Abstract: The African Growth and
Opportunity Act (AGOA) was adopted
by the United States with the enactment
of the Trade and Development Act of
2000 (Pub. L. 106–200). The objectives
of AGOA are (1) to provide for extension
of duty-free treatment under the
Generalized System of Preferences
(GSP) to import sensitive articles
normally excluded from GSP duty
treatment, and (2) to provide for the
entry of specific textile and apparel
articles free of duty and free of any
quantitative limits from the countries of
sub-Saharan Africa.
For preferential treatment under
AGOA, the exporter is required to
prepare a certificate of origin and
provide it to the importer. The
certificate of origin includes information
such as contact information for the
importer, exporter and producer; the
basis for which preferential treatment is
claimed; and a description of the
imported merchandise. The importers
are required to have the certificate in
their possession at the time of the claim,
and to provide it to CBP upon request.
The collection of this information is
provided for in 19 CFR 10.214, 10.215,
and 10.216.
Instructions for complying with this
regulation are posted on CBP.gov

Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty
Act of 1918 (16 U.S.C. 703–712) and the
Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C.
742d) designate the Department of the
Interior as the key agency responsible
for managing migratory bird populations
that frequent the United States and for
setting harvest regulations that allow for
the conservation of those populations.
These responsibilities include gathering
data on various aspects of migratory
bird harvest. We use harvest data to
review regulation proposals and to issue
harvest regulations.
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act
Protocol Amendment (1995)
(Amendment) provides for the
customary and traditional use of
migratory birds and their eggs for
subsistence use by indigenous
inhabitants of Alaska. The Amendment
states that its intent is not to cause
significant increases in the take of
species of migratory birds relative to
their continental population sizes. A
submittal letter from the Department of
State to the White House (May 20, 1996)
accompanied the Amendment and
specified the need for harvest
monitoring. The submittal letter stated
that the Service, the Alaska Department
of Fish and Game (ADF&G), and Alaska
Native organizations would collect
harvest information cooperatively
E:\FR\FM\13JNN1.SGM
13JNN1
27646
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 114 / Thursday, June 13, 2019 / Notices
within the subsistence eligible areas.
Harvest data help to ensure that
customary and traditional subsistence
uses of migratory birds and their eggs by
indigenous inhabitants of Alaska do not
significantly increase the take of species
of migratory birds relative to their
continental population sizes.
We monitored subsistence harvest of
migratory birds using household
surveys in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta
region in 1985–2002 and in the Bristol
Bay region in 1995–2002. Since 2004,
the Alaska Migratory Bird CoManagement Council—Harvest
Assessment Program (AMBCC–HAP)
conducts regular surveys across Alaska
to document the subsistence harvest of
birds and their eggs. The statewide
harvest assessment program helps to
describe geographical and seasonal
harvest patterns, and to track trends in
harvest levels. The program relies on
collaboration among the Service, the
ADF&G, and diverse Alaska Native
organizations.
We collect harvest data for about 60
bird species/categories and their eggs
(ducks, geese, swans, cranes, seabirds,
shorebirds, grebes and loons, and grouse
and ptarmigan) in the subsistence
eligible areas of Alaska. The survey
covers spring, summer, and fall harvest
in most regions.
In collaboration with Alaska Native
organizations, we hire local resident
surveyors to collect the harvest data.
The surveyors list all households in the
communities, randomly select
households to be surveyed, and
interview households that have agreed
to participate. To ensure anonymity of
harvest information, we identify each
household by a numeric code. Since the
beginning of the survey in 2004, twice
we have re-evaluated and revised survey
methods to streamline procedures and
minimize respondent burden. We use
the following forms for household
participation:
• FWS Form 3–2380 (Tracking Sheet
and Household Consent). The surveyor
visits each household selected to
participate in the survey to obtain
household consent to participate. The
surveyor uses this form to record
household consent.
• FWS Forms 3–2381–1, 3–2381–2,
3–2381–3, 3–2381–4, and 3–2381–5
(Harvest Report). The Harvest Report
has drawings of bird species most
commonly available for harvest in
different regions of Alaska, with fields
for recording numbers of birds and eggs
taken. The forms have up to four sheets,
one for each surveyed season. The
Western and Interior forms (3–2381–1
and 3–2381–3) have three sheets
(spring, summer, and fall). We now use
the Southern Coastal form 3–2381–2
only in the Bristol Bay region, and thus
we renamed the form the Bristol Bay
form. The North Slope form (3–2381–4)
has two sheets (spring and summer).
The new Cordova form (3–2381–5) has
only one sheet (spring). Each seasonal
sheet has black and white drawings of
bird species, next to which are fields to
record the number of birds and eggs
harvested. Because bird species
available for harvest vary in different
regions of Alaska, there are five versions
of the harvest report form, each with a
different set of species. This helps to
prevent users from erroneously
recording bird species as harvested in
areas where they do not usually occur.
Following the most recent reevaluation of survey methods, the
sampling design was revised to include
only 5 of 12 management regions as an
index to the statewide harvest, these 5
regions representing about 90 percent of
the statewide subsistence bird harvest.

