32638 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 116 / Friday, June 15, 2001 / Notices

We use a stratified sampling

technique for categories 1 through 8;

categories 9 and 10 use intercept

surveys. We use a general sampling

technique for categories 11 through 13.

The randomize sample we pull from the

database will include an estimated

1,200 persons unless the database

population is less than 1,200, at which

point we will survey all. We set an 80%

response rate goal. Whenever possible,

we choose telephone surveys over mail

surveys.

We develop questionnaires with the

help of focus groups from around the

country. We ask questions in the

following general areas:

(1) Program specific (i.e., processing

permits, recordation of mining claims,

facilities and access to public land for

recreation);

(2) Service delivery;

(3) Management practices;

(4) Resource protection;

(5) Rules, regulations, and policies;

(6) Communication with the public;

(7) Overall satisfaction; and

(8) General demographics.

IV. Requests for Comments

We are particularly interested in

comments on the actions discussed in

Items II and III. We provide the

following guidelines to assist you in

responding.

General Issues

A. Is the proposed collection of

information in categories 1 through 13

(see III) necessary, taking into account

accuracy, adequacy, and reliability, and

the agency’s ability to process the

information in a useful and timely

fashion?

B. What enhancements can the BLM

and USDAFS make to the quality,

utility, and clarity of the information to

be collected?

As a Potential Respondent

A. We estimate the average public

reporting burden for a customer survey

is 15 minutes per response (13,000

respondents per year × 15 minutes per

response = 3,250 hours annually). For

comment cards, we estimate the average

public reporting burden is three minutes

per response (30,000 respondents per

year × three minutes per response =

1,500 hours annually).

The information collection burden

includes the total time, effort, or

financial resources we expend to

generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or

provide the information including to:

(1) Review instructions;

(2) Develop, acquire, install, and

utilize technology and systems for

purposes to collect, validate, verify,

process, maintain, disclose, and provide

information;

(3) Adjust the existing ways to comply

with any previously applicable

instructions and requirements;

(4) Train personnel to respond to a

collection of information;

(5) Search data sources;

(6) Complete and review the

collection of information; and

(7) Transmit or otherwise to disclose

the information.

Please comment on (1) the accuracy of

our estimate and (2) how the agencies

could minimize the burden of the

collection information, including the

use of automated collection techniques.

B. The BLM and USDAFS estimate

that respondents will incur no

additional costs for reporting other than

the time required to complete the

collection. The estimates should take

into account the costs associated to

generate, maintain, and disclose or

provide information.

C. Do you know of any other Federal,

State, or local agency collecting similar

data? If you do, specify the agency,

collection element(s), and the methods

of collection.

As a Potential User

Are there any alternative sources of

data? Do you use them? If so, what are

their deficiencies and/or strengths?

BLM will summarize all responses to

this notice and include them in the

request for OMB approval. All

comments will also become a matter of

public record.
