hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or
TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. Individuals
outside the United States should use the relay services offered within

the United States. You may also view the ICR at <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>.
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.
We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) is the collection necessary to the proper
functions of the NPS; (2) will this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how
might the NPS enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how might the NPS minimize the
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use
of information technology.
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: Under the provisions of the Alaska National Interest
Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), qualified rural residents are provided
the opportunity to harvest fish, wildlife, and other subsistence
resources in national parks, preserves, and monuments in Alaska. The
NPS is seeking an extension to continue surveying Alaska residents who
customarily and traditionally engage in subsistence activities within
NPS units.
The collection includes the following Alaskan National Parks,
Preserves, and Monuments: (1) Aniakchak National Monument (ANIA), (2)
Bering Land Bridge National Preserve (BELA), (3) Cape Krusenstern
National Monument (CAKR), (4) Gates of the Arctic National Park and
Preserve (GAAR), (5) Kobuk Valley National Park (KOVA), (6) Noatak
National Preserve (NOAT), (7) Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and
Preserve (WRST), and (9) Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve (YUCH).
This survey is conducted through in-person interviews. A facilitator
collects information about harvests, uses, and sharing of subsistence
resources. Search and harvest areas are also mapped over the course of
the interview. The information from this collection will be used by the
NPS, the Federal Subsistence Board, the State of Alaska, and local/
regional advisory councils in making recommendations and informing
decisions regarding seasons and harvest limits of fish, wildlife, and
plants in the region which communities have customarily and
traditionally used.

National Parks, Preserves, and Monuments.
