The Build
America, Buy America Act (the Act) was
enacted on November 15, 2021, as part
of the Infrastructure Investment and
Jobs Act (IIJA) (Pub. L. 117–58). The Act
establishes a domestic content
procurement preference (the ‘‘Buy
American Preference,’’ or ‘‘BAP’’) that
applies to HUD’s Federal financial
assistance used for infrastructure
projects.
On May 3, 2022 (87 FR 26221), HUD
published a notice HUD seeking public
comment on a general applicability,
public interest waiver for one year of the
BAP as applied to FFA provided to
Tribal Recipients to provide the
Department with time to engage in the
Tribal consultation policy with respect
to the applicability of BABA
requirements to Tribal Recipients.
HUD’s Tribal Government-to
Government Consultation Policy 1 was
adopted in compliance with Executive
Order 13175, ‘‘Consultation with Indian
Tribal Governments,’’ and outlines the
internal procedures and principles HUD
must follow when communicating and
coordinating on HUD programs and
activities that affect Native American
Tribes.
On April 7, 2023, HUD posted for
comment on its website a proposed
extension to May 3, 2022, of the public
interest, general applicability waiver of
the BAP as applied to FFA provided to
Tribes Recipients. The notice proposed
that the waiver continue for an
additional period of one year and
established an April 24, 2023, deadline
for public comment. The notice was also
published in the Federal Register on
April 12, 2023 (88 FR 22064).
HUD has received feedback requesting
additional time to review and provide
comments on HUD’s proposal to extend
for an additional one-year period its
waiver of the BAP as applied to FFA
provided to Tribal Recipients.
Therefore, HUD is extending the
deadline for comments until May 8,
2023.

burdens, we invite the public and other
Federal agencies 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.
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,
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: We collect information via
Form 3–2349 (Alaska Guide Service
Evaluation) to help us evaluate
commercial guide services on our
national wildlife refuges in the State of
Alaska (State). The National Wildlife
Refuge Administration Act of 1966, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 668dd–ee),
authorizes us to permit uses, including
commercial visitor services, on national
wildlife refuges when we find the
activity to be compatible with the
purposes for which the refuge was
established. With the objective of
making available a variety of quality
visitor services for wildlife-dependent
recreation on National Wildlife Refuge
System lands, we issue permits for

Jkt 259001

commercial guide services, including
big game hunting, sport fishing, wildlife
viewing, river trips, and other guided
activities. We use FWS Form 3–2349 as
a method to:
• Monitor the quality of services
provided by commercial guides.
• Gauge client satisfaction with the
services.
• Assess the impacts of the activity
on refuge resources.
The client is the best source of
information on the quality of
commercial guiding services. We
collect:
• Client name.
• Guide name(s).
• Type of guided activity.
• Dates and location of guided
activity.
• Information on the services
received, such as the client’s
expectations, safety, environmental
impacts, and client’s overall
satisfaction.
We encourage respondents to provide
any additional comments that they wish
regarding the guide service or refuge
experience, and ask whether or not they
wish to be contacted for additional
information.
The above information, in
combination with State-required guide
activity reports and contacts with guides
and clients in the field, provides a
comprehensive method for monitoring
permitted commercial guide activities.
A regular program of client evaluation
helps refuge managers detect potential
problems with guide services so that we
can take corrective actions promptly. In
addition, we use this information during
the competitive selection process for big
game and sport fishing guide permits to
evaluate a renewing applicant’s ability
to provide a quality guiding service.
The Service is actively reviewing the
current evaluation form to identify ways
to improve the information collected to:
• Provide more quantifiable and
defensible data;
• Provide statistical data for each
completed and submitted form; and
• Translate the client responses into
useful information, so refuge
management can make better informed
decisions.
Proposed Revision
With this submission, the Service will
propose a new form (tentatively
assigned Form 3–2538, ‘‘Alaska Guide
Service Evaluation’’) to OMB for
approval. The Service initially proposed
this form for viability testing under
OMB Control No. 1090–0011, ‘‘DOI
Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery,’’ in our December 22, 2020,

Federal Register notice (85 FR 83604).
However, due to a delay and changes to
Control No. 1090–0011 that now
prohibit testing of new forms, we are
proposing the form be approved for
testing under this information collection
(OMB Control No. 1018–0141). Upon
approval and after successfully testing
the form in at least two guide seasons,
the Service anticipates discontinuing
Form 3–2349 and instead using Form 3–
2538 as the single guide service
evaluation form (incorporating
appropriate changes identified in the
usability testing phase).
In order to effectively adapt visitor
services programming in the Alaska
Region, we need to understand visitor
satisfaction. To that end, the Alaska
Guide Service Evaluation team,
comprised of representatives from
across the Region, with the assistance of
the Human Dimensions Branch and the
Service Information Collection
Clearance Officer, has revised the
current guide evaluation form. The
revised form provides the region’s
refuges with a useful and quantitative
tool that reflects social science survey
design best practices, and that is
standardized for use across refuges in
the region. Form 3–2538 would collect
the following information from
participants in the Alaska guide
program:
• Details regarding the guided trip—
name of the outfitter(s) and person(s)
guiding the trip and top three purposes
for visiting the refuge.
• Experiences with the guided trip.
• Level of satisfaction with the
guided trip and details regarding
purpose of visit to refuge.
• Suggestions for improvements.
• Details about visitor—gender; State
and/or country of residence; year of
birth; race or ethnicity; details regarding
formal schooling; and approximate
household income.
• Contact information for follow-up
questions (optional).
The public may request copies of any
form contained in this information
collection by sending a request to the
Service Information Collection
Clearance Officer (see ADDRESSES).
Title of Collection: Alaska Guide
Service Evaluation.
OMB Control Number: 1018–0141.

submissions sent via email will be
