This collection will assess the vulnerabilities of several coastal communities in southern Alaska as to the potential effects of offshore oil and gas development on subsistence food harvest and sharing activities. The information will be used in planning future OCS lease sale activities.
The current inventory is 192 hours. With this renewal we are requesting a total of 411 burden hours--a net increase of 219 hours due to (1) a program decrease of 48 hours based on BOEM eliminating questions on harvesting migratory birds and eggs and (2) a program increase of 267 hours based on the changed survey area and the increased number of households that will be interviewed. There are no non-hour cost burdens associated with this collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
