SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 1018–0067.
Title: Approval Procedures for
Nontoxic Shot and Shot Coatings, 50
CFR 20.134.
Service Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Description of Respondents:
Businesses that produce and/or market
approved nontoxic shot types or
nontoxic shot coatings.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1.
Completion Time per Response: 3,200
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 3,200 hours.
Estimated Annual Nonhour Cost
Burden: $25,000.
Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty
Act (MBTA) (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.)
prohibits the unauthorized take of
migratory birds and authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior to regulate take
of migratory birds in the United States.
Under this authority, we control the
hunting of migratory game birds through
regulations in 50 CFR part 20. On
January 1, 1991, we banned lead shot for
hunting waterfowl and coots in the
United States.
The regulations at 50 CFR 20.134
outline the application and approval
process for new types of nontoxic shot.
When considering approval of a
candidate material as nontoxic, we must
ensure that it is not hazardous in the
environment and that secondary
exposure (ingestion of spent shot or its
components) is not a hazard to
migratory birds. To make that decision,
we require each applicant to provide
information about the solubility and
toxicity of the candidate material.
Additionally, for law enforcement
purposes, a noninvasive field detection
device must be available to distinguish

Jkt 226001
candidate shot from lead shot. This
information constitutes the bulk of an
application for approval of nontoxic
shot. The Director uses the data in the
application to decide whether or not to
approve a material as nontoxic.
Comments: On September 26, 2011,
we published in the Federal Register
(76 FR 59421) 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 November 25, 2011. We
received one comment. The commenter
opposed expending funds to support the
approval of nontoxic shot, and stated
that a survey is not needed. This
information collection is not a survey. It
consists of risk assessments, toxicity
tests, and background information that
an applicant must submit in order for us
to determine whether or not a proposed
shot is nontoxic. We did not make any
changes to our information collection
requirements.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. 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 OMB in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that it will be done.

Abstract: We collect information on
FWS Form 3–2349 (Alaska Guide
Service Evaluation) to help us evaluate
commercial guide services on our
national wildlife refuges in the State of
Alaska (State). The National Wildlife
Refuge Administration Act of 1966, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 668dd–ee),
authorizes us to permit uses, including
commercial visitor services, on national
wildlife refuges when we find the
activity to be compatible with the
purposes for which the refuge was
established. With the objective of
making available a variety of quality
visitor services for wildlife-dependent
recreation on National Wildlife Refuge
System lands, we issue permits for
commercial guide services, including
big game hunting, sport fishing, wildlife
viewing, river trips, and other guided
activities. We use FWS Form 3–2349 as
a method to:
(1) Monitor the quality of services
provided by commercial guides.
(2) Gauge client satisfaction with the
services.
(3) Assess the impacts of the activity
on refuge resources.
The client is the best source of
information on the quality of
commercial guiding services. We
collect:
(1) Client name.
(2) Guide name(s).
(3) Type of guided activity.
(4) Dates and location of guided
activity.
(5) Information on the services
received such as the client’s
expectations, safety, environmental
impacts, and client’s overall
satisfaction.
We encourage respondents to provide
any additional comments that they wish
regarding the guide service or refuge
experience, and ask whether or not they
wish to be contacted for additional
information.
The above information, in
combination with State-required guide
activity reports and contacts with guides
and clients in the field, provides a
comprehensive method for monitoring
permitted commercial guide activities.
A regular program of client evaluation
helps refuge managers detect potential
problems with guide services so that we
can take corrective actions promptly. In

addition, we use this information during
the competitive selection process for big
game and sport fishing guide permits to
evaluate an applicant’s ability to
provide a quality guiding service.

we published in the Federal Register
(76 FR 59420) a notice of our intent to
