SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA, 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.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
February 16, 2022 (87 FR 8876). 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.
(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. 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 National Park Service Organic Act, 54 U.S.C.
100101(a) et seq., requires that the NPS preserve national parks for
the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future
generations. In order to monitor resources and wildlife in the Glacier
Bay National Park and Preserve (GLBA) and to enhance the safety of
future visitors, the park monitors all sightings and interactions by
visitors with bears. NPS regulations codified in 36 CFR 1-7, 12 and 13,
are designated to implement statutory mandates that provide for
resource protection and public enjoyment.
The NPS uses Forms 10-405, ``Tatshenshini--Alsek River Bear
Report'' and 10-406, ``Bear Information Management Report to record
observations and interactions by visitors to determine bear movements,
habitat use, and species distribution. Obtaining immediate information
on bear-human conflicts allows managers to respond promptly to mitigate
further conflicts. Proactive mitigation includes notifying other
backcountry users, issuing advisories or recommendations, or issuing
closures to prevent further conflicts and maintain public safety.
