SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office

of Management and Budget (OMB)

regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which

implement provisions of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13),

require that interested members of the

public and affected agencies have an

opportunity to comment on information

collection and recordkeeping activities.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

plans to submit a request to OMB to

renew its approval of the collection of

information concerning numbers of

double-crested cormorants taken under

the Depredation Order (50 CFR 21.47).

We are requesting a 3-year term of

approval for this information collection

activity. A previous 60 day notice was

published (July 28, 2000, pages 46488–

46489) in the Federal Register inviting

public comment. One comment was

received.

Comments

A letter from the National

Aquaculture Association (NAA) stated

that although they felt the time burden

was underestimated, the burden is

justified because the information

collection is ‘‘vital to the overall

management program.’’ NAA also

suggested that publishing an on-line

summary of the results of the

information collection (i.e., the number

of cormorants killed under the

Depredation Order) would be useful and

that online reporting should be

considered.

Response

While we do not feel that these

comments justify revising the estimated

time burden, we will consider the idea

of using the internet for information
