Availability of Birds of Conservation 

Concern 2021 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, announce the 

availability of Birds of Conservation 

Concern 2021. This publication 

identifies species, subspecies, and 

populations of migratory birds in need 

of additional conservation actions. The 

purpose and goal of this publication is 

to stimulate and guide coordinated, 

collaborative, and proactive 

conservation actions for these taxa 

among Federal, State, Tribal, and 

private partners. 

ADDRESSES: The subject document is 

available at https://www.fws.gov/birds/ 

management/managed-species/birds-ofconservation-concern.php.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), 

announce the availability of Birds of 

Conservation Concern 2021. This 

publication identifies species, 

subspecies, and populations of 

migratory birds in need of additional 

conservation actions. Our goal in 

publishing this list is to stimulate 

coordinated, collaborative, and 

proactive conservation actions among 

Federal, International, State, Tribal, and 

private partners. 

The 1988 amendment to the Fish and 

Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980 

(FWCA; 16 U.S.C. 2901–2912) requires 

the Secretary of the Interior, through the 

Service, to ‘‘identify species, subspecies, 

and populations of all migratory 

nongame birds that, without additional 

conservation actions, are likely to 

become candidates for listing under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 1531–1543) [ESA].’’ 

16 U.S.C. 2912; Public Law 100–653, 

802. Birds of Conservation Concern 

2021 fulfills that mandate and 

supersedes Birds of Conservation 

Concern 2008 (74 FR 11128). The 

overall purpose of the Birds of 

Conservation Concern list is to identify, 

by geography, those nongame migratory 

birds in greatest need of conservation 

attention. Thus, the species that appear 

in Birds of Conservation Concern 2021 

are deemed to be the highest priority for 

conservation actions. We anticipate that 

the document will be consulted by 

Federal agencies and their partners prior 

to undertaking cooperative research, 

monitoring, and management actions 

that might directly or indirectly affect 

migratory birds. 

The philosophy underlying the BCC 

reports is that proactive bird 

conservation is critical at a time when 

continued human impacts will be 

intensified by effects of a changing 

climate. By investing in actions for 

designated BCC taxa, we can prevent 

further degradation to environments 

that we all share, improve the odds for 

successful long-term conservation, and 

avoid the complexities associated with 

federal ESA listing. Proactive 

conservation is recognized as being 

more cost-effective than the recovery 

efforts required once a bird is listed 

under the ESA (e.g., Drechsler et al. 

2011). 

To serve as a broad early-warning 

system in the context of the FWCA, this 

list includes all of the species that we 

consider to be of conservation concern. 

Our objective in publishing the list is to 

focus conservation attention on bird 

species of concern well in advance of a 

possible or plausible need to consider 

them for listing under the ESA. 

Inclusion on this list does not constitute 

a finding that listing under the ESA is 

warranted, or that substantial 

information exists to indicate that 

listing under the ESA may be warranted. 

Many of the species on this list may 

never have to be considered for ESA 

listing, even if no additional 

conservation actions are taken. 

Authority 

The authority for this notice is the 

FWCA; the ESA; the Fish and Wildlife 

Act of 1956, as amended (16 U.S.C. 742a 

et seq.); and 16 U.S.C. 701.

did not receive any comments in 

response to that notice. 

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

Abstract: The Lacey Act (Act, 18 

U.S.C. 42) prohibits the importation of 

any animal deemed to be and prescribed 

by regulation to be injurious to: 

• Human beings; 

• The interests of agriculture, 

horticulture, and forestry; or 

• Wildlife or the wildlife resources of 

the United States. 

Implementation and enforcement of 

the Lacey Act is the responsibility of the 

Department of the Interior. The Service, 

in concert with our diverse partners, 

works to conserve, restore, and maintain 

the nation’s fishery resources and 

aquatic ecosystems for the benefit of the 

American people, to include managing 

and controlling four species of invasive 

carp—bighead, black, grass, and silver— 

native to Asia. Under the authority of 

the Act, the Service listed bighead, 

black, and silver carp species as 

injurious wildlife to protect humans, 

native wildlife, and wildlife resources 

from the purposeful or accidental 

introduction of invasive carp into the 

nation’s aquatic ecosystems. 

The Service takes part in a broad, 

partner-driven approach to strategically 

control the movement of Invasive carp. 

The spread of these invasive species in 

the nation’s river systems threatens the 

conservation efforts conducted by our 

agency, our State partners, and other 

stakeholders, to promote self-sustaining 

aquatic resources and healthy aquatic 

ecosystems. In addition to widespread 

and longstanding ecological 

consequences, aquatic invasive species 

often result in significant economic 

losses and cost our nation’s economy 

billions of dollars per year. 

