SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA 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 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: The information collection includes closed-ended and
open-ended responses to questions about forest restoration across the
Hawaiian Islands, solicited from self-identified restoration
practitioners, through an online survey (approximately 70-100
respondents) and semi-structured interviews (20-40 participants). The
objective of this effort is to gather information and identify emergent
themes and patterns drawn from personal perspectives and narratives not
otherwise captured in ecologically-focused studies. This will aid
researchers in identifying ways to improve the effectiveness and
scaling up of forest restoration efforts in alignment with broadly
stated ecosystem restoration goals of local NGOs to state, federal, and
inter-governmental organizations.
