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.
We are soliciting comments on the
proposed information collection request
(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. 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

Abstract: The National Wildlife
Refuge System Administration Act of
1966 (Administration Act, 16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee), as amended by the
National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997, consolidated
all refuge units into a single National
Wildlife Refuge System (System). It also
authorized us to offer visitor and public
programs, including those facilitated by
commercial visitor and management
support services, on lands of the System
when we find that the activities are
appropriate and compatible with the
purpose(s) for which the refuge was
established and the System’s mission.
The Refuge Recreation Act of 1962
(Recreation Act, 16 U.S.C. 460k–460k–4)
allows the use of refuges for public
recreation when it is not inconsistent or
does not interfere with the primary
purpose(s) of the refuge. The Alaska
National Interest Lands Conservation
Act (ANILCA, 16 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.)
provides specific authorization and
guidance for the administration and
management of national wildlife refuges
within the State of Alaska. Its provisions
provide for the issuance of permits
under certain circumstances.
We issue special use permits for a
specific period as determined by the
type and location of the management
activity or visitor service provided.
These permits authorize activities such
as:
• Agricultural activities (haying and
grazing, 50 CFR 29.1 and 29.2).
• Beneficial management tools that
we use to provide the best habitat
possible on some refuges (50 CFR 30.11,
31.14, 31.16, and 36.41).
• Special events, group visits, and
other one-time events (50 CFR 25.41,
25.61, 26.36, and 36.41).
• Recreational visitor service
operations (50 CFR 25.41, 25.61, and
36.41).
• Guiding for fishing, hunting,
wildlife education, and interpretation
(50 CFR 25.41 and 36.41).
• Commercial filming (43 CFR 5, 50
CFR 27.71) and other commercial
activities (50 CFR 29.1 and 36.41).
• Building and using cabins to
support subsistence or commercial
activities (in Alaska) (50 CFR 26.35 and
36.41).

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:09 Sep 12, 2019

Jkt 247001

• Research, inventory and
monitoring, and other noncommercial
activities (50 CFR 26.36 and 36.41).
We use three forms to collect
applicant information:
• FWS Form 3–1383–G (General
Activities Special Use Application).
• FWS Form 3–1383–C (Commercial
Activities Special Use Application).
• FWS Form 3–1383–R (Research and
Monitoring Special Use Application).
The information we collect helps
ensure that: (1) Applicants are aware of
the types of information that may be
needed for permit issuance; (2)
requested activities are appropriate and
compatible with the purpose(s) for
which the refuge was established and
the System’s mission; and (3) the
applicant is eligible or is the most
qualified applicant to receive the special
use permit.
We may collect the necessary
information in a non-form format
(through discussions in person or over
the phone, over the internet, by email,
or by letter). In some instances,
respondents will be able to provide
information verbally. Often, a simple
email or letter describing the activity
will suffice. For activities (e.g.,
commercial visitor services, research,
etc.) that might have a large impact on
refuge resources, we may require
applicants to provide more detail on
operations, techniques, and locations.
Because of the span of activities covered
by special use permits and the different
management needs and resources at
each refuge, respondents may not be
required to answer all questions.
Depending on the requested activity,
refuge managers have the discretion to
ask for less information than appears on
the forms. However, refuge managers
must not ask for more or different
information.
We issue permits for a specific period
as determined by the type and location
of the use or service provided. We use
these permits to ensure that the
applicant is aware of the requirements
of the permit and his/her legal rights.
Refuge-specific special conditions may
be required for the permit. We identify
conditions as an addendum to the
permit. Most of the special conditions
pertain to how a permitted activity may
be conducted and do not require the
collection of information. However,
some special conditions, such as
activity reports, before and after site
photographs, or data sharing, would
qualify as an information collection, and
we have included the associated burden
below.

Proposed Revision
We are proposing to revise this
collection to request OMB approval of a
new form, FWS Form 3–1384, ‘‘Bid
Sheet—National Wildlife Refuge
System.’’ We developed this form to
streamline collection of the necessary
pre-award information from applicants
during bidding processes to conduct
economic uses on Service lands, such as
livestock, harvesting hay and stock feed,
or removing timber (50 CFR 29.21). This
form will simplify the pre-award
selection/bidding process for bidders
and for refuge staff.
Currently, the only form approved for
collection of this information is the
Commercial Activities Special Use
Permit Application (FWS Form 3–1383–
C), which bidders and refuge staff alike
find confusing and complicated; this
hampers the Service’s ability to collect
the basic information necessary to
determine which applicants will be
awarded economic use privileges. The
proposed Bid Sheet will be much
clearer for bidders, better enabling them
to understand what information the
refuge needs in order to select bids for
economic use, and, therefore, reducing
the time and burden for the public and
Service staff in the pre-award selection
bidding process. This form is also easily
customizable to the individual
economic use being awarded. We will
continue to use the Commercial Special
Use Permit as the actual award
document that will outline the terms
and conditions of the economic use on
Service lands.
Title of Collection: National Wildlife
Refuge Special Use Permit Applications
and Reports, 50 CFR 25, 26, 27, 29, 30,
31, 32, & 36.
OMB Control Number: 1018–0102.
Form Number: FWS Forms 3–1383–G,
3–1383–C, 3–1383–R, and 3–1384.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and households; businesses
and other for-profit organizations;
nonprofit organizations; farms; and
State, local, or tribal governments.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion
for applications; annually or on
occasion for reports.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: $270,300 for fees
associated with applications for
commercial use activities ($100.00 × an
estimated 2,703 applications).
