Abstract: To develop resource management strategies for the parklands, the National Park Service needs information on harvest patterns among residents of communities with subsistence eligibility, resource distribution systems, and the impact of the changing rural economy on subsistence activities. A survey will be used to estimate subsistence harvests and to describe community subsistence economies. The communities to be surveyed are designated as resident zone communities in recognition that many residents have customarily and traditionally engaged in subsistence uses within a national park or monument. The resulting information will assist park managers in their subsistence management responsibilities and will also be of use to local and regional advisory councils in making recommendations and by the State of Alaska and the Federal Subsistence Board in making decisions regarding the management of fish and wildlife in the region.

Short Statement: With this renewal the program will add three new communities (DENA, KATM and LACL) to this collection and removing two communities where the sampling is complete (GAAR and YUCA). The change also includes a correction in the method used to calculate the non-response burden. Previous reporting “double counted” the non-respondents. This correction caused a net decrease of 829 non-respondents by and as a result, the annual burden was reduced by 139 hours.
