The FWS has committed to an 18-month timeline to update the data used in the fatality prediction model for the wind industry, including distinguishing between the impact on bald versus golden eagle mortality rates. FWS has agreed to provide an update to OIRA on how it analyzes monitoring information collected under this control number by June 1, 2018 and prior to finalizing its update to the fatality prediction model. If guidance that will be mandatory under the regulations is developed for pre-construction or post-construction monitoring surveys, or preparation of eagle conservation plans, and is determined to be significant for purposes of E.O. 12866, it must be submitted for review by OIRA under this control number.

Abstract:
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, propose revisions to the eagle non-purposeful take permit regulations and eagle nest take regulations that we promulgated in 2009. Proposed revisions include the following: changes to permit issuance criteria and duration; definitions; compensatory mitigation standards; criteria for eagle nest removal permits; permit application requirements; and fees. The revisions are intended to add clarity to the eagle permit regulations, improve their implementation, and increase compliance, while providing strong protection for eagles.
