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 for 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: Big Thicket National Preserve (BITH) enabling legislation
states that ``The Secretary shall permit hunting, fishing, and trapping
on lands and waters under their jurisdiction within the preserve
following the applicable laws of the United States and the State of
Texas.'' Special Use Regulations for hunting and trapping in the
Preserve was published in the Federal Register (48 FR 30296) on June
30, 1983, effective October 3, 1983. These regulations, found at 36 CFR
7.85, provide for proper use, management, government, public safety,
and visitor enjoyment of hunting and trapping on Preserve lands. One of
the goals in the draft Hunting and Trapping plan for Big Thicket is to
``Provide the Preserve with a mechanism for tracking population trends
using harvest records and to establish trigger points when additional
survey methods should be used to document major shifts of game species
populations.'' This information will be collected using harvest cards.

Trapping Harvest Cards.
