SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Office of Management and Budget 

regulation at 5 CFR part 1320, which 

implements the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 

L. 104–13), require that interested 

members of the public and affected 

agencies have an opportunity to 

comment on information collection and 

recordkeeping activities [see 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)]. The Office of Strategic 

Employee and Organization 

Development, Federal Consulting Group 

has submitted a request to Office of 

Management and Budget to renew its 

approval of this collection of 

information for three years. 

This information collection activity 

provides a means to consistently assess, 

benchmark, and improve customer 

satisfaction with Federal Government 

agency Web sites within the Executive 

Branch. The Federal Consulting Group 

of the Department of the Interior serves 

as the executive agent for this 

methodology and has partnered with 

ForeSee to offer this assessment to 

federal agencies. 

ForeSee is a leader in customer 

satisfaction and customer experience 

management on the Web and related 

media. Its methodology (Customer 

Experience Analytics or CXA) is a 

derivative of one of the most respected, 

credible, and well known measures of 

customer satisfaction in the country, the 

American Customer Satisfaction Index 

(ACSI). The ForeSee CXA methodology 

combines survey data and a patented 

econometric model to precisely measure 

the customer satisfaction of Web site 

users, identify specific areas for 

improvement, and determine the impact 

of those improvements on customer 

satisfaction and future customer 

behaviors. 

The ForeSee CXA is the only crossagency methodology for obtaining 

comparable measures of customer 

satisfaction with Federal Government 

Web sites. The ultimate purpose of 

ForeSee CXA is to help improve the 

quality of goods and services available 

to American citizens, including those 

from the Federal government. 

The E-Government Web site Customer 

Satisfaction Surveys will be completed 

subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, 

Public Law 93–579, December 31, 1974 

(5 U.S.C. 522a). The agency information 

collection will be used solely for the 

purpose of the survey. The contractor 

will not be authorized to release any 

agency information upon completion of 

the survey without first obtaining 

permission from the Federal Consulting 

Group and the participating agency. In 

no case shall any new system of records 

containing privacy information be 

developed by the Federal Consulting 

Group, participating agencies, or the 

contractor collecting the data. In 

addition, participating Federal agencies 

may only provide information used to 

randomly selected respondents from 

among established systems of records 

provided for such routine uses. 

There is no other agency or 

organization able to provide the 

information accessible through the 

surveying approach used in this 

information collection. Further, the 

information will enable Federal 

agencies to determine customer 

satisfaction metrics with discrimination 

capability across variables. Thus, this 

information collection will assist 

Federal agencies in making the best use 

of resources in a targeted manner to 

improve service to the public. 

This survey asks no questions of a 

sensitive nature, such as sexual 

behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, 

or other matters that are commonly 

considered private. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it is operating under a currently 

valid Office of Management and Budget 

control number. The Office of 

Management and Budget control 

number for this collection is 1090–0008. 

The control number will be displayed 

on the surveys used. For expeditious 

administration of the surveys, the 

expiration date will not be displayed on 

the individual instruments. Response to 

the surveys is voluntary.

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), announce the 

Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 priority list of 

wildlife and sport fish conservation 

projects from the Association of Fish 

and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA). As 

required by the Wildlife and Sport Fish 

Restoration Programs Improvement Act 

of 2000, AFWA submits a list of projects 

to us each year to consider for funding 

under the Multistate Conservation Grant 

Program. We have reviewed the list and 

have awarded all the grants from the 

list.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John 

C. Stremple, (703) 358–2156 (phone) or 

John_Stremple@fws.gov (email). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration 

Programs Improvement Act of 2000 

(Improvement Act, Pub. L. 106–408) 

amended the Pittman-Robertson 

Wildlife Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 669 

et seq.) and the Dingell-Johnson Sport 

Fish Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 777 et 

seq.) and established the Multistate 

Conservation Grant Program. The 

Improvement Act authorizes us to 

award grants of up to $3 million 

annually from funds available under 

each of the restoration acts, for a total 

of up to $6 million annually. Projects 

can be funded from both funds 

depending on the project activities. We 

may award grants to projects from a list 

of priority projects recommended to us 

by the Association of Fish and Wildlife 

Agencies. The Service Director, 

exercising the authority of the Secretary 

of the Interior, need not fund all projects 

on the list, but all projects funded must 

be on the list. 

Grantees under this program may use 

funds for sport fisheries and wildlife 

management and research projects, 

boating access development, hunter 

safety and education, aquatic education, 

fish and wildlife habitat improvements, 

and other purposes consistent with the 

enabling legislation. 

To be eligible for funding, a project 

must benefit fish and/or wildlife 

conservation for at least 26 States, for a 

majority of the States in any one Service 

Region, or for one of the regional 

associations of State fish and wildlife 

agencies. We may award grants to a 

State, a group of States, or one or more 

nongovernmental organizations. For the 

purpose of carrying out the National 

Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and 

Wildlife-Associated Recreation, we may 

award grants to the Service, if requested 

by AFWA, or to a State or a group of 

States. Also, AFWA requires all project 

proposals to address its National 

Conservation Needs, which AFWA 

announces annually at the same time it 

requests proposals. Further, applicants 

must provide certification that no 

activities conducted under a Multistate 

Conservation Grant will promote or 

encourage opposition to regulated 

hunting or trapping of wildlife, or to 

regulated angling or taking of fish. 

AFWA committees and interested 

nongovernmental organizations that 

represent conservation organizations, 

sportsmen’s and women’s organizations, 

and industries that support or promote 

fishing, hunting, trapping, recreational 

shooting, bowhunting, or archery review 

and rank eligible project proposals. 

AFWA’s Committee on National Grants 

recommends a final list of priority 

projects to the directors of the State fish 

and wildlife agencies for their approval 

by majority vote. By statute, AFWA then 

transmits the final approved list to the 

Service for funding under the Multistate 

Conservation Grant program by October 

1 of the fiscal year. This year, AFWA 

sent us a list of 17 projects that they 

recommended for funding. We have 

awarded all of the recommended 

projects for FY 2015. The list follows:
