Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a valid OMB control
number. The ICR documentation will be
made available at http://
www.reginfo.gov upon its submission to
OMB. Therefore, in preparation for
OMB review and approval of the
following information collection, TSA is
soliciting comments to—
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
information requirement is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including using
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Information Collection Requirement
Title: TSA Customer Comment Tools.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0030.
Forms(s): NA.
Affected Public: Travelling public.
Abstract: The TSA Contact Center
(TCC) continues to serve as the main
portal of communication for the
traveling public. The public may contact
the TCC via email or phone to request
information, file a complaint—general
or Civil Rights and Liberties,
compliment, or provide general
feedback. With over one million
contacts per year, it is crucial for TSA
to have the ability to capture this
information. TSA’s online submission
forms are readily available from the
Customer Service portion of tsa.gov. The
online forms are easy to use and offer
several dropdown menu choices to
reduce the burden on the public and
increase the quality of data for TSA.
Currently, there are four options for the
online forms: Complaint and
Compliment, Request for Assistance,
Request for Information, and Security
Issues. The online forms are easy to use
and offer several dropdown menu
choices to reduce the burden on the

public and increase the quality of data
for TSA. TCC provides a receipt to any
person who submits an online form.
TSA is revising the information
collection, moving from four online
forms to six electronic forms. The online
form Complaint and Compliment has
been broken into two separate distinct
online forms. TSA PreCheckTM has been
pulled out of the drop down menu of
Complaint and given its own online
form. Request for Assistance online
form has been renamed TSA Cares. The
6 online forms are as follows:
• Complaint—passengers may
provide a complaint regarding their
experiences with TSA security
procedures. Passengers may also use
this form to file Disability or Civil
Rights and Civil Liberties complaints.
• TSA PreCheck—passengers may
share concerns about not receiving TSA
PreCheck on their boarding pass or
other concerns.
• Compliment—passengers may share
how TSA exceeded their expectations.
• Request for Information—
passengers may submit an inquiry about
TSA policies and procedures, such as
traveling with medical conditions,
prohibited & permitted items, security
screening and more.
• TSA Cares—passengers may request
assistance through the TSA screening
checkpoint.
• Security Issue—passengers may
identify and report suspicious activities
and threats. The TCC provides a receipt
to any person who submits an electronic
form or email to TSA as required by 49
CFR 1503.3(a).
Also, TSA is changing the name of
OMB control number 1652–0030 from
‘‘TSA Customer Comment Card’’ to
‘‘TSA Customer Comment Tools’’ to
more accurately represent the
information collection. In addition, TSA
is making non-substantive changes to
the paper comment card, updating the
appearance—font, TSA insignia and
spacing.
Number of Respondents: An
estimated 88,352 respondents annually.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 7,518 hours annually.

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.
On March 4, 2021, we published in
the Federal Register (86 FR 12707) a
notice of our intent to request that OMB
approve this information collection. In
that notice, we solicited comments for
60 days, ending on May 3, 2021. We
received one comment in response to
that notice, expressing concern that the
programs were morally wrong because
they supported wildlife hunting. The
comment did not address the
information collection requirements, so
no response is required.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. 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. 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

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
History of the Federal Duck Stamp
On March 16, 1934, Congress passed,
and President Franklin D. Roosevelt

VerDate Sep<11>2014

signed, the Migratory Bird Hunting
Stamp Act (16 U.S.C. 718–718k).
Popularly known as the Duck Stamp
Act, it required all waterfowl hunters 16
years or older to buy a stamp annually.
The revenue generated was originally
earmarked for the Department of
Agriculture, but 5 years later was
transferred to the Department of the
Interior and the Service.
In the years since its enactment, the
Federal Duck Stamp Program has
become one of the most popular and
successful conservation programs ever
initiated. Today, some 1.5 million
stamps are sold each year, and as of
2017, Federal Duck Stamps had
generated more than $1 billion for the
preservation of more than 6 million
acres of waterfowl habitat in the United
States. Numerous other birds, mammals,
fish, reptiles, and amphibians have
similarly prospered because of habitat
protection made possible by the
program. An estimated one-third of the
Nation’s endangered and threatened
species find food or shelter in refuges
preserved by Duck Stamp funds.
Moreover, the protected wetlands help
dissipate storms, purify water supplies,
store flood water, and nourish fish
hatchlings important for sport and
commercial fishermen.
History of the Duck Stamp Contest
Jay N. ‘‘Ding’’ Darling, a nationally
known political cartoonist for the Des
Moines Register and a noted hunter and
wildlife conservationist, designed the
first Federal Duck Stamp at President
Roosevelt’s request. In subsequent years,
noted wildlife artists submitted designs.
The first Federal Duck Stamp Contest
was opened in 1949 to any U.S. artist
who wished to enter, and 65 artists
submitted a total of 88 design entries.
Since then, the contest has been known
as the Federal Migratory Bird Hunting
and Conservation Stamp Art (Duck
Stamp) Contest and has attracted large
numbers of entrants.
The Duck Stamp Contest (50 CFR part
91) remains the only art competition of
its kind regulated by the U.S.
Government. The Secretary of the
Interior appoints a panel of noted art,
waterfowl, and philatelic authorities to
select each year’s winning design.
Winners receive no compensation for
the work, except a signed pane of their
stamps; however, winners retain the
copyright to their artwork and may sell
the original and prints of their designs,
which are sought by hunters,
conservationists, and art collectors.
For the Duck Stamp Contest, the
Service selects five or fewer species of
waterfowl each year; each entry must
employ one of the Service-designated

