SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall
Foundation's National Center, in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), previously
provided the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to
comment on proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information
during a 60-day period in the Federal Register, 88 FR 63630, September
15, 2023. No comments were received and therefore no changes were made
based on public comment. However, the Udall Foundation decided to
consolidate the six initially proposed Information Collection Request
(ICR) renewals into two ICRs. Five of the initially proposed ICRs have
been consolidated under a single OMB Control Number with multiple
Information Collections (ICs) contained within it. The proposed ICRs
are necessary to measure, improve, and report on National Center
performance and delivery of its services. They are not expected to have
a significant economic impact on respondents or to affect a substantial
number of small entities. Please note that written comments received in
response to this notice will be considered public records.
Title of Collection: Environmental Conflict Resolution Services
Participant Questionnaires.
OMB Control Number: 3320-0003.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or households; business or
other for-profit; not-for-profit; federal government; and state, local
or tribal government.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 765.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 100.
Abstract: The ICs used for this program are being consolidated
under a single ICR. All will be separate ICs under OMB Control Number
3320-0003. These ICs are:
<bullet> National Center for Environmental Conflict Resolution
Assessment Evaluation--Requester Questionnaire (former OMB Control
Number 3320-0003);
<bullet> Mediation Services Participant Questionnaire (Agreement
Seeking) (former OMB Control Number 3320-0004);
<bullet> Facilitated Meeting/Workshop Services Participant
Questionnaire (former OMB Control Number 3320-0007);
<bullet> ECR Support Services Evaluation--Requester Questionnaire
(former OMB Control Number 3320-0009); and
<bullet> National Center for Environmental Conflict Resolution
Facilitated Process Evaluation--Participant Questionnaire (former OMB
Control Number 3320-0010).
These evaluations support the National Center's program evaluation
and have the practical utility of supporting achievement of the
National Center's goals and continuous improvement of service delivery.
These goals are to assist parties in resolving federal environmental
disputes in a timely and constructive manner; to increase the
appropriate use of Environmental Collaboration and Conflict Resolution
(ECCR), particularly within the federal government; to improve the
ability of federal agencies and other interested parties to engage in
ECCR effectively; and to promote collaborative problem solving and
consensus building during the design and implementation of federal
environmental policies to help prevent and reduce the incidence of
future environmental disputes. These evaluations are a primary means by
which the National Center evaluates its performance in these key areas
of agency activity.
Title of Collection: Training Services Participant Questionnaire.
OMB Control Number: 3320-0006.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or households; business or
other for-profit; not-for-profit; federal government; and state, local
or tribal government.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 600.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 55.
Abstract: This survey collects information to evaluate trainings
conducted by the National Center. Trainings include any session of
three hours or more in the following categories: skill-building
workshops requested by agencies for their staff (e.g., interest-based
negotiation training for complex intergovernmental conflicts); ECCR
project-specific capacity building for stakeholders (e.g., stakeholder
orientations related to multiparty negotiation); and all of the Udall
Foundation certificate program ECCR trainings. This survey is a primary
means by which the National Center evaluates its performance on this
critical agency activity.
