SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The information collection will be 

done by trained and vetted personnel to 

record information about habitats on 

coastal beaches and the environment 

surrounding them. It will collect 

geographic location information, date 

and time of observation, site 

identification information, photographic 

images, and includes a simple 

biogeomorphic landscape classification 

of geomorphologic and vegetation 

characteristics surrounding nest sites. 

Federal and non-federal partners are the 

targeted users, Personally Identifiable 

Information (PII) will not be collected. 

The data collected will be used as 

input into research models of habitat 

utilization by beach-dependent 

species—primarily shorebirds. Model 

outputs will be used to understand 

habitat availability and utilization in the 

future as the coast evolves in response 

to climate and sea-level change. This 

information can be used to inform land 

and species management decisions. 

The USGS office leading the program 

is the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine 

Science Center, in collaboration with 

the USGS Center for Integrated Data 

Analytics, and the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service. 

II. Data 

OMB Control Number: 1028—NEW. 

Title: Classification of biogeomorphic 

attributes and imagery of coastal 

habitats. 

Type of Request: Approval of new

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Department of the Interior, BLM, 

is requesting OMB approval to collect 

information from visitors to the St. 

Anthony Sand Dunes (SASD) planning 

area, located in eastern Idaho on public 

lands administered under the Medicine 

Lodge Resource Management Plan 

(RMP). The information collected will 

determine changes in visitor 

characteristics, including demographics, 

usage, user conflicts and perspectives 

toward management programs and

facilities. The planning area includes 

lands designated as a Wilderness Study 

Area, a Special Recreation Management 

Area (SRMA) and an Area of Critical 

Environmental Concern (ACEC). Most 

recreational use occurs on the 25 

percent of the project planning area that 

has these special designations. The BLM 

Planning for Recreation and Visitor 

Services Handbook states that SRMAs 

may need to develop additional 

guidance in a Recreation Area 

Management Plan (RAMP) for 

addressing complex implementation 

issues not specifically addressed in the 

RMP for an area. In this case, 

information collected at the SASD will 

provide guidance when writing a RAMP 

that will provide specific direction for 

on-the-ground implementation of the 

RMP. 

In 2013, a site-specific study was 

conducted by the University of Idaho 

and the BLM at the BLM-managed Egin 

Lakes Campground, which is located 

within the SRMA and ACEC. This study 

collected data on visitor demographics, 

visitor views on facilities and resource 

conditions, and visitor expectations for 

the campground and the surrounding 

area. The proposed visitor use survey 

will supplement the 2013 data with 

additional information on subjects such 

as existing and proposed management 

actions, issuance of Special Recreation 

Permits, conflicts between visitors, and 

travel management issues. For this new 

information collection, the University of 

Idaho will serve as the lead investigator 

and utilize a similar approach as in the 

previous study. Methods include 

administering onsite questionnaires to 

visitors on a stratified random sampling 

basis and distributing mail-back 

questionnaires (with an online option) 

to identified interests in the area (for 

example, local elected officials, 

recreation and environmental groups, 

and visitors whose contact information 

we gathered during 2014). The 

questionnaire will ask respondents 

about user conflicts, observable resource 

impacts, attitudes toward various 

resource values, sources of information 

about the campground sites, 

perspectives on facilities, commercial 

activities and associated management, 

and basic demographic data including 

level of education, age, and 

organizational affiliations. The survey 

will be conducted during the summer 

season (May through October), when 

visitation rates are highest. 

II. Data 

OMB Control Number: 1004–XXXX. 

Title: Visitor Use Survey. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Description of Respondents: Visitors 

and recreationists. 

Respondents’ obligation: Voluntary. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The 

estimated reporting burden for this 

collection is 845 responses and 211 

hours. The following table details the

III. Request for Comments 

OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320, 

which implement provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501–3521), require that interested 

members of the public and affected 

agencies be provided an opportunity to 

comment on information collection and 

recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 

1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)). The BLM will 

request that the OMB approve this 

information collection activity for a 3- 

year term. Comments are invited on: (1) 

The need for the collection of 

information for the performance of the 

functions of the agency; (2) The 

accuracy of the agency’s burden 

estimates; (3) Ways to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information collection; and (4) Ways to 

minimize the information collection 

burden on respondents, such as use of 

automated means of collection of the 

information. A summary of the public 

comments received will accompany the 

BLM’s submission of the information 

collection request to OMB. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

email address, or other personal 

identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
