We are 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 USGS; (2)
will this information be processed and
used in a timely manner; (3) is the
estimate of burden accurate; (4) how
might the USGS enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (5) how might the
USGS 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. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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 publicly available at any time.
While you may 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: The Yukon-Kuskokwim
(YK) Delta Berry Outlook is a data and
observer driven ecological monitoring
and modeling framework that forecasts
changes in berry habitat and abundance
with environmental change. To create a
berry monitoring protocol and modeling
framework we will solicit local
knowledge of berry distribution and
abundance from members of YK delta
communities using a survey instrument.
This survey is comprised of two parts,
Part A and Part B. Part A consists of
propositions that respondents are asked
to agree or disagree with using a Likert
scale. Propositions are on the subject of
timing, abundance, and distribution of
four types of berries prevalent in the
region. Part B consists of questions
concerning the abundance of that year’s
berry harvest.
Personally Identifiable Information
(PII) will be limited to four elements:
Names, phone numbers, emails, and the
name of the village they reside in. This
PII will be collected so that researchers
may communicate project results and
solicit feedback on the project itself for
evaluation purposes. Statistical analysis
will be performed on the survey
responses in to ascertain if a consensus
exists among participants within
villages and among villages.
The USGS mission is to serve the
Nation by providing reliable scientific
information to describe and understand

the Earth. This project will collect
information from individuals to better
understand the abundance, distribution,
and variability of berry resources in the
Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region of
Alaska. The people of the YK delta hold
information about the long-term
distribution and abundance of berries
that is useful for understanding current
and future changes to berry habitat that
has the potential to impact wildlife
populations of the Yukon Delta region
and the Yukon Delta National Wildlife
Refuge.
Title of Collection: YukonKuskokwim Delta Berry Outlook.
OMB Control Number: 1028–0122.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals residing in Alaska Native
Villages.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 150.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 150.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Twenty-five minutes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 62.5 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Part A onetime; Part B annually for three years.

sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The authorities for this action are the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501, et seq.).
