SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 May 20, 2021, we published in the 

Federal Register (86 FR 27461) a notice 

of our intent to request that OMB 

approve this information collection. In 

that notice, we solicited comments for 

60 days, ending on July 19, 2021. We 

received the following comment in 

response to that notice: 

Comment 1: Email dated July 19, 

2021, from Thomas R. Jones, 

Amphibians and Reptiles Program 

Manager, Arizona Game and Fish 

Department. Mr. Jones confirmed the 

Service’s time burden estimates are 

accurate. 

Agency Response to Comment 1: The 

commenter agreed with our time burden 

estimates, so we did not make any 

changes to the estimates. 

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 entire 

comment—including your personal

1180 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 6 / Monday, January 10, 2022 / Notices 

identifying information—may be made 

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: Section 4 of the Endangered 

Species Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.) outlines the process by which we 

can list a species as a threatened species 

or an endangered species. When we 

consider whether to list a species, the 

ESA requires us to take into account the 

efforts made by any State or any 

political subdivision of a State to protect 

such species. We also take into account 

the efforts made by other entities. States 

or other entities often formalize 

conservation efforts in conservation 

agreements, conservation plans, 

management plans, or similar 

documents. The conservation efforts 

recommended or described in such 

documents could prevent some species 

from becoming so imperiled that they 

meet the definition of a threatened 

species or an endangered species under 

the ESA. 

The Policy for Evaluation of 

Conservation Efforts When Making 

Listing Decisions (PECE) (68 FR 15100, 

March 28, 2003) encourages the 

development of conservation 

agreements or plans and provides the 

standard that an individual 

conservation effort must meet in order 

for us to consider whether it is likely to 

make a difference in a species’ status. 

PECE applies to formalized conservation 

efforts that have not been implemented 

or have been implemented but have not 

yet demonstrated if they are effective at 

the time of a listing decision. 

Under PECE, formalized conservation 

efforts are defined as conservation 

efforts (specific actions, activities, or 

programs designed to eliminate or 

reduce threats or otherwise improve the 

status of a species) identified in a 

conservation agreement, conservation 

plan, management plan, or similar 

document. To assist us in evaluating 

whether a formalized conservation effort 

meets the standard under PECE, we 

collect information such as conservation 

plans, monitoring results, and progress 

reports. The development of any 

agreement or plan is voluntary. The 

PECE is posted on our Candidate 

Conservation website at http://

www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/ 

pdf/PECE-final.pdf.
