A Federal Register notice with a 60-

comments on this collection of 

information was published on January

received. 

As part of our continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burdens, we are again soliciting 

comments from the public and other 

Federal agencies on the proposed ICR 

that is described below. We are 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following: 

(1) Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether or not the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) How might the agency minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of response. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. Before including your 

address, phone number, email address, 

or other personally identifiable 

information (PII) in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment—including your PII—may be 

made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your PII from public review, 

we cannot guarantee that we will be 

able to do so. 

Abstract: Respondents supply the 

U.S. Geological Survey with bird count 

data for more than 600 North American 

bird species. These data and the 

analyzed relative abundance and 

population trend estimates derived from 

them will be made available via the 

internet and through special 

publications, which are used by 

Government agencies, industry, 

education programs, and the general 

public. We will protect information 

from respondents considered 

proprietary under the Freedom of 

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), its 

implementing regulations (43 CFR part 

2), and in accordance with ‘‘Data and 

information to be made available to the 

public or for limited inspection’’ (30 

CFR 250.197). Responses are voluntary. 

No questions of a ‘sensitive’ nature are 

asked.
