SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), 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.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
June 1, 2021 (86 FR 29279). No comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the 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) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection
of information, including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) How the agency might minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including through the 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 that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your address, phone number, email
address, or other personally identifiable information (PII) in your
comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including your
PII--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us
in your comment to withhold your PII from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Abstract
A major component of the Department of Interior's vision is to
``Increase access to outdoor recreation opportunities for all Americans
so that our people can be healthier, more fully enjoy the wonderful
features of their federal lands, and take advantage of hunting,
fishing, and other outdoor recreation pursuits that are the roots of
the conservation movement.'' At the direction of DOI, the USGS is
advancing that vision with the launch of the National Digital Trails
(NDT) project. The two-year project consists of three major goals:
1. Develop a web-based geospatial analysis tool, called Trail
Routing Analysis and Information Linkage System (TRAILS), to assist
Federal land managers in identifying and prioritizing candidate trails
to be connected to existing trails and trail networks.
2. Aid in the creation of a robust nationwide digital trails
dataset including, at a minimum, trails on lands managed by key Federal
agencies including the Bureau of Land Management, National Park
Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and U.S. Forest Service.
3. Develop a mobile responsive application that will assist trail
stewards, land management agencies, and members of the public in the
maintenance of trails information.
This information collection request focuses on Goal 2, the digital
trails dataset. The Trail Data Portal will support development and
maintenance of the robust USGS nationwide digital trails dataset (Goal
2). In turn, the dataset is a primary component of the TRAILS
geospatial analysis tool (Goal 1) which provides DOI bureaus and trail
managers a tool to improve trail connectivity throughout the Nation's
public lands.
The Trail Data Portal will facilitate an efficient digital trails
data submission process and communication between the USGS and data
providers. Authoritative trail managers will be able to log in to
submit their trails data, along with relevant information, for USGS
review and integration into the USGS digital trails dataset. USGS staff
will be able to log in to download the submitted data, perform
preliminary assessment, and provide status updates for every trail data
submission. No data edits or integration will take place within the
Trail Data Portal.
The following information will be collected for every authoritative
data provider that submits trails data for
[[Page 30989]]
USGS integration: Name, email, and organization. This information will
allow the USGS to identify an appropriate point of contact for every
data source in the USGS digital trails dataset. It may be necessary for
the USGS to reach this contact to provide status updates, clarify data
discrepancies, or obtain the latest trails data to perform updates to
the USGS digital trails dataset.
