Abstract: Information collected by the
Service (in support of the land
acquisition program) is required under
applicable statutes, DOJ regulations,
Departmental and Service policies, and
best business practices. Examples of
initial information collected from a
willing-seller landowner include: The
legal owner and/or co-owner names and
addresses; the property location; the
property legal description; the approval
to access property; and permission to
inspect and appraise. In the acquisition
of certain low-value properties, or land
donations, the Service also collects an
approval for waiver of appraisal
requirements. In those cases where a
proposed land acquisition, from a
willing seller, meets all the requisite
inspections, surveys, valuation,
environmental compliance, authorized
approvals, and legal reviews, then the
Service also collects additional
information necessary to complete the
legal conveyance documents, the
associated financial transactions, and
any Internal Revenue Service reporting
requirements. The Service utilizes the
Pre-Acquisition Tracking System
(PATS) as the standard database in this
information collection effort.
The PATS is a nationwide database
system that minimizes data input errors
and reduces risk while creating
efficiencies through standardization of
the Service’s land acquisition business
practices. The PATS simplifies the
collection, use, sharing, and reporting of
realty data, and provides a standard
platform for interaction and
collaboration throughout the Service’s
land acquisition program. The PATS
directly benefits willing-seller
landowners by ensuring that electronic
data pertaining to them, or their
property, is maintained in a secure,
enterprise-wide database system, and
that document preparation errors are
minimized utilizing standardized data
input protocols and document
management capabilities.
Implementation of this approach will
make data calls and status reports more

consistent and timely, and the Service
will be in compliance with the PRA.
In addition, the PATS database
facilitates Secretarial Order 3356 and
3366 by tracking land acquisitions that
have potential to support public
hunting, fishing, and other forms of
outdoor recreation, and access related
thereto.
Authorities for the collection of
realty-related information include:
• Regulations of the Attorney General
Governing the Review and Approval of
Title for Federal Land Acquisitions
(2016);
• Uniform Relocation Assistance and
Real Property Acquisition Policies Act
of 1970 (49 CFR 24);
• National Wildlife Refuge
Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C.
668dd);
• Migratory Bird Hunting and
Conservation Stamp Act (16 U.S.C.
718d);
• Migratory Bird Conservation Act
(16 U.S.C. 715–715r, as amended);
• Land and Water Conservation Fund
Act of 1965, as amended (16 U.S.C.
460l);
• Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1534);
• Emergency Wetlands Resources Act
of 1986 (16 U.S.C. 3901); and,
• Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 742a).
Information collected by the Service’s
Division of Realty via PATS may
include the following:
• Initial Requests—Initial request to
consider property, to include such items
as:

property owner(s), such as:

is low and the valuation problem is
uncomplicated.

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). We will
maintain the information in a secure
