Part 785 30-day FR Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 245 / Wednesday, December 21, 2011 / Notices
ICR to OMB for approval and soliciting
comments. The comment period closed
on October 4 2011. We received one
comment expressing concern that
residents of other states, such as New
Jersey, did not have access to these
resources. Under the provisions of
ANILCA, only rural Alaska residents are
qualified to engage in subsistence in
Alaskan National Parks, Preserves and
Monuments, and this survey responds
directly to congressional direction to
collect information on subsistence uses
(ANILCA 812). The commenter also
states that it is not necessary to conduct
these surveys on an annual basis. We
agree and are not proposing to do so. It
has been 10+ years since these
communities were last surveyed, and
we feel that conducting surveys at an
interval of 5 to 10 years between surveys
of individual communities will provide
adequate information for management
while not unnecessarily burdening the
public.
Comments are invited on: (1) The
practical utility of the information being
gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden
hour estimate; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden to
respondents, including use of
automated information techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All comments will become a matter of
public record. While you can ask us in
your comment to withhold personal
identifying information from public
review, we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so.
