The National Wildlife Refuge System

Improvement Act of 1997 that amends

the National Wildlife Refuge

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

668 dd-ee) requires that we authorize

economic privileges on any national

wildlife refuge by permit only when the

activity will be compatible and

appropriate with the purposes for which

the refuge was established. We will

provide the permit applications as

requested by interested citizens. We will

use information provided on the

required written forms and-or verbal

applications to ensure that the applicant

is eligible for the permit. We make

provision in our general refuge

regulations for public entry for

specialized purposes, including

economic activities such as the

operation of guiding and other visitor

services on refuges by concessionaire or

cooperators under appropriate

contractors or legal agreements or

special use permits (50 CFR 25.41 and

§§ 25.61, 30.11, 31.13, and 31.16). These

regulations provide the authorities and

procedures for allowing permits on

refuges outside of Alaska.

We use this permit to authorize such

items as farming operations (haying and

grazing, and beneficial management

tools that we use to provide the best

habitat possible on some refuges),

recreational visitor service operations

(outfitters/guides), commercial filming,

and other commercial and

noncommercial activities. Likely

respondents will be individual citizens,

certain corporations, Federal, State,

local, or Tribal governments. We will

issue permits for a specific period as

determined by the type and location of

the use or visitor service provided.

Title: National Wildlife Refuge System

Special Use Permit for all Refuges

Outside Alaska.

Approval Number: 1018–0102

Service Form Number: 3–1383

Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

Description of Respondents:

Individuals and households; Business

and other for-profit organizations; Nonprofit institutions; Farms; and State,

local or Tribal governments.

Total Annual Burden Hours: We have

519 national wildlife refuges outside the

State of Alaska. We anticipate that each

refuge will authorize approximately 20

permits each year. This is a total of

10,380 permits. We estimate that it takes

an hour to complete the application

requirements to supply the necessary

information. Therefore the annual

burden estimate in hours is 10,380.

Dated: April 19, 2001.

Wildlife Service.
