*Title:*                     Public Support for Fuel Reduction Policies: Multimedia versus Printed  Materials.                 

*OMB Control Number:*                     0596-NEW.                 

*Summary of Collection:*                     This information collection is being undertaken to solicit information on public support of two fuel reduction programs; prescribed burning and mechanical treatment. To gather the information needed for the study, a stratified random sample of California and Montana residents will be contacted by telephone through a random-digit dialing process. Those who agree to participate in the study will be asked an introductory set of questions to determine their pre-existing knowledge of fuels reduction treatments. This study will provide credible information to fire managers to plan fuels reduction treatment programs acceptable to the communities. In addition it will allow for the testing of whether a self-administered video survey elicits more support for prescribed burning and mechanical fuels treatment programs than a paper-based survey. The Healthy Forests Restoration Act (Pub. L. 108-148) gives the Forest Service the authority to collect this information.                 

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     Researchers will evaluate the responses of California and Montana residents to different scenarios related to fire hazard reduction program. Information collected will help natural resource and fire managers to better understand the public's opinions on fuels reduction activities and what type of media could be more effective in conveying information to the public. Without the information the agencies with fire protection responsibilities will lack the capability to evaluate the general public understanding of proposed fuels reduction projects and programs or their willingness-to-pay for implementing such programs.                 

*Description of Respondents:*                     Individuals or households.                 

*Number of Respondents:*                     1,400.                 

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting: Other (one-time).                 

*Total Burden Hours:*                     612.
