Request for Information To Inform 

Interagency Efforts To Develop the 

American Conservation and 

Stewardship Atlas 

AGENCY: Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Request for information and 

notice of public listening sessions. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Interior (Department), on behalf of an 

interagency working group co-led with 

the Council on Environmental Quality 

(CEQ), Department of Agriculture 

(USDA), and Department of Commerce 

(DOC) through National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is 

soliciting comments to inform how the 

American Conservation and 

Stewardship Atlas (Atlas) can best serve 

as a useful tool for the public and how 

it should reflect a continuum of 

conservation actions in the America the 

Beautiful initiative, recognizing that 

many uses of lands and waters can be 

consistent with the long-term health of 

natural systems and contribute to 

addressing climate change and 

environmental injustices. The input 

received will be used to develop the 

Atlas. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments by 11:59 p.m. on 

March 7, 2022. 

The interagency group will host 

virtual public listening sessions at the 

dates and times below. 

• Thursday, January 13, 2022, 2:00–3:30 

p.m. ET 

• Wednesday, January 19, 2022, 6:00– 

7:30 p.m. ET 

• Friday, January 21, 2022, 11:00 a.m.– 

12:30 p.m. ET 

Specific details will be posted on the 

Department’s America the Beautiful web 

page on January 4, 2022. Listening 

sessions may end before the time noted 

above if all those participating have 

completed their oral comments. 

ADDRESSES: Comments must be 

submitted through https://

www.regulations.gov and will be 

available for public viewing and 

inspection. In the Search box, enter the 

docket number presented above in the 

document headings. For best results, do 

not copy and paste the number; instead, 

type the docket number into the Search 

box using hyphens. Then, click on the 

Search button. You may submit a 

comment by clicking on ‘‘Comment.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Section 216(a) of Executive Order 

14008 established the first-ever national 

conservation goal, calling for the 

conservation of ‘‘at least 30 percent of 

U.S. lands and waters by 2030.’’ In 

accordance with Executive Order 14008, 

the Department, USDA, DOC, and CEQ 

released the Conserving and Restoring 

America the Beautiful report on May 6, 

2021. The report calls for a decade-long 

national initiative to advance locally led 

conservation and restoration on public, 

private, and Tribal lands and waters. It 

acknowledges—and celebrates—the 

wide-ranging contributions that diverse 

conservation efforts can make to the 

initiative and its goals of tackling 

climate change, sustaining biodiversity, 

and increasing equitable access to 

nature. 

The report emphasizes that there is a 

continuum of conservation in America 

that aligns with the guiding principles 

of the initiative. These core principles 

commit the effort to: 

• Pursue a Collaborative and Inclusive 

Approach to Conservation 

• Conserve America’s Lands and Waters 

for the Benefit of All People 

• Support Locally Led and Locally 

Designed Conservation Efforts 

• Honor Tribal Sovereignty and Support 

the Priorities of Tribal Nations 

• Pursue Conservation and Restoration 

Approaches that Create Jobs and 

Support Healthy Communities 

• Honor Private Property Rights and 

Support the Voluntary Stewardship 

Efforts of Private Landowners and 

Fishers 

• Use Science as a Guide 

• Build on Existing Tools and Strategies 

with an Emphasis on Flexibility and 

Adaptive Approaches 

The report also outlines the six areas 

of focus that elected officials, Tribal 

leaders, and stakeholders lifted up as 

early opportunities for successful 

collaboration: Creating more parks and 

safe outdoor opportunities in naturedeprived communities; supporting 

Tribally led conservation and 

restoration priorities; expanding 

collaborative conservation of fish and 

wildlife habitats and corridors; 

increasing access for outdoor recreation; 

incentivizing and rewarding the 

voluntary conservation efforts of fishers, 

ranchers, farmers, and forest owners; 

and creating jobs by investing in 

restoration and resilience. 

The report specifies that an 

interagency working group will develop 

an Atlas through interagency 

collaboration to develop and track a 

clear baseline of information on lands 

and waters that are conserved or 

restored. The Atlas is intended to be an 

accessible, updated, and comprehensive 

tool through which to measure the 

progress of conservation, stewardship, 

and restoration efforts in a manner that 

reflects the goals and principles of the 

initiative. The interagency group, co-led 

by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 

within the Department as well as USDA 

and NOAA, in partnership with CEQ 

and other Federal agencies, will develop 

the Atlas with input from the public, 

States, Tribal Nations, scientists, and a 

wide range of stakeholders. While 

agencies have already received feedback 


tkelley on DSK125TN23PROD with NOTICE 
236 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 2 / Tuesday, January 4, 2022 / Notices 

on the America the Beautiful initiative 

from a broad set of stakeholders, this 

request for information offers a formal 

comment period to collect input specific 

to the development of the Atlas. The 

group is seeking input from the public 

on the following: 

• Science and Data. What data 

sources, standards, and technical 

approaches should be applied to data 

included in the Atlas to ensure that it 

is an authoritative and useful tool for 

the public? 

• Conservation as a Continuum. How 

can the Atlas reflect the meaningful 

conservation work already underway in 

America? 

Æ What stewardship actions should 

be considered, in addition to permanent 

protections, to capture a more complete 

picture of conservation and restoration 

in America? 

Æ What are the attributes of lands and 

waters that should be included in the 

Atlas? Considerations could include, for 

example, a clearly defined geographic 

boundary, status of ecological function, 

representation of species and habitats, 

extent of disturbance, expected future 

risks from climate change or other 

human stressors, ecosystem 

connectivity, or durability of 

management status. 

Æ How can the Atlas best reflect the 

contributions of State, local, Tribal, 

territorial, and private lands? 

• Outcomes. How can the Atlas best 

reflect land and water contributions to 

biodiversity, climate change mitigation 

and resilience, and equitable access to 

nature and its benefits?

Abstract: Reclamation is responsible 

for approximately 6.5 million acres of 

land which directly support 

Reclamation’s Federal water projects in 

the 17 Western States. Under Title 43 

CFR part 429, individuals or entities 

wanting to use Reclamation’s lands, 

facilities, or waterbodies must apply 

using Form 7–2540. Examples of such 

uses are: 

—Agricultural uses such as grazing and 

farming; 

—commercial or organized recreation 

and sporting activities; 

—other commercial activities such as 

‘‘guiding and outfitting’’ and ‘‘filming 

and photography;’’ and, 

—resource exploration and extraction, 

including sand and gravel removal 

and timber harvesting. 

We review applications to determine 

whether granting individual use 

authorizations are compatible with 

Reclamation’s present or future uses of 

the lands, facilities, or waterbodies. 

When we find a proposed use 

compatible, we advise the applicant of 

the estimated administrative costs and 

estimated application processing time. 

In addition to the administrative costs, 

we require the applicant to pay a use fee 

based on a valuation or by competitive
