Title VIII of the Alaska National
Interest Lands Conservation Act designates the Departments of the
Interior and Agriculture as the key agencies responsible for
implementing the subsistence priority on Federal public lands. To
help carry out subsistence management responsibilities, the
Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture established the Federal
Subsistence Management Program. Regulations implementing the
Federal Subsistence Management Program on Federal public lands
within Alaska are in the Code of Federal Regulations (50 CFR 100
and 36 CFR 242). To administer this program, we collect both form
and nonform information, including hunting and fishing
applications, permits, and reports; applications and interview
forms for membership on the regional advisory councils; proposals
and changes to subsistence regulations; and requests for
reconsideration and appeals.

This is an increase of 1,031 responses and 343 burden hours from

have made adjustments in our estimates for the three forms (3-2326,
3-2327, and 3-2328 - hunting and fishing applications, permits, and
reports) and regulatory requirement (appeals) currently approved
for this collection. These adjustments resulted in a decrease of
448 responses and 91 annual burden hours. We are reporting 1,479
responses and 434 hours as a program change: (1) 400 responses and
250 burden hours for the three forms (3-2321, 3-2322, and 3-2323)
associated with recruitment and selection of regional advisory
council members. These forms are currently approved under OMB
Control No. 1018-0120, which will be discontinued upon OMB action
on this ICR. (2)950 responses and 119 burden hours for two new
