Abstract:
This information collection is associated with regulations implementing the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.). The MBTA implements four treaties concerning migratory birds that the United States has signed with Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Russia. Under the treaties, we must preserve most species of birds in the United States, and activities involving migratory birds are prohibited except as authorized by regulation. We collect information concerning depredation actions taken under 50 CFR 21.43 (authorizes the take of blackbirds, cowbirds, crows, grackles, and magpies under certain circumstances) and 50 CFR 21.46 (authorizes the take of scrub jays and Steller’s jays in Washington and Oregon under certain circumstances). We collect the information to determine how many birds of each species are taken each year and whether the control actions are likely to affect the populations of those species. 50 CFR 21.43(f )(6) requires that when an injured or debilitated bird of a nontarget species is federally listed as an endangered, threatened, or candidate species, you must deliver it to a rehabilitator and report the take to the nearest U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Field Office or Special Agent.

Short Statement:
Based on our outreach documented in question 8, we increased the burden for the reporting requirement associated with the Annual Report (FWS Form 3-202-21-2143) from 1.5 hours to 2 hours. We also increased the recordkeeping burden for the Annual Report from 1 hours to 2 hours. The total burden for form 3-202-21-2143 is now 4 hours per submission. As a result, we are reporting a change in adjustment due to agency estimate of 44 hours for the additional time burden. The title of collection was changed to “Depredation Orders Under 50 CFR 21.43 and 21.46” to incorporate the additional CFR reference of 21.46 covering scrub jay and Steller jay depredation orders. Based on the comments received as documented in question 8, we developed an annual report form (3-2500) for 50 CFR 21.46. It is expected that the availability of this form will increase the number of reports received, providing a more accurate picture of how this regulation is used. As a result of this new IC, we are reporting a change due to agency discretion of 21 annual responses and 84 annual burden hours.
