Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: We increased our burden hours from 5,655 to 5,720 to include the burden associated with applications for special use permits required for public recreational use of certain conservation easement lands at Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. In 2002, the State of Alaska, Koniag, Inc., and the Service signed a Conservation Easement. As a condition of the easement, a refuge-issued permit is required for most public recreational uses occurring on Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge within a 1/2 mile band of land on either side of the Karluk River and lands within 1/2 mile of the shoreline of Karluk Lake. On June 8, 2006, the Service issued regulations (50 CFR part 36)(71 FR 33255)that allow us to continue to implement the Conservation Easement. There is a reduction in the time burden due to adjustments in agency estimates as the Federal burden is determined to not be covered by the PRA.
