SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery. Abstract: The information collection activity will garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration’s commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and actionable communications between the Agency and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful information, but it will not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not be used for quantitative information collections that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more rigorous designs that address: the target population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame, the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size, the expected response rate, methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior fielding the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results.

National Institute of Food and Agriculture Title: Children, Youth, and Families at Risk (CYFAR) Year End Report. OMB Control Number: 0524–0043. Summary of Collection: The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) administers grants that support the Children, Youth, and Families at Risk (CYFAR) Sustainable Communities Project (SCP). Funding for this program is authorized under section 3(d) of the Smith-Lever Act (7 U.S.C. 341 et seq.), CYFAR funding supports communitybased programs (also known as ‘‘extension programs’’) which serve children, youth, and families in at-risk environments. CYFAR funds are intended to support the development of high quality, effective programs based on research. The purpose of CYFAR SCP funding is to improve the quality and quantity of comprehensive community-based programs for at-risk children, youth, and families supported by the Cooperative Extension System. Collaboration across disciplines, program areas, and geographic lines, as well as a holistic approach that views the individual in the context of the family and community, are central to Sustainable Community Projects. CYFAR grants are awarded only to 1862, 1890, and 1994 Land Grant institutions through a competitive application process. Awards are made annually, for five year terms. There are up to 50 grantees at any given time. Need and Use of the Information: The purpose of the CYFAR Year End Report is to collect the demographic and impact data from each community site in order to evaluate the impact of the programs on intended audiences. CYFAR grants represent a Federal financial investment and the data collected allows NIFA to gauge the benefits achieved from these investments. The CYFAR Year End Report tells the story of each of the CYFAR SCP grantees and is part of the information used to determine whether grantees have performed adequately in the past year to receive a continuation of funding. Without the information NIFA would not be able to verify if CYFAR programs are reaching at risk, E:\FR\FM\11DEN1.SGM 11DEN1 85868 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 236 / Monday, December 11, 2023 / Notices low-income audiences specified in the authorizing legislation.

AGENCY: The Tahoe National Forest is proposing to establish a new recreation fee site and a new annual recreation pass. Recreation fee revenues collected at the new recreation fee site would be used for operation, maintenance, and improvement of the new site. Recreation fee revenues collected from the new annual pass would be used for operation, maintenance, and improvement of the standard amenity recreation fee sites listed in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice. An analysis of nearby recreation fee sites with similar amenities shows the recreation fees that would be charged at the new recreation fee site and the fees collected from the annual pass are reasonable and typical of similar recreation fee sites in the area. DATES: If approved, the new recreation fee and new annual recreation pass would be implemented no earlier than six months following the publication of this notice in the Federal Register. ADDRESSES: Tahoe National Forest, 631 Coyote Street, Nevada City, CA 95959. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Sullivan, Forest Recreation Program Manager, 530–478–6298 or mary.sullivan2@usda.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (16 U.S.C. 6803(b)) requires the Forest Service to publish a six-month advance notice in the Federal Register of establishment of new recreation fee sites. In accordance with Forest Service Handbook 2309.13, chapter 30, the Forest Service will publish the proposed new recreation fee site, as well as the proposed new annual recreation pass, in local newspapers and other local lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:35 Dec 08, 2023 Jkt 262001 publications for public comment. Most of the new recreation fee revenues would be spent where they are collected to enhance the visitor experience at the new recreation fee site and existing recreation fee sites that will honor the new annual recreation pass. A new expanded amenity recreation fee of $75 per night would be charged for rental of Grouse Ridge and Sardine Peak Lookouts. A new Tahoe National Forest annual pass of $40 per vehicle per year would be honored for the existing standard amenity recreation fees charged at the French Meadows, McGuire, and Sugar Pine boating sites and at the Manzanita Picnic Area. The America the Beautiful—the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass would continue to be honored at these standard amenity recreation fee sites. Expenditures from recreation fee revenues collected at the new recreation fee site as well as from the annual recreation pass would enhance recreation opportunities, improve customer service, and address maintenance needs. Once public involvement is complete, the new recreation fee and new annual recreation pass will be reviewed by a Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and implementation. Reservations for Grouse Ridge and Sardine Peak Lookouts could be made online at www.recreation.gov or by calling 877–444–6777. Reservations would cost $8.00 per reservation. Dated: December 5, 2023.
