Agency Information Collection Activities; Bird Banding and Band 
Recovery Reports

AGENCY: U.S. Geological Survey, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we, 
the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are proposing to renew an information 
collection.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 
February 4, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Send your comments on the information collection request 
(ICR) by mail to the U.S. Geological Survey, Information Collections 
Clearance Officer, 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, MS 159, Reston, VA 
20192; or by email to [email protected]. Please reference 
OMB Control Number 1028-0082 in the subject line of your comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request additional information 
about this ICR, contact Bruce Peterjohn, Patuxent Wildlife Research 
Center by email at [email protected], or by telephone at 301-497-
5646.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies 
with an opportunity to comment on 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.
    We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described 
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper 
functions of the USGS; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the USGS enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the USGS minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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 may 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 Bird Banding Program is the responsibility of the 
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL). The BBL 
has a critical role in storing and maintaining data on banded and 
marked birds, particularly to facilitate coordination between banders 
and people who later encounter the marked birds, and to ensure the data 
are available for later analyses.
    To achieve these goals, the BBL collects information using three 
forms: (1) The Application for Federal Bird Banding or Marking Permit, 
(2) The Federal Bird Banding or Marking 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.
    Title of Collection: Bird Banding and Band Recovery Reports.
    OMB Control Number: 1028-0082.
    Form Number: NA.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: General Public.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 74,000.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 74,620.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: 3 to 30 minutes, depending 
on form used. The band recovery form receives approximately 74,100 
responses annually. The permit application form receives approximately 
80 and the permit renewal form receives approximately 440.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4000.
    Respondent's Obligation: None. Participation is voluntary.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
    Total Estimated Annual Non-hour Burden Cost: We have not identified 
any ``non-hour cost'' burdens associated with this collection of 
information.
    An agency 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.
    The authorities for this action are the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.).
