SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all
information collections require approval under the PRA. The BLM may not
conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and a response to a
request for information is not required, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on
new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This
helps the BLM assess impacts of its information collection requirements
and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public
understand BLM information collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
The BLM is especially interested in public comment addressing the
following:
(1) Whether collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the agency, including whether or not
the information will have practical utility;
(2) determination of the accuracy of BLM's estimate of the burden
for collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) methods to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) how might the agency minimize the burden of information
collection on those who respond, including use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments submitted in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. The BLM will include or summarize each comment in its
request to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address,
phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information
in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--
including your personal identifying information--may be made publicly
available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold
your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Abstract: Information will be collected from visitors of public
lands and residents of communities near public lands. Information
gathered from visitors and local community residents will be used to
inform planning decisions in support of BLM's Planning for Recreation
and Visitor Services Handbook H-8320-1. This request is for OMB to
approve these new surveys and focus groups for three years.
