the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service), are proposing to renew an
information collection with revisions.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before February
23, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of publication
of this notice at https://

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 1320.8(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 March 10, 2023, we published in
the Federal Register (88 FR 15063) a
notice of our intent to request that OMB
approve this information collection. In
that notice, we solicited comments for
60 days, ending on May 9, 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 FWS–HQ–NCTC–2023–0007) 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.
On August 18, 2023, we published in
the Federal Register (88 FR 56644) a
notice to extend the comment period for
this renewal. In that notice, we solicited
comments for an additional 60 days,
ending on October 17, 2023. We also
published that Federal Register notice
on Regulations.gov (reopening the
comment period in the original Docket
No. FWS–HQ–NCTC–2023–0007) to
provide the public with an additional
opportunity to submit comments (in
addition to the typical Info_Coll@
fws.gov email and U.S. mail submission
methods). We received one comment,
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:06 Jan 23, 2024
Jkt 262001
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 offers eligible
Native American, Alaska Native, Native
Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander high

Adaptation Leadership Congress
(Congress). The mission of the Congress
is to develop future conservation leaders
with the skills, knowledge, and tools to
address environmental change and
conservation challenges to better serve
their schools and home communities.
The Congress supports and operates
under the following authorities:
• Executive Order (E.O.) 13175,
‘‘Consultation and Coordination With
Indian Tribal Governments’’ (November
6, 2000);
• E.O. 13515, ‘‘Increasing
Participation of Asian Americans and
Pacific Islanders in Federal Programs’’
(October 14, 2009);
• E.O. 13592, ‘‘Improving American
Indian and Alaska Native Educational
Opportunities and Strengthening Tribal
Colleges and Universities’’ (December 2,
2011);

‘‘American Indian Tribal Rights,
Federal-Tribal Trust Responsibilities,
and the Endangered Species Act,’’
issued jointly by the Department of the
Interior and the Department of
Commerce (June 5, 1997);

The weeklong environmental
Congress fosters an inclusive and
meaningful educational opportunity for
aspiring Indigenous youth leaders
interested in addressing environmental
issues facing Native American, Alaska
Native, and Pacific Islander
communities. Eligible students—
representing a diverse mix of
Indigenous communities from various
geographic locations, both urban and
rural—compete for the opportunity to
represent their communities from across
the country. The students learn about
environmental change and conservation
while strengthening their leadership
skills for addressing conservation issues
within their own communities.

Proposed Revisions
With this submission, the Service
proposes the following new and revised
requirements to the currently approved

propose to revise Form 3–2546, Student

2570, Travel Information, which collects

participants, to include name, date of
birth, phone number, and gender

• Special travel needs;
• Address for travel stipend

• What are strengths that you can
bring to share with the other junior
faculty and larger Congress community?
• How do you hope to grow by
participating in Congress?
• What would you like to learn or
what opportunities are you looking for?
• What change do you hope to make
or impact do you hope to have in your

2572)—We propose to add Form 3–

Contact Form, which collects emergency
contact information, should an event
occur where we need to contact outside
individuals related to the participant.
We also ask the college-aged Junior
Faculty to complete a Competitive

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we,
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are proposing to renew an
information collection with revisions.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before
February 23, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be submitted within 30 days of
publication of this notice at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information collection by selecting
``Currently under Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the
search function. Please provide a copy of your comments to the Service
Information Collection Clearance Officer, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, MS: PRB (JAO/3W), 5275 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, VA 22041-
3803 (mail); or by email to [email protected]. Please reference ``1018-
0176'' in the subject line of your comments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madonna L. Baucum, Service Information
Collection Clearance Officer, by email at [email protected], or by
telephone at (703) 358-2503. Individuals in the United States who are
[[Page 4615]]
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-of-contact 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 1320.8(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 March 10, 2023, we published in the Federal Register (88 FR
15063) a notice of our intent to request that OMB approve this
information collection. In that notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on May 9, 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 FWS-HQ-NCTC-2023-
0007) to provide the public with an additional method to submit
comments (in addition to the typical [email protected] email and U.S.
mail submission methods). We did not receive any comments in response
to that notice.
On August 18, 2023, we published in the Federal Register (88 FR
56644) a notice to extend the comment period for this renewal. In that
notice, we solicited comments for an additional 60 days, ending on
October 17, 2023. We also published that Federal Register notice on
Regulations.gov (reopening the comment period in the original Docket
No. FWS-HQ-NCTC-2023-0007) to provide the public with an additional
opportunity to submit comments (in addition to the typical
[email protected] email and U.S. mail submission methods). We received
one comment, 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 Service offers eligible Native American, Alaska
Native, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander high school students the
opportunity to apply for the Native Youth Climate Adaptation Leadership
Congress (Congress). The mission of the Congress is to develop future
conservation leaders with the skills, knowledge, and tools to address
environmental change and conservation challenges to better serve their
schools and home communities. The Congress supports and operates under
the following authorities:
Executive Order (E.O.) 13175, ``Consultation and
Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments'' (November 6, 2000);
E.O. 13515, ``Increasing Participation of Asian Americans
and Pacific Islanders in Federal Programs'' (October 14, 2009);
E.O. 13592, ``Improving American Indian and Alaska Native
Educational Opportunities and Strengthening Tribal Colleges and
Universities'' (December 2, 2011);
Public Law 116-9, Section 9003, ``John D. Dingell, Jr.
Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act'' (March 12, 2019);
16 U.S.C. 1727b, Indian Youth Service Corps;
White House Memorandum on Government-to-Government
Relationships with Tribal Governments (September 23, 2004);
Secretary's Order (S.O.) 3206, ``American Indian Tribal
Rights, Federal-Tribal Trust Responsibilities, and the Endangered
Species Act,'' issued jointly by the Department of the Interior and the
Department of Commerce (June 5, 1997);
S.O. 3317, ``Department of the Interior Policy on
Consultation with Indian Tribes'' (December 1, 2011);
S.O. 3335, ``Reaffirmation of the Federal Trust
Responsibility to Federally Recognized Indian Tribes and Individual
Indian Beneficiaries'' (August 20, 2014); and
The Service's Native American Policy (510 FW 1), published
January 20, 2016.
The following Federal partners assist and support the Service's
administration of the Congress:
The U.S. Department of the Interior--
--Bureau of Indian Affairs;
--Bureau of Land Management;
--National Park Service; and
--United States Geological Survey;
The U.S. Department of Agriculture--U.S. Forest Service;
The U.S. Department of Commerce--National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration;
The Federal Emergency Management Agency;
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration; and
The Environmental Protection Agency.
The weeklong environmental Congress fosters an inclusive and
meaningful educational opportunity for aspiring Indigenous youth
leaders interested in addressing environmental issues facing Native
American, Alaska Native, and Pacific Islander communities. Eligible
students--representing a diverse mix of Indigenous communities from
various geographic locations, both urban and rural--compete for the
opportunity to represent their communities from across the country. The
students learn about environmental change and conservation while
strengthening their leadership skills for addressing conservation
issues within their own communities.
Through a cooperative agreement with the New Mexico Wildlife
[[Page 4616]]
Federation (NMWF), the Service solicits and evaluates applications from
eligible students interested in applying for the program. The NMWF
notifies successful applicants and arranges all travel for them.

Each applicant provides essay responses to questions concerning
topics such as environmental issues affecting their home/Tribal
community, how or whether the environmental issues are addressed, and/
or how, as a Native youth leader, they can lead the community in
adapting to a changing environment.
In addition to the online application form, the Service uses

other junior faculty and larger Congress community?
How do you hope to grow by participating in Congress?
