G. Eligible U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS) Programs
The mission of the USGS is to collect,
analyze, and provide information on
biology, geology, hydrology, and
geography that contributes to the wise
management of the Nation’s natural
resources and to the health, safety, and
well-being of the American people. This
information is usually publicly available
and includes maps, data bases, and
descriptions and analyses of the water,
plants, animals, energy, and mineral
resources, land surface, underlying
geologic structure, and dynamic
processes of the earth. The USGS does
not manage lands or resources. Selfgovernance tribes may potentially assist
the USGS in the data acquisition and
analysis components of its activities.
For questions regarding selfgovernance, contact the Associate
Director for Human Capital, U.S.
Geological Survey, 12201 Sunrise Valley
Drive, Reston, VA 20192, telephone
703–648–7442, fax 703–648–7451.

H. Eligible Office of the Special Trustee
for American Indians (OST) Programs
The Department of the Interior has
responsibility for what may be the
largest land trust in the world,
approximately 56 million acres. OST
oversees the management of Indian trust
assets, including income generated from
leasing and other commercial activities
on Indian trust lands, by maintaining,
investing and disbursing Indian trust
financial assets, and reporting on these
transactions. The mission of the OST is
to serve Indian communities by
fulfilling Indian fiduciary trust
responsibilities. This is to be
accomplished through the
implementation of a Comprehensive
Trust Management Plan (CTM) that is
designed to improve trust beneficiary
services, ownership information,
management of trust fund assets, and
self-governance activities.
A tribe operating under selfgovernance may include the following
programs, services, functions, and
activities or portions thereof in a
funding agreement:

1. Beneficiary Processes Program
(Individual Indian Money Accounting
Technical Functions).
2. Appraisal Services Program. Tribes/
consortia may negotiate a separate
memorandum of understanding (MOU)
with OST that outlines the roles and
responsibilities for management of these
programs.
If those roles and responsibilities are
already fully articulated in an existing
funding agreement with the BIA, an
MOU is not necessary. To the extent
that an existing funding agreement with
BIA lacks specific program standards,
an MOU will be negotiated between the
tribe/consortium and OST, which will
be binding on both parties and attached
and incorporated into the BIA funding
agreement.
For questions regarding selfgovernance, contact Lee Frazier,
Program Analyst, Office of External
Affairs, Office of the Special Trustee for
American Indians (MS 5140—MIB),
1849 C Street, NW., Washington, DC
20240–0001, phone: (202) 208–7587,
fax: (202) 208–7545.
IV. Programmatic Targets
During Fiscal Year 2011, upon request
of a self-governance tribe, each non-BIA
bureau will negotiate funding
agreements for its eligible programs
beyond those already negotiated.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Section 10(j) of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (ESA), as amended,
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior to establish
experimental populations of endangered
or threatened species. Because
individuals of experimental populations
are categorically protected under the
ESA, the information we collect is
important for monitoring the success of
reintroduction efforts and recovery
efforts in general. This is a nonform
collection. Information collection
requirements for experimental
populations of endangered and
threatened species are in 50 CFR 17.84.
We collect three categories of
information:
(1) General take or removal. Relates to
human-related mortality including
unintentional taking incidental to
otherwise lawful activities (e.g.,
highway mortalities); animal husbandry
actions authorized to manage the
population (e.g., translocation or
providing aid to sick, injured, or
orphaned individuals); take in defense
of human life; take related to defense of
property (if authorized); or take in the
form of authorized harassment.
(2) Depredation-related take. Involves
take for management purposes where
livestock depredation is documented,
and may include authorized harassment
or authorized lethal take of
experimental animals in the act of
attacking livestock.
(3) Specimen collection, recovery, or
reporting of dead individuals. This
information documents incidental or
authorized scientific collection. Most of
the contacts with the public deal
primarily with the reporting of sightings

67762

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 212 / Wednesday, November 3, 2010 / Notices

of experimental population animals or
the inadvertent discovery of an injured
or dead individual.
The information that we collect
includes:
• Name, address, and phone number
of reporting party.
• Species involved.
• Type of incident.
• Location and time of the reported
incident.
• Description of the circumstances
related to the incident.

This information helps us to assess
the effectiveness of control activities
and to develop better means to reduce
problems with livestock for those
species where depredation is a problem.
Service recovery specialists use the
information to determine the success of
reintroductions in relation to
established recovery plan goals for the
threatened and endangered species
involved.