PO 00000

Frm 00063

species as the dominant feature (defined
as being in the foreground and clearly
the focus of attention). In 2020 a
permanent theme was established, and
participants are currently also required
to include a mandatory waterfowl
hunting accessory or waterfowl hunting
scene within their design. These may
include objects such as hunting dogs,
waterfowl decoys, waterfowl hunters
and scenes illustrating the theme
‘‘celebrating our waterfowl hunting
heritage.’’ Designs may also include
national wildlife refuges as the
background of habitat scenes, noneligible species, or other scenes that
depict uses of the stamp for
conservation and collecting purposes.
Entries may be in any media, except for
photography or computer-generated art.
Designs must be the contestants’
original hand-drawn creation and may
not be copied or duplicated from
previously published art, including
photographs, or from images in any
format published on the internet.
History of the Junior Duck Stamp
Contest
The Federal Junior Duck Stamp
Conservation and Design Program
(Junior Duck Stamp Program) began in
1989 as an extension of the Migratory
Bird Conservation and Hunting Stamp.
The national Junior Duck Stamp art
contest started in 1993, and the first
stamp design was selected from entries
from eight participating States. The
program was recognized by Congress
with the 1994 enactment of the Junior
Duck Stamp Conservation and Design
Program Act (16 U.S.C. 719). All 50
States, Washington DC, and 2 of the U.S.
Territories currently participate in the
annual contest.
The Junior Duck Stamp Program
introduces wetland and waterfowl
conservation to students in kindergarten
through high school. It crosses cultural,
ethnic, social, and geographic
boundaries to teach greater awareness
and guide students in exploring our
nation’s natural resources. It is the
Service’s premier conservation
education initiative.
The Junior Duck Stamp Program
includes a dynamic art-and-sciencebased curriculum. This nontraditional
pairing of subjects brings new interest to
both the sciences and the arts. The
program teaches students across the
nation conservation through the arts,
using scientific and wildlife observation
principles to encourage visual
communication about what they learn.
Four curriculum guides, with activities
and resources, were developed for use
as a year-round study plan to assist

13JYN1

36761

students in exploring science in real-life
situations.
Modeled after the Federal Duck
Stamp Contest, the annual Junior Duck
Stamp Art and Conservation Message
Contest (Junior Duck Stamp Contest)
was developed as a visual assessment of
a student’s learning and progression.
The Junior Duck Stamp Contest
encourages partnerships among Federal
and State government agencies,
nongovernmental organizations,
businesses, and volunteers to help
recognize and honor thousands of
teachers and students throughout the
United States for their participation in
conservation-related activities. Since
2000, the contest has received more
than 530,000 entries.
The winning artwork from the
national art contest serves as the design
for the Junior Duck Stamp, which the
Service produces annually. This $5
stamp has become a much sought after
collector’s item. One hundred percent of
the revenue from the sale of Junior Duck
stamps goes to support recognition and
environmental education activities for
students who participate in the
program. More than $1.25 million in
Junior Duck Stamp proceeds have been
used to provide recognition, incentives,
and scholarships to participating
students, teachers, and schools. The
Program continues to educate youth
about land stewardship and the
importance of connecting to the natural
world. Several students who have
participated in the Junior Duck Stamp
Program have gone on to become fulltime wildlife artists and conservation
professionals; many attribute their
interest and success to their early
exposure to the Junior Duck Stamp
Program.
Who Can Enter the Federal Duck Stamp
and Junior Duck Stamp Contests
The Duck Stamp Contest is open to all
U.S. citizens, nationals, and resident

aliens who are at least 18 years of age
by June 1. Individuals enrolled in
kindergarten through grade 12 may
participate in the Junior Duck Stamp
Contest. All eligible students are
encouraged to participate in the Junior
Duck Stamp Conservation and Design
Program annual art and conservation
message contest as part of the program
curriculum through public, private, and
homeschools, as well as through
nonformal educational experiences such
as those found in scouting, art studios,
and nature centers.
Entry Requirements
Each entry in the Duck Stamp Contest
requires a completed entry form and an
entry fee. Information required on the
entry form includes:
• ‘‘Display, Participation &

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

PO 00000

Frm 00065

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

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).
• 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 that might
have a large impact on refuge resources
(e.g., commercial visitor services,
research, etc.), we may require
applicants to provide more detail on
operations, techniques, and locations.
