Title: Science and Technology
Collection of Qualitative Feedback.
OMB Control Number: 1640–0018.
Type of Information Collection:
Extension without change of a currently
approved collection Agency form
number, if any, and the applicable
component of the DHS sponsoring the
collection: [INSERT FORM NUMBER],
Science and Technology Directorate,
Department of Homeland Security.
Respondents: Individuals.
Total Estimated Number of
Respondents: An estimated 400,000
respondents will take the survey.
Total Estimated Burden Time:
200,000 hours.

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary.
Summary: S&T’s mission is to deliver
effective and innovative insight,
methods, and solutions for the critical
needs of the Homeland Security
Enterprise. As the research and
development (R&D) arm of the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), the Science and Technology
Directorate (S&T) focuses on providing
the tools, technologies, and knowledge
products the nation’s Homeland
Security Enterprise needs today and
tomorrow. S&T constantly works to
bridge industry and end-user
communities around the nation. S&T’s
R&D focus areas cover DHS’s core
mission areas and use our network of
industry, national laboratory and other
partners seek solutions for capability
gaps and define topics for future
research. In order to work continuously
to ensure that our programs are effective
and meet our customers’ needs, S&T
seeks to obtain Office of Management
and Budget approval of a generic
clearance to collect qualitative feedback
on our service delivery. By qualitative
feedback, we mean information that
provides useful insights on perceptions
and opinions, but are not statistical
surveys that yield quantitative results
that can be generalized to the
population of study. This collection of
information is necessary to enable the
S&T programs to garner customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with our
commitment to improving tools,
technologies, services and knowledge
products. The information collected
from our customers and stakeholders
will help ensure that users have an
effective, efficient, and satisfying
experience with our programs. This

feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences, and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with products
or service, or focus attention on areas
where communication, training or
changes in operations might improve
delivery of products or services. These
collections will allow for ongoing,
collaborative, and actionable
communications between S&T and its
customers and stakeholders. It will also
allow feedback to contribute directly to
the improvement of program
management. Executive Order 12862
directs Federal agencies to provide
service to the public that matches or
exceeds the best service available in the
private sector.
There is no cost to participants other
than their time.
J. Jeffrey Robinson,
Deputy Chief Information Officer, Science
and Technology Directorate, Department of
Homeland Security.

or by telephone at (703) 358–2503. You
may review the ICR online at https://
www.reginfo.gov. Follow the
instructions to review Department of the
Interior collections under review by
OMB. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.) and its implementing regulations
at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), 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 June 22, 2022, we published in the
Federal Register (87 FR 37355) a notice
of our intent to request that OMB
approve this information collection. In
that notice, we solicited comments for
60 days, ending on August 22, 2022. 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 Regulations.gov
(Docket No. FWS–R7–NWRS–2022–
0078) 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 received one comment in
response to that notice which did not
address the information collection
requirements. No response to that
comment is required.
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
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 administration and uses
of national wildlife refuges and wetland
management districts are governed by
the National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966
(Administration Act; 16 U.S.C. 668dd–
668ee), as amended by the National
Wildlife Refuge System Improvement
Act of 1997; the Refuge Recreation Act
of 1962 (Recreation Act; 16 U.S.C. 460k–
460k–4); and the Alaska National
Interest Lands Conservation Act
(ANILCA; 16 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.).
ANILCA provides specific authorization
and guidance for the administration and
management of national wildlife refuges
within the State of Alaska.
Renewal of OMB’s approval
authorizes the Yukon Delta National
Wildlife Refuge (YDNWR) to participate
in the design and implementation of
subsistence fisher surveys operated by
the Orutsararmiut Traditional Native
Council and the Kuskokwim River InterTribal Fisheries Commission (KRITFC).
Participation in the surveys informs in-

season fisheries management decisionmaking in the Kuskokwim River
subsistence salmon fishery.
The information collected by the
survey includes the times individuals
left and returned from boat launches,
several characteristics of their fishing
gear, broad classification of where the
fishing activity occurred, for how long
they actively fished, and how many of
each of three salmon species they
harvested. When coupled with aerial
boat counts performed by the YDNWR,
these data can be used to obtain
quantitative estimates of total fishing
activity and salmon harvest occurring
from short-duration subsistence harvest
opportunities. The estimates are then
used to inform the management strategy
used jointly by the YDNWR and the
KRITFC.
Title of Collection: In-Season
Subsistence Salmon Fishery Catch and
Effort Survey.
OMB Control Number: 1018–0173.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Renewal without
change of an existing information
collection.

Subsistence fishers within the Yukon
Delta National Wildlife Refuge.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 1,014.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1,014.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 5 minutes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 85 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: None.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The authority for this action is the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
