estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used:
3. The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; and

Title: North American Amphibian
Monitoring Program.
Current OMB Approval Number:
1028–0078.
Summary: The North American
Amphibian Monitoring Program
(NAAMP) is a long-term, large-scale
anuran (frog and toad) monitoring
program to track the status and trends
of eastern and central. Volunteers
conduct calling surveys three to four
times per year, depending on the
regional species assemblage. Volunteers
listen for 5 minutes at 10 stops along the
route. Data are submitted electronically
via the Internet or on hard copy. These
data will be used to estimate population
trends at various geographic scales and
assist with documenting species
distribution. NAAMP Web site is
https://www.pwrc.usgs.giv/naamp/.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 400.
Estimated Annual Burden Houses:
3600 hours.
Estimated Annual (Non-Hour) Cost
Burden: The estimated annual (nonhour) cost burden per response is about
$5.65 for a total annual burden of about
$7,000. This is based on about 15 miles
per survey route, times $0.375 per mile,
times 1200 survey routes.
Affected Public: Primarily U.S.
residents.
For Further Information Contact: To
obtain copies of the survey, contact the
Bureau clearance officer, U.S.
Geological Survey, 807 National Center,
12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston,
Virginia, 20192, telephone (703) 648–

Request for Public Comments on
Information Collection Submitted to
OMB for Review Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act
A request extending the information
collection described below has been
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget for approval under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). Copies of the
proposed collection of information may
be obtained by contacting the Bureau’s
clearance officer at the phone number
listed below. OMB has up to 60 days to
approve or disapprove the information
collection, but may respond after 30
days; therefore, comments on the
proposal should be submitted to OMB
within 30 days in order to assure their
maximum consideration. Address your
comments by either fax (202) 395–6566
or e-mail (oira_docket@omb.eop.gov) to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management Budget,
Attention: Desk Officer for the Interior
Department (OMB Control Number
1028–0079). Send copies of your
comments to the Bureau Clearance
Officer, U.S. Geological Survey, 807
National Center, 12201 Sunrise Valley
Drive, Reston, Virginia, 20192, or e-mail
(jcordyac@usgs.gov), telephone (703)
648–7313.
As required by OMB regulations at 5
CFR 1320.8(d)(1), the U.S. Geological
Survey solicits specific public
comments as to:
1. Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions on the
bureaus, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
2. The accuracy of the bureau’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used:
3. The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; and
4. How to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,

Title: North American Breeding Bird
Survey.
Current OMB Approval Number:
1028–0079.
Summary: The North American
Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) is a longterm, large-scale avian monitoring
program to track the status and trends
of continental bird populations. Each
spring, interested volunteers conduct

counts of birds along roadsides across
the United States. Data can be submitted
electronically via the Internet or on hard
copy. These data provide an index of
population abundance that can be used
to estimate population trends and
relative abundances at various
geographic scales. Declining population
trends act as an early warning system to
galvanize research to determine the
causes of these declines and reverse
them before populations reach critically
low levels. The USGS currently
provides BBS population trend
estimates and raw population data for
more than 400 bird species via the
Internet.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 2500.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours:
12,500 hours.
Estimated Annual (Non-Hour) Cost
Burden: The estimated annual (nonhour) cost burden per response is about
$37.50 for a total annual burden of
about $93,000. This is based on about
100 miles per survey route, times $0.375
per mile, times 2500 survey routes.
Affected Public: Primarily U.S.
residents.
For Further Information Contact: To
obtain copies of the survey, contact the
Bureau clearance officer, U.S.
Geological Survey, 807 National Center,
