Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 234 / Thursday, December 6, 2018 / Notices

continue compliance with the
appropriation restrictions for their
duration, the Office of the Chief
Financial Officer is issuing this renewal
approval notice for another formal three
year clearance of the information
collection request. Should the
appropriation restrictions become
ineffective or not be continued during
the three year clearance period, this
information request will be cancelled
when it is no longer required.

application process) will effectuate
compliance with the appropriation
restrictions by requiring all corporate
applicants to represent at the time of
application for a nonprocurement
program whether they have any felony
convictions or tax delinquencies that
would prevent USDA from doing
business with them. Form AD–3031
(applicable at the time of the award)
requires an affirmative representation
that corporate awardees for
nonprocurement transactions do not
have any felony convictions or tax
delinquencies. If the application and
award process occurs in a single step,
the agency or staff office may require
concurrent submission of both forms.
Corporations (for profit and non-profit
entities) include, but are not limited to,
any entity that has filed articles of
incorporation in one of the 50 States,
the District of Columbia, or the various
territories of the United States.
Collection of this information is
necessary to ensure that USDA agencies
and staff offices comply with the
appropriation restrictions prohibiting
the Government from doing business
with corporations with felony
convictions and/or tax delinquencies.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this information collection is
estimated to average 0.25 hours per
response.
Frequency of Collection: Other:
Corporations—AD–3030—each time
they apply to participate in a multitude
of USDA nonprocurement programs;
Awardees—AD–3031—each time they
receive an award from USDA
nonprocurement programs.
Type of Respondents. Corporate
applicants and awardees for USDA
nonprocurement programs, including
grants, cooperative agreements, loans,
loan guarantees, some memoranda of
understanding/agreement, and
nonprocurement contracts.
Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 352,523.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 2.75.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 969,438.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
National Management Information
System.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0335.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Secretary of Agriculture
is authorized under Section 426 of the
Act of March 2, 1931, as amended (7
U.S.C. 8351–8354; 46 Stat. 1468), to
conduct a program of wildlife services
with respect to injurious animal species.
Large populations of aggressive wildlife
species, if left unmanaged, may cause
tremendous amounts of damage to
crops, livestock herds, and private
property within the United States.
Without mitigation, the damage could
result in severe economic losses for
agricultural businesses and private
property owners. The Act authorizes the
Secretary to take any action he
considers necessary for the control of
nuisance mammals and birds and those
mammal and bird species that are
reservoirs for zoonotic diseases.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, Wildlife Services
(WS), is responsible for assisting the
public with mitigating wildlife damage.
WS provides advice or enters into
agreements with State and local
jurisdictions, Tribes, public and private
agencies, organizations, institutions,

and individuals to provide its services.
Through its technical assistance
approach, WS offers advice through
telephone or onsite consultations,
training sessions, demonstration
projects, and other means. Mitigation
activities are then performed by the
requester. WS also provides a
cooperative direct control approach
where goods, services, and expertise are
provided on a cost reimbursable basis.
WS collects only information needed to
determine appropriate courses of action
for providing effective services.
Information is used by the agency to:
• Identify cooperators appropriately;
• Identify lands on which WS
personnel will work;
• Differentiate between cooperators
(i.e., property owners, land managers, or
resource owners) who request assistance
to manage damage caused by wildlife;
• Identify the land areas on which
wildlife damage management activities
would be conducted;
• Identify the relationship between
resources or property, WS’ protection of
such resources or property, and the
damage caused by wildlife;
• Determine the methods or damage
management activities to deal with the
damage;
• Establish a record that a cooperative
agreement has been entered into with a
cooperator;
• Document that permission has been
obtained from landowners to go on the
cooperator’s property;
• Record wildlife damage occurrences
on cooperator’s property and steps to
address them;
• Record occurrences which may
have affected non-target species or
humans during, or related to, WS
project actions; and
• Determine satisfaction with service
to help WS evaluate, modify, and
improve its programs.
Information collection activities
include work initiation documents,
assistance requests, protected resource
queries, project reports, order forms and
sales records, equipment issuances,
migratory bird damage reports, permits,
reports of injury or death to non-target
animals, accident reports, pilot
proficiency reviews, and invoice
transmittals.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information 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 our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(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, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 0.05 hours per
response.
Respondents: State, local, and Tribal
governments; businesses, not-for-profits,
and other public sector organizations;
and individuals who request services
from WS or engage in wildlife damage
management projects with WS.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 98,906.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.123.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 111,120.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 5,503 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 29th day of
November 2018.

Inspection Service.
