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 17:50 Feb 21, 2007 Jkt 211001 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 E:\FR\FM\22FEN1.SGM 22FEN1

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