We modified the survey to make the
effort compatible with available
funding. We also adjusted the number of
communities and households to be
surveyed each year based on statistical
methods to maximize accuracy of
harvest estimates given the survey
funding. We also reduced the number of
household visits from seasonal (three
times per year) to annual (once a year).
These modifications much reduced the
estimated survey burden.
To fulfill priority information needs,
we added the following question to the
survey: ‘‘In the last 12 months, how
many permanent members of this
household tried to harvest: Birds (ll)
and eggs (ll).’’ A similar question is
often included in harvest surveys
conducted in Alaska for resources such
as fish, marine mammals, and terrestrial
mammals. We need such information to
estimate and document participation in
harvesting activities and to answer a
basic and recurrent question in harvest
management: ‘‘How many people use
this resource.’’ Adding this simple
question does not change the average
time needed to complete the survey.

Abstract: ‘‘Payments in Lieu of Taxes’’
(PILT) are Federal payments to local
governments that help offset losses in
property taxes due to non-taxable
Federal lands within their boundaries.
The original law is Public Law 94–565,
dated October 20, 1976. This law was
rewritten and amended by Public Law
97–258 on September 13, 1982 and
codified at Chapter 69, Title 31 of the
United States Code. The law recognizes
the financial impact of the inability of
local governments to collect property
taxes on Federally-owned land.
The PILT Act requires the Governor of
each State to furnish the Department of
the Interior with a listing of payments
disbursed to local governments by the
States on behalf of the Federal
Government under 12 statutes described
in Section 6903 of 31 U.S.C. The
Department of the Interior uses the
PO 00000

amounts reported by States to reduce
PILT payments to units of general local
governments from that which they
might otherwise receive. If such listings
were not furnished by the Governor of
each affected State, the Department
would not be able to compute the PILT
payments to units of general local
government within the States in
question.
In fiscal year 2004, administrative
authority for the PILT program was
transferred from the Bureau of Land
Management to the Office of the
Secretary of the Department of the
Interior. Applicable DOI regulations
pertaining to the PILT program to be
administered by the Office of the
Secretary were published as a final rule
in the Federal Register on December 7,
2004 (69 FR 70557). The Office of the
Secretary, Office of Budget, is now
planning to extend the information
collection approval authority in order to
enable the Department of the Interior to
continue to comply with the PILT Act.

Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (16 U.S.C. 703-712)
and the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742d) designate the
Department of the Interior as the key agency responsible for managing
migratory bird populations that frequent the United States and for
setting harvest regulations that allow for the conservation of those
populations. These responsibilities include gathering data on various
aspects of migratory bird harvest. We use harvest data to review
regulation proposals and to issue harvest regulations.
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act Protocol Amendment (1995) (Amendment)
provides for the customary and traditional use of migratory birds and
their eggs for subsistence use by indigenous inhabitants of Alaska. The
Amendment states that its intent is not to cause significant increases
in the take of species of migratory birds relative to their continental
population sizes. A submittal letter from the Department of State to
the White House (May 20, 1996) accompanied the Amendment and specified
the need for harvest monitoring. The submittal letter stated that the
Service, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), and Alaska
Native organizations would collect harvest information cooperatively
[[Page 27646]]
within the subsistence eligible areas. Harvest data help to ensure that
customary and traditional subsistence uses of migratory birds and their
eggs by indigenous inhabitants of Alaska do not significantly increase
the take of species of migratory birds relative to their continental
population sizes.
We monitored subsistence harvest of migratory birds using household
surveys in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region in 1985-2002 and in the
Bristol Bay region in 1995-2002. Since 2004, the Alaska Migratory Bird
Co-Management Council--Harvest Assessment Program (AMBCC-HAP) conducts
regular surveys across Alaska to document the subsistence harvest of
birds and their eggs. The statewide harvest assessment program helps to
describe geographical and seasonal harvest patterns, and to track
trends in harvest levels. The program relies on collaboration among the
Service, the ADF&G, and diverse Alaska Native organizations.
We collect harvest data for about 60 bird species/categories and
their eggs (ducks, geese, swans, cranes, seabirds, shorebirds, grebes
and loons, and grouse and ptarmigan) in the subsistence eligible areas
of Alaska. The survey covers spring, summer, and fall harvest in most
regions.
In collaboration with Alaska Native organizations, we hire local
resident surveyors to collect the harvest data. The surveyors list all
households in the communities, randomly select households to be
surveyed, and interview households that have agreed to participate. To
ensure anonymity of harvest information, we identify each household by
a numeric code. Since the beginning of the survey in 2004, twice we
have re-evaluated and revised survey methods to streamline procedures
and minimize respondent burden. We use the following forms for
household participation:
FWS Form 3-2380 (Tracking Sheet and Household Consent).
The surveyor visits each household selected to participate in the
survey to obtain household consent to participate. The surveyor uses
this form to record household consent.
FWS Forms 3-2381-1, 3-2381-2, 3-2381-3, 3-2381-4, and 3-
2381-5 (Harvest Report). The Harvest Report has drawings of bird
species most commonly available for harvest in different regions of
Alaska, with fields for recording numbers of birds and eggs taken. The
forms have up to four sheets, one for each surveyed season. The Western
and Interior forms (3-2381-1 and 3-2381-3) have three sheets (spring,
summer, and fall). We now use the Southern Coastal form 3-2381-2 only
in the Bristol Bay region, and thus we renamed the form the Bristol Bay
form. The North Slope form (3-2381-4) has two sheets (spring and
summer). The new Cordova form (3-2381-5) has only one sheet (spring).
Each seasonal sheet has black and white drawings of bird species, next
to which are fields to record the number of birds and eggs harvested.
Because bird species available for harvest vary in different regions of
Alaska, there are five versions of the harvest report form, each with a
different set of species. This helps to prevent users from erroneously
recording bird species as harvested in areas where they do not usually
occur.
Following the most recent re-evaluation of survey methods, the
sampling design was revised to include only 5 of 12 management regions
as an index to the statewide harvest, these 5 regions representing
about 90 percent of the statewide subsistence bird harvest. We modified
the survey to make the effort compatible with available funding. We
also adjusted the number of communities and households to be surveyed
each year based on statistical methods to maximize accuracy of harvest
estimates given the survey funding. We also reduced the number of
household visits from seasonal (three times per year) to annual (once a
year). These modifications much reduced the estimated survey burden.
To fulfill priority information needs, we added the following
question to the survey: ``In the last 12 months, how many permanent
members of this household tried to harvest: Birds (__) and eggs (__).''
A similar question is often included in harvest surveys conducted in
Alaska for resources such as fish, marine mammals, and terrestrial
mammals. We need such information to estimate and document
