Abstract: We collect information from
individuals or organizations that apply
for a special use permit required to
conduct economic or other privileged or
specialized uses on National Wildlife
Refuge System lands in Alaska. We use
the information to:
(1) Determine if the applicant is
qualified or eligible for a permit.
(2) Evaluate the impacts of the
proposed activity on refuge resources
and other users.
(3) Determine if the proposed activity
is compatible with refuge purposes and
the mission of the refuge system.
Comments: On May 26, 2006, we
published in the Federal Register (71
FR 30439) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB renew approval for
this information collection. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on July 25, 2006. We
received two comments from the same
individual. The comments did not
address issues surrounding the
proposed collection of information or
the cost and hour burden estimates, but
instead objected to our issuing permits
for guided hunting. The commenter also
questioned who verified the information
submitted in the application, and
suggested requesting additional
information for two of the application
items. If we include the suggested
additional information on our
application, we would collect
information in excess of the minimum
necessary to fulfill our statutory and
regulatory requirements and
responsibilities. Therefore, we have not

made any changes to FWS Form 3–2001
as a result of these comments.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
(3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents. Comments submitted in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record.
