In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), 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 June 1, 2020, we published in the
Federal Register (85 FR 33192) a notice
of our intent to request that OMB
approve this information collection. In
that notice, we solicited comments for
60 days, ending on July 31, 2020. We
did not receive any comments in
response to that notice.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
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 us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

stations fulfill U.S. obligations under
the Convention on Great Lakes Fisheries
Between the United States of America
and Canada, Washington, 1954, and the
Great Lakes Fishery Act of 1956 (16
U.S.C. 931 et seq.). The Service works
with State, Tribal, and other Federal
agencies to monitor progress towards
fish community objectives for sea
lampreys in each of the Great Lakes, and
also to develop and implement actions
to achieve these objectives. Activities
are closely coordinated with those of
State, Tribal, and other Federal and
provincial management agencies,
nongovernmental organizations, private
landowners, and the public. Our
primary goal is to conduct ecologically
sound and publicly acceptable
integrated sea lamprey control.
The Sea Lamprey Control Program is
administered and funded by the Great
Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC) and
implemented by two control agents, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and
Fisheries and Oceans Canada, who often
partner on larger projects. The sea
lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), a
parasitic fish species native to the
Atlantic Ocean, parasitizes other fish
species by sucking their blood and other
bodily fluids. Having survived through
at least four major extinction events, the
species has remained largely unchanged
for more than 340 million years. The sea
lamprey differs from many other fishes,
in that it does not have jaws or other
bony structures, but instead has a
skeleton made of cartilage. Sea lampreys
prey on most species of large Great
Lakes fish such as lake trout, salmon,
lake sturgeon, whitefish, burbot,
walleye, and catfish.
In the 1800s, sea lampreys invaded
the Great Lakes system via manmade
locks and shipping canals. Their
aggressive behavior and appetite for fish
blood wreaked havoc on native fish
populations, decimating an already
vulnerable lake trout fishery. The first
recorded observation of a sea lamprey in
the Great Lakes was in 1835 in Lake
Ontario. For a time, Niagara Falls served
as a natural barrier, confining sea
lampreys to Lake Ontario and
preventing them from entering the
remaining four Great Lakes. However, in
the early 1900s, modifications were
made to the Welland Canal, which
bypasses Niagara Falls and provides a
shipping connection between Lakes
Ontario and Erie. These modifications
allowed sea lampreys access to the rest
of the Great Lakes system. Within a
short time, sea lampreys spread
throughout the system: Into Lake Erie by
1921, Lakes Michigan and Huron by
1936 and 1937, and Lake Superior by
1938. Sea lampreys were able to thrive
once they invaded the Great Lakes
because of the availability of excellent
spawning and larval habitat, an
abundance of host fish, a lack of
predators, and their high reproductive
potential—a single female can produce
as many as 100,000 eggs.
The Sea Lamprey Control Program
(SLCP) maintains an internal database.
In existence for more than 20 years, it
contains information critical to the
delivery and evaluation of an integrated
control program to manage invasive sea
lamprey populations in the five Great

Lakes. The storage of data in this
database not only documents the history
of the SLCP since inception in 1953, but
it also provides data to steer assessment
and control of invasive sea lamprey
populations in the Great Lakes in
partnership with the GLFC. We provide
annual population data to Federal and
State regulatory agencies to inform
critical evaluations used to issue
permits to allow sea lamprey control
actions. The SLCP database maintains
the points of contact for landowners to
request landowner permission to access
their land for treatment. The Service
collects basic contact information for
the landowner (name, home address,
phone number, cell phone number, and
email address), along with alternate
contact information, whether they allow
access to their land, methods of
transportation allowed on property,
whether a gate key or gate combination
is needed to access the land, whether
the landowner irrigates the land, and an
opportunity to ask additional questions
about treatment or sea lamprey
management.
