40616 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 142 / Wednesday, July 28, 2021 / Notices 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), announce our 

intention to conduct a 5-year status 

review under the Endangered Species 

Act of 1973, as amended, for the Eskimo 

curlew. A 5-year status review is based 

on the best scientific and commercial 

data available at the time of the review. 

We are requesting submission of any 

new information that has become 

available since the last review of the 

species in 2016. 

DATES: To ensure consideration, we 

must receive your comments and 

information by September 27, 2021. 

However, we will accept information 

about the species at any time. 

ADDRESSES: Please submit your 

information by one of the following 

methods: 

• Email: Daniel_Rizzolo@fws.gov; or 

• U.S. mail: U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, Attention: Dan Rizzolo, 

Fisheries and Ecological Services, 101 

12th Avenue, Fairbanks, Alaska 99701. 

For more about submitting 

information, see Request for Information 

in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

section.

Relay Service at 800–877–8339 for TTY 

assistance. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are 

initiating a 5-year status review under 

the ESA for the Eskimo curlew 

(Numenius borealis). A 5-year status 

review is based on the best scientific 

and commercial data available at the 

time of the review; therefore, we are 

requesting submission of any new 

information on this species that has 

become available since the last 5-year 

review was conducted in 2016. 

Why do we conduct 5-year reviews? 

Under the ESA, we maintain Lists of 

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants (which we collectively refer 

to as the List) in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.11 (for 

animals) and 17.12 (for plants). Section 

4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA requires us to 

review each listed species’ status at least 

once every 5 years. Further, our 

regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 require 

that we publish a notice in the Federal 

Register announcing those species 

under active review. For additional 

information about 5-year reviews, go to 

http://www.fws.gov/endangered/whatwe-do/recovery-overview.html. 

What information do we consider in 

our reviews? 

In conducting these reviews, we 

consider the best scientific and 

commercial data that have become 

available since the listing determination 

or most recent status review, such as: 

(1) The biology of the species, 

including but not limited to population 

trends, distribution, abundance, 

demographics, and genetics; 

(2) Habitat conditions, including but 

not limited to amount, distribution, and 

suitability; 

(3) Conservation measures that have 

been implemented that benefit the 

species; 

(4) Threat status and trends in relation 

to the five listing factors (as defined in 

section 4(a)(1) of the ESA); and 

(5) Other new information, data, or 

corrections, including but not limited to 

taxonomic or nomenclatural changes, 

identification of erroneous information 

contained in the List, and improved 

analytical methods. 

Any new information will be 

considered during the 5-year review and 

will also be useful in evaluating the 

ongoing recovery programs for the 

species. 

In the case of the Eskimo curlew, we 

concluded in our 2016 5-year review 

that the probability that the species 

remained extant was extremely low 

based on the scarcity of recent sightings 

and the length of time that has passed 

since the last sighting that was 

confirmed with physical evidence. We 

will therefore focus this 5-year review 

upon reported sightings or other recent 

information on the species’ possible 

existence. Thus, we ask, in particular, 

for information on recent sightings, 

including indication as to whether 

corroborating evidence (such as 

photographs) is available.

Request for Information 

To ensure that a 5-year review is 

complete and based on the best 

available scientific and commercial 

information, we request new 

information from all sources. See What 

Information Do We Consider in Our 

Review? for specific criteria. If you 

submit information, please support it 

with documentation such as maps, 

bibliographic references, methods used 

to gather and analyze the data, and/or 

copies of any pertinent publications, 

reports, or letters by knowledgeable 

sources.

Abstract: The Secretary of the Interior 

probates the estates of individual 

Indians owning trust or restricted 

property in accordance with 25 U.S.C. 

372–373. In order to compile the 

probate file, the BIA must obtain the 

family heirship data regarding the 

deceased from individuals and the tribe. 

This section contains the procedures 

that the Secretary of the Interior follows 

to initiate the probate of the trust estate 

for a deceased person who owns an 

interest in trust or restricted property. 

The Secretary must perform the 

necessary research of family heirship 

data collection requests in this part to 

obtain the information necessary to 

compile an accurate and complete 

probate file. This file will be forwarded 

to the Office of Hearing and Appeals 

(OHA) for disposition. Responses to 

these information collection requests are 

required to create a probate file for the 

decedent’s estate so that OHA can 

determine the heirs of the decedent and 

order distribution of the trust assets in 

the decedent’s estate. 

Title of Collection: Probate of Indian 

Estates, Except for Members of the 

Osage Nation and Five Civilized Tribes. 

OMB Control Number: 1076–0169. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Indians, 

businesses, and tribal authorities.

Response: Varies from 0.5 hours to 45 

hours.

Burden Hours: 617,486 per year. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

Obtain a Benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: Once per 

respondent per year. 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: $0. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

The authority for this action is the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq).
