SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on July 3,
2017 (82 FR 30883). The following
comments were received:
Comment 1: The Central Flyway
Council commented that a single survey
conducted by Service is the most
appropriate and accurate method for
annually monitoring the participation
and harvest in the light goose
conservation order. This approach has
been used by the Service since 1960 to
monitor waterfowl harvest nationally for
regular hunting seasons.
Agency Response to Comment 1: With
regard to the Central Flyway proposal to
implement a single, uniform survey
conducted by the Service, during
discussions with Flyway Councils
SUMMARY:
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
60615
regarding initiation of the conservation
order in the late 1990s there were
concerns about whether or not a
national information collection should
be developed for the conservation order.
That approach was not pursued due to
the need to develop a new Federal
permit, which we continue to believe is
not a feasible alternative at this time. It
was decided that each State would
conduct its own information collection.
Although State harvest estimates may
not be fully comparable due to
differences in methodology, we believe
that summation of such estimates is
warranted for general monitoring
purposes. Furthermore, our existing
Harvest Information Program (HIP) is
geared towards estimating harvest of
birds during regular hunting seasons
that end on or before March 10 each
year. Many States hold their light goose
conservation order (not a regular
hunting season) after March 10.
Therefore, if HIP was used to estimate
light goose conservation order harvest,
our annual HIP reports would be
delayed and could affect the normal
hunting regulations promulgation
process. The Service can only require
HIP registration for regular hunting
seasons to develop a sampling frame.
There is no current mechanism for the
Service to require HIP registration for
conservation order participants.
Therefore, there no sampling frame
exists from which to conduct a single,
uniform Federal survey.
Comment 2: The commenter feels the
Service has lied about increasing
populations of light geese, promotes the
killing of birds to increase hunting
license sales, and only considers input
from hunters and farmers.
Agency Response to Comment 2: Our
long-term objectives continue to include
providing opportunities to harvest
portions of certain migratory game bird
populations and to limit harvests to
levels compatible with each
population’s ability to maintain healthy,
viable numbers. Having taken into
account the zones of temperature and
the distribution, abundance, economic
value, breeding habits, and times and
lines of flight of migratory birds, we
conclude that the hunting seasons are
compatible with the current status of
migratory bird populations and longterm population goals. With regard to
the light goose conservation order, we
documented the exponential growth of
light goose populations when we
authorized the conservation order (64
FR 7517 and 73 FR 65926). In those
Federal Register notices, we also
documented degradation to breeding
habitats as a result of feeding actions of
overabundant light goose populations.
