SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired
format.
We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper
functions of the USGS; (2) will this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how
might the USGS enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how might the USGS minimize the
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use
of information technology.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our 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: In 2019 the National Park Service (NPS) completed a plan
for non-native fish management from Glen Canyon Dam to Lees Ferry and
on through Grand Canyon National Park. The NPS identified specific
tools for managing non-native brown trout with public and partner
input, including an incentivized harvest program that offers a reward
to anglers for catching and harvesting brown trout. The Glen Canyon Dam
Adaptive Management Program along with its science provider, the US
Geological Survey's Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center, is
interested in understanding the participation of anglers in the brown
trout incentivized harvest program. A mail-back survey will be used to
collect information concerning (1) trip characteristics, (2) incentive
structure and (3) opinions on river management. This collection
proposes to provide data that will be used to inform the ongoing
incentivized harvest program.
