SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Proposed Information Collection 

Title: Knowledge and Values Study 

Regarding the Management of Wild 

Horses and Burros. 

OMB Control Number: 1004–NEW. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondents’ obligation: Voluntary. 

Abstract: The BLM protects and 

manages wild horses and burros that 

roam Western public rangelands, under 

the authority of the Wild Free-Roaming 

Horses and Burros Act (Act), 16 U.S.C. 

1331–1340. The Act requires that wild 

horses and burros be managed in a 

manner that is designed to achieve and 

maintain a thriving natural ecological 

balance on the public lands. 16 U.S.C. 

1333(a). Stakeholders and the general 

public hold a variety of views on how 

wild horses and burros should be 

managed. The BLM has determined that 

conducting focus groups, in-depth 

interviews, and a national survey will 

lead to a better understanding of public 

perceptions, values, and preferences 

regarding the management of wild 

horses and burros on public rangelands. 

After reviewing public comments and 

making appropriate revisions, the BLM 

will include the discussion guides in a 

request for OMB approval. Upon 

receiving OMB approval, the BLM will 

conduct the focus groups and in-depth 

interviews. The results of focus groups 

and in-depth interviews will be used to 

help design a national survey, which 

will be the second and final phase of the 

research. 

The BLM will prepare a draft of the 

national survey and publish a second 

60-day notice and invite public 

comments on the draft national survey. 

After reviewing public comments and 

making appropriate revisions, the BLM 

will include the national survey in a 

request for OMB approval. Upon 

receiving OMB approval, the BLM will 

conduct the national survey. 

Need and Proposed Use: The 

proposed research was recommended by 

the National Research Council of the 

National Academy of Sciences in a 2013 

report, Using Science to Improve the 

BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program: A 

Way Forward. Conducting the focus 

groups and in-depth interviews will 

enable the researchers to characterize 

the range of preferences that exist for 

wild horse and burro management. The 

national survey will then assess the 

distribution of these preferences across 

the larger population. The research 

results will assist the BLM to more 

effectively manage wild horses and 

burros by providing information to: 

• Help evaluate the benefits and costs 

of competing rangeland uses and 

various management options; 

• Help identify areas of common 

ground and opportunities for 

collaboration with stakeholder groups; 

and 

• Communicate more effectively with 

the public and with stakeholder groups. 

Description of Respondents: The BLM 

intends to survey a variety of 

respondents for this project by 

conducting focus groups, in-depth 

interviews, and a nationally 

representative survey. For the focus 

groups and in-depth interviews, the 

primary respondents will be individuals 

belonging to a variety of organizations 

that have previously lobbied, 

commented on program policy or 

activities, or have otherwise sought 

influence with the BLM in regard to its 

wild horse and burro program. 

Representatives of wild horse and burro 

advocacy groups, domestic horse 

owners, wild horse adopters, the 

Western livestock grazing community, 

environmental conservationists, 

hunters, and public land managers will 

be included. Nine focus groups across 

three locations around the country and 

up to 12 in-depth interviews will be 

conducted with individuals from these 

groups. Focus group participants will be 

recruited by BLM’s research contractor 

through a variety of approaches tailored 

to the communities participating in the 

discussions. In addition, four focus 

groups (spread across two locations) 

will be conducted with the general 

public to explore public understanding 

of various terms and issues involved in 

wild horse and burro management so 

that the questionnaire for the national 

survey can effectively communicate the 

relevant topics. 

II. Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Burden 

The estimated reporting burden for 

this collection is 142 responses and 272 

hours. There will be no non-hour 

burdens. The following table details the 

individual components and estimated 

hour burdens of this collection.

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 will accompany the 

BLM’s submission of the information 

collection requests 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

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
