B. Solicitation of Public Comment
This notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected
parties concerning the collection of
information described in Section A on
the following:
(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those

Abstract: Under section 101(b) of the
Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972,
as amended (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361–
1407), Alaska Natives residing in Alaska
and dwelling on the coast of the North
Pacific or Arctic Oceans may harvest
polar bears, northern sea otters, and
Pacific walruses for subsistence or
handicraft purposes. Section 109(i) of
the MMPA authorizes the Secretary of
the Interior to prescribe marking,
tagging, and reporting regulations
applicable to the Alaska Native
subsistence and handicraft take.
On behalf of the Secretary, we
implemented regulations at 50 CFR
18.23(f) for Alaska Natives harvesting
polar bears, northern sea otters, and
Pacific walruses. These regulations
enable us to gather data on the Alaska
Native subsistence and handicraft
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
harvest and on the biology of polar
bears, northern sea otters, and Pacific
walruses in Alaska to determine what
effect such take may be having on these
populations. The regulations also
provide us with a means of monitoring
the disposition of the harvest to ensure
that any commercial use of products
created from these species meets the
criteria set forth in section 101(b) of the
MMPA.
We collect harvest information related
to Alaska Native harvest to provide a
chronology of the harvest in population
modeling, determining which cohorts
are being killed, determining the status
of populations, and predicting
population trends. We will use the
collected information to gain insight
into the distribution and relative
abundance of the three species, the level
and intensity of the harvest, and the
harvest impacts on the species and their
subpopulations. We use three Service
forms to collect the following
information from Alaska Natives as part
of the harvest reporting requirement:
A. Form 3–2414, ‘‘Polar Bear Tagging
Certificates’’: Form 3–2414 collects the
following information:
• Date and location of tagging;
• Hide and skull tag number;
• Village hunted from (if different
from tagging location);
• Age class and sex;
• Whether sex could be verified by
tagger and, if yes, sex identification
information;
• Skull measurements (length, width,
or not provided);
• Whether cubs were present with
sow and, if yes, how many cubs;
• Bear condition (obese, average,
skinny);
• Specimens collected (tooth, hair,
skin, liver, fat, muscle, skin/muscle,
baculum/penis bone, or other);
• Research marks/tags (collar, ear tag
number, lip tattoo, or other);
• Date and location of kill (to include
latitude/longitude);
• Whether it was a conflict or
problem bear and whether it was taken
in defense of life;
• Additional remarks; and
• Whether hunter is available for
post-hunt interview and, if yes, phone
number, with the following post-hunt
interview questions for problem bear
situations:
a. Was there a food source/attractant
that the bear was interested in? What
was the attractant?
b. Was there any attempt to haze the
bear to get it to leave?
c. Was it believed that the bear could
be a threat to people?
Note: We would only ask these typical
post-hunt questions if the biologist needed

Frm 00075
Fmt 4703

information on a bear that was marked as a
problem bear. There is no standardized
questioning.
B. Form 3–2415, ‘‘Walrus Tagging
Certificates’’: Form 3–2415 collects the
following information:
• Date and location of tagging;
• Village hunted from (if different
than tagging location);
• Marine Mammals Management
Marking, Tagging, and Reporting
Program (MTRP) tag number of plasticheaded wire tag used for left or right
tusk;
• Type of take for walrus (LK = live
killed, BF = beach found)—This
information increases the accuracy of
the known mortality and harvest data by
discriminating between a walrus killed
for subsistence purposes or found dead
and salvaged. Requiring all ivory that
has been taken or collected (pursuant to
the Alaska Native exemption) to be
marked, tagged, and reported simplifies
Service enforcement efforts.
• Date and location killed/found;
• Age and sex;
• Walrus tusk length and
circumference;
• Number of walrus harvested
without tusks; and
• Additional remarks.
C. Form 3–2416, ‘‘Sea Otter Tagging
Certificates’’: Form 3–2416 collects the
following information:
• Date and location of tagging;
• Hide and skull tag number;
• FWS permit number;
• Age class and sex;
• Details identification information;
• Specimens collected (tooth, muscle
vial, whisker, carcass, or other);
• Number of otters present in pod and
number harvested from pod;
• Date and location of kill (to include
latitude and longitude); and
• Additional remarks.
We also require non-Native collectors
to use Form 3–2406, ‘‘Non-Native
Marine Mammal Certificates.’’ The
collection of information via Form 3–
2406 allows the Service to track
individuals who register (within 30
days) beach-found hard parts to
determine whether the take of marine
mammal hard parts is legal. We use the
below listed information collected via
Form 3–2406 to verify whether it is legal
for the individual to retain them:
• Date and location of tagging;
• MTRP tag number of plastic-headed
wire tag used for left or right tusk;
• Date found;
• Age and sex;
• Tusk circumference at gum line and
tusk length from gum line to tip along
front side following the curve of the
tusk;
• Exact location of kill or find;
E:\FR\FM\26JYN1.SGM

48262
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 142 / Wednesday, July 26, 2023 / Notices
• Tag number for skull (polar bear or

• Any information of interest about
the beach-found hard part collected;
• Other remarks; and
• Name, address, phone number, and
date of birth of the person who collected
the hard part.

