hunting (e.g., youth hunts or additional
provisions for persons with disabilities),
managing numbers at levels that would
restore and foster the long-term health
of native plant communities. We would
introduce and manage a small bison
herd on a confined area of the Baca
NWR, emphasizing wildlife viewing and
interpretive opportunities.
Water resources management: We
would manage water similar to
alternative B, except we would make a
concerted effort to make sure there is
water in specific areas to enhance
wildlife viewing; this practice could
require additional augmentation of
water.
Visitor services: We would provide for
the widest variety of compatible
wildlife-dependent recreation. Similar
to under alternative B, public access and
visitor programs would be expanded;
however, there would be additional
trails, viewing blinds, and seasonal auto
tour routes across the refuge complex.
Subsequently, we would increase
interpretation and environmental
education opportunities and seek more
staff, volunteers, and partnerships to
support the visitor services program. We
would allow for limited fishing access
on Alamosa NWR. We would also
consider additional commercial uses.
Cultural resources, partnerships and
refuge complex operations: Our actions
would be similar to those under
alternative B, except there would be
greater emphasis on using students and
volunteers to help us survey areas with
high potential for cultural resources. We
would pursue more outside
partnerships and seek to increase
staffing and funding to support our
refuge complex operations.
Wilderness review: This would be the
same as that under alternative B; we
would recommend protection of about
13,800 acres along the southeastern
boundary of Baca NWR.

I. Abstract
The objective of this collection is to
build better inventories of landslides
through citizen participation. This
project will make it possible for the
public to report their observations of
landslides on a USGS-hosted Web site.
The information gathered through the
on-line database will be used to classify
the landslides and damage, as well as
provide information to scientists about
the location, time, speed, and size of the
landslides. The USGS Landslide
Hazards Program has developed an
interactive Web site for public reporting
of landslides.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
In 2013, approximately over 6 million
recreational visitors visited the Colorado
River corridor. The National Park
Service in collaboration with the US
Geological Survey (USGS) and the
Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research
Center (GCMRC) are interested in
understanding the quality and values of
visitor trips related to recreational use
from the base of Glen Canyon Dam to
just below Lees Ferry. A mail-back
survey will be used to collect
information concerning 1) trip/visit
characteristics, 2) activities and 3)
opinions on river management. This
collection proposes to provide data that
will be used to update the currently
used estimates that are more than 25
years old. Up-to-date and relevant
information is needed concerning the
estimation of recreational use in this
area.
II. Data
OMB Number: None. This is a new
collection.
Title: Recreational Use Survey.
Type of Request: New.
Affected Public: General public and
individual households.
Respondent Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: One-time.
Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 5,940.
Annual Burden Hours: 844 hours. We
estimate the public reporting burden to
be 20 minutes per completed survey
response.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have not identified any
‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated
with this collection of information.
