SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA, 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
[[Page 34289]]
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 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: We will collect information from stakeholders of the
Arctic Rivers Project, which include representatives of Indigenous
communities in Alaska, representatives of Indigenous organizations, and
others regarding the effectiveness of participatory methods and
achievement of overall project goals. Evaluation information will be
collected via semi-structured interviews, surveys, and polls. Questions
will focus on the relevancy of the project to participants, methods
used to engage with participants, feedback about project components,
input for the direction of the project, preferred communication
methods, current and future use of project products. This information
will allow for a greater understanding of the effectiveness of
community engagement, the co-production process, and participation in
the direction of the project. This information will help guide the
project through its various phases, and it will help enhance
communication and product development.
