The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing changes to its existing information collection process related to special use permits for activities on national wildlife refuges. They plan to introduce a new, simplified application form (Form 3-1383-EZ) to reduce the burden on applicants involved in non-economic activities. In addition, they are updating other forms to include more relevant activity options and improve the wording for clarity. Public comments on these changes are invited until February 18, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wants to make it easier for people to ask for permission to do things in wildlife refuges by creating a simpler form, but they also want to know if people think this change is helpful. They are asking people to share their thoughts about these changes by February 18, 2025.
