Abstract: Monitoring and evaluating 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) 

activities, including the activities 

National Wildlife Refuge System 

(Refuge System), is an essential 

component of strategic and adaptive 

management. The collection of 

information is necessary to enable the 

Service to garner customer and 

stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with our 

commitment to improved service 

delivery and customer experience. In 

particular, collection of information and 

rigorous social science inquiries are 

necessary to fulfil the goals of the 

President’s Executive Order 14008— 

Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and 

Abroad, the principles of the Service’s 

community-focused Urban Wildlife 

Conservation Program, a commitment to 

serving a broader and more diverse 

public, and allowing the Service to 

better understand the needs and 

perspectives of Tribal Nations and 

Native communities. 

The proposed programmatic clearance 

would cover social science surveys, 

interviews, and focus groups designed 

to provide information to Service 

managers and practitioners to improve 

quality and utility of agency programs, 

services, and planning efforts. To ensure 

continuous improvement, Service 

activities and projects require ongoing 

systematic assessment of their design, 

implementation, and outcomes. Data 

from collections undertaken through the 

proposed programmatic clearance 

would provide information for 

planning, monitoring, and evaluating 

Refuge System efforts, as well as efforts 

of other Service programs. The scope of 

this programmatic clearance includes 

individual surveys, focus groups, and 

interviews of refuge visitors, potential 

visitors, and residents of communities 

near Service-managed units, and 

stakeholders and partners, including 

Tribal interests. 

The President’s Executive Order 

14008 sets the goal of conserving ‘‘at 

least 30 percent of our lands and waters 

by 2030’’ through the Conserving and 

Restoring America the Beautiful 

campaign. A collaborative approach is 

needed to achieve the principles for 

locally led efforts and better understand 

the patterns and trends occurring across 

public lands and waters. The Service’s 

national visitor survey is one approach 

to collecting information from the 

public related to visitation across the 

Refuge System. The national visitor 

survey seeks to understand the 

recreation trends and experiences of 

visitors at refuges to better manage for 

future visitation that aligns with 

national conservation goals. One of the 

recommendations for early focus and 

progress in the America the Beautiful 

campaign specifically recommends 

increasing access for outdoor recreation, 

a management objective the monitoring 

data from the visitor survey can help to 

inform. 

The Service’s Urban Wildlife 

Conservation program (Urban program) 

was established as a means to engage 

with urban communities more 

meaningfully in fish and wildlife 

conservation. It enumerates designation 

criteria for urban wildlife refuges (urban 

refuges), partnerships, and bird treaty 

cities, and describes how the standards 

of excellence apply to urban refuges and 

other urban activities. The Urban 

program aligns particularly well with 

the Department of the Interior’s focus on 

equity and environmental justice, work 

that helps to achieve one of the 

President’s Four Pillars (Racial Equity). 

Another recommendation outlined in 

the Conserving and Restoring America 

the Beautiful campaign includes 

creating safe outdoor opportunities in 

nature-deprived communities, a goal of 

which the Urban program is helping to 

achieve. 

The Service is required to ‘‘evaluate 

and adapt’’ the practices of the Urban 

program through internal review of the 

urban entities by the Division of Visitor 

Services and Communications every 5 

years, including an expanded visitor 

services review for the Urban Refuges as 

per Policy 110 FW 1. The Division 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
67794 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 189 / Monday, October 2, 2023 / Notices 

‘‘must analyze the people they are 

reaching and conduct approved visitor 

use surveys to monitor the changes and 

track audience engagement.’’ In 

addition, the Service is committed to 

evaluating progress and measuring 

success of the Urban Program’s 

standards of excellence, such as ‘‘know 

and relate to the community; connect 

urban residents with nature through the 

steppingstones of engagement; and 

ensure visitors feel safe and welcome.’’ 

The Service’s Human Dimensions 

(HD) Branch, programmatically aligned 

within the National Wildlife Refuge 

System, will serve as the office of 

control for the programmatic clearance. 

