Alaska Guide Service Evaluation

This information collection concerns evaluation of commercial guide services on Fish and Wildlife Service national wildlife refuges in the State of Alaska (State). FWS Form 3-2349 (Alaska Guide Service Evaluation) provides a method for us to: 1) monitor the quality of services provided by commercial guides; (2) gauge client satisfaction with the servicesl and (3) assess the impacts of the activity on refuge resources. In combination with State-required guide activity reports and contacts with guides and clients in the field, this information 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 guides to evaluate an applicant's ability to provide a quality guiding service.
