SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The programmatic clearance applies to social science surveys, 
interviews, and focus groups designed to provide information to Service 
managers and practitioners to improve quality and utility of agency 
programs, services, and planning efforts. Data from collections 
undertaken through the proposed programmatic clearance would provide 
information for agency management, planning, and monitoring and 
evaluating the National Wildlife Refuge System (Refuge System) efforts 
generally and the Urban Wildlife Conservation Program specifically, as 
well as efforts of other Service programs. To ensure continuous 
improvement, Service activities and projects require ongoing systematic 
assessment of their design, implementation, and outcomes. The scope of 
this programmatic clearance includes individual surveys, focus groups, 
and interviews of refuge visitors, potential visitors, and residents of 
communities near Service-managed units, and stakeholders and partners, 
including tribal interests. We estimate that we will receive 20,333 
responses to surveys at 20 minutes per survey; 833

responses to telephone surveys at 25 minutes per survey; 784 
nonresponses at 5 minutes per survey; and 59 responses from focus 
groups at 1 hour per focus group annually.

tie to Service management needs. The programmatic review may only be 
used for noncontroversial information collections that are unlikely to 
attract or include topics of significant public interest. OMB must 
approve all collections before we can collect the information.
