Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 31, 2021 / Rules and Regulations With this submission, we added vehicle license plate number, State issued, and make/model of vehicle fields as optional fields for refuges/
hatcheries. This information is required by law enforcement purposes for search and rescue/emergency response activities, as well as to verify ownership of vehicles in the event of damage on the refuge/hatchery, accidents, or other related law enforcement purposes.
We have not requested any changes to the remaining information collections identified below, which are currently approved by OMB:
Sport Fishing Application/Permit FWS
Form 32358, Sport FishingShrimping-Crabbing-Frogging Permit Application Form 32358 allows the applicant to choose multiple permit activities, and requests the applicant provide the state fishing license number. The form provides the refuge with more flexibility to insert refuge-specific requirements/
instructions, along with a permit number and validity dates for season issued.
We collect the following information from individuals seeking sport fishing experiences:
Date of application: We often have application deadlines and this information helps staff determine the order in which we received the applications. It also ensures that the information is current.
State fishing license number: We ask for this information to verify the applicant is legally licensed by the State where required.
Permit Type: On sport fishing permits, we ask what type of activity
crabbing, shrimping, frogging, etc. is being applied for.
Applicant information: We collect name, address, phone numbers, and email so we can contact the applicant/
permittee either during the application process or after receiving a permit.
Signature and date: To confirm that the applicant and parent/guardian, if a youth hunter understands the terms and conditions of the permit.
Labeling/Marking Requirements As a condition of the permit, some refuges require permittees to label hunting and/or sport fishing gear used on the refuge. This equipment may include items such as the following:
Tree stands, blinds, or game cameras;
hunting dogs collars; flagging/trail markers; boats; and/or sport fishing equipment such as jugs, trotlines, and crawfish or crab traps. Refuges require the owner label their equipment with their last name, the State-issued hunting/fishing license number, and/or hunting/fishing permit number. Refuges may also require equipment for youth hunters include YOUTH on the label.
This minimal information is necessary in the event the refuge needs to contact the owner.
Required Notifications On occasion, hunters may find their game has landed outside of established hunting boundaries. In this situation, hunters must notify an authorized refuge employee to obtain consent to retrieve the game from an area closed to hunting or entry only upon specific consent. Certain refuges also require hunters to notify the refuge manager when hunting specific species e.g.,
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES2

black bear, bobcat, or eastern coyote with trailing dogs. Refuges encompassing privately owned lands, referred to as easement overlay refuges or limited-interest easement refuges, may also require the hunter obtain written or oral permission from the landowner prior to accessing the land.
Due to the wide range of hunting and sport fishing opportunities offered on the NWRs and NFHs, the refuges and fish hatcheries may customize the forms to remove any fields that are not pertinent to the recreational opportunities they offer. Refuges will not add any new fields to the forms, but the order of the fields may be reorganized. Refuges may also customize the forms with instructions and permit conditions specific to a particular unit for the hunting/sport fishing activity.
