Welcome to the Resident Canada Goose Nest and Egg Registration Site. If
you are a landowner, homeowner’s association, public land manager, or local

at this site for federal authorization to destroy resident Canada goose nests and
eggs on property under your jurisdiction.
You must register each year prior to taking nests and eggs. You must register
between January 1 and June 30 of the year in which the nests and eggs will be
destroyed. You must also enter the individual names of employees or agents
who may conduct the work on your behalf. You must be at least 18 years of age
to register.
Each registrant must return to this site by October 31 to report the number of
nests with eggs which were destroyed, for each month and location county. You
must report even if you conducted no activity. You will not be able to register for
future seasons if you have an outstanding report after 12/31 of the present
year..
Please note that some states do not participate in this registration program or have
additional or stricter requirements. It is very important that you review the list of State
Agency Contacts and Information link below to determine whether you should proceed

NOTICES
PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
General: The information requested is authorized by the following: Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16
U.S.C. 703-712); 50 CFR 21; General Provisions, 50 CFR 10; General Permit Procedures, 50 CFR 13
and Wildlife Provisions (Import/export/transport), 50 CFR 14.
Authority: The collection of information is to establish and verify a registrant’s eligibility to conduct
certain activities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and to comply with the requirement of the
depredation order for resident Canada geese nests and eggs as outlined in 50 CFR 21.50.
Purposes and Uses: The contact information will be used to manage and document resident Canada
goose population levels and implement actions intended to reduce, manage, and control resident
Canada goose populations in the continental United States.
Effects of Nondisclosure: Providing the requested information is voluntary. However, submission of
information is required to lawfully destroy resident Canada goose nests and eggs under a depredation
order.
PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT
We are collecting this information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501) to collect
information to establish and verify a registrant’s eligibility to conduct certain activities under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and to respond to requests made under the Freedom of Information Act and
the Privacy Act of 1974. The information that you provide is required to obtain or retain a benefit;
however, failure to provide all required information will negate the registration and make the landowner
ineligible to lawfully destroy resident Canada goose nests and eggs under the depredation order.
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection
of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. OMB has approved this
collection of information and assigned Control No. 1018-0133.

Public reporting for this collection of information varies with the convenient availability of the requested
information. The relevant burden for the Resident Canada Goose Nest and Egg Registration is 30
minutes for initial registration, 15 minutes to renew the registration, and 15 minutes for reporting.
These burden estimates includes time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining data and
completing and reviewing the form. Direct comments regarding the burden estimate or any other
aspect of the form to the Service Information Clearance Officer, Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S.
Department of the Interior, 5275 Leesburg Pike, MS: BPHC, Falls Church, VA 22041-3803, or via

If you are registering as an individual homeowner, provide the complete
name and address of the individual who will be the responsible registrant. If
you are applying on behalf of a homeowner client, the registrant name and
address must be that of the homeowner.
If you are registering as a business (including homeowners association),
corporation, public agency, local government, or institution, provide the complete
name and address of the entity that will be the responsible registrant and
the name and title of the principal officer. If you are applying on behalf of a
client, the information must pertain to the client.
Note: (1) An entity leasing a home or other property is considered the landowner for
purposes of this registration system. (2) A pest management company registering
on behalf of a client at the client's request must register in the name of the client,
not the pest management company. Each client must be registered separately under
a separate account. (3) A property management company that owns multiple
properties may create a single registration account in the name of the property
management company and list individual properties at the Location screen. A
property management company that does not own the properties must register each
property owner separately.
