SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) and 
regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 100 and 
36 CFR 242 require that persons engaged in taking fish, shellfish, and 
wildlife on public lands in Alaska for subsistence uses must apply for 
and obtain a permit to do so and comply with reporting provisions of 
that permit. We use the following forms to collect information from 
qualified rural residents for subsistence harvest:
    (1) FWS Form 3-2326 (Federal Subsistence Hunt Application, Permit, 
and Report).

[[Page 62092]]

    (2) FWS Form 3-2327 (Designated Hunter Permit Application, Permit, 
and Report).
    (3) FWS Form 3-2328 (Federal Subsistence Fishing Application, 
Permit, and Report).
    (4) FWS Form 3-2378 (Designated Fishing Permit Application, Permit, 
and Report).
    (5) FWS Form 3-2379 (Federal Subsistence Customary Trade 
Recordkeeping Form).
    We use the information collected to evaluate:
     Eligibility of applicant.
     Subsistence harvest success.
     Effectiveness of season lengths, harvest quotas, and 
harvest restrictions.
     Hunting patterns and practices.
     Hunter use.
    The Federal Subsistence Board uses the harvest data, along with 
other information, to set future season dates and harvest limits for 
Federal subsistence resource users. These seasons and harvest limits 
are set to meet the needs of subsistence users without adversely 
impacting the health of existing animal populations.
    Also included in this ICR are three forms associated with 
recruitment and selection of members for regional advisory councils.
    (1) FWS Form 3-2321 (Federal Subsistence Regional Advisory Council 
Membership Application/Nomination).
    (2) FWS Form 3-2322 (Regional Advisory Council Candidate 
Interview).
    (3) FWS Form 3-2323 (Regional Advisory Council Reference/Key 
Contact Interview).
    The member selection process begins with the information that we 
collect on the application. Ten interagency review panels interview 
applicants and nominees, their references, and regional key contacts. 
These contacts are all based on the information that the applicant 
provides on the application form. The information that we collect 
through the application form and subsequent interviews is the basis of 
the Federal Subsistence Board's recommendations to the Secretaries of 
the Interior and Agriculture for appointment and reappointment of 
council members.
    In addition to the above forms, regulations at 50 CFR 100 and 36 
CFR 242 contain requirements for the collection of information. We 
collect nonform information on:
    (1) Repeal of Federal subsistence rules and regulations (50 CFR 
100.14 and 36 CFR 242.14).
    (2) Proposed changes to Federal subsistence regulations (50 CFR 
100.18 and 36 CFR 242.18).
    (3) Special action requests (50 CFR 100.19 and 36 CFR 242.19).
    (4) Requests for reconsideration (50 CFR 100.20 and 36 CFR 242.20).
    (5) Requests for permits and reports, such as traditional 
religious/cultural/educational permits, fishwheel permits, fyke net 
permits, and under-ice permits (50 CFR 100.25-27 and 36 CFR 242.25-27).
