Forest Service Title: West Copper River Delta Sport Fish Use Survey. OMB Control Number: 0596–NEW. Summary of Collection: The current level of use and the present habitat conditions are unknown for specific stream systems on the West Copper River Delta (WCRD). The Alaska Department of Fish and Game currently collects use and harvest data for the area. However, this data is not stream or Forest Service (FS) land specific, but rather it is grouped across a large area of streams accessible via the Cordova Road System. This data does not allow sport fish use to be categorized at a small spatial scale. Sport fish use data needs to be collected at a smaller scale so that manager can respond to sport fish issues at the individual stream level. The Cordova Ranger District proposed to collect sport fish use data on streams flowing through National Forest lands in the Cordova area. The Cordova Ranger District proposes to collect the information in three ways: person-to-person interviews at the airport and at ferry terminals, mail-in questionnaires distributed to local residents, and aerial counts of anglers. Need and Use of the Information: The collected information will be used to monitor and manage sport fish use on the WCRD. The information will allow National Forest land managers to quantify the amount of sport fish use and describe the pattern of that use across the landscape. The information may also help to locate access issues, improve access, identify potential areas of habitat degradation and rehabilitate habitat, build or improve recreation facilities/parking, focus habitat monitoring in concentrated areas, and focus public education efforts to the appropriate user group: Local vs. nonlocal. Description of Respondents: Individuals or households. Number of Respondents: 5,000. Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually. Total Burden Hours: 958.

    Title: West Copper River Delta Sport Fish Use Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 0596-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: The current level of use and the present 
habitat conditions are unknown for specific stream systems on the West 
Copper River Delta (WCRD). The Alaska Department of Fish and Game 
currently collects use and harvest data for the area. However, this 
data is not stream or Forest Service (FS) land specific, but rather it 
is grouped across a large area of streams accessible via the Cordova 
Road System. This data does not allow sport fish use to be categorized 
at a small spatial scale. Sport fish use data needs to be collected at 
a smaller scale so that manager can respond to sport fish issues at the 
individual stream level. The Cordova Ranger District proposed to 
collect sport fish use data on streams flowing through National Forest 
lands in the Cordova area. The Cordova Ranger District proposes to 
collect the information in three ways: person-to-person interviews at 
the airport and at ferry terminals, mail-in questionnaires distributed 
to local residents, and aerial counts of anglers.
    Need and Use of the Information: The collected information will be 
used to monitor and manage sport fish use on the WCRD. The information 
will allow National Forest land managers to quantify the amount of 
sport fish use and describe the pattern of that use across the 
landscape. The information may also help to locate access issues, 
improve access, identify potential areas of habitat degradation and
