DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
are requested regarding; 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; the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
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.
Comments regarding this information collection received by
September 26, 2022 will be considered. Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on the
following website <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number, and the agency informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: National Management Information System (Wildlife Service).
OMB Control Number: 0579-0335.
Summary of Collection: The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized
under 7 U.S.C. 8351-8353 to conduct a program of wildlife services with
respect to injurious animal species and to enter into agreements with
states, local jurisdictions, individuals, and public and private
organizations and institutions for the control of nuisance mammals and
birds and those mammal and bird species that are reservoirs of zoonotic
diseases. These populations, if left unmanaged, can pose a risk to
human health and safety and may cause tremendous economic damage to
crops, livestock herds, and private property within the United States.
The Wildlife Services (WS) program of the United States Department of
Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is responsible
for assisting the public with managing wildlife damage conflicts. WS
provides advice or enters into agreements for 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.
Through its direct control approach, goods, services, and expertise are
provided with appropriated and cooperative funds.
Need and Use of the Information: WS collects only information
needed to determine appropriate courses of action for providing
effective wildlife damage management services. Information is used by
the agency to identify and differentiate between cooperators (i.e.,
property owners, land managers, or resource owners) who request
assistance, and to identify land areas on which management activities
would be conducted. Information is also collected to identify the
relationship between resources or property, WS' protection of such
resources or property, the damage caused by wildlife, and the
management methods or activities required to mitigate the damage.
Records are maintained of permissions to access cooperator property,
wildlife damage occurrences on cooperator property and allowable
methods to address wildlife damage, and occurrences which may have
affected non-target species or humans during, or related to, WS project
actions. Finally, information is used to help WS evaluate, modify, and
improve its programs.
If left unmanaged, some wildlife species can pose a risk to human
health and safety and 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 physical and economic
losses for States, tribes, businesses, organizations, and private
property owners.
Description of Respondents: State and local jurisdictions, Tribes,
public and private agencies, organizations, institutions, and
individuals.
Number of Respondents: 77,712.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 3,608.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
