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,

your entire comment—including your

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: The Branch of Training and
Inspection (BTI) in the Service’s 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.
The BTI purchased the Acadis
Readiness Suite, by Envisage
Technologies. This software suite
provides the Service with the
opportunity to enhance the
standardization of many of the internal

processes associated with training and
also provides us with an improved
ability to respond to inquiries from
Congress, the Department of the Interior,
and other external agencies. The
software suite will enhance the ability
of the BTI to:
• Schedule/track internal and
external training events;
• Improve the ability to register/track
both our internal and external student
population;
• To maintain training records
throughout the career of Service
personnel;
• To improve the ability to test and
survey Service student populations;
• To establish a robust lesson plan
repository; and
• To respond to inquiries from
internal and external agencies.
In order to administer this proposed
collection of information, the Service
will need to collect the following
information from prospective trainees:
• Full legal name;
• Gender;
• Country, city, and date of birth;
• Work address, telephone number,
and email address;
• Official passport number, country
of issue, expiration date, and national
identification number (foreign
government students only);
• Emergency contact information;
• Education, to include languages
spoken;
• Agency/department name and
address;
• Title/rank and level in agency;
• Law enforcement officer
experience; and
• Supervisor’s name, email address,
and phone number.
The Service will use the information
collected to record, track, and manage
training records of domestic and foreign
students affiliated with law enforcement
agencies who attend training offered by
the Service. The information will
provide us with the capability to search
the records of previous attendees (upon
official inquiry only) by name, country
of origin, or specific identifying number.
We will only use students’ information
in the Acadis Readiness Suite for
administrative functions such as signing
up/registering for training, training
history, and training requirements.
The authorities for the Service to
collect the required information
necessary to administer training
programs utilizing the Acadis Readiness
Suite include:
• Bald and Golden Eagle Protection
Act (16 U.S.C. 668–668c);
• Lacey Act (18 U.S.C. 42–43; 16
U.S.C. 3371–3378);
