Download as PDF 2369 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 9 / Friday, January 13, 2023 / Notices available at the time of the review; therefore, we are requesting submission of any such information that has become available since the last review for the species. Why do we conduct 5-year reviews? Under the ESA, we maintain Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (which we collectively refer to as the List) in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12 (for plants). Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA requires us to review each listed species’ status at least once every 5 years. Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing those species under active review. For additional information lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Common name Scientific name about 5-year reviews, go to https:// www.fws.gov/project/five-year-statusreviews. What information do we consider in our review? A 5-year review considers the best scientific and commercial data that have become available since the current listing determination or most recent status review of each species, such as: (A) Species biology, including but not limited to population trends, distribution, abundance, demographics, and genetics; (B) Habitat conditions, including but not limited to amount, distribution, and suitability; (C) Conservation measures that have been implemented that benefit the species; Taxonomic group Listing status Where listed Final listing rule (Federal Register citation and publication date) Copperbelly water snake.

Abstract: The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act; 16 U.S.C. 668–668d) prohibits take of bald eagles and golden eagles except pursuant to Federal regulations. The Eagle Act regulations at title 50, part 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) define the ‘‘take’’ of an eagle to include the following broad range of actions: To ‘‘pursue, shoot, shoot at, poison, wound, kill, capture, trap, collect, destroy, molest, or disturb.’’ The Eagle Act allows the Secretary of the Interior to authorize certain otherwise prohibited activities through regulations. All Service permit applications associated with eagles are in the 3–200 and 3–202 series of forms, each tailored to a specific activity based on the requirements for specific types of permits. We collect standard identifier information for all permits. The information that we collect on applications and reports is the minimum necessary for us to determine if the applicant meets/continues to meet issuance requirements for the particular activity. The Service proposes to renew this information collection, without change, in order to extend the expiration date for the collection (currently July 31, 2023) while the Service continues to finalize our rulemaking under RIN 1018–BG70, Permits for Incidental Take of Eagles and Eagle Nests. On September 30, 2022, we published the proposed rule (87 FR 59598) to revise the regulations authorizing the issuance of permits for eagle incidental take and eagle nest take to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of permitting, facilitate and improve compliance, and increase the conservation benefit for eagles. The comment period for the PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 proposed rule ended on November 29, 2022. On November 28, 2022, we extended the proposed rule’s comment period to December 29, 2022 (87 FR 72957). In addition to continuing to authorize specific permits, the proposed rule, if finalized as written, would create general permits for certain activities under prescribed conditions (qualifying wind-energy generation projects, power line infrastructure, activities that may disturb breeding bald eagles, and bald eagle nest take). It also would remove the current third-party monitoring requirement for eagle incidental take permits, update current permit fees, and clarify definitions. We anticipate publication of the final rule under RIN 1018–BD70 in late 2023 or early 2024. The public may request copies of any form contained in this information collection by sending a request to the Service Information Collection Clearance Officer (see ADDRESSES).

Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and businesses.

    The Service proposes to renew this information collection, without

(currently July 31, 2023) while the Service continues to finalize our

(87 FR 59598) to revise the regulations authorizing the issuance of

efficiency and effectiveness of permitting, facilitate and improve 
compliance, and increase the conservation benefit for eagles. The
