Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 48 / Monday, March 12, 2012 / Notices

Frequency of Collection: One time
following use of commercial guide
services.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 396.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 396.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 15 minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 99.
Abstract: We collect information on
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:
(1) Monitor the quality of services
provided by commercial guides.
(2) Gauge client satisfaction with the
services.
(3) 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:
(1) Client name.
(2) Guide name(s).
(3) Type of guided activity.
(4) Dates and location of guided
activity.
(5) 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.
Comments: On September 26, 2011,
we published in the Federal Register
(76 FR 59420) 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 November 25, 2011. We
did not receive any comments.
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

information in your comment, you
