Information Collection Requirement
Title: Military Severely Injured Joint
Support Operations Center (MSIJSOC)
and Travel Protocol Office (TPO)
Programs.
Type of Request: Extension.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0069.
Form(s): TSA Form 412, Travel
Support Request and TSA Form 417
Screening Assistance Notification.
Affected Public: Wounded warriors,
severely injured military personnel,
foreign dignitaries, accredited
Ambassadors to the United States, and
other travelers requiring an escort
through the airport security screening
process.
Abstract: The Helping Heroes Fly Act
directs TSA to develop and implement
a process to support and facilitate the
ease of travel and, to the extent possible,
provide expedited passenger screening
services for severely injured or disabled
members of the Armed Forces and
severely injured or disabled veterans
through passenger screening. See sec. 2
of the Helping Heroes Fly Act, Public
Law 113–27 (127 Stat. 503; Aug. 9,
2013) as amended and codified at 49
U.S.C. 44927. Consistent with these
requirements, TSA established the
MSIJSOC program to support and
facilitate the movement of wounded
warriors, severely injured military
personnel, and severely injured or
disabled veterans. Under the Aviation
and Transportation Security Act
(ATSA), TSA is responsible for security
in all modes of transportation including
screening operations for passenger air
transportation and for carrying out such
other duties relating to the
transportation security as it considers
appropriate. See sec. 101(a) of the
ATSA, Public Law 107–71 (115 Stat.
597; Nov. 19, 2001) as codified at 49
U.S.C. 114. Under ATSA, TSA
established the Travel Protocol Office
(TPO) Programs to assist foreign
dignitaries, accredited Ambassadors to
the United States, and other travelers
requiring an escort through the airport
security screening process.
To implement the MSIJSCO and TPO
programs, TSA must collect the
passenger’s name, flight itinerary
(scheduled flight departure and arrival
information), and contact information to
successfully facilitate movements
through the screening process at U.S.
airports and its territories. TSA shares
this information with airports on the
passenger’s itinerary to coordinate
efforts, to synchronize seamless
transitions with the affected parties, and
protect security operations.
Number of Respondents: 8,456.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 705 hours annually.

In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we
provide the general public and other
Federal agencies with an opportunity 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.
On May 14, 2020, we published in the
Federal Register (85 FR 28972) a notice
of our intent to request that OMB
approve this information collection. In
that notice, we solicited comments for
60 days, ending on July 13, 2020. We
received the following comments in
response to that notice:
Comment 1: Email comment received
on May 15, 2020, from Jean Public;
however, her comment did not address
the information collection requirements.
Agency Response to Comment 1: No
response required.
Comment 2: Email comment received
on July 9, 2020, from Holly Huchko,
Endangered Species Act Program
Specialist/Sport Fish Restoration
Coordinator, on behalf of the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife
(ODFW):
Ms. Huchko emphasized that the
national data generated by the FHWAR
are invaluable for assessing engagement
in and spending on outdoor recreation
in Oregon. She stated that the FHWAR
survey is also essential to USFWS
WSFR program and ODFW, since
coastal States must obligate Sport Fish
Restoration program grant funds so that
the ratio is equal to the resident marine
and freshwater anglers (50 CFR 80.65–
66). Ms. Huchko shared the
understanding that for the 2022 and
future FHWAR surveys, States will need
to pay for State level data if desired,
though USFWS will continue to provide
the freshwater/saltwater percent of
resident anglers in coastal States at no
cost. This information may be used for
determining the Sport Fish Restoration
saltwater/freshwater split. Ms. Huchko’s
understanding is accurate. Finally, Ms.
Huchko urged that the FHWAR
continue to be administered in both
mail and digital (web) modes, so as to
reduce barriers to participation.
Agency Response to Comment 2: The
methodology for the 2022 FHWAR,
described above, is responsive to the
needs identified in Ms. Huchko’s
comments. Oregon and other coastal
States will continue to receive data on
the number of freshwater/saltwater