Abstract: Under section 101(b) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act
of 1972, as amended (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361-1407), Alaska Natives
residing in Alaska and dwelling on the coast of the North Pacific or
Arctic Oceans may harvest polar bears, northern sea otters, and Pacific
walruses for subsistence or handicraft purposes. Section 109(i) of the
MMPA authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to prescribe marking,
tagging, and reporting regulations applicable to the Alaska Native
subsistence and handicraft take.
On behalf of the Secretary, we implemented regulations at 50 CFR
18.23(f) for Alaska Natives harvesting polar bears, northern sea
otters, and Pacific walruses. These regulations enable us to gather
data on the Alaska Native subsistence and handicraft harvest and on the
biology of polar bears, northern sea otters, and Pacific walruses in
Alaska to determine what effect such take may be having on these
populations. The regulations also provide us with a means of monitoring
the disposition of the harvest to ensure that any commercial use of
products created from these species meets the criteria set forth in
section 101(b) of the MMPA.
We collect harvest information related to Alaska Native harvest to
provide a chronology of the harvest in population modeling, determining
which cohorts are being killed, determining the status of populations,
and predicting population trends. We will use the collected information
to gain insight into the distribution and relative abundance of the
three species, the level and intensity of the harvest, and the harvest
impacts on the species and their subpopulations. We use three Service
forms to collect the following information from Alaska Natives as part
of the harvest reporting requirement:
A. Form 3-2414, ``Polar Bear Tagging Certificates'': Form 3-2414
collects the following information:
Date and location of tagging;
Hide and skull tag number;
Village hunted from (if different from tagging location);
Age class and sex;
Whether sex could be verified by tagger and, if yes, sex
identification information;
Skull measurements (length, width, or not provided);
Whether cubs were present with sow and, if yes, how many
cubs;
Bear condition (obese, average, skinny);
Specimens collected (tooth, hair, skin, liver, fat,
muscle, skin/muscle, baculum/penis bone, or other);
Research marks/tags (collar, ear tag number, lip tattoo,
or other);
Date and location of kill (to include latitude/longitude);
Whether it was a conflict or problem bear and whether it
was taken in defense of life;
Additional remarks; and
Whether hunter is available for post-hunt interview and,
if yes, phone number, with the following post-hunt interview questions
for problem bear situations:
a. Was there a food source/attractant that the bear was interested
in? What was the attractant?
b. Was there any attempt to haze the bear to get it to leave?
c. Was it believed that the bear could be a threat to people?
Note: We would only ask these typical post-hunt questions if
the biologist needed information on a bear that was marked as a
problem bear. There is no standardized questioning.
B. Form 3-2415, ``Walrus Tagging Certificates'': Form 3-2415
collects the following information:
Date and location of tagging;
Village hunted from (if different than tagging location);
Marine Mammals Management Marking, Tagging, and Reporting
Program (MTRP) tag number of plastic-headed wire tag used for left or
right tusk;
Type of take for walrus (LK = live killed, BF = beach
found)--This information increases the accuracy of the known mortality
and harvest data by discriminating between a walrus killed for
subsistence purposes or found dead and salvaged. Requiring all ivory
that has been taken or collected (pursuant to the Alaska Native
exemption) to be marked, tagged, and reported simplifies Service
enforcement efforts.

Additional remarks.
We also require non-Native collectors to use Form 3-2406, ``Non-
Native Marine Mammal Certificates.'' The collection of information via
Form 3-2406 allows the Service to track individuals who register
(within 30 days) beach-found hard parts to determine whether the take
of marine mammal hard parts is legal. We use the below listed
information collected via Form 3-2406 to verify whether it is legal for
the individual to retain them:
Date and location of tagging;
MTRP tag number of plastic-headed wire tag used for left
or right tusk;
Date found;
Age and sex;
Tusk circumference at gum line and tusk length from gum
line to tip along front side following the curve of the tusk;
Exact location of kill or find;
