Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery
Abstract: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: the
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.

ACTION:
The purpose and need for the

Wilderness (BWCAW) from the
Minnesota School Trust with
outstanding wilderness/scenic/
recreational opportunities, which will
consolidate ownership and eliminate
the risk of development or uses

benefit the Minnesota public school

In February 2015, a scoping process
for this project was initiated by the
Forest Supervisor. The scoping period
lasted until May 15, 2015 and included
notification to a wide range of interested
persons, adjacent landowners, state,
local and tribal government, and
organizations. In addition, five open
houses were held in the project area and
Saint Paul, MN. Over 1,600 comment
letters were received from interested
persons, adjacent landowners, state,
local and tribal government, and
organizations. Upon review of scoping
comments, the Forest Supervisor
decided to prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS).
While further scoping comments will
be accepted, it is anticipated that the
scoping comments already received
have thoroughly described the range of
issues of interest to the public, agencies,
organizations and governments. Scoping
comments already received during the
February–May 2015 scoping period are
being considered, are part of the project
record, and will provide standing to
object per requirements of 36 CFR 218.
DATES: Any additional comments
concerning the scope of the analysis
must be received by September 30,
2015. The Draft Environmental Impact
Statement is expected January 2016, and

This exchange is part of the long term
strategy for acquiring all county and
state lands in the BWCAW to resolve the
long standing issue of wilderness
restrictions limiting use of nonfederal
lands. The acquisition of these lands is
considered Priority 1 under Forest Plan
Guideline G–LA–2 (p. 2–51).
Outside the BWCAW
The exchange would meet Forest Plan
Land Adjustment Goal G–LA–5 (p. 2–
52) for acquisition of Minnesota State
School Trust Lands in the BWCAW
through land exchange. This exchange
has the potential to reduce and/or
eliminate over 30 complex special use
permits/easements reducing the cost of
special use permit administration on the
Forest. The authorized activities would
continue but would be managed by the
State. This would meet the intent of
Forest Plan Guideline G–LA–3(e) (p. 2–
52).
The conveyance of Federal land
would reduce boundary management
and landline costs. Federal parcels
proposed for exchange were specifically
identified to consolidate federal and
state ownership patterns. This would
meet the intent of Forest Plan Guideline
G–LA–3(d) (p. 2–52).
The land conveyed would allow the
State to actively manage lands outside
the wilderness to generate revenue to
benefit the MN public school system.
The State would manage the conveyed
land to provide for a wide variety of
goods, uses and services similar to
management under federal ownership.
This would meet the intent of Forest
Plan Guideline G–LA–3(b) (p. 2–52).
Proposed Action
The Forest Service proposes to
exchange federal lands of equal value
from a pool of approximately 39,075
acres for approximately 30,000 acres of
State lands. The final acres to be
exchanged would reflect equal market
values based on an appraisal compliant
with federal standards. The possibility
that all of the federal land will be
necessary or that the federal land list
will be inadequate is relatively low.
The Forest Service would also transfer
authority and administration of special
use permits located within the federal
parcels to the Minnesota DNR. Many of
these permits and easements involve
both short and long-term authorizations
for roads and trails, phone lines,
electrical lines, fiber optics, and a
county canister transfer station. These
permits are located across the Forest
and are administered by five ranger
districts.
The State Constitution requires the
State to reserve mineral rights in an

occur.

in the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement.
Possible Alternatives
Consideration of alternatives raised in

Responsible Official

Forest.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
The decision to be made is whether to
exchange federal lands of equal value
from a pool of approximately 39,075
acres for approximately 30,000 acres of
State lands. The decision will include:
1. What actions would be used to
address the purpose and need;
2. Where and when those actions
would take place;
3. Any other actions that would be
required.
