(Service), are proposing a new 

information collection. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before July 12, 

2021. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under Review—Open for

Individuals who are hearing or speech 

impaired may call the Federal Relay 

Service at 1–800–877–8339 for TTY 

assistance. You may also view the 

information collection request (ICR) at

PRAMain. 

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 January 4, 2021, we published in 

the Federal Register (86 FR 116) a 

notice of our intent to request that OMB 

approve this information collection. In 

that notice, we solicited comments for 

60 days, ending on March 5, 2021. We 

received one comment, which did not 

address the information collection 

requirements. Therefore, no response 

was required. 

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 

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: The Migratory Bird Treaty 

Act (16 U.S.C. 703–712) designates the 

Department of the Interior as the 

primary agency responsible for 

managing migratory bird populations 

frequenting the United States and 

setting hunting regulations that allow 

for the well-being of migratory bird 

populations. These responsibilities 

dictate that we gather accurate data on 

various characteristics of migratory bird 

populations. 

The Service’s fall survey for eastern 

population sandhill crane was 

established in 1979. It is implemented 

by State and Federal agencies and 

public volunteers from eight States in 

the Atlantic and Mississippi Flyways, as 

well as Ontario, Canada. Sandhill cranes 

are widely dispersed during the 

breeding and wintering seasons and are 

difficult to count. The optimal time to 

survey cranes is during the last week of 

October, when the majority of eastern 

population cranes breeding in Canada 

migrate to traditional staging grounds in 

the Great Lake States (e.g., JasperPulaski Fish and Wildlife Area, 

Medaryville, Indiana). Since the initial 

survey in 1979, crane numbers have 

increased to over 90,000 birds. 

The information collected through 

this survey is vital in assessing the 

relative changes in the geographic 

distribution of the species. We use the 

information primarily to inform 

managers of changes in sandhill crane 

distribution and population trends. 

Without information on the 

population’s status, we might 

promulgate hunting regulations that: 

• Are not sufficiently restrictive, 

which could cause harm to the sandhill 

crane population, or 

• Are too restrictive, which would 

unduly restrict recreational 

opportunities afforded by sandhill crane 

hunting. 

Notifications for the survey are sent to 

volunteers, and data results are entered 

into the data portal in order to calculate 

numbers of sandhill cranes. This survey 

is conducted via an online survey 

platform to reduce cost, improve data 

quality, and decrease respondent 

burden. This survey has no statistical

Æ Method (ground count or point 

count), 

Æ Habitat (agricultural field, sandbar,

would like to submit. 

We received OMB approval to 

conduct usability testing of the data 

entry portal in 2019 under Interior’s 

generic clearance process ‘‘DOI Generic 

‘Fast Track’ Clearance for the Collection 

of Qualitative Feedback on Agency 

Service Delivery’’ (OMB Control No. 

1090–0011). After conducting the 

usability testing of the data entry portal 

for 1 year, we are now ready to seek 

OMB’s full approval of this information 

collection under the PRA.

Population Sandhill Crane Survey Data 

Entry Portal. 

OMB Control Number: 1018–New. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: New.

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.).

species under the Endangered Species 

Act. We invite the public and local,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite 

the public to comment on applications 

for permits under section 10(a)(1)(A) of 

the Endangered Species Act, as 

amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). 

The requested permits would allow the 

applicants to conduct activities 

intended to promote recovery of species 

that are listed as endangered or 

threatened under the ESA. 

Background 

The Endangered Species Act of 1973, 

as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.), prohibits certain activities with 

endangered and threatened species 

unless authorized by a Federal permit. 

The ESA and our implementing 

regulations in part 17 of title 50 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

provide for the issuance of such permits 

and require that we invite public 

comment before issuing permits for 

activities involving endangered species. 

A recovery permit issued by us under 

section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA 

authorizes the permittee to conduct 

activities with endangered species for 

scientific purposes that promote 

recovery or for enhancement of 

propagation or survival of the species. 

Our regulations implementing section 

10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are found 

at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered wildlife 

species, 50 CFR 17.32 for threatened 

wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.62 for 

endangered plant species, and 50 CFR 

17.72 for threatened plant species. 

Permit Applications Available for 

Review and Comment 

Proposed activities in the following 

permit requests are for the recovery and 

enhancement of propagation or survival 

of the species in the wild. The ESA 

requires that we invite public comment 

before issuing these permits. 

Accordingly, we invite local, State, and 

Federal agencies; Tribes; and the public 

to submit written data, view, or 

arguments with respect to these 

applications. The comments and 

recommendations that will be most 

useful and likely to influence agency 

decisions are those supported by 

quantitative information or studies.
