However, some of the information is 

provided by the public. Information 

collection is achieved primarily by 

means of telephone calls from members 

of the public to Service offices specified 

in the individual regulations (some may 

choose to use facsimile or electronic 

mail). Reporting parties include, but are 

not limited to, individuals or 

households, farms, businesses, and 

other nonprofit organizations. We 

collect the following information: 

(a) Name, address, and phone number 

of the reporting party. 

(b) Type of incident. 

(c) Location and time of the incident. 

(d) Species of experimental 

population involved. 

(e) Description of circumstances 

related to the incident. 

The reporting of specimen collections, 

recovery, and dead individuals from 

experimental populations is important 

to our efforts to monitor these 

individuals and for other scientific 

purposes. Because the number of reports 

generated annually by the general 

public (rather than cooperating agencies 

or separately permitted individuals) 

under the experimental population 

regulations is extremely small (far less 

than one report per year, per rule) and 

to assure thorough documentation of 

results, we estimate the number of 

expected reports to assume a maximum 

number per year based on allowance for 

increased population size and public 

awareness of experimental populations. 

Several of the existing experimental 

populations described under 50 CFR 

17.84 contain information collection 

requirements. This information 

collection would also apply to any 

future experimental populations that 

become established that require the 

same types of reports as listed above.

We again invite comments concerning 

this information collection on: (1) 

Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of our native endangered 

and threatened species management 

functions, including whether or not the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden of the collection of information; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and, (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents. The information 

collections in this program are part of a 

system of records covered by the 

Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552(a)).
