Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 33 / Friday, February 18, 2005 / Notices
agreed upon by the interviewer and the
respondent.
A list of potential respondent
addresses and telephone numbers will
be purchased from Survey Sampling,
Inc. located in Fairfield, Connecticut.
The key community contact will
publicize the information collection
through his or her contacts in the
community and via word of mouth.
Interviewers will send letters to
potential respondents explaining the
survey and the dates on which the
interviewer will conduct field
interviews. Follow-up phone calls will
be made to help ensure potential
respondents are aware of the
information collection and the dates on
which the interviewer will conduct the
survey. The survey instrument will be
translated into Spanish. Respondents
will have a choice of responding in
Spanish or English. The graduate
student interviewer is fluent in both
English and Spanish.
The number of respondents
comprising the sample size is based on
an estimate of the Hispanic population
in Gainesville. Based on census figures,
we know that approximately 64 percent
of the population is comprised of
Hispanics 18 years of age or older. The
sample size calculation assumes a 5
percent margin of error and the 95
percent confidence level. Sample size is
based on the following equation:
n = 4P*Q/.0025
Where n = sample size, P = proportion
of population with the characteristic,
i.e., percent Hispanic; Q = proportion of
population without the characteristic,
i.e., not Hispanic. The sample size is
calculated at 368 (n = 4*.64*.36/.0025).
The resulting calculation is rounded
down to 300 because of logistical
limitations associated with collecting
door-to-door interviews.
Forest Service managers would use
this information to develop outreach
strategies designed to encourage greater
Hispanic participation in urban forest
stewardship. Specifically, this involves
developing programs to promote
volunteerism and community
participation. In cooperation with state
forestry agencies and municipal parks
agencies, the Forest Service will provide
technical advice to communities to
ensure that urban green projects are
environmentally feasible.
Tabulation and analysis of the
quantitative data will be performed by
researchers with the Forest Service in
Athens, Georgia, and the University of
Georgia geography department.
Statistical analyses include means
difference tests, Chi-square tests, and
multivariate regression. Journal articles

will be drafted to report the more
significant methodological or theoretical
findings.
If the information proposed herein is
not collected, data concerning Hispanic
perception and use of the urban forest
will not be available to the Forest
Service. The resources specified in this
proposal are not federally managed.
However, federal resources and
programs provide partial support for
their continuance.
The agency is committed to
encouraging more participation in tree
stewardship by urban communities,
including minority and ethnically
diverse populations. In order to achieve
this goal, the agency must have better
information on how specific groups
interact with the urban forest.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 15
minutes.
Type of Respondents: Hispanic
residents in Gainesville, Georgia.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 300.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 75 hours.
Comment is invited on: (1) Whether
this collection of information is
necessary for the stated purposes and
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical or
scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
