G. Eligible U.S. Geological Survey 

(USGS) Programs 

The mission of the USGS is to collect, 

analyze, and provide information on 

biology, geology, hydrology, and 

geography that contributes to the wise 

management of the Nation’s natural 

resources and to the health, safety, and 

well-being of the American people. This 

information is usually publicly available 

and includes maps, data bases, and 

descriptions and analyses of the water, 

plants, animals, energy, and mineral 

resources, land surface, underlying 

geologic structure, and dynamic 

processes of the earth. The USGS does 

not manage lands or resources. Selfgovernance tribes may potentially assist 

the USGS in the data acquisition and 

analysis components of its activities. 

For questions regarding selfgovernance, contact the Associate 

Director for Human Capital, U.S. 

Geological Survey, 12201 Sunrise Valley 

Drive, Reston, VA 20192, telephone 

703–648–7442, fax 703–648–7451. 

H. Eligible Office of the Special Trustee 

for American Indians (OST) Programs 

The Department of the Interior has 

responsibility for what may be the 

largest land trust in the world, 

approximately 56 million acres. OST 

oversees the management of Indian trust 

assets, including income generated from 

leasing and other commercial activities 

on Indian trust lands, by maintaining, 

investing and disbursing Indian trust 

financial assets, and reporting on these 

transactions. The mission of the OST is 

to serve Indian communities by 

fulfilling Indian fiduciary trust 

responsibilities. This is to be 

accomplished through the 

implementation of a Comprehensive 

Trust Management Plan (CTM) that is 

designed to improve trust beneficiary 

services, ownership information, 

management of trust fund assets, and 

self-governance activities. 

A tribe operating under selfgovernance may include the following 

programs, services, functions, and 

activities or portions thereof in a 

funding agreement: 

1. Beneficiary Processes Program 

(Individual Indian Money Accounting 

Technical Functions). 

2. Appraisal Services Program. Tribes/ 

consortia may negotiate a separate 

memorandum of understanding (MOU) 

with OST that outlines the roles and 

responsibilities for management of these 

programs. 

If those roles and responsibilities are 

already fully articulated in an existing 

funding agreement with the BIA, an 

MOU is not necessary. To the extent 

that an existing funding agreement with 

BIA lacks specific program standards, 

an MOU will be negotiated between the 

tribe/consortium and OST, which will 

be binding on both parties and attached 

and incorporated into the BIA funding 

agreement. 

For questions regarding selfgovernance, contact Lee Frazier, 

Program Analyst, Office of External 

Affairs, Office of the Special Trustee for 

American Indians (MS 5140—MIB), 

1849 C Street, NW., Washington, DC 

20240–0001, phone: (202) 208–7587, 

fax: (202) 208–7545. 

IV. Programmatic Targets 

During Fiscal Year 2011, upon request 

of a self-governance tribe, each non-BIA 

bureau will negotiate funding 

agreements for its eligible programs 

beyond those already negotiated.

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

ACTION: Notice; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: We (U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service) will ask the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve the information collection (IC) 

described below. As required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and 

as part of our continuing efforts to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden, we invite the general public and 

other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on this IC. This 

IC is scheduled to expire on March 31, 

2011. We 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. 

DATES: To ensure that we are able to 

consider your comments on this IC, we 

must receive them by January 3, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Send your comments on the 

IC to Hope Grey, Information Collection 

Clearance Officer, U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, MS 222–ARLSQ, 4401 

North Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 

22203 (mail); or infocol@fws.gov (email).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Section 10(j) of the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973 (ESA), as amended, 

(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) authorizes the 

Secretary of the Interior to establish 

experimental populations of endangered 

or threatened species. Because 

individuals of experimental populations 

are categorically protected under the 

ESA, the information we collect is 

important for monitoring the success of 

reintroduction efforts and recovery 

efforts in general. This is a nonform 

collection. Information collection 

requirements for experimental 

populations of endangered and 

threatened species are in 50 CFR 17.84. 

We collect three categories of 

information: 

(1) General take or removal. Relates to 

human-related mortality including 

unintentional taking incidental to 

otherwise lawful activities (e.g., 

highway mortalities); animal husbandry 

actions authorized to manage the 

population (e.g., translocation or 

providing aid to sick, injured, or 

orphaned individuals); take in defense 

of human life; take related to defense of 

property (if authorized); or take in the 

form of authorized harassment. 

(2) Depredation-related take. Involves 

take for management purposes where 

livestock depredation is documented, 

and may include authorized harassment 

or authorized lethal take of 

experimental animals in the act of 

attacking livestock. 

(3) Specimen collection, recovery, or 

reporting of dead individuals. This 

information documents incidental or 

authorized scientific collection. Most of 

the contacts with the public deal 

primarily with the reporting of sightings 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
67762 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 212 / Wednesday, November 3, 2010 / Notices 

of experimental population animals or 

the inadvertent discovery of an injured 

or dead individual. 

The information that we collect 

includes: 

• Name, address, and phone number 

of reporting party. 

• Species involved. 

• Type of incident. 

• Location and time of the reported 

incident. 

• Description of the circumstances 

related to the incident. 

This information helps us to assess 

the effectiveness of control activities 

and to develop better means to reduce 

problems with livestock for those 

species where depredation is a problem. 

Service recovery specialists use the 

information to determine the success of 

reintroductions in relation to 

established recovery plan goals for the 

threatened and endangered species 

involved.
