USDA Wildlife Services responds to
requests from the public for assistance in managing damage-causing
wildlife. It collects information from State and local
jurisdictions, tribes, public and private agencies, organizations,
institutions, and individuals needed to establish agreements and
initiate or document appropriate services.
This request for reinstatement
includes refined burden estimates. There is a decrease in the
number of respondents and number of responses, but a slight
increase in the burden hours that are attributed to eight new
activities -- Permanent Assignment of Pyrotechnics and Repellants
(WS Form 49), Livestock Protection Collar Accident Report (WS Form
92), Fixed Wing and Rotary Wing Proficiency Flight Reviews (WS
Forms 200 and 201), Protected Resources Queries; and three
documents associated with the reestablished National Wildlife
Service Advisory Committee (NWSAC). Use of WS Form 68, SF 424, SF
424A, SF 424B, and SF LLL have been discontinued in this
information collection.
