An announcement dated July 19 in the Federal Register seeks public input on new, proposed, revised and continuing collections of information from those who wish to adopt, purchase, foster or train wild horses or burros.
The agency collects information from individuals to determine (1) if applicants are qualified to adopt or purchase wild horses and burros, (2) whether or not to authorize an adopter or purchaser to maintain more than four wild horses and burros, (3) whether or not to grant requests for replacement animals or refunds, and (4) whether or not to terminate a private maintenance and care agreement.
Your remarks should address these issues:
- Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency and whether the information will have practical utility
- The accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of information collection, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used
- Ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected
- How to minimize the burden of information collection on those who are to respond, including the use of automated, electronic, mechanical or other forms of technology
Written and electronic comments will be accepted through September 18.
