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.
In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA; 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.) and its implementing regulations
in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) 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 February 9, 2023, we published in
the Federal Register (88 FR 8448) a
notice of our intent to request that OMB
approve this information collection. In
that notice, we solicited comments for
60 days, ending on April 10, 2023. 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–R5–NWRS–2022–
0152) 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 anonymous
comment in response to that notice
which did not address the information
collection requirements. Therefore, no
response is required to that comment.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again inviting 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. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your that your
entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be 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 has overall
Federal responsibility for managing the
Nation’s fish and wildlife resources.
Part of the Service’s mission is to
provide the public with wildlife-based
outdoor recreation opportunities on
National Wildlife Refuges, National Fish
Hatcheries, and other Service lands
(collectively, refuges). These outdoor
recreation opportunities include
hunting, which is an important
opportunity for people to connect with
nature, harvest food, and assist the
Service in managing wildlife
populations.
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act, as amended by the
National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act (the Act; 16 U.S.C.
668dd et seq.) stipulates that refuges
undergo a comprehensive conservation
planning process that, among other
things, must look at the compatibility of
wildlife-dependent recreation
(including hunting) on refuges. We will
use the information from the proposed
survey effort to inform planning on
refuges as mandated by the Act.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 106 / Friday, June 2, 2023 / Notices
Hunting on refuges is regulated by
both State and Federal laws, as well as
through refuge-specific regulations.
These refuge-specific regulations are
made in accordance with hunt plans
required to be developed for each
refuge. These hunt plans outline refugespecific bag limits, season dates, areas
open and closed to hunting, allowed
hunting time, and other requirements.
The hunt plans are an important tool
that refuges use to manage harvest,
safety, and visitor experience.
Creating hunt plans relies on sound
biological and social data.
Understanding hunter experience,
preference, and harvest helps refuge
managers and planners tailor hunt plans
to suit biological and visitor objectives
and maintain a safe environment for
hunters and non-hunting visitors.
To ensure the surveys were
comprehensive, the Service convened
an interdisciplinary team made up of
biologists, managers, visitor services
specialists, social scientists, and law
enforcement officers. The team
identified data gaps needed to inform
future hunt plan development,
identified safety concerns, and
considered methods to better
understand hunter preference in order
to improve visitor experience.
