and purposes of such uses was
published in that Notice.

The OCS Scientific Committee
provides advice on the feasibility,
appropriateness, and scientific value of
the OCS Environmental Studies
Program to the Secretary of the Interior
through the Director of the Minerals
Management Service. The Committee
reviews the relevance of the research
and data being produced to meet MMS
scientific information needs for
decisionmaking and may recommend
changes in scope, direction, and
emphasis.

V. Period of the Match
The computer matching program will
be conducted according to agreements
between HUD and HHS. The computer
matching agreement for the planned
match will terminate either when the
purpose of the computer matching
program is accomplished, or 18 months
from the date the agreement is signed,
whichever comes first. The agreements
may be extended for one 12-month
period, with the mutual agreement of all
involved parties, if the following
conditions are met:
(1) Within three months of the
expiration date, all Data Integrity Boards
(DIBs) review the agreement, find that
the program will be conducted without
change, and find a continued favorable
examination of benefit/cost results; and
(2) All parties certify that the program
has been conducted in compliance with
the agreement.
The agreement may be terminated,
prior to accomplishment of the
computer matching purpose or 18
months from the date the agreement is
signed (whichever comes first), by the
mutual agreement of all involved parties
within 30 days of written notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This IC implements the requirements
of the Endangered Species Act (16
U.S.C. 1539). There are no
corresponding Service regulations for
the ESA’s post-delisting monitoring
requirement. This IC also implements
the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C.
704) contained in Service regulations in
Chapter I, Subchapter B of Title 50 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
The American peregrine falcon was
removed from the List of Endangered
and Threatened Wildlife on August 25,
1999. Section 4(g) of the Endangered
Species Act (ESA) requires that all
species that are recovered and removed
from the List of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife (delisted) be
monitored in cooperation with the
States for a period of not less than 5
years. The purpose of this requirement
is to detect any failure of a recovered
species to sustain itself without the
protections of the ESA. We work with
relevant State agencies and other
species experts to develop appropriate
plans and procedures for systematically
monitoring recovered wildlife and
plants.
The American peregrine falcon has a
large geographic distribution that
includes a substantial amount of nonFederal land. Although the ESA requires
that monitoring of recovered species be
conducted for not less than 5 years, the
life history of American peregrine
falcons is such that it is appropriate to
monitor this species for a longer period
of time in order to meaningfully
evaluate whether or not the recovered
species continues to maintain its
recovered status. The Monitoring Plan
for the American Peregrine Falcon is
available on our website at http://
www.fws.gov/endangered/pdfs/
peregrin/Peregrineplan2003.pdf .
Formal collection of monitoring data
commenced in 2003. Rangewide
population monitoring of American
peregrine falcons under the Monitoring
Plan will take place every 3 years
through 2015.
We will use the information supplied
on the FWS Forms 3–2307, 3–2308, and
3–2309 to review the status of the
American peregrine falcon in the United
States and determine if it remains

recovered and, therefore, does not
require the protections of the ESA:
(1) FWS Form 3–2307 (Peregrine
Falcon Monitoring Form) addresses the
reporting requirements to record
observations on the nesting pair, and the
numbers of eggs and young during each
nest visit. Each nest will be visited two
(or more) times.
(2) FWS Form 3–2308 (Peregrine
Falcon Egg Contaminants Data Sheet)
addresses the reporting requirements to
record data on eggs collected
opportunistically during a nest visit.

(3) FWS Form 3–2309 (Peregrine
Falcon Feather Contaminants Data
Sheet) addresses the reporting
requirements to record data on feathers
collected opportunistically during a nest
visit. Once collected, the eggs and
feathers will be archived in a deep
freeze for analysis at a later time.

Availability of Documents
You may obtain copies of the
documents for review by contacting the
individual named above. You may also

documents at the above address during

Background
Under a Safe Harbor Agreement,
participating landowners voluntarily
undertake management activities on
their property to enhance, restore, or
maintain habitat benefiting species
listed under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.). Safe Harbor Agreements, and the
subsequent enhancement of survival
permits that are issued pursuant to
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Act, encourage
private and other non-Federal property
owners to implement conservation
efforts for listed species by assuring
property owners that they will not be
subjected to increased property use
restrictions as a result of their efforts to
attract listed species to their property, or
to increase the numbers or distribution
of listed species already on their
property. Application requirements and
issuance criteria for enhancement of
survival permits through Safe Harbor
Agreements are found in 50 CFR
17.22(c).
The Service has worked with the
Applicant to develop the proposed
Agreement for the conservation of the
bay checkerspot butterfly, the Metcalf
