Background
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits activities that constitute take
of listed species unless a Federal permit
is issued that allows such activity. The
ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes such
activities as pursuing, harassing,
trapping, capturing, or collecting in
addition to hunting, shooting, harming,
wounding, or killing.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered or threatened
species for scientific purposes that
promote recovery or for enhancement of
propagation or survival of the species.
These activities often include such
prohibited actions as capture and
collection. Our regulations
implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for
these permits are found in the Code of
Federal Regulations at 50 CFR 17.22 for
endangered wildlife species, 50 CFR
17.32 for threatened wildlife species, 50
CFR 17.62 for endangered plant species,
and 50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant
species.
Permit Application Available for
Review and Comment
Proposed activities in the following
permit requests are for the recovery and
enhancement of propagation or survival
of the species in the wild. The ESA
requires that we invite public comment
before issuing this permit. Accordingly,
we invite local, State, Tribal, and
Federal agencies and the public to
submit written data, views, or
arguments with respect to these
applications. The comments and
recommendations that will be most
useful and likely to influence agency
decisions are those supported by
quantitative information or studies.

Abstract: The regulations at 25 CFR

as added Pub. L. 107–110, title X,
§ 1042, Jan. 8, 2002, 115 Stat. 2007).
These regulations require the BIE to
implement national standards for homeliving situations in all BIE-funded
residential schools. The BIE must
collect information from all BIE-funded
residential schools in order to assess
each school’s progress in meeting the
national standards. Submission of this
information allows the BIE to ensure
that minimum academic standards for
the education of Indian children and
criteria for dormitory situations in
Bureau-operated schools and Indiancontrolled contract schools are met.
Title of Collection: Homeliving
Programs and School Closure and
Consolidation.
OMB Control Number: 1076–0164.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Indian
Tribes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: There are 65 schools with
residential programs, of which 13 are
Bureau-operated and 52 are Triballyoperated. Thus, the collection of
information must be cleared for 52 of
the 65 residential schools.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 730 per year, on average.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Ranges from 1 minute to 40
hours, depending on the activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1,344 hours.
