SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Estuary Habitat Restoration
Program Inventory; OMB Control Number: 0710-ESTU.
Needs and Uses: The Estuary Restoration Act of 2000 (ERA)
established an Estuary Habitat Restoration Program (EHRP) that provides
funding to restoration projects. Funded projects are required to
complete the collection tool so project information (e.g., location,
habitat type, goals, status, monitoring information) can be included in
the EHRP database mandated by the ERA. The benefit of data collection
is to document the restoration actions implemented, as well as the
monitoring results to understand the success of each project. EHRP
project information will be submitted by
[[Page 87410]]
habitat restoration project managers and will be accessible to the
public via internet. The collection method includes paper or electronic
forms, not web-based data entry.
This is not a new information collection, but a reinstatement of
the same information collection that was owned by the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration and approved under OMB Control Number
0648-0479. It has been determined that responsibility for Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) compliance should be transferred to USACE because
it oversees all projects currently funded through the ERA. All
anticipated future projects will be managed by USACE as well. No
information will be collected until this information collection request
is approved by OMB, bringing the Estuary Habitat Restoration Program
Inventory back into compliance with the PRA.
Affected Public: Non-profit institutions; State, local, or tribal
government.
Annual Burden Hours: 15.
Number of Respondents: 10.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 10.
Average Burden per Response: 1.5 hours.
Frequency: Annually.
Dated: December 13, 2023.
