SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Alaska Interest Lands
Conservation Act (ANILCA) and Service
regulations at 50 CFR 100 require that
persons engaged in taking fish, shellfish,
and wildlife on public lands in Alaska
apply for and obtain a permit to do so
and comply with reporting provisions of
that permit. Under the current approval
for this information collection, we use
three forms to collect information from
qualified rural residents for subsistence
harvest:
(1) FWS Form 3-2326 (Federal
Subsistence Hunt Application, Permit,
and Report).
(2) FWS Form 3-2327 (Designated
Hunter Permit Application, Permit, and
Report.
(3) FWS Form 3-2328 (Federal
Subsistence Fishing Application,
Permit, and Report.
We are proposing to add two new
forms:
(1) FWS Form 3-2378 (Designated
Fishing Permit Application, Permit, and
Report).
(2) FWS Form 3-2379 (Federal
Subsistence Customary Trade
Recordkeeping Form).
We use the information collected to
evaluate:
(1) Subsistence harvest success.
(2) Effectiveness of season lengths,
harvest quotas, and harvest restrictions.
(3) Hunting patterns and practices.
(4) Hunter use.
The Federal Subsistence Board uses

information, to set future season dates
and bag limits for Federal subsistence
resource users. These seasons and bag
limits are set to meet needs of
subsistence hunters without adversely
impacting the health of existing animal
populations.
During the renewal process for this
information, we reviewed our
regulations and discovered some
information collection requirements not
specifically addressed in our previous
request for approval. We also collect
nonform information on:
(1) Repeal of Federal subsistence rules
and regulations (50 CFR 100.14).
(2) Proposed changes to Federal
subsistence regulations (50 CFR 100.18).
(3) Special action requests (50 CFR
100.19).
(4) Requests for reconsideration (50
CFR 100.20).
(5) Requests for permits and reports,
such as traditional religious/cultural/
educational permits; fishwheel permits;
fyke net permits; and under ice permits
(50 CFR 100.25-27).
Our regulations at 50 CFR 100 contain
procedures for the above information
collection requirements, including the
documentation that must be submitted.
The documentation will ensure that we
have all of the information necessary to
adequately consider requests.

meeting; request for comments.
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), intend to

CCP alternatives. This notice also
announces a public open house
meeting; see SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION for the details. We issue
this notice in compliance with our CCP
policy to advise the public and other
agencies of our intentions and to obtain
suggestions and information on the
scope of issues we will consider during
the CCP planning process.
DATES: Please provide written comments
by July 13, 2009. A public open house
meeting will be held on June 16, 2009.
See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for
details.
ADDRESSES: Additional information
concerning the refuge and the CCP is
available on the Internet at https://
www.fws.gov/mcriver/. Send your
comments or requests for more
information to us as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

requires us to develop a CCP for each
national wildlife refuge and to update it
every 15 years. The purpose of
developing a CCP is to provide refuge
managers a 15-year strategy for
achieving refuge purposes and
contributing toward the mission of the
Refuge System consistent with sound
principles of fish and wildlife
management, conservation, legal
mandates, and our policies. In addition
to outlining broad management
direction for conserving refuge wildlife
and habitats, we also identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities
available to the public that are
compatible with the refuge’s
establishing purposes and the mission
of the Refuge System. These
opportunities include hunting, fishing,
wildlife observation and photography,
environmental education and
interpretation.
We will prepare an EA in accordance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.); NEPA Regulations
(40 CFR parts 1500–1508); other
appropriate Federal laws and
regulations; and our policies and
procedures for compliance with those
laws and regulations.
Each unit of the Refuge System is
established to fulfill specific purposes.
We use these purposes to develop and
prioritize management goals and
objectives within the Refuge System
mission and to guide which public uses
will occur on a refuge.
Public Involvement
As part of the CCP planning process,
we will provide opportunities for the
public, refuge neighbors, interested
individuals and organizations, Tribes,
elected officials, and local, State, and
Federal government and nongovernment
stakeholders and partners to participate
in our planning process. At this time,
we are requesting input in the form of
issues, concerns, ideas and suggestions
for the future management of the
Columbia Refuge.
