    Title: BLM's Generic Customer Satisfaction Surveys and Focus 
Groups, OMB approval number: 1004-0172
    Abstract: BLM is proposing to extend, with revisions, the approval 
of an information collection for determining the satisfaction of its 
customers with its programs and services. The currently approved 
collection covered all survey instruments, both customer comment cards 
and telephone surveys, and the use of focus groups to determine what 
questions to ask and comments to solicit. The revised collection will 
concern only customer comment cards for specific programs and a generic 
comment card for all other programs and uses. The program-specific 
comment cards are as follows: rights-of-way, land management 
transactions, recreation permittees, mining claim recordation, 
information access centers, recreation and education users, and grazing 
permits and leases. The revised collection would also cover comment 
cards posted on the Internet, including the joint BLM/Forest Service 
electronic comment card posted at <a href="http://www.fs.fed.us/recreation/
permits/survey.htm">http://www.fs.fed.us/recreation/
permits/survey.htm</a>
    Bureau Form Number: Not applicable.
    Frequency: Once.
    Description of Respondents: General customers (i.e., rights-of-way, 
land management transactions, recreational permits, mining claim 
recordation, oil and gas leases, information access centers, 
recreational and educational users, and grazing permits and leases) of 
the BLM who have program-specific or general comments to provide.
    Annual Responses: 10,000.
