or by telephone at (703) 358–2503. You
may also view the ICR at http://
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 and 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general
public and other Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
On August 9, 2019, we published in
the Federal Register (84 FR 39362) a
notice of our intent to request that OMB
approve this information collection. In
that notice, we solicited comments for
60 days, ending on October 8, 2019. We
did not receive any comments in
response to that notice.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
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 that your
entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to

withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: The Service is charged with
implementing the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (Act; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.). The goal of the Act is to
provide a means to conserve the
ecosystems upon which listed species
depend and a program for listed species
conservation. Through our Candidate
Conservation program, we encourage
the public to take conservation actions
for species prior to them being listed
under the Act. Doing so may result in
precluding the need to list a species,
may result in listing a species as
threatened instead of endangered, or, if
a species becomes listed, may provide
the basis for its recovery and eventual
removal from the protections of the Act.
This policy gives landowners,
government agencies, and others
incentives to carry out voluntary
conservation actions for unlisted
species. It allows the use of any benefits
to the species from voluntary
conservation actions undertaken prior to
listing under the Act—by the person
who undertook such actions or by third
parties—to mitigate or offset the
detrimental effects of other actions
undertaken after listing. The policy
requires participating States to track the

voluntary conservation actions and
provide this information to us on an
annual basis. We require this
information in order to provide the
entities that have taken the conservation
actions with proper credit that can later
be used to mitigate for any detrimental
actions they take after the species is
listed.
We plan to collect the following
information:
• Description of the prelisting
conservation action being taken.
• Location of the action (does not
include a specific address).
• Name of the entity taking the action
and their contact information (email
address only).
• Frequency of the action (ongoing for
X years, or one-time implementation)
and an indication if the action is
included in a State Wildlife Action
Plan.
• Any transfer to a third party of the
mitigation or compensatory measure
rights.
Each State that chooses to participate
will collect this information from
landowners, businesses and
organizations, and Tribal and local
governments that wish to receive credit
for voluntary prelisting conservation
actions. States may collect this
information via an Access database,
Excel spreadsheet, or other database of

their choosing and submit the
information to the Fish and Wildlife
Service (via email) annually. States will
use this information to calculate the
number of credits that the entity taking
the conservation action will receive and
will keep track of the credits and notify
the entity of how much credit they have
earned. The States will report the
number of credits to the Service, and we
will determine how many credits are
needed by the entity to mitigate or offset
the detrimental effects of other actions
they take after the species is listed
(assuming it is listed).
