SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Management
Information System.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0335.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: In accordance with the Act
of March 2, 1931 (46 Stat. 1468–1469; 7
U.S.C. 8351 to 8352, as amended) and
the Act of December 22, 1987 (Pub. L.
100–202, 101(k), 101 Stat. 1329–331, 7
U.S.C. 8353) and 16 U.S.C. 667, the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS), Wildlife Services (WS)
officers, agents, and employees are
authorized to conduct a program of
wildlife services that resolves conflicts
to allow people and wildlife to coexist.
To conduct these services, WS enter
into agreements with States, local
jurisdictions, individuals, and public
and private agencies, organizations, and
institutions.
WS is responsible for assisting the
public with mitigating wildlife damage.
Through its technical assistance
approach, WS offers advice through
telephone or onsite consultations,
training sessions, demonstration
projects, and other means. Mitigation
activities are then performed by the
requester. WS also provides a
cooperative direct control approach
where goods, services, and expertise are
provided on a cost-reimbursable basis.
WS collects only information needed to
determine appropriate courses of action
for providing effective services.
Information is used by the agency to:
• Identify cooperators appropriately;
• Identify lands on which WS
personnel will work;
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• Differentiate between cooperators
(i.e., property owners, land managers, or
resource owners) who request assistance
to manage damage caused by wildlife;
• Identify the land areas on which
wildlife damage management activities
would be conducted;
• Identify the relationship between
resources or property, WS’ protection of
such resources or property, and the
damage caused by wildlife;
• Determine the methods or damage
management activities to deal with the
damage;
• Establish a record that a cooperative
agreement has been entered into with a
cooperator;
• Document that permission has been
obtained from landowners to go on the
cooperator’s property;
• Record wildlife damage occurrences
on cooperator’s property and steps to
address them;
• Record occurrences that may have
affected non-target species or humans
during, or related to, WS project actions;
and
• Determine satisfaction with service
to help WS evaluate, modify, and
improve its programs.
Information collection activities
include work initiation documents,
assistance requests, project reports,
order forms and sales records,
equipment issuances, migratory bird
damage reports, reports of injury or
death to non-target animals, accident
reports, and pilot proficiency reviews.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities, as described, for an
additional 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 59 / Monday, March 28, 2022 / Notices
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic

Estimate of burden: The public
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 0.05 hours per
response.
Respondents: State, local, and Tribal
governments; businesses, not-for-profits,
and other public sector organizations;
and individuals who request services
from WS or engage in wildlife damage
management projects with WS.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 77,715.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 86,277.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 4,003 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 23rd day of
March 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Secure Rural Schools Act.
OMB Number: 0596–0220.
Type of Request: Renewal with
revisions of a currently approved
information collection and New Title II
Project Proposal Form.
Abstract: The Secure Rural Schools
and Community Self-Determination Act
of 2000 (the Act) (16 U.S.C. 7101 et
seq.), as reauthorized in Public Law
117–58, requires the appropriate official
PO 00000
Frm 00002

of a county that receives funds under
Title III of the Act to submit to the
appropriate Secretary an annual
certification that the funds expended
have been used as authorized. The
appropriate official of each participating
county will be requested to report the
amount of Title III funds expended in
the applicable year in these categories as
specified in the Act:
(1) To carry out authorized activities
under the Firewise Communities
Program;
(2) To reimburse the participating
county for search and rescue and other
emergency services, including
firefighting and law enforcement
patrols;
(3) To provide or expand access to
broadband telecommunications services
at local schools or the technology and
connectivity necessary for students to
use a digital learning tool at or outside
of the local school campus;
(4) To cover training costs and
equipment purchases directly related to
the emergency service described in
paragraph (2); and
(5) To develop and carry out
community wildfire protection plans.
The information collection will identify
the participating county, the year in
which the expenditures were made, the
name, title, and signature of the
certifying official, and the date of the
certification. The certification will
include a statement that all
expenditures were for uses authorized
under the Act and that the proposed
uses were published and had a 60-day
comment period and were submitted to
the appropriate Secure Rural Schools
Act resource advisory committee(s), if
any, as described in Section 302(b) of
the Act.
The information collection will
request the county to certify the amount
of Title III funds received since October
of 2008 that has not been obligated as
of September 30th of the previous year.
This collection is necessary in the
certification due on February 1 the
following year after payments are
received to determine the amount of
Title III funds that must be returned to
the United States Treasury under
section 304(b) of the Act. Collection of
this information is consistent with a
recent audit of county uses of Title III
funds by the Government
Accountability Office (https://
www.gao.gov/products/GAO-12-775). A
county’s procedure for and
documentation of its obligation of Title
III funds should be consistent with its
procedures to obligate funds from other
Federal sources.
The information collection will
request the county to certify the amount
