SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all information collections
require approval under the PRA. We may not conduct, or sponsor, and you
are 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 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.
(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: The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act
(ANILCA) provides the opportunity for qualified rural residents to
harvest subsistence resources in national parks, preserves and
monuments in Alaska. Under the provisions of ANILCA, subsistence
harvests by local rural residents are considered to be the priority
consumptive use of park resources. This
[[Page 34293]]
collection will gather traditional use information on subsistence
harvest patterns, specifically Dall's sheep (Ovis dalli) in the
southern Brooks Range, within Gates of the Arctic National Park and
Preserve (GAAR). This project will be a collaborative practice of
research that will include in-person interviews with sheep hunters
living in the Alaska Native villages of Alatna and Allakaket. This
collection will provide a better understanding about the experiences of
local subsistence harvesters and the importance of cultural and
traditional knowledge regarding Dall's Sheep.
