Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 29, 2022 / Notices

Background
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits take of listed species unless a
Federal permit is issued that authorizes
such take. The ESA’s definition of
‘‘take’’ includes hunting, shooting,
harming, wounding, or killing, and also
such activities as pursuing, harassing,
trapping, capturing, or collecting.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to take
endangered or threatened species while
engaging in activities that are conducted
for scientific purposes that promote
recovery of species or for enhancement

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general
public and other Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on March
31, 2022 (87 FR 18809). We received
one comment. The comment did not
address information collection, so no
action was taken.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How the agency might minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personally identifiable
information (PII) in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your PII may be
made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your PII from public review,
we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.

Abstract: This collection seeks to
gather information on harvest and
satisfaction from waterfowl hunters on
the open waters of Green Bay and Lake
Michigan. From 2021 through 2025, the
Wisconsin waterfowl hunting season
had and will have a North, South, and
Open Water Zone. The Open Water
Zone will be specific to the offshore
open waters of Lake Michigan and
Green Bay. Specific regulations for this
new zone, which starts 500 feet offshore
and extends to the Wisconsin-Michigan
state boundary, can be modified during
the five-year period and input from
hunters will provide critical information
to improve hunter satisfaction. Former
survey methods used to gather
information on the season frameworks
preferred by hunters under the 2016–
2020 season structure cannot be applied
to the Open Water Zone; thus, USGS
plans to conduct both in-person and
online surveys targeted toward openwater hunters to gather their input on
season frameworks. Surveys will also be
used to inform managers on what,
where, and how many species of
waterfowl are harvested in this openwater environment. Wisconsin
waterfowl managers will use
information collected from this survey
to assist in developing season
frameworks within this zone and
provide information on harvest
composition.
Title of Collection: Hunter Harvest
and Satisfaction Surveys on Green Bay
and Lake Michigan.
OMB Control Number: 1028–NEW.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: New.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Waterfowl hunters that hunt the open
waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 200.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 600.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 10 minutes on average.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 100.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Occur each
time they hunt the open waters of Green
Bay and/or Lake Michigan.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: None.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, nor is a person required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The authority for this
