accordance with the Paperwork

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

issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to 

the proper functions of the Service; (2) 

will this information be processed and 

used in a timely manner; (3) is the 

estimate of burden accurate; (4) how

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (5) how might the 

Service minimize the burden of this 

collection on the respondents, including

Abstract: We collect information via 

FWS Form 3–2349 (Alaska Guide 

Service Evaluation) to help us evaluate 

commercial guide services on our 

national wildlife refuges in the State of 

Alaska (State). The National Wildlife 

Refuge Administration Act of 1966, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 668dd–ee), 

authorizes us to permit uses, including 

commercial visitor services, on national 

wildlife refuges when we find the 

activity to be compatible with the 

purposes for which the refuge was 

established. With the objective of 

making available a variety of quality 

visitor services for wildlife-dependent 

recreation on National Wildlife Refuge 

System lands, we issue permits for 

commercial guide services, including 

big game hunting, sport fishing, wildlife 

viewing, river trips, and other guided 

activities. We use FWS Form 3–2349 as 

a method to: 

• Monitor the quality of services 

provided by commercial guides. 

• Gauge client satisfaction with the 

services. 

• Assess the impacts of the activity 

on refuge resources.

The client is the best source of 

information on the quality of 

commercial guiding services. We 

collect: 

• Client name. 

• Guide name(s). 

• Type of guided activity. 

• Dates and location of guided 

activity. 

• Information on the services 

received, such as the client’s 

expectations, safety, environmental 

impacts, and client’s overall 

satisfaction. 

We encourage respondents to provide 

any additional comments that they wish 

regarding the guide service or refuge 

experience, and ask whether or not they 

wish to be contacted for additional 

information. 

The above information, in 

combination with State-required guide 

activity reports and contacts with guides 

and clients in the field, provides a 

comprehensive method for monitoring 

permitted commercial guide activities. 

A regular program of client evaluation 

helps refuge managers detect potential 

problems with guide services so that we 

can take corrective actions promptly. In 

addition, we use this information during 

the competitive selection process for big 

game and sport fishing guide permits to 

evaluate an applicant’s ability to 

provide a quality guiding service.

Service Evaluation.
