We have developed an online
application for project collaborators and volunteers to watch video
clips that were collected from caribou collars (animal-borne video
collars) and enter data about the behaviors and habitats observed
in the clips. Information collected from the videos will be
analyzed to describe caribou foraging behavior, how it varies
across the summer, and the factors that influence it. This
information is being collected as part of a long-term project to
understand how climate variability influence caribou forage
conditions, behaviors, distributions, and population dynamics.
Results of the analyses will be published in peer-reviewed
scientific publications that will be available to the
public.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
