SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers, Instrument for Hurricane Evacuation Behavioral Survey; 
Generic Collection for OMB Control Number 0710-0019.
    Needs and Uses: The primary purpose of collections to be conducted 
under this clearance is to provide data which will be used in 
conjunction with other information to derive numerical values of 
certain evacuation behaviors which in turn will be used in 
transportation modeling of evacuation clearance times, along with 
shelter planning and public outreach. In general all collections under 
this clearance will be designed based upon accepted statistical 
practices and sampling methodologies, will gather consistent and valid 
data that are representative of the target population, address non-
response bias issues, and achieve response rates needed to obtain 
statistically useful results.
    Affected Public: Residents, property owners, businesses, 
nongovernmental organizations, Local Governments.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,500.
    Number of Respondents: 6,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 6,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondents are residents living in coastal areas where public 
officials may call for an evacuation when a hurricane threatens. The 
sample population queried in this generic collection is typically 
identified using available hurricane risk data, including data on areas 
at risk from hurricane storm surge flooding, previous hurricane 
evacuation studies or hurricane response plans, established hurricane 
evacuation zones, and in coordination with State and Local governments 
within the study area who are responsible for hurricane emergency 
management and evacuation decision making.