The role of the HD Branch is to build 

conservation social science 

understanding, capacity and integration 

within the Service. A suite of questions 

will serve as the basis for all 

information collections under this 

programmatic clearance. The suite of 

questions will be used to develop 

surveys to respond to the above-named 

Presidential Priorities as well as 

adaptively ensure improved customer 

experience and satisfaction. As the 

office of control, the HD branch ICR 

Coordinator will conduct the necessary 

quality control, including assuring that 

each survey instrument comports with 

the guidelines of the programmatic 

clearance. 

We developed the following topic 

areas within the suite of questions to 

streamline the ICR process: 

(1) Respondent Characteristics (e.g., 

demographics, land and property 

characteristics, and visits to other public 

lands). This topic area allows us to 

understand customer demographic 

profiles and track visitation trends more 

holistically over time. 

(2) Communication (e.g., languages 

spoken, sources of information used, 

and use of social media and other webbased outlets). This topic area allows us 

to understand customer preferences for 

finding information. 

(3) Trip Planning and Logistics (e.g., 

purpose of trip, information on 

wayfinding used, and various trip 

characteristics). This topic area allows 

us to understand the logistics and 

information involved with a customer’s 

trip planning experience and make 

strategic transportation decisions. 

(4) Recreation Activities, Experiences, 

and Preferences (e.g., recreation activity 

preferences, experience, and 

satisfaction). This topic area allows us 

to better why customers visit, 

understand preferences for wildlifedependent recreation, and provide a 

quality customer experiences at specific 

sites. 

(5) Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs 

(e.g., understanding and opinions 

around nature, the outdoors, climate 

change, and the agency). This topic area 

allows us to improve future 

programming and communications with 

customers. 

(6) Resource Management Perceptions 

and Preferences (e.g., attitudes around 

resource protection, transportation 

needs, and other management 

decisions). This topic area allows us to 

understand current customer 

perceptions and anticipate as how 

customers would most likely react to 

future management actions. 

(7) Visitor Expenditures and 

Economic Inputs (e.g., trip expenses, 

information on local businesses, and 

landowner contributions). This topic 

area allows us to gather economic data 

related to conservation goals of the 

agency. 

(8) Public, Stakeholder, and Partner 

Engagement (e.g., participation in 

programs, partnerships, and various 

conservation actions). This topic area 

allows us to understand if and how the 

customer dedicates their time to 

conservation-related actions. 

(9) Program Evaluation (e.g., learning 

outcomes, program experience rating, 

and satisfaction). This topic area allows 

to better assess overall program 

outcomes and performance to improve 

future programming. 

To qualify for the generic 

programmatic review process, each 

individual collection under this 

programmatic clearance must be welldefined in terms of its sample or 

respondent pool and research 

methodology; it should clearly fit within 

the overall plan and scope of the 

approved ICR; and the survey questions 

must show a clear tie to Service 

management needs. Individual 

collections may not raise any 

controversial policy issues, include 

topics of significant public interest, or 

go beyond the methods specified and 

approved by OMB in this programmatic 

ICR. Any individual collection that 

requests non-agency goal-related data or 

information on controversial topics 

would be inappropriate for expedited 

review under this programmatic 

clearance and must go through the full 

PRA clearance process to solicit public 

feedback. In instances where HD Branch 

staff are involved with the development 

of the individual information collection, 

other uninvolved staff in the HD Branch 

or a member of the ICR review team 

would review the ICR. 

We will obtain OMB approval of all 

individual survey submissions 

developed using the pre-approved suite 

of questions before the survey can be 

initiated. If, after consultation with the 

principal investigator, the ICR 

coordinator recommends a proposed 

survey for approval, both the Service 

and Departmental Information 

Collection Clearance Officers (ICCO) 

will review the ICR before it is formally 

transmitted to OMB for review and 

approval. 

A copy of the draft suite of questions 

is available to the public for viewing in 

the docket on the https://

www.regulations.gov website, or by 

submitting an email request to the 

Service ICCO as provided in the FOR
