SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the PRA 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.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on March
31, 2022 (87 FR 18809). We received
one comment. The comment did not
address information collection, so no
action was taken.
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 the agency might 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 personally identifiable
information (PII) in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your PII may be
made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your PII from public review,
we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.

Abstract: This collection seeks to
gather information on harvest and
satisfaction from waterfowl hunters on
the open waters of Green Bay and Lake
Michigan. From 2021 through 2025, the
Wisconsin waterfowl hunting season
had and will have a North, South, and
Open Water Zone. The Open Water
Zone will be specific to the offshore
open waters of Lake Michigan and
Green Bay. Specific regulations for this
new zone, which starts 500 feet offshore
and extends to the Wisconsin-Michigan
state boundary, can be modified during
the five-year period and input from
hunters will provide critical information
to improve hunter satisfaction. Former
survey methods used to gather
information on the season frameworks
preferred by hunters under the 2016–
2020 season structure cannot be applied
to the Open Water Zone; thus, USGS
plans to conduct both in-person and
online surveys targeted toward openwater hunters to gather their input on
season frameworks. Surveys will also be
used to inform managers on what,
where, and how many species of
waterfowl are harvested in this openwater environment. Wisconsin
waterfowl managers will use
information collected from this survey
to assist in developing season
frameworks within this zone and
provide information on harvest
composition.
Title of Collection: Hunter Harvest
and Satisfaction Surveys on Green Bay
and Lake Michigan.
OMB Control Number: 1028–NEW.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: New.
Respondents/Affected Public:

Burden Hours: 100.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Occur each
time they hunt the open waters of Green
Bay and/or Lake Michigan.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: None.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, nor is a person required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The authority for this

leasing process to the fullest extent
practicable.
After careful consideration, the
Department of the Interior (DOI) has
selected the Preferred Alternative in the
Lease Sale 258 FEIS. The Preferred
Alternative combines the two critical
habitat exclusion alternatives and three
mitigation alternatives: Alternative 3A
(Beluga Whale Critical Habitat
Exclusion), Alternative 3C (Beluga
Whale Nearshore Feeding Areas
Mitigation), Alternative 4A (Northern
Sea Otter Critical Habitat Exclusion),
Alternative 4B (Northern Sea Otter
Critical Habitat Mitigation), and
Alternative 5 (Gillnet Fishery
Mitigation).
The Preferred Alternative will offer
for lease 193 unleased OCS blocks
(approximately 387,771 hectares (ha) or
958,202 acres). The Preferred
Alternative excludes the 17 OCS blocks
wholly or partially overlapping beluga
whale and northern sea otter critical
habitats. The Preferred Alternative also
applies additional mitigation measures
to reduce potential impacts to beluga
whales and their critical habitat and
feeding areas, sea otters and their
critical habitat, and the gillnet fishery.
Each of these mitigations will be
implemented through lease stipulations
to applicable leases. The selection of the
Preferred Alternative includes the
following exclusions and mitigation
measures, described as alternatives in
the FEIS:
Beluga Whale Critical Habitat
Exclusion (Alternative 3A)
This exclusion applies to the 10 OCS
blocks that overlap with the ‘‘Area 2’’
beluga whale critical habitat at the
northern tip of the proposed sale area
analyzed in the Lease Sale 258 FEIS.
These OCS blocks will not be offered for
lease and represent approximately 0.85
percent of the total area of the beluga
whale critical habitat.
Beluga Whale Nearshore Feeding Areas
Mitigation (Alternative 3C)
This mitigation measure creates
temporal restrictions for on-lease
seismic survey activities within the
Lease Sale Area. On all 193 OCS blocks
being offered for lease, no on-lease
marine seismic surveys will be
conducted between November 1 and
April 1, when beluga whales are most
likely to be present and distributed
across the Lease Sale Area. The
Protection of Beluga Whales Stipulation
will be included on all leases issued as
a result of Lease Sale 258.
Additionally, for blocks located
within 10 miles of major anadromous
streams, lessees will not conduct on-
PO 00000

lease marine seismic surveys between
July 1 and September 30, when beluga
whales are migrating to and from their
summer feeding areas. The Protection of
Beluga Whale Nearshore Feeding Areas
Stipulation will be included on any
leases issued for blocks located within
10 miles of major anadromous streams.
Northern Sea Otter Critical Habitat
Exclusion (Alternative 4A)
This exclusion applies to the 7 OCS
blocks that overlap with the northern
sea otter southwest Alaska distinct
population segment (SW DPS) critical
habitat within the proposed sale area
analyzed in the Lease Sale 258 FEIS.
These OCS blocks will not be offered for
lease.
Northern Sea Otter Critical Habitat
Mitigation (Alternative 4B)
This mitigation measure prohibits
lessees from discharging drilling fluids
and cuttings and conducting seafloor
disturbing activities (including
anchoring and placement of bottomfounded structures) within 1,000 meters
of areas designated as northern sea otter
critical habitat. The Protection of
Northern Sea Otter SW DPS Critical
Habitat Stipulation will be included on
any leases issued on the 7 OCS blocks
within 1,000 meters of northern sea
otter critical habitat.
Gillnet Fishery Mitigation (Alternative
5)
This mitigation measure applies to the
97 OCS blocks (whole or partial) located
north of Anchor Point within the Lease
Sale Area to reduce the potential for
conflicts with the drift gillnet fishery.
Lessees are prohibited from conducting
on-lease seismic surveys during the drift
gillnetting season as designated by the
Alaska Department of Fish and Game
(ADF&G) (approximately mid-June to
mid-August). In addition, lessees are
advised that the Cook Inlet drift gillnet
fishery typically operates on Mondays
and Thursdays during the drift
gillnetting season as designated by the
ADF&G. Lessees are required to notify
the United Cook Inlet Drift Association
(UCIDA) of any temporary or permanent
structures planned during the drift
gillnetting season. Lessees are
encouraged to coordinate with the
UCIDA to avoid conflicts. The
Protection of Gillnet Fishery Stipulation
will be included on any leases issued
for these blocks.
Each of these Alternatives will be
implemented through exclusions or
lease stipulations, which would apply
to all or some of the OCS blocks offered
for lease. For each of the lease
stipulations described above, lessees
