Abstract:
The National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 668dd-668ee), as amended by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997, authorizes us to permit public accommodations, including commercial visitor services, on lands of the National Wildlife Refuge System when we find that the activity is compatible and appropriate with the purpose for which the refuge was established. We use the information that we collect on FWS Forms 3-1383-G, 3-1383-C, and 3-1393-R to ensure that: (1) the requested activities are compatible and appropriate with the purpose for which the refuge was established, and (2) the applicant is eligible or is the most qualified applicant to receive the refuge special use permit.

Short Statement:
We are reporting 7,865 annual responses totaling 16,756 burden hours, which is a decrease of 7,886 responses and an increase of 3,274 burden hours from our previous submission. We are also reporting a nonhour cost burden increase of $149,100. We are reporting these changes as an adjustment in agency estimates. In 2014 we established an internal online database that tracks permit submissions by our field stations nationwide which has enabled us to provide more accurate estimates of annual responses. Additionally, we added supplemental instructions to FWS Form 3-1383-C for applications related to cooperative agriculture opportunities on the NWRS. The supplemental instructions clarify the specific information requested in order standardize the application process across the NWRS.
