Information Collection Request

    OMB Control Number: 1018-0141.
    Title: Alaska Guide Service Evaluation.
    Service Form Number: 3-2349.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Description of Respondents: Clients of permitted commercial guide 
service providers.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Frequency of Collection: One time, following use of commercial 
guide services.
    Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 264.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 264.
    Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 66.
    Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: None.
    Abstract: We collect information on FWS Form 3-2349 (Alaska Guide 
Service Evaluation) to help us evaluate commercial guide services on 
our national wildlife refuges in the State of Alaska (State). The 
National Wildlife Refuge Administration Act of 1966, as amended (16 
U.S.C. 668dd-ee), authorizes us to permit uses, including commercial 
visitor services, on national wildlife refuges when we find the 
activity to be compatible with the purposes for which the refuge was 
established. With the objective of making available a variety of 
quality visitor services for wildlife-dependent recreation on National 
Wildlife Refuge System lands, we issue permits for commercial guide 
services, including big game hunting, sport fishing, wildlife viewing, 
river trips, and other guided activities. We use FWS Form 3-2349 as a 
method to:
     Monitor the quality of services provided by commercial 
guides.
     Gauge client satisfaction with the services.
     Assess the impacts of the activity on refuge resources.
    The client is the best source of information on the quality of 
commercial guiding services. We collect:
     Client name.
     Guide name(s).
     Type of guided activity.
     Dates and location of guided activity.
     Information on the services received such as the client's 
expectations, safety, environmental impacts, and client's overall 
satisfaction.
    We encourage respondents to provide any additional comments that 
they wish regarding the guide service or refuge experience, and ask 
whether or not they wish to be contacted for additional information.
    The above information, in combination with State-required guide 
activity reports and contacts with guides and clients in the field, 
provides a comprehensive method for monitoring permitted commercial 
guide activities. A regular program of client evaluation helps refuge 
managers detect potential problems with guide services so that we can 
take corrective actions promptly. In addition, we use this information 
during the competitive selection process for big game and sport fishing 
guide permits to evaluate an applicant's ability to provide a quality 
guiding service.

    We again invite comments concerning this information collection on:
     Whether or not the collection of information is necessary,

     Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and

public record. Before including your address, phone number, email 
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you
