Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 17, 2015 / Notices advanced since these user groups were surveyed on these issues more than 25 years ago. A survey will be mailed to a sample of whitewater floaters and anglers to collect information concerning (1) trip/visit characteristics, (2) activities and (3) opinions on river management. This information collection will be used to provide empirical data that will help NPS managers and planners understand the impacts of direct recreational uses along the Colorado River. II. Data OMB Control Number: 1024–DREC. Title: A Survey of Direct Recreational Uses Along The Colorado River. Type of Request: NEW. Affected Public: General public; individual households. Respondent Obligation: Voluntary. Frequency of Collection: One time. Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 2,340. Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 780 hours. Estimated Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’: None. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES III. Request for Comments On August 26, 2014, we published a Federal Register notice (79 FR 50940) announcing that we would submit this ICR to OMB for approval. Public comments were solicited for 60 days ending October 27, 2014. We received one comment in response to that notice. The commenter suggested that this study is unnecessary because the SocioEconomic Ad Hoc Group (SEAHG) is in the process of developing a study to address the informational needs related to the Glen Canyon Dam operations and the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. We contend that this study does not cause a conflict because the survey does not duplicate any ongoing or parallel effort but rather is intended to provide information that will be used to update a more than 25 year old study of the same resources. We again invite comments concerning this information collection on: • Whether or not the collection of information is necessary, including whether or not the information will have practical utility; • The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection of information; • Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and • Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents.
