Abstract: Title VIII of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act designates the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture as the key agencies responsible for implementing the subsistence priority on Federal public lands. To help carry out subsistence management responsibilities, the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture established the Federal Subsistence Management Program. Regulations implementing the Federal Subsistence Management Program on Federal public lands within Alaska are in the Code of Federal Regulations (50 CFR 100 and 36 CFR 242). To administer this program, we collect both form and nonform information, including hunting and fishing applications, permits, and reports; applications and interview forms for membership on the regional advisory councils; proposals and changes to subsistence regulations; and requests for reconsideration and appeals.

Short Statement: We discovered an error with previous submissions of forms 3-2326, 3-2327, 3-2328, 3-2378, and 3-2379. Rather than entering each form once with a combined application and reporting time of 15 minutes, the previous Clearance Officer entered each form twice – once for the application time and once for the reporting time. This resulted in a double reporting of unique applicants that is not accurate. We removed the duplicate ICs and increased the burden time in the original IC to 15 minutes total to account for the total application and reporting time. We also added a new form (3-2300) for use by incumbents to the Regional Advisory Council. This form asks less information than the regular application form (3-2321) to reduce the burden on any individuals seeing to continue to serve on the Council. The total burden reported resulting from these changes is a decrease of 14,048 responses and an increase of 3 burden hours.
