FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Madonna L. Baucum, Service
Information Collection Clearance
Officer, by email at Info_Coll@fws.gov,
or by telephone at (703) 358–2503.
Individuals who are hearing or speech
impaired may call the Federal Relay
Service at 1–800–877–8339 for TTY
assistance. You may also view the
information collection request (ICR) at
http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain.
In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.) 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 January 4, 2021, we published in
the Federal Register (86 FR 116) a
notice of our intent to request that OMB
approve this information collection. In
that notice, we solicited comments for
60 days, ending on March 5, 2021. We
received one comment, which did not
address the information collection
requirements. Therefore, no response
was required.
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

address, phone number, email address,

information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal

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 Migratory Bird Treaty
Act (16 U.S.C. 703–712) designates the
Department of the Interior as the
primary agency responsible for
managing migratory bird populations
frequenting the United States and
setting hunting regulations that allow
for the well-being of migratory bird
populations. These responsibilities
dictate that we gather accurate data on
various characteristics of migratory bird
populations.
The Service’s fall survey for eastern
population sandhill crane was
established in 1979. It is implemented
by State and Federal agencies and
public volunteers from eight States in
the Atlantic and Mississippi Flyways, as
well as Ontario, Canada. Sandhill cranes
are widely dispersed during the
breeding and wintering seasons and are
difficult to count. The optimal time to
survey cranes is during the last week of
October, when the majority of eastern
population cranes breeding in Canada
migrate to traditional staging grounds in
the Great Lake States (e.g., JasperPulaski Fish and Wildlife Area,
Medaryville, Indiana). Since the initial
survey in 1979, crane numbers have
increased to over 90,000 birds.
The information collected through
this survey is vital in assessing the
relative changes in the geographic
distribution of the species. We use the
information primarily to inform
managers of changes in sandhill crane
distribution and population trends.
Without information on the
population’s status, we might
promulgate hunting regulations that:
• Are not sufficiently restrictive,
which could cause harm to the sandhill
crane population, or
• Are too restrictive, which would
unduly restrict recreational
opportunities afforded by sandhill crane
hunting.
Notifications for the survey are sent to
volunteers, and data results are entered
into the data portal in order to calculate
numbers of sandhill cranes. This survey
is conducted via an online survey
platform to reduce cost, improve data
quality, and decrease respondent
burden. This survey has no statistical

We received OMB approval to
conduct usability testing of the data
entry portal in 2019 under Interior’s
generic clearance process ‘‘DOI Generic
‘Fast Track’ Clearance for the Collection
of Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery’’ (OMB Control No.
1090–0011). After conducting the
usability testing of the data entry portal
for 1 year, we are now ready to seek
OMB’s full approval of this information
collection under the PRA.

The Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.), prohibits certain activities with
endangered and threatened species
unless authorized by a Federal permit.
The ESA and our implementing
regulations in part 17 of title 50 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
provide for the issuance of such permits
and require that we invite public
comment before issuing permits for
activities involving endangered species.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered species for
scientific purposes that promote
recovery or for enhancement of
propagation or survival of the species.
Our regulations implementing section
10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are found
at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered wildlife
species, 50 CFR 17.32 for threatened
wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.62 for
endangered plant species, and 50 CFR
17.72 for threatened plant species.
Permit Applications Available for
Review and Comment
Proposed activities in the following
permit requests are for the recovery and
enhancement of propagation or survival
of the species in the wild. The ESA
requires that we invite public comment
before issuing these permits.
Accordingly, we invite local, State, and
Federal agencies; Tribes; and the public
to submit written data, view, or
arguments with respect to these
applications. The comments and
recommendations that will be most
useful and likely to influence agency
decisions are those supported by
quantitative information or studies.
