DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Fish and Wildlife Service

Information Collection To Be

Submitted to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for Approval

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice, information collection.

The Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) regulations at 5 CFR part 1320,

which implement provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(Public Law 104–13), require that

interested members of the public and

affected agencies have an opportunity to

comment on information collection and

recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR

1320.8(d)). We have submitted a request

to OMB to renew its approval of the

collection of information for the Federal

Subsistence Hunt Application and

Permit, Designated Hunter Permit

Application and Report, and Federal

Subsistence Fish/Shellfish Harvest/

Designated Harvester Application. We

are requesting a 3-year term of approval

of this information collection. Pursuant

to our request for OMB approval of this

formation collection, we invite

comments on (1) whether the collection

of information is necessary for the

proper performance of out functions,

including whether the information will

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of

our estimate of burden, including the

validity of the methodology and

assumptions used, and (3) ways to

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity

of the information to be collected; and

(4) ways to minimize the burden of the

information collection through the use

of appropriate automated, electronic,

mechanical, or other technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before June 30, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Send comments and

suggestions to the Office of Management

and Budget, Office of Information and

Regulatory Affairs, Attention:

Department of the Interior Desk Officer,

Title: Federal Subsistence Hunt

Application and Permit and Designated

Hunter Permit Application and Permit.

OMB Approval Number: 1018–0075.

Service Form Number(s): 7–FW 1 and

7–FW 2 7–FW 3.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Alaska National Interest Lands

Conservation Act (ANILCA) and Fish

and Wildlife Service regulations, found

in 50 CFR 100, require that persons

engaged in taking fish and wildlife must

comply with reporting provisions of the

Federal Subsistence Board. The harvest

activity must be reported. In many

cases, a special permit is required for

the rural resident to be able to

participate in special hunts. The harvest

information is needed in order to

evaluate subsistence harvest success;

the effectiveness of season lengths,

harvest quotas, and harvest restrictions;

hunting patterns and practices; and

hunter use. Once harvest success

information is evaluated, the Federal

Subsistence Board utilizes this

information, along with other

information, to set future seasons and

harvest limits for Federal subsistence

resource users. These seasons and

harvest limits are set in order to meet

the needs of subsistence hunters

without adversely impacting the health

of existing wildlife populations. The

Federal Subsistence Hunt Application

and Permit also provides a mechanism

to allow Federal subsistence users the

opportunity to participate in special

hunts that are not available to the

general public but are provided for by

Title VIII of ANILCA. Both reports

provide for the collection of the

necessary information; however, the

Designated Hunter Report is unique in

that it allows the reporting of the

harvest of multiple animals by a single

hunter who is acting for others. The

Designated Hunter Application and

Permit also serves as a special permit

allowing qualified subsistence users to

harvest fish or wildlife for others. The

collection of information is needed prior

the expiration of time periods

established under 5 CFR 1320, and is

essential to the missions of the Fish and

Wildlife Service and the Federal

Subsistence Board. Without this

information public harm would occur as

a result of the Service’s inability to set

subsistence seasons and harvest limits

to meet users’ needs without adversely

impacting the health and the animal

population.

Frequency: On occasion.

Title: Federal Subsistence Fish/

Shellfish Harvest/Designated Harvester

Application.

OMB Approval Number:

Service Form Number(s): 7–FW 3

Abstract: Under the Alaska National

Interest Lands Conservation Act

(ANILCA) allows the taking of fish and

wildlife on public lands in Alaska for

subsistence use. In order to take fish and

wildlife in public lands for subsistence

uses, users must possess and comply

with the provisions of any pertinent

permit, harvest tickets, or tags required

by the State, or Federal permits, harvest

tickets or tags as required by the Federal

Subsistence Board (Board). All Alaskans

who are residents of rural areas or

communities are eligible to participate

in subsistence taking of that stock or

population under the regulations in 50

CFR 100.

Information on the fishermen,

qualified subsistence users fished for,

the fish/shellfish harvested, and the

location of harvest is needed by the

Board in making recommendations on

subsistence use. Once harvest success

information is evaluated, the Federal

Subsistence Board utilizes this

information, along with other

information, to set future seasons and

harvest limits for Federal subsistence

resource users. These seasons and

harvest limits are set in order to meet

the needs of subsistence fisherman

without adversely impacting the health

of existing fish/shellfish populations.

The Federal Subsistence Hunt

Application and Permit also provides a

mechanism to allow Federal subsistence

users the opportunity to participate in

special fishing opportunities that are not

available to the general public but are

provided for by Title VIII of ANILCA.

Description of Respondents:

Individuals and households.

Estimated Completion Time: The

reporting burden is estimated to be .25

hours or 15 minutes each.

Annual Responses: 5,200 (Federal

Subsistence Hunt Application and

Permit); 700 (Designated Hunter Permit

Application and Report); 1,000 (Federal

Subsistence Fish/Shellfish Harvest/

Designated Harvester Application).

Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,725

hours.
