Abstract: This information collection
is associated with regulations
implementing the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act (MBTA) (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.).
Under the MBTA, it is unlawful to take,
possess, import, export, transport, sell,
purchase, barter, or offer for sale,
purchase, or barter, migratory birds or
their parts, nests, or eggs, except as
authorized by regulations implementing
the MBTA.
The regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 21.47
(Aquaculture Depredation Order)
authorize aquaculture producers and the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (APHISWildlife Services) in 13 States to take
double-crested cormorants when the
birds are found committing or about to
commit depredations on commercial
freshwater aquaculture stocks. The
regulations at 50 CFR 21.48 (Public
Resource Depredation Order) authorize
State fish and wildlife agencies, APHISWildlife Services, and federally

Jkt 229001

recognized tribes in 24 States to take
double-crested cormorants to prevent
depredations on the public resources of
fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats.
Both 50 CFR 21.47 and 21.48 impose
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements on those operating under
the depredation orders. We use the
information collected to:
• Help assess the impact of the
depredation orders on double-crested
cormorant populations.
• Protect nontarget migratory birds or
other species.
• Ensure that agencies and
individuals are operating in accordance
with the terms, conditions, and purpose
of the orders.
• Help gauge the effectiveness of the
orders at mitigating cormorant-related
damages.
Comments: On July 9, 2012, we
published in the Federal Register (77
FR 40374) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB renew approval for

this information collection. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on September 7, 2012. We
received one comment. The commenter
objected to APHIS-Wildlife Services
being included as an action agency
under the depredation orders, but did
not address the information collection
requirements. We did not make any
changes to our requirements based on
this comment.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and

• Ways to minimize the burden of the

respondents.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment, including your personal

withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that it will be done.
