Availability of Documents

In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
On August 31, 2017, we published in
the Federal Register (82 FR 41423) a
notice of our intent to request that OMB
approve this information collection. In
that notice, we solicited comments for
60 days, ending on October 30, 2017.

We received no comments in response
to that notice.
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Service; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Service enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Service minimize the burden
of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email 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

you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: We collect information via
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:
• Monitor the quality of services
provided by commercial guides.
• Gauge client satisfaction with the
services.
• 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:
• Client name.
• Guide name(s).
• Type of guided activity.
• Dates and location of guided
activity.
• 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.

Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty
Act (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.) prohibits the
take, possession, import, export,
transport, sale, purchase, or bartering of
migratory birds or their parts, except as
permitted under the terms of a valid
permit or as permitted by regulations. In
2006, we issued regulations establishing
two depredation orders and three
control orders that allow State and tribal
wildlife agencies, private landowners,
and airports to conduct resident Canada
goose population management,
including the take of birds, nest and
eggs. We monitor the data collected for
activities under these orders and may
rescind an order if monitoring indicates
that activities are inconsistent with
conservation of Canada geese.
Control order for airports. Our
regulations at 50 CFR 21.49 allow
managers at commercial, public, and
private airports and military airfields
and their employees or agents to
implement management of resident
