Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 31, 2021 / Rules and Regulations implications. This rule will affect only visitors at NWRs and NFHs, and describes what they can do while they are on a Service station.
Federalism E.O. 13132
As discussed under Regulatory Planning and Review and Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, above, this rule will not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a federalism summary impact statement under E.O. 13132. In preparing this rule, we worked with State governments.
Civil Justice Reform E.O. 12988
In accordance with E.O. 12988, the Department of the Interior has determined that this rule will not unduly burden the judicial system and that it meets the requirements of sections 3a and 3b2 of the Order.
Energy Supply, Distribution or Use E.O.
13211
On May 18, 2001, the President issued E.O. 13211 on regulations that significantly affect energy supply, distribution, and use. E.O. 13211
requires agencies to prepare Statements of Energy Effects when undertaking certain actions. Because this rule adds 7
NWRs to the list of refuges open to hunting and sport fishing, opens or expands hunting or sport fishing at 81
other NWRs, and opens 1 NFH to sport fishing, it is not a significant regulatory action under E.O. 12866, and we do not expect it to significantly affect energy supplies, distribution, or use. Therefore, this action is not a significant energy action, and no Statement of Energy Effects is required.

Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments E.O. 13175
In accordance with E.O. 13175, we have evaluated possible effects on federally recognized Indian tribes and have determined that there are no effects. We coordinate recreational use on NWRs and NFHs with Tribal governments having adjoining or overlapping jurisdiction before we propose the regulations.
Paperwork Reduction Act PRA
This final rule contains existing and new information collections that we have submitted to the Office of Management and Budget OMB for review and approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.. All information collections require approval by the OMB
under the PRA. 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. The OMB has reviewed and approved the information collection requirements associated with hunting and sport fishing activities across the National Wildlife Refuge System and National Fish Hatchery System and assigned the following OMB control numbers:
10180140, Hunting and Sport Fishing Application Forms and Activity Reports for National Wildlife Refuges, 50 CFR 25.41, 25.43, 25.51, 26.32, 26.33, 27.42, 30.11, 31.15, 32.1 to 32.72
Expires 12/31/2023, 10180102, National Wildlife Refuge Special Use Permit Applications and Reports, 50 CFR 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, & 36 Expires 01/31/2024, 10180135, Electronic Federal Duck Stamp Program Expires 01/31/

CFR 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23 Expires 08/31/2023, and 10240252, The Interagency Access Pass and Senior Pass Application Processes Expires 09/30/
2023.
In accordance with the PRA and 5
CFR 1320.8d1, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on our request to revise OMB
control number 10180140. This helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the publics reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format.
The Services final rule RIN 1018
BF09 opens, for the first time, hunting and sport fishing on seven NWRs, opens or expands hunting and sport fishing at 81 other NWRs, and opens hunting or sport fishing on one unit of the NFH.
The additional burden associated with these new or expanded hunting and sport fishing opportunities, as well as the revised information collections identified below, require OMB approval.
Many refuges offer hunting and sport fishing activities without collecting any information. Those refuges that do collect hunter and angler information do so seasonally, usually once a year at the beginning of the hunting or sport fishing season. Some refuges may elect to collect the identical information via a non-form format letter, email, or through discussions in person or over the phone. Some refuges provide the form electronically over the internet. In some cases, because of high demand and limited resources, we often provide

hunt opportunities by lottery, based on dates, locations, or type of hunt.
The requested changes to the existing information collections identified below require OMB approval:
Hunting Applications/Permit FWS
Form 32439, Hunt Application National Wildlife Refuge System Form 32439 collects the following information from individuals seeking hunting experiences on the NWRs:
Lottery Application: Refuges who administer hunting via a lottery system will use Form 32439 as the lottery application. If the applicant is successful, the completed Form 32439
also serves as their permit application, avoiding a duplication of burden on the public filling out two separate forms.
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.
Methods: Some refuges hold multiple types of hunts, i.e., archery, shotgun, primitive weapons, etc. We ask for this information to identify which opportunityies a hunter is applying for.
Species Permit Type: Some refuges allow only certain species, such as moose, elk, or bighorn sheep to be hunted. We ask hunters to identify which species hunt they are applying for.
Applicant information: We collect name, address, phone numbers, and email so we can contact the applicant/
permittee either during the application process, when the applicant is successful in a lottery drawing, or after receiving a permit.
Party Members: Some refuges allow the permit applicant to include additional hunters in their group. We collect the names of all additional hunters, when allowed by the refuge.
Parent/Guardian Contact Information: We collect name, relationship, address, phone numbers, and email for a parent/guardian of youth hunters. We ask for this information in the event of an emergency.
Date: We ask hunters for their preferences for hunt dates.
Hunt/Blind Location: We ask hunters for their preferences for hunt units, areas, or blinds.
Special hunts: Some refuges hold special hunts for youth, hunters who are disabled, or other underserved populations. We ask hunters to identify if they are applying for these special hunts. For youth hunts, we ask for the age of the hunter at the time of the hunt.
