Tuolumne County Resource Advisory Committee, 45646 [05-15583]

Download as PDF 45646 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 151 / Monday, August 8, 2005 / Notices Census, 2000 Census data to construct post-sample weights to correct for oversampling. Both English and Spanish versions of the questionnaires are used and interviews are conducted bilingually to overcome language barriers. For the U.S. Coast Guard and NOAA the information is critical to assessing the recreational boating community’s knowledge and use of available products and services that promote safe navigation, which are important missions of both agencies. The Government Performance Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) requires that public input be considered when the Forest Service Strategic Plan is revised. Not collecting the data will hinder the ability of the Forest Service to comply with the requirements of GPRA. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is presently revising its overall mission and strategic goals for which it requires public input, but the BLM has no overarching national-level data on the public knowledge and awareness of (and management references for) BLM lands. The EPA is concerned that in most benefit estimations, the recreation value of a water resource is assumed to be its ‘‘use’’ value. Unfortunately, when estimating the benefits of regulatory water quality changes, the regulatory deadlines EPA faces often do not leave enough time to collect the appropriate data to do original studies specific to the water resources in question. Because of this, EPA is generally forced to rely on benefit transfer methods to value resources. The NSRE offers a cost effective way to collect a nationwide freshwater recreation revealed preference data set that could help address this problem. EPA intends to use the collected data as a readily available resource that will enable EPA and others to estimate original recreation demand models in support of proposed regulations and in the evaluation of other government proposed projects. The issues facing many federal agencies are current and need to be addressed. Because environmental and social conditions are changing rapidly, old information will no longer suffice as the basis for decision-making. Timing is also an issue as the NSRE is only conducted every five years. Estimate of Annual Burden: 15 minutes. Type of Respondents: Individuals, age 16 or older, residing in the United States. Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 25,000. Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1. VerDate jul<14>2003 20:13 Aug 05, 2005 Jkt 205001 Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 4,915 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. All comments received in response to this notice, including names and addresses when provided, will be a matter of public record. Comments will be summarized and included in the request for Office of Management and Budget approval. Dated: August 2, 2005. Ann M. Bartuska, Deputy Chief for Research & Development.
