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 12, 2024, we published in the Federal Register (89 FR 17868) 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 13, 2024. 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–HQ–JAO–2024–0029) to provide the public with an additional method to submit comments (in addition to the typical U.S. mail submission method). We received four comments in response to that notice. None of the comments addressed the information collection requirements; therefore, no responses are required to the comments. 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.
