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), 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; and
(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: Recreational fishing in NPS units is allowed where it is
authorized by Federal law or where it is not specifically prohibited
and does not interfere with the functions of natural aquatic or
riparian habitats. Angling opportunities exist in over 170 NPS units
that encompass diverse aquatic environments and fish communities,
including numerous species of interest to anglers. Authorized by 36 CFR
2.3 individual parks and regions, along with State agencies, are
responsible for managing their fisheries and associated natural
resources. This information collection is intended to create a standard
Creel Survey that can be used by park units open to recreational and
sports fishing. The information collected will allow park managers to
assess fishing pressure, angler catch rates, and potential effects on
park resources.
Creel surveys are a common fishery management technique designed to
determine the angler's catch of each species and the fishing time
required to catch the fish. The information collected describes angler
use, fishing pressure, fish harvest, and distribution of several
important species of fish.
