SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the PRA, we provide 

the general public and other Federal 

agencies with an opportunity to 

comment on new, 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 personally 

identifiable information (PII) in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

PII—may be made publicly available at 

any time. While you can ask us in your 

comment to withhold your PII from 

public review, we cannot guarantee that 

we will be able to do so. 

Abstract: The USGS National Wildlife 

Health Center (NWHC) collects 

information on the presence of highly 

consequential wildlife diseases and the 

occurrence of wildlife morbidity/ 

mortality events nationwide to aid in 

outbreak investigations conducted by 

land-management agencies and as part 

of their mission-critical activities 

associated with response to animal 

health emergencies (Emergency Support 

Function 11). The collected information 

is used to provide situational awareness 

of potential zoonotic disease threats to 

human- and agricultural-health agencies 

and to assist land-management agencies 

with management decisions. NWHC 

requests that state, federal, and tribal 

natural-resource managers report 

wildlife morbidity and mortality events 

and collaborate on national-scale 

surveillance. Reported information 

includes the location, land ownership, 

and date(s) where the event occurred or 

sample was taken; capture methods and 

sample type, species sampled, and 

individual characteristics such as sex, 

age, and size; any clinical signs or other 

event history observed; habitat 

characteristics known to affect the 

suspected disease process, such as 

habitat type, habitat cover, temperature, 

precipitation, or others; laboratoryconfirmed or suspected diagnoses; and 

contact information for the person 

reporting the event or submitting the 

sample. NWHC reports back the results 

of diagnostic testing and cause of death 

(if applicable) to the submitter and 

provides generalized information to 

registered users through our WHISPers 

platform, where users can search and 

download current and historical trends 

in wildlife diseases (in accordance with 

the open data policy and FAIR 

standards). 

Title of Collection: Wildlife 

morbidity/mortality or disease 

surveillance event reporting. 

OMB Control Number: 1028–NEW. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: An existing collection 

without an OMB number. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Employees of state, federal, or tribal 

agencies with wildlife-management 

authority. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 400. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 400. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: 15 min. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 100. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Frequency of Collection: Per wildlife 

health event, frequency depends on the 

number of events experienced by an 

agency/management unit. 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: None. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, nor is a person required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

The authority for this action is the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq).

Director, National Wildlife Health Center.