anglers within their respective State,
free of cost. The 2022 FHWAR will also
be fielded in both mail and web modes.
Comment 3: Email comment received
on July 10, 2020, from Adam Kreger,
Martha C. Nussbaum Fellow—Wildlife
Law Program, on behalf of Friends of
Animals:
On behalf of Friends of Animals, Mr.
Kreger endorsed the FHWAR data
collection. He pointed to trends in
decreasing participation in hunting,
evolving views on hunting and fishing
among Americans, and the need to
gather reliable data on these topics.
Kreger argues that FWS and State
agencies should use the FHWAR and
other surveys to assess ‘‘future needs
and demands’’—namely, in the areas of
wildlife observation and photography.
Agency Response to Comment 3: The
FHWAR questionnaires will
systematically collect information about
three major activities: Fishing, hunting,
and wildlife watching. Our processes
and questionnaires devote equal
emphasis to each of these three major
activities.
The survey defines wildlife watching
as taking a special interest in observing
or viewing wildlife through any of the
following activities:
• Closely observing wildlife or trying
to identify types of wildlife you did not
know;
• Photographing wildlife;
• Feeding birds or other wildlife;
• Maintaining natural areas such as
wooded lots, hedgerows, or open fields
of at least one-quarter acre for the
benefit of wildlife, not including
farmland;
• Maintaining plantings such as
shrubs or agricultural crops for the
benefit of wildlife; and
• Visiting parks and natural areas to
observe, photograph, or feed wildlife.
The data from these items will allow
for analyses of trends in wildlife
watching among Americans, including
but not limited to wildlife observation
and photography. Similarly, detailed
questions about hunting and fishing will
allow for trend analysis surrounding
those major activities.
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;

VerDate Sep<11>2014

(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
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: The information collected
for the National Survey of Fishing,
Hunting and Wildlife-Associated
Recreation (FHWAR) assists the Fish
and Wildlife Service in administering
the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration
grant programs. The 2022 FHWAR
survey will provide up-to-date
information on the uses and demands
for wildlife-related recreation resources
and a basis for developing and
evaluating programs and projects to
meet existing and future needs.
We collect the information in
conjunction with carrying out our
responsibilities under the DingellJohnson Sport Fish Restoration Act (16
U.S.C. 777–777m) and the PittmanRobertson Wildlife Restoration Act (16
U.S.C. 669–669i). Under these acts, as
amended, we provide approximately $1
billion in grants annually to States for
projects that support sport fish and
wildlife management and restoration,
including:
• Improvement of fish and wildlife
habitats,
• Fishing and boating access,
• Fish stocking, and
• Hunting and fishing opportunities.
We also provide grants for aquatic
education and hunter education,
maintenance of completed projects, and
research into problems affecting fish
and wildlife resources. These projects
help to ensure that the American people
have adequate opportunities for fish and
wildlife recreation. We conduct the

survey about every 5 years. The 2022
FHWAR survey will be the 14th
conducted since 1955. We sponsor the
survey at the States’ request, which is
made through the Association of Fish
and Wildlife Agencies. We contract with
the National Opinion Research Center
(NORC) at the University of Chicago,
which collects the information using
internet, telephone, or mail-in paperand-pencil instrument (PAPI).
Respondents are invited to take the
survey with a mailed letter. NORC will
select a sample of sportspersons and
wildlife watchers from a household
screen and conduct three detailed
interviews during the survey year. The
survey collects information on the
number of days of participation, species
of animals sought, and expenditures for
trips and equipment. Information on the
characteristics of participants includes
age, income, sex, education, race, and
State of residence. The Wave 3
Freshwater/Saltwater Ratio
Questionnaire is designed to get
freshwater and saltwater fishing data for
coastal states. The Wildlife and
Sportfish Restoration Program is
required to divide fishing management
funds according to the ratio of
freshwater and saltwater anglers in each
coastal state.
Federal and State agencies use
information from the survey to make
policy decisions related to fish and
wildlife restoration and management.
Participation patterns and trend
information help identify present and
future needs and demands. Land
management agencies use the data on
expenditures and participation to assess
the value of wildlife-related recreational
uses of natural resources. Wildliferelated recreation expenditure
information is used to estimate the
impact on the economy and to support
the dedication of tax revenues for fish
and wildlife restoration programs.
Title of Collection: National Survey of
Fishing, Hunting, and WildlifeAssociated Recreation (FHWAR).
OMB Control Number: 1018–0088.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Reinstatement of a
previously approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals/households.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Screener data
collection will be conducted from
January through March 2022. The first
detailed sportsperson and wildlifewatcher interviews will be conducted in
May 2022. The second detailed
interviews will be conducted in
September 2022. The third and final
detailed interviews will be conducted in
January 2023.
