As part of our continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burdens, we invite the public and other 

federal agencies to comment on new, 

proposed, revised, and continuing 

collections of information. This helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand our 

information collection requirements and 

provide the requested data in the 

desired format. 

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 the agency might 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. We will include or 

summarize each comment in our request 

to OMB to approve this ICR. 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 

USGS 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.
