SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract Reclamation collects Reclamation-wide recreation and concession information (1) in support of existing public laws including the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act (Pub. L. 88-578), the Federal Water Project Recreation Act (Pub. L. 89-72), and the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (Pub. L. 108-477); and (2) to fulfill reports to the President and the Congress. This collection of information allows Reclamation to (1) Meet the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA); (2) fulfill congressional and financial reporting requirements; and (3) support specific information required by Federal legislation and the Department of the Interior's GPRA-based strategic plan. Collected information will permit relevant program assessments of resources managed by Reclamation, its recreation managing partners, and/or concessionaires for the purpose of implementing Reclamation's mission to manage, develop, and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American people. Specifically, the collected information provides Reclamation with the ability to (1) Evaluate program and management effectiveness pertaining to existing recreation and concessionaire resources and facilities; (2) assist in prioritizing Reclamation funding; and (3) validate effective public use of managed recreation resources located on Reclamation project lands in the 17 Western States. II. Changes to the Recreation Use Data Report Forms Parts I and II Reclamation slightly modified Parts I and II forms by reformatting each by (1) Rearranging the questions in a more logical sequence; (2) deleting non-relevant questions; and (3) adding questions that specifically address the recreation program needs of Reclamation. Note that some of the questions asked of the concessionaires in Part II, Form 7-2535 were deleted because some of the information originally being collected from the concessionaires was redundant to the information already being collected from Reclamation's non-Federal partners in Part I, Form 7-2534. In addition, the title to Part I, Form 7-2535 was changed from Managing Partners to Non-Federal Managing Partners to more accurately reflect that Reclamation is only collecting information from our non-Federal partners and not our existing Federal partners.
