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.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
February 4, 2022 (87 FR 6621). No comments were received.
    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other 
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. 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 the agency might 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. Before including your address, phone number, email 
address, or other personally identifiable information (PII) in your 
comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including your 
PII--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us 
in your comment to withhold your PII from public review, we cannot 
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    Abstract: In 2019 the National Park Service (NPS) completed a plan 
for non-native fish management from Glen Canyon Dam to Lees Ferry and 
on through Grand Canyon National Park. With public and partner input, 
the NPS identified specific tools for managing non-native brown trout, 
including an incentivized harvest program that offers a reward to 
anglers for catching and harvesting brown trout. The Glen Canyon Dam 
Adaptive Management Program along with its science provider, the U.S. 
Geological Survey's Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center, is 
interested in understanding the participation of anglers in the brown 
trout incentivized harvest program. An online survey will be used to 
collect information concerning (1) trip characteristics, (2) incentive 
structure and (3) opinions on river management. This collection 
proposes to provide data that will be used to inform the ongoing 
incentivized harvest program.
