The Branch of Training and Inspection (BTI) in the Serviceâs Office of Law Enforcement coordinates and conducts training for Service special agents, wildlife inspectors, and administrative staff, as well as for State, Native American, and foreign individuals responsible for wildlife and habitat protection. Over the past decade, there have been substantial increases in the numbers of programs and individuals trained, hours of training provided, and numbers of training sites.
There is a critical need for a comprehensive, reliable, and secure internet-based system capable of planning, coordinating, and tracking the increased training-associated information and workflow, as well as the associated equipment, materials, and supplies required to successfully accomplish and sustain our vital training environments.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
