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 proposing a new form (FWS Form 3-1384, “Bid Sheet – National Wildlife Refuge System”). The associated estimated increase in burden (agency discretion) with this form is 250 annual responses and 250 annual burden hours. There is no non-hour burden cost associated with this form. We are reporting a decrease of $10,800 nonhour cost burden with this submission. We erroneously reported a $100 per application fee with the government respondents for Form 3-1383-C, Commercial Special Use Application; however, government respondents do not pay an application fee for commercial special use permits.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$425,920
