restoration. Information collected will
include the name and address of the
nursery, whether it is primarily for
reforestation or restoration, what current
RNGR products and tools the managers
use and how effective are those
products and tools, and what new
technologies and approaches to
transferring information might better
serve managers. The Social and
Economic Sciences Research Center will
ensure survey validity and analyze and
synthesize the information so that
RNGR can implement the findings.
If the survey is not completed, RNGR
may continue to use less effective and
efficient methods to share science-based
information with the managers Federal,
State, Tribal, other government entities,
and private nurseries and farms that
produce native plant materials for
reforestation and restoration. The goal of
this survey is to implement more costeffective methods of technology transfer
delivered to managers in the best format
for them.
Proposed Action
The assessment will utilize survey
methods. Survey data will be collected
using two modes: (1) electronic (via
web) and (2) mail delivered paper
questionnaire. All 1,200 users of RNGR
resources will be contacted with the
following protocols:
• The first mailing will be mailed
using first class postage and will
include a letter of invitation to complete
the survey online with URL, access
code;
• Email reminders to participants
(those with email addresses) will be sent
approximately one week after the
invitation letter. Multiple email
reminders may be sent (3 days in
between email waves). Email messages
will be sent to one respondent at a time
to minimize spam filter effect. Email
messages will come from an@wsu.edu
email address, which will be ‘‘white
listed;’’
• The questionnaire is approximately
8 pages, printed on 2 sheets of 11x17
paper folded in half. A unique ID
(access code) will be printed on the
questionnaire for tracking purpose.
There will be 2 separate questionnaires
for the (1) user and (2) non-user groups;
• Questionnaires will be mailed in
6x9 envelopes with first class postage
and will include a personalized letter
(containing a URL and access code for
online option) and a business reply
return envelope and personalized letter;
• Reminder/thank you post cards or
letters will be mailed 7 to 10 days after
the questionnaire mailing; and
• In addition, we will also attempt to
contact organizations in the lists via

telephone to identify the appropriate
individuals to contact with regards to
the survey. The phone attempts will be
conducted after mailing of the paper
questionnaire and will reach out to the
remaining non-respondents. These
phone attempts will serve as an
additional reminder to complete the
survey.
Follow-Up Semi-Structured Interview
For those who did not respond to the
survey, especially those in the non-user
group, we will conduct a follow up
semi-structured interview via phone
with audio recording. The interview
will serve two main purposes (1) to
determine the reason for not responding
to the survey, and (2) to gather more indepth information about unmet needs or
reasons for not using RNGR support
services that may or may not be
addressed in the quantitative survey.
For those who responded to the
survey, some of the responses may
warrant further investigation, such as
new ideas or issues that were not
included in the survey questions. Each
interview will take approximately 30 to
45 minutes to complete and will be
conducted after the survey data
collection period is concluded. Data
collected via the above methods will be
summarized and analyzed in a technical
report. The information will be used to
refine the strategic plan for RNGR.
Responsible Official
The responsible official will be Kasten
Dumroese, USDA Forest Service, Rocky
Mountain Research Station, 1221 South
Main Street, Moscow, ID 83843.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
Given the purpose and need, the
responsible official will determine
whether the proposed actions comply
with all applicable laws governing
Forest Service actions and whether the
proposed action meets the purpose and
need for action. With this information,
the responsible official must decide
whether to select the proposed action or
one of any other potential alternatives
that may be developed, and what, if any,
additional actions should be required.
Scoping Process
This notice of intent initiates the
scoping process, which guides the
development of the assessment
questionnaire and survey protocols.
Public comments regarding this
proposal are requested in order to assist
in identifying issues and opportunities
associated with the information
collection protocols.
