SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (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.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. As part of our
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burdens, we are
soliciting comments from the public and
other Federal agencies on the proposed
ICR described below. We are especially
interested in public comments
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of 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.

Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty
Act of 1918 (16 U.S.C. 712(1))
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior,
in accordance with the treaties with
Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Russia, to
‘‘issue such regulations as may be
necessary to assure that the taking of
migratory birds and the collection of
their eggs, by the indigenous inhabitants
of the State of Alaska, shall be permitted
for their own nutritional and other
essential needs, as determined by the
Secretary of the Interior, during seasons
established so as to provide for the
preservation and maintenance of stocks
of migratory birds.’’ Article II(4)(b) of
the Protocol between the United States
and Canada amending the 1916
Convention for the Protection of
Migratory Birds in Canada and the
United States (Protocol) provides a legal
basis for Alaska Native people to be able
to sell handicrafts that contain the
inedible parts of birds taken for food
during the Alaska spring and summer
migratory bird subsistence harvest. The
Protocol also dictates that sales would
be allowed in strictly limited situations,
pursuant to a regulation by a competent
authority in cooperation with
management bodies. The Protocol does
not authorize the taking of migratory
birds for commercial purposes.
In 2017, we issued a final rule (July
24, 2017, 82 FR 34263), developed
under a co-management process
