Title and OMB Number: Corps of

Generic Clearance; OMB Control 

Number 0710–0001. 

Needs and Uses: The U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineer utilizes the data 

collected from the questionnaire items 

for planning data to formulate and 

evaluate alternative water resources 

development plans, to determine the 

effectiveness and evaluate the impacts 

of Corps projects, and in the case of the 

flood damage mitigation, to obtain 

information on flood damage incurred, 

whether or not a project is being 

considered or exists. All survey 

questionnaires are administered either 

by face-to-face, mail, or telephone 

methods. Public surveys are used to 

gather data for planning and operating 

Corps projects and facilities and to 

determine public preferences and 

satisfaction. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; business or other for-profit; 

not-for-profit institutions; farms; State, 

local or tribal government. 

Annual Burden Hours: 21,642.

Average Burden per Response: 7 

minutes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

All survey questionnaires are 

carefully selected to minimize undue 

burden on the public and are subject to 

internal controls and pre-testing before 

actual use. Duplication is avoided by 

close coordination with state and local 

agencies as well as other Federal 

agencies and, whenever possible, 

participation in joint data collection 

efforts. Most of the Corps of Engineers 

civil works survey information is 

collected for very unique circumstances, 

such as visitor information at Corps 

recreation areas or flood damage 

information related to the Corps 

evaluation procedures. Much of this 

information is required to be very 

current and must be updated every one 

to two years.
