Individuals in the United States who are
deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have
a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY,
TDD, or TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services.
Individuals outside the United States
should use the relay services offered
within their country to make
international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.) and its implementing regulations
at 5 CFR 1320, all information
collections require approval under the
PRA. We may not conduct or sponsor
and you are not required to respond to
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
On September 30, 2021, we published
in the Federal Register (86 FR 54230) a
notice of our intent to request that OMB
approve this information collection. In
that notice, we solicited comments for
60 days, ending on November 29, 2021.
In an effort to increase public awareness
of, and participation in, our public
commenting processes associated with
information collection requests, the
Service also published the Federal
Register notice on https://
www.regulations.gov (Docket FWS–HQ–
IRTM–2021–0110) to provide the public
with an additional method to submit
comments (in addition to the typical
Info_Coll@fws.gov email and U.S. mail
submission methods). We did not
receive any comments in response to
that notice.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other
Federal agencies 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
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
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. 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: The Service collects and
maintains necessary geospatial data to
meet our mission in accordance with
the following authorities:
• Federal Funding Accountability
and Transparency Act of 2006, as
amended (31 U.S.C. 6101);
• Geospatial Data Act of 2018 (43
U.S.C. chapter 46, 2801–2811);
• National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–

• Open, Public, Electronic, and
Necessary (OPEN) Government Data Act
(44 U.S.C. 3506(b)(6));
• Title II of the Foundations for
Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of
2018 (Pub. L. 115–435);
• OMB Circular A–16, ‘‘Coordination
of Geographic Information and Related
Spatial Data Activities’’;

Information as a Strategic Resource.’’
Geospatial data identify and depict
geographic locations, boundaries, and
characteristics of features on the surface
of the earth. Geospatial data includes
geographic coordinates (e.g., latitude
and longitude) to identify the location of
earth’s features, and data associated to
geographic locations (e.g., land survey
data and land cover type data). The
Service’s organizational ArcGIS online
program (AGOL), accessed at https://
fws.maps.arcgis.com, is an easy place to
share data with the public and partners,
as well as internally among Service
staff. It can also be used to build and
deploy mobile-enabled online maps,
applications, and services for
geographic information systems (GIS)
users and non-GIS users alike. Sensitive
data is restricted from public access via
an internal-facing intranet version of
AGOL. Moreover, because the system
contains only controlled unclassified
information (CUI) that would be
designated as low impact under the
Federal Information Security Act
(FISMA; 2002), no personally
identifiable information (PII) is allowed
within the system.
The AGOL platform enables the
Service to effectively manage geospatial
data resources and technology to
successfully deliver geospatial services
in support of the Service’s mission. Data
collected through AGOL enables
improved visualization, analysis,
interoperability, modeling, sharing, and
decision support. The benefits include
increased accuracy, increased
productivity, and more efficient
information management and
application support.
In addition to collecting name and
contact information, additional
comments about the submission, and
photographs (optional), we collect the
following types of data from our
partners through AGOL to improve our
online maps, web-mapping
applications, and story maps (data
collected is specific to a particular
project; we will not collect all data types
below with each submission):
• Road crossing data, to include data
such as location data, global positioning
system (GPS) coordinates, stream name
and stream flow, road name, structure
type and quantity, road surface type and
condition, issues present at crossing,
and name and contact.
• Stream crossing data, to include
data such as location/description, GPS
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:01 Mar 28, 2022
Jkt 256001
coordinates, crossing type, structures/
barriers, inlet/outlet information, and
stream flow type and condition.
• Conservation project data, to
include data such as project title and
description, partner names and contact
information, start and end dates for
project, whether project is new or
updated, cost of project, relevant
website information, geographical
location of project, project species data,
project strategy (e.g., protect habitat,
reduce human conflicts, climate change,
etc.), and links to project reports.
• Reporting locations and/or status of
Service assets (such as trails, roads,
gates, etc.), invasive species, dead
animals, trash on public lands, and
possible hazards.
• Observations of wildlife
occurrences, including location, species,
observer, counts, and other physical
characteristics of interest.
• Vegetation monitoring data, which
would include the condition of the
resource, abundance, lifeform, and
more.
We use the information collected from
our partners to support critical
geospatial services for Service
programs/functions, such as:
Endangered Species and Fisheries &
Habitat Conservation
• Monitoring the extent and status of
wetlands for management, research,
policy development, education, and

Geospatial data identify and depict geographic locations,
boundaries, and characteristics of features on the surface of the
earth. Geospatial data includes geographic coordinates (e.g., latitude
and longitude) to identify the location of earth's features, and data
associated to geographic locations (e.g., land survey data and land
cover type data). The Service's organizational ArcGIS online program
(AGOL), accessed at https://fws.maps.arcgis.com, is an easy place to
share data with the public and partners, as well as internally among
Service staff. It can also be used to build and deploy mobile-enabled
online maps, applications, and services for geographic information
systems (GIS) users and non-GIS users alike. Sensitive data is
restricted from public access via an internal-facing intranet version
of AGOL. Moreover, because the system contains only controlled
unclassified information (CUI) that would be designated as low impact
under the Federal Information Security Act (FISMA; 2002), no personally

The AGOL platform enables the Service to effectively manage
geospatial data resources and technology to successfully deliver
geospatial services in support of the Service's mission. Data collected
through AGOL enables improved visualization, analysis,
interoperability, modeling, sharing, and decision support. The benefits
include increased accuracy, increased productivity, and more efficient
information management and application support.
In addition to collecting name and contact information, additional
comments about the submission, and photographs (optional), we collect
the following types of data from our partners through AGOL to improve
our online maps, web-mapping applications, and story maps (data
collected is specific to a particular project; we will not collect all
data types below with each submission):
Road crossing data, to include data such as location data,
global positioning system (GPS) coordinates, stream name and stream
flow, road name, structure type and quantity, road surface type and
condition, issues present at crossing, and name and contact.
Stream crossing data, to include data such as location/
description, GPS coordinates, crossing type, structures/barriers,
inlet/outlet information, and stream flow type and condition.
Conservation project data, to include data such as project
title and description, partner names and contact information, start and
end dates for project, whether project is new or updated, cost of
project, relevant website information, geographical location of
project, project species data, project strategy (e.g., protect habitat,
reduce human conflicts, climate change, etc.), and links to project
reports.
Reporting locations and/or status of Service assets (such
as trails, roads, gates, etc.), invasive species, dead animals, trash
on public lands, and possible hazards.
Observations of wildlife occurrences, including location,
species, observer, counts, and other physical characteristics of
interest.
Vegetation monitoring data, which would include the
condition of the resource, abundance, lifeform, and more.
We use the information collected from our partners to support
critical geospatial services for Service programs/functions, such as:
Endangered Species and Fisheries & Habitat Conservation
Monitoring the extent and status of wetlands for
management, research, policy development, education, and planning
through the National Wetlands Inventory (https://www.fws.gov/wetlands/
).
Performing natural resources damage assessments (NRDAs),
