SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The USGS Bird Banding Laboratory is responsible for monitoring the 
trapping and marking of wild migratory birds by persons holding Federal 
permits. The Bird Banding Laboratory collects information using three 
forms: (1) The Application for Federal Bird Marking and Salvage Permit, 
(2) The Permit Renewal Form, and (3) The Bird Banding Recovery Report.
    We will protect information from respondents considered proprietary 
under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its 
implementing regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under regulations at 30 
CFR 250.197, ``Data and information to be made available to the public 
or for limited inspection.'' Responses are voluntary. No questions of a 
``sensitive'' nature are asked.

required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a

III. Request for Comments

    We are soliciting comments as to: (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the agency to perform its 
duties, including whether the information is useful; (b) the accuracy

information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity 
of the information to be collected; and (d) how to minimize the burden 
on the respondents, including the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.
    Please note that the comments submitted in response to this notice 
are a matter of public record. Before including your personal mailing
