OMB Control Number: 1028–0085. Abstract: The Land Remote Sensing Education, Outreach and Research Activity (NLRSEORA) is an effort that involves the development of a U.S. National consortium in building the capability to receive, process and archive remotely sensed data for the purpose of providing access to university and State organizations in a ready to use form; and to expand the science of remote sensing through education, research/applications development and outreach in areas such as environmental monitoring, climate change research, natural resource management and disaster analysis. Respondents are submitting proposals to acquire funding for a National (U.S.) program to promote the uses of spacebased land remote sensing data and technologies through education and outreach at the State and local level and through university based and collaborative research projects. The information collected will ensure that sufficient and relevant information is available to evaluate and select a proposal for funding. A panel of USGS geography program managers and scientists will review each proposal to evaluate the technical merit, requirements, and priorities identified in the program’s call for proposals. This notice concerns the collection of information that is sufficient and relevant to evaluate and select proposals for funding. We will protect information from respondents considered proprietary under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing regulations (43 CFR Part 2), and under regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data and information to be made available to the public or for limited inspection.’’ Responses are voluntary. No questions of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked. We intend to release the project abstracts and primary investigators for awarded/funded projects only. Frequency of Collection: On-occasion. Affected Public: Non-profit organizations. Respondent Obligation: Voluntary (necessary to receive benefits). Estimated Number and Description of Respondents: We expect to receive approximately 10 proposals during the grant application process. We anticipate issuing 1 grant per year. The program is open to non-profit organizations. Estimated Number of Responses: Approximately 10 applications and two reports per year. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:14 Jan 25, 2012 Jkt 226001 Estimated Completion Time per Response: We expect to receive approximately 10 applications per year, taking each applicant approximately 24 hours to complete, totaling 240 burden hours. We anticipate awarding one (1) grant per year. The grantee will be required to submit an interim Annual Progress Report to the designated USGS Project Officer within 90 days of the end of the project period and a final report on or before 90 working days after the expiration of the agreement. We estimate that it will take approximately 48 hours to complete and submit both reports. Annual Burden Hours: 288 hours per year. Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’ Burden: We have not identified any ‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated with this collection of information. Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an agency may not conduct or sponsor; and you are not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

In that notice we solicited public comments for 60 days, ending on December 20, 2011. We did not receive any public comments in response to the notice.

ACTION: Notice of intent. AGENCY: Pursuant to applicable provisions of the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (REA), the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Grand Junction Field Office is proposing to begin collecting fees in August of 2012 for overnight camping at the North Fruita Desert Campground within the North Fruita Desert Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA), North of Fruita, within Mesa County, Colorado.

DATES: To ensure that comments will be considered, the BLM must receive written comments on the BLM’s proposal to collect fees in the North Fruita Desert Campground by February 27, 2012.

The FIRS is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to leave a message or question with the above individual. You will receive a reply during normal business hours. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The North Fruita Desert SRMA offers outstanding opportunities for world class mountain biking. The BLM’s overall goal is to maintain the area’s recreation experiences, quality social setting, and overnight camping while protecting natural resources requires substantial Federal investment. The BLM is committed to finding the proper balance between public use, reduction of user conflicts, and the protection of resources. The campground qualifies as a site wherein visitors can be charged a fee, authorized under Section 803(h) of REA, 16 U.S.C. 6802(h). In accordance with REA and implementing regulations at 43 CFR part 2930, visitors would obtain an individual Special Recreation Permit to camp within the North Fruita Desert Campground. This fee would be required to be displayed at each campsite. Permits would expire at the beginning of the subsequent calendar day. The suggested fee per campsite, per night is $10. The BLM’s goal for the North Fruita Desert Campground fee program is to ensure that funding is available to maintain the area in a naturallyappearing condition consistent with the recreation setting established by the North Fruita Desert Management Plan, to manage visitor use to provide a quality recreation experience under existing rules and regulations by providing for increased law enforcement presence, to develop additional services such as expanding interpretive/ educational programming, and to protect resources. All fees collected ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 would be used for expenses within the campground. The BLM published the North Fruita Desert Campground Business Plan in August 2008 and updated it in November 2011, which outlines operational goals of the area and the purpose of the fee program. This Business Plan provides management direction for public enjoyment of these public lands through the recreational experience of overnight camping, while minimizing the potential for resource damage from authorized uses. The Plan also provides a market analysis of local recreation sites and sets the basis for the fee proposal. The plan is available online at: https://www.blm.gov/co/st/en/ fo/gjfo.html. The North Fruita Desert Campground Business Plan addresses recreation opportunities and fees for camping within the SRMA. This plan, prepared pursuant to the REA and the BLM recreation fee program policy, also addresses establishing a permit process and the collection of user fees. This Business Plan establishes the rationale for charging recreation fees. In accordance with the BLM recreation fee program policy, the Business Plan explains the fee collection process and outlines how the fees would be used at the special area. The BLM has notified and involved the public at each stage of the planning process, including the proposal to collect fees, through notifications on-site and several public meetings to present and gather ideas concerning fees within the special area. The Northwest Colorado Resource Advisory Committee (NW RAC) reviewed and recommended the approval of this proposal at its December 1, 2011, meeting. Future adjustments in the fee amount would be made in accordance with the North Fruita Desert Campground Business Plan and through consultation with the NW RAC and the public prior to a fee increase. Fee amounts will be posted on-site and online at the GJFO Web site at: https://www.blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/ gjfo.html. Copies of the Business Plan will be available at the Grand Junction Field Office. The BLM welcomes public comments on this proposal. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. E:\FR\FM\26JAN1.SGM 26JAN1
