SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we 
provide the general public and other Federal agencies with an 
opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps us assess the impact of our 
information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting 
burden. It also helps the public understand our information collection 
requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
August 6, 2021 (86 FR 43269). No comments were received.
    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other 
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are 
especially interested in public comment addressing the following:
    (1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether or not the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection 
of information, including the validity of the methodology and 
assumptions used;
    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    (4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of 
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., 
permitting electronic submission of response.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. Before including your address, phone number, email 
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you 
should be aware that your entire comment--including your personal 
identifying information--may be made publicly available at any time. 
While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal 
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we 
will be able to do so.
    Abstract: Reclamation collects agency-wide recreation and 
concession information to fulfill congressional reporting requirements 
pursuant to current public laws, including the Federal Water Project 
Recreation Act (16 U.S.C. 460I), and the Federal Lands Recreation 
Enhancement Act (16 U.S.C. 87). In addition, collected information will 
permit relevant program assessments of resources managed by 
Reclamation, its recreation managing partners, and/or concessionaires 
for the purpose of contributing to the implementation of Reclamation's 
mission. More specifically, the collected information enables 
Reclamation to (1) evaluate the effectiveness of program management 
based on existing recreation and concessionaire resources and 
facilities, and (2) validate the efficiency of resources for public use 
within partner managed recreation resources, located on Reclamation 
project lands in the 17 Western States. In addition to using an on-line 
data collection platform, we have streamlined the form used in this ICR 
by removing two sections that can be collected and maintained by 
Reclamation employees which lessens the public burden.
    Title of Collection: Recreation Use Data Report.
    OMB Control Number: 1006-0002.
    Form Number: Web-based Form 7-2534--Recreation Use Data Report.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, local, or tribal governments; 
agencies who manage Reclamation's recreation resources and facilities; 
and commercial concessions, subconcessionaires, and nonprofit 
organizations located on Reclamation lands with associated recreation 
services.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 212.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 212.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: 25 minutes.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 88 hours.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    Frequency of Collection: Annually.
    Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: 0.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number.
    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq).

Director, Dam Safety and Infrastructure.
