capacity contraints. This plan will be
developed in consultation with key EITI
stakeholders and published upon
completion.
• Provides opportunities for
collaboration and consultation among
stakeholders.
• Advises the Secretary and posts for
consideration by other stakeholders
proposals for conducting long-term
oversight and other activities necessary
to achieve EITI and compliant status.
The Committee consists of
representatives from three stakeholder
sectors. However, there currently are no
committee members representing Tribal
governments or individual Indian
mineral owners. The sectors are:
1. Industry, including non-Federal
representatives from the extractive
industry, including oil, gas, and mining
companies and industry-related trade
associations.
2. Civil society, including
organizations with an interest in
extractive industries, transparency, and
government oversight; members of the
public; and public and/or private
investors.
3. Government, including Federal,
State, local, and Tribal governments,
and individual Indian mineral owners.
Please note, the purpose of this notice
is to fill the Tribal or individual Indian
mineral owner positions on the
government sector of the Committee
because these unique perspectives are
currently not represented. In addition to
honoring the EITI principle of selfselection within the stakeholder sector,
the following criteria will be considered
in making final selections:
(1) Understanding of and commitment
to the EITI process
(2) Ability to collaborate and operate
in a multi-stakeholder setting
(3) Access to and support from a
relevant stakeholder constituency
(4) Basic understanding of the
extractive industry and/or revenue
collection, or willingness to be educated
on such matters
Individuals who are currently
Federally registered lobbyists are
ineligible to serve on any FACA and
non-FACA boards, committees, or
councils.
The Committee will meet quarterly or
at the request of the Designated Federal
Officer. Non-Federal members of the
Committee will serve without
compensation. However, we may pay
the travel and per diem expenses of
Committee members, if appropriate,
under the Federal Travel Regulations.

described below. As required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and

other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on this IC. This
IC is scheduled to expire on September
30, 2014. We may not conduct or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
This information collection
implements requirements of the
Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.) (ESA). There are no
corresponding Service regulations for
the ESA post–delisting monitoring
requirement. This IC also implements
the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C.
704) and 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 (64 FR 46542). Section 4(g) of the
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 Web site at http://
www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/
pdf/Peregrineplan2003.pdf. Formal
collection of monitoring data
commenced in 2003 and will continue
through 2015.
We will use the information supplied
on 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 territory will be visited
at least two 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 are archived in a deep freeze for
analysis at a later time.

threatened species for scientific
purposes or enhancement of
propagation or survival. Our regulations
