Abstract: Information collected by the 

Service (in support of the land 

acquisition program) is required under 

applicable statutes, DOJ regulations, 

Departmental and Service policies, and 

best business practices. Examples of 

initial information collected from a 

willing-seller landowner include: The 

legal owner and/or co-owner names and 

addresses; the property location; the 

property legal description; the approval 

to access property; and permission to 

inspect and appraise. In the acquisition 

of certain low-value properties, or land 

donations, the Service also collects an 

approval for waiver of appraisal 

requirements. In those cases where a 

proposed land acquisition, from a 

willing seller, meets all the requisite 

inspections, surveys, valuation, 

environmental compliance, authorized 

approvals, and legal reviews, then the 

Service also collects additional 

information necessary to complete the 

legal conveyance documents, the 

associated financial transactions, and 

any Internal Revenue Service reporting 

requirements. The Service utilizes the 

Pre-Acquisition Tracking System 

(PATS) as the standard database in this 

information collection effort. 

The PATS is a nationwide database 

system that minimizes data input errors 

and reduces risk while creating 

efficiencies through standardization of 

the Service’s land acquisition business 

practices. The PATS simplifies the 

collection, use, sharing, and reporting of 

realty data, and provides a standard 

platform for interaction and 

collaboration throughout the Service’s 

land acquisition program. The PATS 

directly benefits willing-seller 

landowners by ensuring that electronic 

data pertaining to them, or their 

property, is maintained in a secure, 

enterprise-wide database system, and 

that document preparation errors are 

minimized utilizing standardized data 

input protocols and document 

management capabilities. 

Implementation of this approach will 

make data calls and status reports more 

consistent and timely, and the Service 

will be in compliance with the PRA. 

In addition, the PATS database 

facilitates Secretarial Order 3356 and 

3366 by tracking land acquisitions that 

have potential to support public 

hunting, fishing, and other forms of 

outdoor recreation, and access related 

thereto. 

Authorities for the collection of 

realty-related information include: 

• Regulations of the Attorney General 

Governing the Review and Approval of 

Title for Federal Land Acquisitions 

(2016); 

• Uniform Relocation Assistance and 

Real Property Acquisition Policies Act 

of 1970 (49 CFR 24); 

• National Wildlife Refuge 

Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 

668dd); 

• Migratory Bird Hunting and 

Conservation Stamp Act (16 U.S.C. 

718d); 

• Migratory Bird Conservation Act 

(16 U.S.C. 715–715r, as amended); 

• Land and Water Conservation Fund 

Act of 1965, as amended (16 U.S.C. 

460l); 

• Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 1534); 

• Emergency Wetlands Resources Act 

of 1986 (16 U.S.C. 3901); and, 

• Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 742a). 

Information collected by the Service’s 

Division of Realty via PATS may 

include the following: 

• Initial Requests—Initial request to 

consider property, to include such items 

as: 

Æ Identifying information for the legal 

property owner(s), such as:

along with spouse and/or co-owner(s) 

whose names appear on the current 

deed to the property under review; 

—Marital status; 

—Other names used; and 

—Contact information to include

Social Security Numbers (necessary for 

final payment transaction). 

Æ Property description, to include 

such information as: 

—Property name, 

—Location, 

—Legal description, and 

—Introductory information. 

Forms used by the Service in 

conjunction with initial requests to 

collect information from the public 

include: 

• Access Permission Letter 

(nonform—letter)—The Permission to 

Access Letter is a cover letter that 

contains the Permission to Inspect and 

Appraise document and may contain a 

Waiver of Appraisal document. 

• Permission to Inspect and Appraise 

(FWS Form 3–2471)—Collects 

information about the property owner 

and location, and grants permission to 

enter and inspect the property for real 

estate acquisition purposes. Inspection 

may include, but is not limited to: 

Æ Appraisal Valuations; 

Æ Boundary survey; 

Æ Hazardous materials examination 

(contaminant survey); and 

Æ Physical examination of any 

structures on the property. 

The document is not used in projects 

that are under Memoranda of 

Understanding (MOU), Memoranda of 

Agreement (MOA), Cooperative 

Agreements, some donation 

partnerships, and other special cases. 

• Waiver of Appraisal Requirement 

(nonform—letter)—Per 49 CFR 

24.102(c)(2), a willing-seller landowner 

may release the Service from the 

obligation of obtaining an appraisal for: 

(1) Land donations and (2) certain land 

acquisitions where the anticipated value 

is low and the valuation problem is 

uncomplicated. 

Information is collected and protected 

in accordance with the Privacy Act (5 

U.S.C. 552a) and the Freedom of 

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). We will 

maintain the information in a secure 

System of Records (Real Property 

Records, FWS–11, 64 FR 103 dated May
