SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA 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 60day public comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on April 28, 2022 (87 FR 25288). We received one comment asking to receive a copy of the draft ICR. We responded that we would send the ICR once it is complete. 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 the agency might 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 personally identifiable information (PII) in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your PII—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your PII from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Abstract:The USGS developed a Public Participatory GIS (PPGIS) mapping application to aid in gathering information from Bureau of Land Management (BLM) visitors about their uses of and values for public lands and waters. The BLM is mandated by the Federal Land and Policy Management Act of 1976 to manage public lands for multiple uses, including outdoor recreation and human use. This information collection would provide data on human uses of and values for public lands and waters for consideration during Federal planning, permitting, and management efforts. The PPGIS tool used to collect data is called the Values Mapping for Planning in Regional Ecosystems (VaMPIRE) application. VaMPIRE is a partnership with the BLM and is designed to gather spatially referenced data on the values people attach to places and the activities they do on BLM lands. The spatially referenced data can be used to identify landscape values; how proposed management actions might affect use and value; where potential conflicts might occur; and high-performing areas where multiple values can co-exist. The mapping application incorporates a survey designed to assess behavioral changes by the public based on land use and explores if visitors would change locations, activities, or frequency of visits given possible land-use change scenarios. VaMPIRE also identifies if there is an overall change in the value received from public lands under specified management changes. This information collection would pilot test the use of VaMPIRE in three different locations, using different methodologies that are appropriate for each location and context. In the Moab (Utah) area, data will be collected online by emailing a link to the application and survey to visitors who reserved BLM campgrounds or permits in certain locations. In Mojave Trails National Monument (California), data will be collected online by emailing the link to interested-party email lists BLM maintains. In San Luis Valley (Colorado), data will be collected through in-person workshops to reach local community members. Title of Collection: Public Participatory GIS mapping application and visitor survey. OMB Control Number: 1028–NEW. Form Number: None. Type of Review: New. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals (Visitors to Bureau of Land Management Lands). Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 1,333.

Estimated Completion Time per Response: We estimate it will take on average 15 minutes to complete the full online survey, 3 minutes to complete the non-response survey, and 45 minutes to respond at an in-person workshop. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 321 hours. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Frequency of Collection: Respondents will provide information one time. Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: None. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, nor is a person required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

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;

    Abstract:The USGS developed a Public Participatory GIS (PPGIS) 
mapping application to aid in gathering information from Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM) visitors about their uses of and values for public 
lands and waters. The BLM is mandated by the Federal Land and Policy 
Management Act of 1976 to manage public lands for multiple uses, 
including outdoor recreation and human use. This information collection 
would provide data on human uses of and values for public lands and 
waters for consideration during Federal planning, permitting, and 
management efforts. The PPGIS tool used to collect data is called the 
Values Mapping for Planning in Regional Ecosystems (VaMPIRE) 
application. VaMPIRE is a partnership with the BLM and is designed to 
gather spatially referenced data on the values people attach to places 
and the activities they do on BLM lands. The spatially referenced data 
can be used to identify landscape values; how proposed management 
actions might affect use and value; where potential conflicts might 
occur; and high-performing areas where multiple values can co-exist. 
The mapping application incorporates a survey designed to assess 
behavioral changes by the public based on land use and explores if 
visitors would change locations, activities, or frequency of visits 
given possible land-use change scenarios. VaMPIRE also identifies if 
there is an overall change in the value received from public lands 
under specified management changes.
    This information collection would pilot test the use of VaMPIRE in 
three different locations, using different methodologies that are 
appropriate for each location and context. In the Moab (Utah) area, 
data will be collected online by emailing a link to the application and 
survey to visitors who reserved BLM campgrounds or permits in certain 
locations. In Mojave Trails National Monument (California), data will 
be collected online by emailing the link to interested-party email 
lists BLM maintains. In San Luis Valley (Colorado), data will be 
collected through in-person workshops to reach local community members.
    Title of Collection: Public Participatory GIS mapping application 
and visitor survey.
    OMB Control Number: 1028-NEW.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: New.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals (Visitors to Bureau of 
Land Management Lands).
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 1,333.

    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,333.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: We estimate it will take on 
average 15 minutes to complete the full online survey, 3 minutes to 
complete the non-response survey, and 45 minutes to respond at an in-
person workshop.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 321 hours.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Frequency of Collection: Respondents will provide information one

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, nor is a person required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.
