SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Understanding Value Trade-offs regarding Fire Hazard Reduction VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:38 Feb 21, 2008 Jkt 214001 Programs in the Wildland-Urban Interface. OMB Number: 0596–0189. Expiration Date of Approval: September 30, 2008. Type of Request: Extension with no revision. Abstract: Forest Service and university researchers will contact recipients of a phone-mail questionnaire to help forest and fire managers understand value trade-offs regarding fire hazard reduction programs in the wildland-urban interface. Through those contacts, researchers will evaluate the responses of Florida residents to different scenarios related to fire-hazard reduction programs, determine how effective residents think the programs are, and calculate how much residents would be willing to pay to implement the alternatives presented to them. This information will help researchers provide better information to natural resource, forest, and fire managers when they are contemplating the kind and type of fire-hazard reduction program to implement to achieve forestland management planning objectives. A random sample of Florida residents are contacted via random-digit dialed telephone calls and asked to participate in the research study. Those agreeing to participate then answer a minimal set of questions to determine pre-existing knowledge of fuels reduction treatments and provide a mailing address, as well as agreeing to a date and time for an indepth interview related to the questionnaire. After completion of the in-depth interview, no further contact with the participants will occur. A university research-survey center collects the information. A Forest Service researcher and a researcher at a cooperating university analyze the data collected. Both researchers are experienced in applied economic nonmarket valuation research and survey research. The Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, as well as many state agencies with fire protection responsibilities will benefit from this. At present the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and many State agencies with fire protection responsibilities are planning to embark on an ambitious and costly fuels reduction program for fire risk reduction and will benefit from public opinion on which treatments are most effective or desirable.

Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1,250 hours.
