AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is partnering with Utah State University to undertake a survey that will provide the BLM with social science input to support planing of the Upper Las Vegas Wash Conservation Transfer Area (CTA). The BLM anticipates that this information will assist in the decision-making process to (1) protect the fossil and plant resources; (2) allow for ecological function of the CTA; and (3) render a decision on the boundary configuration and allowable uses of the CTA that are defensible to the public, agencies, local governments, and the courts.

Description of Need: This proposal seeks approval to collect information from residents of selected neighborhoods in both Las Vegas and North Las Vegas via questionnaire in order to gain a better understanding of how socio-economic characteristics of nearby residential populations might affect the disturbance impacts in the CTA. These questionnaires will be used to answer questions on: Type and frequency of use within the CTA, familiarity with the CTA, levels of attachment to the CTA, attitudes and preferences regarding use and management of the CTA, behavioral intentions regarding enforcement of sanctions to protect the wash environment, and individual and household demographic information. Automated data collection: At this time, we will not be gathering information in an automated way. Description of Respondents: This proposal seeks approval to collect information from adults living in randomly selected households located within one half mile corridors centered along eight linear transects. These transects have been designated for use in measuring ecological and disturbance conditions within the CTA environment and extended south of the CTA into nearby areas of residential development. Estimated average number of respondents: 1000. Estimated average number of responses: 600. Estimated average burden hours per response: 30 minutes. Estimated annual reporting burden: 300 hours.
