Reclamation with the ability to (1) evaluate program and management 
effectiveness pertaining to existing recreation and concessionaire

managed recreation resources, located on Reclamation project lands in 
the 17 Western States.

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
Reclamation, including whether the information will have practical use; 
(b) the accuracy of Reclamation's estimated burden of the proposed 
collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, use, and 
clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize 
the burden of the collection of information on those who are to 
respond, including through the use of automated collection techniques 
or other forms of information technology.
    An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. Reclamation will

[[Page 38660]]

display a valid OMB control number on the forms in this information 
collection. A Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period 
soliciting comments on this information collection was published in the 
Federal Register on March 6, 2006 (71 FR 11225, Mar. 6, 2006). 
Reclamation did not receive any comments on this information collection 
during the comment period.
    OMB has up to 60 days to approve or disapprove this information 
collection, but may respond after 30 days; therefore, public comment 
should be submitted to OMB within 30 days in order to assure maximum 
consideration.
    Department of the Interior practice is to make comments, including 
names and home addresses of respondents, available for public review. 
Individual respondents may request that we withhold their home address 
from public disclosure, which we will honor to the extent allowable by 
law. There also may be circumstances in which we would withhold a 
respondent's identity from public disclosure, as allowable by law. If 
you wish us to withhold your name and/or address, you must state this 
prominently at the beginning of your comment. We will make all 
submissions from organizations or businesses, and from individuals 
identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations 
or businesses, available for public disclosure in their entirety.
