SUMMARY: We (Fish and Wildlife
Service) will ask the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve the information collection (IC)
described below. As required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and
as part of our continuing efforts to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, we invite the general public and
other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on this IC,
which is scheduled to expire on May 31,
2007. We 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.
DATES: You must submit comments on
or before April 23, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Send your comments on the
IC to Hope Grey, Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Fish and Wildlife
Service, MS 222–ARLSQ, 4401 North

this IC, contact Hope Grey by mail, fax,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Lake Umbagog National Wildlife
Refuge contains significant natural and
recreational resources. We estimate that
the area has over 50,000 visits per year,
which can result in significant resource
and social impacts.
In 2006, we began a research study to
gather information to help support
application of visitor carrying capacity
at the refuge. We conducted a survey of
visitors to the refuge to determine
relevant indicators of quality for the
visitor experience. Indicators of quality
are measurable, manageable variables
that reflect the essence or meaning of
management objectives. OMB approved
this collection of information and
assigned control number 1018–0132,
which expires May 31, 2007.
We plan to ask OMB to renew this
information collection to include phase
2 of this study. During phase 2, we
propose to survey visitors and nearby
landowners to identify standards of
quality for relevant indicator variables
and determine attitudes toward
management actions that we might use
to ensure that the standards of quality
are maintained. We will conduct two
separate surveys. One survey will
include a sample of visitors to Lake
Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge and
the second survey will include private
landowners adjacent to the refuge. We
will collect the same information in
VerDate Aug<31>2005

both surveys; however, we will ask
adjacent landowners for additional
information about their frequency of use
of the refuge.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
We have contracted with Management
Systems International to perform an
independent evaluation of the National
Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS).
Although the NWRS has existed for
more than 100 years, it has never
undergone an independent evaluation of
its overall effectiveness in achieving its
conservation mission. We are now
seeking such an evaluation to identify
program strengths and weaknesses, as
well as gaps in performance
information. Such evaluations are an
important element of the OMB Program
Assessment Rating Tool (PART)
assessments, and this evaluation will
satisfy the PART requirements. The
evaluation includes two data collection
components involving the public:
(1) An online survey of partners (e.g.,
volunteer groups, local and national
conservation organizations, hunting and
fishing groups, and other civic
organizations).
(2) Individual and small group
interviews of State fish and game
officials and partners.
The perspective and observations of
NWRS partners and State fish and game
officials are critical to fully understand
the issues and questions that the
independent evaluation will explore.
During 2007, we plan to interview 40
State fish and wildlife officials and 110
individuals from partner organizations.
The small number of individuals
interviewed and the nature of the
interview process do not allow for
generalization of interview findings to
