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 population 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
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.
• Take (quantity).
• 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.

Description of Respondents:
Individuals and households, private
sector, and State/local/tribal
governments.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 101.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 101.
Completion Time Per Response: 15
minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 27
(rounded).
