SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.) and its implementing
regulations at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all
information collections require approval
under the PRA. We may not conduct or
sponsor and you are not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other
Federal agencies 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.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
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 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 166 / Wednesday, August 26, 2020 / Notices

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.
The Service plans to review the
current evaluation form to identify ways
to improve the information collected to:
• Provide more quantifiable and
defensible data;
• Provide statistical data for each
completed and submitted form;
• Provide more quantifiable rather
than qualitative information;
• Translate the client responses into
useful information in order for refuge
management to make informed
decisions.
The Service plans to submit the
updated evaluation form to OMB for
approval to pre-test under the
Department of the Interior Programmatic
Clearance (OMB Control No. 1040–
0001). After conclusion of the pretesting during the calendar year 2020
Alaska guide season, the final
evaluation form will be submitted to
OMB for approval under this collection
for full deployment prior to the calendar
year 2021 Alaska guide season.
Title of Collection: Alaska Guide
Service Evaluation.
OMB Control Number: 1018–0141.
Form Number: FWS Form 3–2349.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Clients
of permitted commercial guide service
providers.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 264.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 264.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 20 minutes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 88.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: One time,
following use of commercial guide
services.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: None.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
