Abstract: Our Regional Migratory Bird 

Permit Offices use information that we 

collect on permit applications to 

determine the eligibility of applicants 

for permits requested in accordance 

with the criteria in various Federal 

wildlife conservation laws and 

international treaties, including: 

(1) Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 

U.S.C. 703 et seq.). 

(2) Lacey Act (16 U.S.C. 3371 et seq.). 

(3) Bald and Golden Eagle Protection 

Act (16 U.S.C. 668). 

Service regulations implementing 

these statutes and treaties are in Chapter 

I, Subchapter B of Title 50 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR). These 

regulations stipulate general and 

specific requirements that, when met, 

allow us to issue permits to authorize 

activities that are otherwise prohibited. 

All Service permit applications are in 

the 3–200 series of forms, each tailored 

to a specific activity based on the 

requirements for specific types of 

permits. We collect standard identifier 

information for all permits. The 

information that we collect on 

applications and reports is the 

minimum necessary for us to determine 

if the applicant meets/continues to meet 

issuance requirements for the particular 

activity. This revised ICR includes 

modifications to the format and content 

of the currently approved applications 

so that they (a) are easier to understand 

and complete and (b) will accommodate 

future electronic permitting. 

This ICR includes four permit 

application and report forms that are 

currently approved under OMB Control 

Number 1018–0136. Once OMB takes 

action on this IC, we will discontinue 

OMB Control No. 1018–0136. 

• FWS Form 3–200–71 (Eagle Take 

(Disturb)). 

• FWS Form 3–200–72 (Eagle Nest 

Take). 

• FWS Form 3–202–15 (Eagle Take 

Monitoring and Annual Report). 

• FWS Form 3–202–16 (Eagle Nest 

Take Monitoring and Reporting). 

In addition, we are proposing three 

new forms: 

• FWS Form 3–200–81 (Special 

Purpose—Utility) will provide an 

application specifically tailored for 

utilities (e.g., power, communications) 

to request permits to salvage migratory 

birds on their property and rights-ofway. 

• FWS Form 3–200–82 (Eagle 

Transport Into and Out of the United 

States) will provide an application for 

permits under the Bald and Golden 

Eagle Protection Act to transport dead 

eagle specimens into and out of the 

country temporarily for scientific or 

exhibition purposes, such as for 

museum exhibits. 

• FWS Form 3–202–17 (Special 

Purpose—Utility Annual Report) will 

provide a standardized annual report 

form for Special Purpose—Utility 

permits. 

Comments: On April 7, 2010, we 

published in the Federal Register (75 

FR 17757) a notice of our intent to 

request that OMB renew approval for 

this information collection. In that 

notice, we solicited comments for 60 

days, ending on June 7, 2010. We did 

not receive any comments. 

We again invite comments concerning 

this information collection on: 

• Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary, including 

whether or not the information will 

have practical utility; 

• The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information; 

• Ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. Before including your 

address, phone number, e-mail address, 

or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment, including your personal 

identifying information, may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask OMB in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that it will be done.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Draft Revised Recovery 

Plan for the Northern Spotted Owl 

(Strix occidentalis caurina); Reopening 

of Public Comment Period 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of document availability; 

reopening of comment period. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, recently announced 

the availability of the Draft Revised 

Recovery Plan for the Northern Spotted 

Owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) for 

public review and comment. See 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for details. 

We now reopen the comment period. If 

you have previously submitted 

comments, please do not resubmit them, 

because we have already incorporated 

them in the public record and will fully 

consider them in developing our final 

recovery plan. 

DATES: To ensure consideration, please 

send your written comments by 

December 15, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Electronic copies of the 

draft revised recovery plan are available 

online at: http://ecos.fws.gov/docs/ 

recovery_plan/100915.pdf and http:// 

www.fws.gov/oregonfwo/Species/Data/ 

NorthernSpottedOwl/Recovery/. Printed 

copies of the draft revised recovery plan 

are available by request from the Field 

Supervisor, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, Oregon Fish and Wildlife 

Office, 2600 SE. 98th Avenue, Ste. 100, 

Portland, OR 97266 (phone: 503/231– 

6179). Written comments regarding this 

recovery plan, or requests for copies of 

the plan, should be addressed to the 

above Portland address or sent by e-mail 

to: NSORPComments@fws.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Brendan White or (for draft copies of 

population response model output) 

Diana Acosta, Fish and Wildlife 

Biologists, at the above address and 

phone number. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 15, 2010, we published a 

Federal Register notice (75 FR 56131) 

announcing the availability of the Draft 

Revised Recovery Plan for the Northern 

Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) 

for public review and comment under 

the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C 

1531 et seq.). We originally opened this 

comment period for 60 days, from 

September 15, 2010, to November 15, 

2010. We are re-opening the public 

comment period until December 15, 

2010, in response to several requests for 

additional time to review and comment 

on the draft revised recovery plan. 

For background information on the 

draft revised recovery plan, see our 

September 15, 2010, notice. As stated in 

that notice, we particularly seek 

comments concerning portions of the 

draft revised recovery plan that have 

been updated from the 2008 recovery 

plan. Appendix C of the draft revised 

recovery plan described stages 1 and 2 

of our ongoing three-stage spotted owl 

modeling effort. Since its release we 

have continued this effort, initiating 

population response modeling using the 

individual-based population program 

HexSim. Though still at preliminary 

draft stage, population response 

simulations from this portion of the 

modeling process are available for 

public review by request from our 

office. These simulations do not 

estimate what will occur in the future, 

but provide comparative information on 

potential population responses to 

different conservation scenarios as 

described in the draft revised recovery 

plan. 

Public Availability of Comments 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you may ask us in your comment 

to withhold personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
