Abstract: Under section 101(b) of the
Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972
(MMPA), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361–
1407), Alaska Natives residing in Alaska
and dwelling on the coast of the North
Pacific or Arctic Oceans may harvest
polar bears, northern sea otters, and
Pacific walrus for subsistence or
handicraft purposes. Section 109(i) of
the MMPA authorizes the Secretary of
the Interior to prescribe marking,
tagging, and reporting regulations
applicable to the Alaska Native
subsistence and handicraft take.

On behalf of the Secretary, we
implemented regulations at 50 CFR
18.23(f) for Alaska Natives harvesting
polar bear, northern sea otter, and
Pacific walrus. These regulations enable
us to gather data on the Alaska Native
subsistence and handicraft harvest and
on the biology of polar bear, northern
sea otter, and Pacific walrus in Alaska
to determine what effect such take may
be having on these populations. The
regulations also provide us with a
means of monitoring the disposition of
the harvest to ensure that any
commercial use of products created

from these species meets the criteria set
forth in section 101(b) of the MMPA. We
use three forms to collect the
information: FWS Form 3–2414 (Polar
Bear Tagging Certificates), FWS Form 3–
2415 (Walrus Tagging Certificates), and
FWS Form 3–2416 (Sea Otter Tagging
Certificates). These forms replace forms
R7–50, R7–51, and R7–52. The
information we collect includes, but is
not limited to:
• Date of kill.
• Sex of the animal.
• Kill location.

• Age of the animal (i.e., adult,
subadult, cub, or pup).
• Form of transportation used to
make the kill of polar bears.
• Amount of time (i.e., hours/days
hunted) spent hunting polar bears.
• Type of take (live-killed or beachfound) for walrus.
• Number of otters present in and
number of otters harvested from pod.
• Condition of the bear and whether
or not polar bear cubs were present.
• Name of the hunter or possessor of
the specified parts at the time of
marking, tagging, and reporting.
Comments: On October 18, 2010, we
published in the Federal Register (75
FR 63850) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB renew approval for
this information collection. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on December 17, 2010. We
received two comments. The Marine
Mammal Commission submitted a letter
of support for the data collection as
proposed. A second comment opposed
this information collection as unworthy
of continued support and a burden to
general taxpayers. In this comment,
subsistence marine mammal hunters
were misidentified as fishermen. We
note the concerns raised by this
individual; however, the harvest of
marine mammals by certain Alaska
Natives for certain purposes is
specifically exempted from otherwise
prohibited activities by section 101(b) of
the Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA) of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1361 et seq.). A Marking, Tagging and
Reporting Program is also specifically
mandated by this same Act. We did not
make any changes to our information
collection.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment, including your personal
identifying information, may be made
publicly available at any time. While

withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that it will be done.
