public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
USGS; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the USGS enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the USGS minimize the burden of
this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of
information technology.

Abstract: The Yukon-Kuskokwim
(YK) Delta Berry Outlook is a data and
observer driven ecological monitoring
and modeling framework that forecasts
changes in berry habitat and abundance
with environmental change. To create a
berry monitoring protocol and modeling
framework we will solicit local
knowledge of berry distribution and
abundance from members of YK delta
communities using a survey instrument.
This survey is comprised of two parts,
Part A and Part B. Part A consists of
propositions that respondents are asked
to agree or disagree with using a Likert
scale. Propositions are on the subject of
timing, abundance, and distribution of
four types of berries prevalent in the
region. Part B consists of questions
concerning the abundance of that year’s
berry harvest.
Personally Identifiable Information
(PII) will be limited to four elements:
Names, phone numbers, emails, and the
name of the village they reside in. This
PII will be collected so that researchers
may communicate project results and
solicit feedback on the project itself for
evaluation purposes. Statistical analysis
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
will be performed on the survey
responses in to ascertain if a consensus
exists among participants within
villages and among villages.
The USGS mission is to serve the
Nation by providing reliable scientific
information to describe and understand
the Earth. This project will collect
information from individuals to better
understand the abundance, distribution,
and variability of berry resources in the
Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region of
Alaska. The people of the YK delta hold
information about the long-term
distribution and abundance of berries
that is useful for understanding current
and future changes to berry habitat that
has the potential to impact wildlife
populations of the Yukon Delta region
and the Yukon Delta National Wildlife
Refuge.
Title of Collection: YukonKuskokwim Delta Berry Outlook.
OMB Control Number: 1028–0122.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals residing in Alaska Native
Villages.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 150.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 150.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Twenty-five minutes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 63.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Part A onetime; Part B annually.
Total Estimated Annual Non-hour
Burden Cost: None.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The authority for this action is the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501, et seq.).
