I. Abstract

    The NPS is requesting to reinstate a previously approved collection 
(OMB Control Number: 1024-0262) needed to survey Alaska residents who 
customarily and traditionally engage in subsistence uses within a 
national park, preserve, or monument. In 2012, a survey was conducted 
in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve (WRST) and Gates of 
the Arctic National Park and Preserve (GAAR) to understand the effects 
of subsistence harvesting. This collection intended to collect 
information in additional Alaskan National Parks, Preserves, and 
Monuments.
    Under the provisions of The Alaska National Interest Lands 
Conservation Act (ANILCA), subsistence harvests by local rural 
residents are considered to be the priority consumptive use of park 
resources. This collection will continue to gather information on 
subsistence harvest patterns and the impact of rural economy from 
resident zone communities associated with the following parks, 
preserves, and monuments: 1) Aniakchak National Monument (ANIA), 2) 
Bering Land Bridge National Preserve (BELA), 3) Cape Krusenstern 
National Monument (CAKR), 4) Gates of the Arctic National Park and 
Preserve (GAAR), 5) Kobuk Valley National Park (KOVA), 6) Noatak 
National Preserve (NOAT), 7) Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and 
Preserve (WRST) and 8) Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve (YUCH).
    The information from this collection will be used by the NPS, the 
Federal Subsistence Board, the State of Alaska, and local/regional 
advisory councils in making recommendations and making decisions 
regarding seasons and harvest limits of fish, wildlife, and plants in 
the region which communities have customarily and traditionally used.
