Committee on Water Information 

Charter 

Summary: Following consultation

The ACWI has been established under 

the authority of the Office of 

Management and Budget and Budget 

Memorandum No. M–92–01 and the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act. The 

purpose of this Presidential Committee 

is to represent the interests of waterinformation users and professionals in 

advising the Federal Government on 

Federal water-information programs and 

their effectiveness in meeting the 

Nation’s water-information needs. 

Member organizations help to foster 

communications between the Federal 

and non-Federal sectors on sharing 

water information. 

Membership represents a wide range 

of water resources interests and 

functions. Representation on the ACWI 

includes all levels of government, 

academia, private industry, and 

professional and technical societies. 

Member organizations designate their 

representatives and alternates. 

Membership is limited to a maximum of 

35 organizations. 

The Committee will function solely as

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Fish and Wildlife Service 

Availability of Final Environmental 

Impact Statement on Resident Canada 

Goose Management 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

69986 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 222 / Friday, November 18, 2005 / Notices 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice is to announce the 

availability of a Final Environmental 

Impact Statement (FEIS) on resident 

Canada goose management. We 

published the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement (DEIS) in March 2002. 

We considered over 2,700 public 

comments in revising the document. 

DATES: The public inspection period for 

the FEIS will last 30 days and will end 

on December 19, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: The document is available 

from the Division of Migratory Bird 

Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, 4401 North Fairfax Drive, Mail 

Stop 4107—MBSP, Arlington, Virginia 

22203–1610. It is also available on the 

Division of Migratory Bird Management 

Web page at http:// 

migratorybirds.fws.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ron 

W. Kokel, Division of Migratory Bird 

Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, at 703–358–1967. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FEIS 

evaluates alternative strategies to 

reduce, manage, and control resident 

Canada goose populations in the 

continental United States and to reduce 

goose-related damages. The objective of 

the FEIS is to provide a regulatory 

mechanism that would allow State and 

local agencies, other Federal agencies, 

and groups and individuals to respond 

to damage complaints or damages by 

resident Canada geese. The FEIS is a 

comprehensive programmatic plan 

intended to guide and direct resident 

Canada goose population growth and 

management activities in the 

conterminous United States. The FEIS 

analyzes seven management 

alternatives: (1) No Action (Alternative 

A); (2) Increase Use of Nonlethal Control 

and Management (excludes all 

permitted activities) (Alternative B); (3) 

Increase Use of Nonlethal Control and 

Management (continued permitting of 

those activities generally considered 

nonlethal) (Alternative C); (4) Expanded 

Hunting Methods and Opportunities 

(Alternative D); (5) Control and 

Depredation Order Management 

(consisting of an Airport Control Order, 

a Nest and Egg Depredation Order, an 

Agricultural Depredation Order, and a 

Public Health Control Order) 

(Alternative E); (6) Integrated Damage 

Management and Population Control 

(PROPOSED ACTION) (Alternative F); 

and (7) General Depredation Order 

(Alternative G). Alternatives were 

analyzed with regard to their potential 

impacts on resident Canada geese, other 

wildlife species, natural resources, 

special status species, socioeconomics, 

historical resources, and cultural 

resources. 

Our proposed action (Alternative F) 

would establish a new regulation with 

three main program components. The 

first component would be targeted to 

address resident Canada goose 

depredation, damage, and conflict 

management by authorizing or 

establishing specific resident Canada 

goose Control and Depredation Orders. 

The second component would be 

targeted to increase the sport harvest of 

resident Canada geese by providing new 

regulatory options to State wildlife 

management agencies and Tribal 

entities by authorizing the use of 

additional hunting methods. The third 

component would consist of a new 

regulation authorizing a resident Canada 

goose population control program, or 

management take. Management take is 

defined as a special management action 

that is needed to reduce certain wildlife 

populations when traditional 

management programs are unsuccessful 

in preventing overabundance of the 

population. The management take 

program would be implemented under 

the authority of the Migratory Bird 

Treaty Act to reduce and stabilize 

resident Canada goose populations. The 

intent of the program is to reduce 

resident Canada goose populations in 

order to protect personal property and 

agricultural crops, protect other 

interests from injury, resolve or prevent 

injury to people, property, agricultural 

crops, or other interests from resident 

Canada geese, and contribute to 

potential concerns about human health. 

On March 1, 2002 (67 FR 9448), the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

published a Notice of Availability of our 

DEIS. On March 7, 2002 (67 FR 10431), 

we published our own Notice of 

Availability of the DEIS. We published 

a Notice of Meetings on the DEIS on 

March 26, 2002 (67 FR 13792). Initial 

comments were accepted until May 30, 

2002. We subsequently published 

another Notice of Availability reopening 

the comment period on August 21, 2003 

(68 FR 50546). Also on August 21, 2003, 

we published a proposed rule regarding 

control and management of resident 

Canada goose populations (68 FR 

50496). Comments were accepted on 

both the DEIS and the proposed rule 

until October 20, 2003. 

We received public comments on the 

DEIS from 2,657 private individuals, 33 

State wildlife resource agencies, 37 

nongovernmental organizations, 29 local 

governments, 5 Federal or State 

legislators, 4 Flyway Councils, 4 Federal 

agencies, 3 tribes, 3 businesses, and 2 

State agricultural agencies. Of the 2,657 

comments received from private 

individuals, 56% opposed the preferred 

alternative and supported only 

nonlethal control and management 

alternatives, while 40% supported 

either the proposed alternative or a 

general depredation order. 

We modified the DEIS to respond to 

concerns and issues expressed by 

individuals, agencies, and 

organizations. Most notably, we 

excluded States in the Pacific Flyway 

from some of the available management 

components and shifted implementation 

and responsibility on some of the 

program components from the State to 

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Our 

proposed action remains Alternative F. 

A Record of Decision and final rule will 

be published after the inspection period 

(see DATES section). 

Dated: October 17, 2005.

Deputy Director, Fish and Wildlife Service.
