SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our 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.
On November 21, 2019 we published
a Federal Register notice soliciting
comments on this collection of
information for 60 days, ending on
January 21, 2020 (84 FR 64336). We
received one comment via email, on
January 21, 2020 from the State of
Alaska ANILCA Implementation
Program that represented the
consolidated views of state resource
agencies. No actions were required.
We are again 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 to 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: Under the provisions of the
Alaska National Interest Lands
Conservation Act (ANILCA), qualified
rural residents are provided the
opportunity to harvest fish, wildlife,
and other subsistence resources in
national parks, preserves and
monuments in Alaska. This collection
gathers information on subsistence
harvest patterns and the impact of rural
economy from resident zone
communities associated with Alaskan
parks, preserves, and monuments. This
information collection is authorized by
the NPS Management Policies 2006,
Section 8.11.1, which states that social
science research will be used to provide
an understanding of park visitors, the
non-visiting public, gateway
communities and regions, and human
interactions with park resources. The
NPS is seeking an extension to continue
to survey Alaska residents who
customarily and traditionally engage in
subsistence activities within NPS units.
In 2012, a survey was conducted in
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and
Preserve and Gates of the Arctic
National Park and Preserve to
understand the effects of subsistence
harvesting. In 2017, this collection
increased the scope of inquiry and was
updated to include the following
Alaskan National Parks, Preserves, and
Monuments:
• Aniakchak National Monument
(ANIA)
• Bering Land Bridge National Preserve
(BELA)
• Cape Krusenstern National Monument
(CAKR)

• Gates of the Arctic National Park and
Preserve (GAAR)
• Kobuk Valley National Park (KOVA)
• Noatak National Preserve (NOAT)
• Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and
Preserve (WRST)
• Yukon-Charley Rivers National
Preserve (YUCH)
To conduct the surveys, a facilitator
uses in-person interviews to collect
information about harvests, uses, and
sharing of subsistence resources. Search
and harvest areas are also mapped over
the course of the interview. At the end
of the study, reports are provided to
park managers, state and other federal
agencies involved in management of
subsistence resources, citizen advisory
groups, and the surveyed communities
describing levels and patterns of
subsistence uses in these parks.
Information from this collection is also
used by the Federal Subsistence Board
and the State of Alaska in making
recommendations and decisions
regarding seasons and harvest limits of
fish, wildlife, and plants in the regions
