*Abstract:*                     Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) is an interagency program whose goal is to consistently map the location, extent, and burn severity of large fires across all lands of the United States from 1984 to present. MTBS data is distributed in a variety of geospatial formats that are accessible by website download. This survey will allow the MTBS program to assess the needs of its users and how well the program is meeting those needs. This survey will be offered to anyone visiting the MTBS website (                    *www.MTBS.gov*). The survey will be delivered using the Microsoft Forms platform. Participation in the survey will be voluntary. The survey will solicit information pertaining to what data the visitor is                           ( print page 11042)                        interested in, the ease with which those data can be accessed, how the visitor will utilize the accessed data, the visitor's satisfaction with the program and data products, and any suggestions to improvements to products/services the visitor may have. The information collected from this survey will be used to guide program development and changes to better meet the visitor needs. The survey results will be collected and analyzed by federal staff. If this information is not collected the MTBS program will be unable to tailor its products and services to the needs of its users in the government and public domains.
