Abstract: Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) is an
interagency program whose goal is to consistently map the location,
extent, and burn severity of large fires across all lands of the United
States from 1984 to present. MTBS data is distributed in a variety of
geospatial formats that are accessible by website download. This survey
will allow the MTBS program to assess the needs of its users and how
well the program is meeting those needs. This survey will be offered to
anyone visiting the MTBS website (<a href="http://www.MTBS.gov">www.MTBS.gov</a>). The survey will be
delivered using the Microsoft Forms platform. Participation in the
survey will be voluntary. The survey will solicit information
pertaining to what data the visitor is
[[Page 11042]]
interested in, the ease with which those data can be accessed, how the
visitor will utilize the accessed data, the visitor's satisfaction with
the program and data products, and any suggestions to improvements to
products/services the visitor may have. The information collected from
this survey will be used to guide program development and changes to
better meet the visitor needs. The survey results will be collected and
analyzed by federal staff. If this information is not collected the
MTBS program will be unable to tailor its products and services to the
needs of its users in the government and public domains.

Profit Organizations, State Government, Local Government and Tribal
Government.

Comment Is Invited: Comment is invited on: (1) Whether this
collection of information is necessary for the stated purposes and the
proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether
the information will have practical or scientific utility; (2) the
accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of
