characteristics, and visitor input on management actions for National Park Wilderness. Emphasis is often on how well the public perceives the National Park Service is meeting the mandate of guiding legislation. National Park personnel use the collected information to ensure that the Agency is meeting their legislated mandates, understanding how visitors’ recreational activities influence the natural resources of the park, and making certain that wilderness-type recreation experiences are protected.

Managers at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks have requested assistance from the Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute to gather, analyze, and report on information from visitors to contribute to wilderness stewardship planning. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in California contain 808,000 acres of federally protected wilderness and another 30,000 acres are managed as wilderness per National Park Service policies. Managers desire to understand visitor attitudes about administrative and scientific facilities in the wilderness, methods used to protect wilderness conditions and social conditions, actions taken by managers to control impacts, visitor perceptions of wilderness character trends, and demographics of visitors. The data from this information collection will be stored at the Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute in Missoula, Montana. Scientists working at the Research Institute will conduct the data analysis.

The National Park Service will use information from this collection to help make the Wilderness Stewardship Plan responsive to legislative and policy guidelines as well as acknowledging a changing client base of American citizens and foreign visitors through creating understanding of:

1. How users feel about such administrative facilities as ranger stations, crew camps, and radio repeaters; user support facilities such as food storage lockers, bridges, and signs; research support facilities such as wells, plot markers, weirs and snow pillows; trail quality; hand held technology use, and short-term manipulations of conditions to achieve long-term naturalness goals;

2. How different kinds of visitors ( e.g., overnight users, hikers, stock users, outfitted, and non-outfitted groups) feel about the level of isolation and immersion in nature they perceive; how they evaluate encounters with others; and how they evaluate visitor impacts and management actions taken to control those impacts; 3. How different kinds of users define the most important elements of the wilderness environment and social conditions, such as naturalness, wildness, challenge, self-reliance, crowding, and aesthetics; and

4. How current visitor use characteristics, attitudes and use patterns differ from those observed in the past and at other places, and how they may be projected to differ in the future.

Respondents will be overnight recreation visitors to the wilderness of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks during the summers of 2011 and 2012. Visitors will be contacted from information they provide in their required overnight wilderness permits. Visitors will be provided alternative methods of response to the survey about their recreation experience in the Park: (1) Mail the survey to the Leopold Institute using a postage paid envelope, (2) receive an electronic e-mail form of the survey, or (3) access a web-based form of the electronic survey. All responses will be voluntary. Data collected in this information collection are not available from other sources and nothing comparable has been collected at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks since 1990.

This survey will only ask overnight recreation visitors questions about their recreation visit, their personal demographics relevant to education and service provision, and factors that have influenced or are likely to influence their recreational wilderness visits. Survey respondents will be told that this information is voluntary and in confidence (their names will not be connected to their responses in any way).

Estimate of Annual Burden: 20 minutes.

Type of Respondents: Individuals. Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 500.

Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 167 hours.

Comment is invited on: (1) Whether this collection of information is necessary for the stated purposes and the proper performance of the functions of the National Park Service, including whether the information will have practical or scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute’s estimate of the burden of the 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) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

All comments received in response to this notice, including names and addresses when provided, will be a matter of public record. Comments will be summarized and included in the submission request toward Office of Management and Budget approval.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Title: Swine Health. OMB Number: 0579-0137. Type of Request: Revision and extension of approval of an information collection.

Abstract: Under the Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq .), the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is authorized, among other things, to prohibit or restrict the interstate movement of animals and animal products to prevent the dissemination within the United States of animal diseases and pests of livestock and to conduct programs to detect, control, and eradicate pests and diseases of livestock. APHIS regulations at 9 CFR, chapter I, subchapter C, govern the interstate movement of animals and other articles to prevent the spread of pests and diseases of livestock within the United States.

The regulations in part 71 contain requirements for the interstate movement of swine within a production system to prevent the spread of swine diseases, and Part 85 regulates the interstate movement of swine to prevent the spread of the pseudorabies virus (PRV). Under the Pseudorabies Eradication Program, part 52 allows for the payment of indemnity to owners for the depopulation of swine known to be infected with PRV. Together these regulations protect the health of the U.S. swine population. Information collection activities associated with the regulations include, for part 71, a swine production system health plan and an interstate movement report and notification; for part 85, a Permit to Move Restricted Animals (VS Form 1- 27), a certificate of veterinary inspection, an owner-shipper statement, an accredited veterinarian’s statement concerning embryos for implantation and semen shipments, and the completion and recordkeeping of a Quarterly Report of Pseudorabies Control Eradication Activities (VS Form 7-1); and, for part 52, an appraisal and indemnity claim form (VS Form 1-23), a herd management plan, VS Form 1-27, and a report of net salvage goods. Additionally, the swine must be moved to slaughter in a means of conveyance sealed with an official seal.

We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve our use of these information collection activities for an additional 3

years.

This information collection includes information collection requirements approved under OMB control numbers
0579-0070, ‘‘Pseudorabies, ’’ 0579-0137,

‘‘Pseudorabies in Swine; Payment of Indemnity, ’’ and 0579-0161, ‘‘Interstate Movement of Swine Within a Production System. ’’ After OMB approves and combines the burden for the three collections under a single collection titled ‘‘ Swine Health’’ (0579- 0137), the Department will retire numbers 0579-0070 and 0579-0161.

The purpose of this notice is to solicit comments from the public (as well as affected agencies) concerning our information collection. These comments will help us:

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, through use, as appropriate, of automated, electronic, mechanical, and other collection technologies; e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

Estimate of burden: The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.2567212 hours per response.

Respondents: U.S. swine herd owners, producers, and shippers; hobby farmers; State animal health officials; and accredited veterinarians.

Estimated annual number of respondents: 7,670.

Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 15.154498.

Estimated annual number of

responses: 116,235.

Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 29,840 hours. (Due to averaging, the total annual burden hours may not equal the product of the annual number of responses multiplied by the reporting burden per response.)

All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record.

Done in Washington, DC, this 9 th day of June 2010.

Kevin Shea Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
