
Support the development of a schoolreform plan to improve educational
outcomes for students, and: (b) improve
efficiencies and effectiveness in the
operation of BIE-funded schools within
a reservation.
Enhancement funding is a two-year
program, and awards will range from
$100,000 to $200,000 per fiscal year.
The amounts are dependent on the
number of schools involved, number of
students, complexity of creating a new
tribally managed school system and the
tribe’s technical approach. Tribes with
at least one Bureau-funded school on or
near their reservation are eligible for
these funds. These enhancements will
provide funds for the tribe to:
• Develop an implementation plan
that will reform a tribe’s current
organizational structure toward an
expert and independent Tribal
Education Department that will support
schools and students;
• Cover the execution of the
implementation plan with identified
staffing, projected timelines, proposed
budgets, and activities; and
• Research an alternative definition of
adequate yearly progress (AYP) which is
optional for applicants.
BIE is seeking proposals from tribes
that support efforts to take control and
operate BIE-funded schools located on
the tribe’s reservation. Each proposal
must include a project narrative, a
budget narrative, a work plan outline,
and a Project Director to manage the
execution of the grant. Project Directors
will participate in monthly
collaboration meetings, submit quarterly
budget updates, ensure an annual report
is submitted at the end of each project
year, and ultimately ensure that the
tribal education department fulfills the
obligations of the grant. Complete
details on requirements for proposals
and the evaluation and selection process
can be found on the BIE Web site at the
address in the ADDRESSES section of this
notice. In addition, BIE will hold pregrant proposal training as noted below:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed action is the preparation of an
IRMP for the Nez Perce Reservation and
BIA approval of long-term natural and
cultural resource planning goals and
objectives for the Nez Perce Reservation.
The Tribe may use the Programmatic
EIS (PEIS) for tiered, project-specific
environmental assessments to cover
specific actions as the IRMP is
implemented. The Tribe has managed
its natural and cultural resources under
the goals and objectives of various
department-specific plans under the
direction of the Nez Perce Tribal
Executive Committee. The PEIS will
consider a proposed strategy in the
IRMP to provide a framework for all Nez
Perce Tribal agencies to manage natural
and cultural resources within the Nez
Perce Reservation.
It is anticipated that the PEIS will
assess four management strategy
alternatives and a No Action
Alternative. Under the Maximum
Resource Development Alternative, the
Tribe’s resource management strategy
would be to maximally promote human
land uses, growth, and the use of natural
and cultural resources to generate
revenue for the Tribe. Under the
Development Emphasis Alternative, the
Tribe’s resource management strategy
would be to emphasize human land use,
growth, and the use of natural and
cultural resources to generate revenue
for the Tribe, while ensuring a moderate
level of natural and cultural resource
conservation, protection, and
enhancement. Under the Conservation
Emphasis Alternative, the Tribe’s
resource management strategy would be
to emphasize natural and cultural
resource conservation, protection, and
enhancement, while ensuring a
moderate level of human land use,
growth, and the use of natural and
cultural resources to generate revenue
for the Tribe. Under the Maximum
Conservation Alternative, the Tribe’s
resource management strategy would be
to maximally promote natural and
cultural resource conservation,
protection, and enhancement. Under the
PO 00000
Frm 00075
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
76033
No Action Alternative, the existing
resource management strategies will be
assessed. Additional strategies or
alternatives or variations of those
proposed above may be developed as a
result of public scoping. Significant
issues to be covered during the scoping
process may include, but will not be
limited to, air quality, geology and soils,
surface and groundwater resources,
wildlife habitat, threatened and
endangered species, cultural resources,
socioeconomic conditions, land use,
aesthetics, and Indian trust resources.

Comments: Please include your name,
return address, and the caption
‘‘ ‘Programmatic EIS, Nez Perce
Reservation IRMP’ ’’ on the first page of
any written comments you submit. You
may also submit comments at the public
scoping meetings. The public scoping
meetings will be held to seek comments
from all parties concerning the use of
natural and cultural resources on the
Nez Perce Reservation, concerns
regarding impacts to those resources,
and preferred management strategies.
The meetings will be held at various
Nez Perce Reservation communities,