To effectively carry out our 

responsibilities under the Act and 

protect the aquatic resources of the 

United States, the Service, in 

collaboration with the U.S. Geological 

Survey, proposes to administer 

applications of Carbon Dioxide-Carp by 

registered management partners 

(applicators) and to collect information 

regarding the usage of Carbon DioxideCarp, an Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) registered product #6704– 

95 to control Invasive carp. Carbon 

Dioxide-Carp is approved for use only 

by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 

U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers, State natural 

resource managers, or persons under 

their direct supervision. 

The Service will use the information 

collected to document the label 

requests, maintain inventory, and 

document application results of Carbon 

Dioxide-Carp as an EPA registered 

product. The Service proposes to collect 

information from applicators using the 

following four forms: 

• Form 3–2130: Report on Receipt of 

Label—Applicators must apply for a 

label to attach to a treatment container 

of Carbon Dioxide-Carp prior to being 

able to legally apply it as an Invasive 

carp deterrent or as an under-ice lethal 

control for aquatic nuisance species. 

This form collects the following 

information: 

Æ Applicant’s information, to include 

address, date of birth, contact 

number(s), email address, and relevant 

business information (if application is 

on behalf of a business, corporation, 

public agency, Tribe, or institution); 

Æ Date of label receipt; 

Æ Site of application, to include GPS 

location, approximate number of surface 

acres, and date of application; 

Æ Label number; and 

Æ Name and address of applicator. 

• Form 3–2163: Inventory Form for 

Use with Carbon Dioxide-Carp— 

Registered applicators must maintain an 

accurate inventory of Carbon DioxideCarp for the duration of possession of 

the product label. This form collects the 

following information: 

Æ Applicant’s information, to include 

address, date of birth, contact 

number(s), email address, and relevant 

business information (if application is 

on behalf of a business, corporation, 

public agency, Tribe, or institution); 

Æ Date of application; 

Æ Amount of Carbon Dioxide-Carp 

applied (pounds); 

Æ Label number; 

Æ Label return date; 

Æ Any adverse incident; and 

Æ Name of applicator and affiliation. 

• Form 3–2164: Worksheet for Field 

Application Locations—Applicators 

must complete Form 3–2164 for each 

application of Carbon Dioxide-Carp 

before the actual application. This form 

collects the following information: 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
32058 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 114 / Wednesday, June 16, 2021 / Notices 

Æ Applicant’s information, to include

• Form 3–2191: Results Report 

Form—Investigator must submit 

application results to the Service to 

document efficacy of the treatment and 

any possible adverse effects, as this data 

is required by the EPA to maintain 

product registration. This form collects 

the following information: 

Æ Applicant’s information, to include 

address, date of birth, contact 

number(s), email address, and relevant 

business information (if application is 

on behalf of a business, corporation, 

public agency, Tribe, or institution);

coordinates and city/county/state) and 

reporting individual; and 

Æ Application information, to include 

total amount of Carbon Dioxide-Carp 

used (pounds), application date(s), 

adverse incident information (to include 

date reported to the U.S. Geological 

Survey), applicator name and label 

number, National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System Permit number, and 

other required permits and permit 

numbers. 

• Form 3–2541: 6(a)(2) Adverse 

Incident Report—Investigator must 

submit application adverse results to the 

Service to document any irregularities 

in the application circumstances or 

adverse effects on non-target organisms. 

This form collects the following 

information: 

Æ Administrative data, to include 

reporting and contact individual (if 

different), address and phone number, 

incident status, location and date of 

incident, when registrant became aware 

of incident, and whether incident was 

part of a larger study; 

Æ Pesticide data, to include whether 

exposure was to concentrate prior to 

dilution; 

Æ Incident circumstances, to include 

whether there is evidence that label 

directions were not followed, whether 

applicator is a certified pest control 

operator, type of exposure, incident site, 

situation, and brief description of 

habitat and incident circumstances; and 

Æ Information involving fish, wildlife, 

plants, or other non-target organisms; 

species; symptoms or adverse effects; 

magnitude of the effects; and any 

explanatory or qualifying information 

surrounding the incident. 

ePermits Initiative 

We are exploring the feasibility of 

using the Service’s new ‘‘ePermits’’ 

initiative, an automated permit 

application system that will allow the 

agency to move towards a streamlined 

permitting process to reduce public 

burden. The ePermits platform would 

automate the five forms associated with 

this proposed information collection. 

Public burden reduction is a priority for 

the Service, the Assistant Secretary for 

Fish and Wildlife and Parks, and senior 

leadership at the Department of the 

Interior. The intent of the ePermits 

initiative is to fully automate the 

permitting and reporting process to 

improve the customer experience and to 

reduce time burden on respondents. 

This new system will enhance the user 

experience by allowing users to enter 

data from any device that has internet 

access, including personal computers, 

tablets, and smartphones. It will also 

link the permit applicant to the Pay.gov 

system for payment of any associated 

fees.
