SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This Notice corrects and supplements 

the Notice that was published on 

August 30, 2010. 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, 

which implement the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13), 

require that interested members of the 

public and affected agencies have an 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection and recordkeeping activities 

(see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)). This notice 

identifies an information collection 

activity that the Office of the Secretary 

has submitted to OMB for revision. 

The Klamath River provides habitat 

for fall and spring run Chinook salmon 

(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho 

salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), 

steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), 

green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris), 

Pacific lamprey (Lampetra tridentate), 

and Pacific eulachon (Thaleichthys 

pacificus). Some of these species are 

important components of non-tribal 

harvest (e.g., fall Chinook, steelhead), 

some have important subsistence and 

cultural value to Klamath Basin tribes 

(e.g., salmon, sturgeon, lamprey, 

eulachon), and some are at low levels of 

abundance or Endangered Species Actlisted (e.g., spring Chinook, lamprey, 

coho, eulachon). 

Studies on the potential removal of 

four dams on the Klamath River owned 

by PacifiCorp are being conducted as a 

result of the Klamath Hydroelectic 

Settlement Agreement (KHSA) executed 

February 18, 2010. Under the KHSA, the 

Secretary of the Interior is to determine 

by March 31, 2012, whether the 

potential removal of these dams will 

advance restoration of the salmonid 

fisheries of the Klamath Basin and is in 

the public interest, which includes but 

is not limited to consideration of 

potential impacts on affected local 

communities and Tribes. The 

determination will be based on a 

number of factors, including an 

economic analysis. One part of the 

economic analysis is a non-use 

valuation survey that is designed to 

determine the potential benefits of dam 

removal that may accrue to members of 

the U.S. public who value such 

improvements regardless of whether 

they consume Klamath Basin fish or 

visit the Klamath Basin. Non-use 

valuation surveys such as the one 

discussed herein are routinely included 

as a part of the economic analysis for 

large-scale water development projects. 

II. Data 

Title: Klamath Non-Use Valuation 

Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 1090–0010. 

Type of Review: Revision of an 

approved collection. 

Affected Entities: Households. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Frequency of Response: One time. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 10,885 households who 

will receive the survey (3,389 

respondents and 7,496 nonrespondents). 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

3,389. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

base for this survey is 10,885 

households. The households will be 

divided into two mailing groups, at a 

10/90 split. The first wave of mailings 

will be to 10% of the households. 17% 

of households are estimated to respond, 

which will take 30 minutes. Nonrespondents will take 3 minutes. The 

second mailing will be sent to the 

remaining 83% of non-respondent 

households. 10% of the households are 

estimated to respond to the second 

mailing, taking 30 minutes. The second 

group of non-respondents are estimated 

to spend 3 minutes. The Department 

will then conduct preliminary analysis. 

The second wave of mailings will be 

to the remaining 90% of the households. 

17% of households are estimated to 

respond, which will take 30 minutes. 

Non-respondents will take 3 minutes. 

The second phase will be sent to the 

remaining 83% of non-respondent 

households. 10% of the households are 

estimated to respond to the second 

mailing, taking 30 minutes. The second 

group of non-respondents are estimated 

to spend 3 minutes. 

The remaining non-respondents from 

the second mailings will be split into 

two groups in a 80/20 split. It is 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
54648 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 8, 2010 / Notices 

assumed that 65% of the nonrespondent households will have a 

phone number. Both groups will be sent 

another copy of the survey. For the 

households with a phone number, a non 

response bias call will be made, taking 

an estimated 2 to 5 minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 3,205 hours. 

III. Request for Comments 

On June 9, 2009, we published in the 

Federal Register (74 FR 27340) a request 

for public comments on this proposed 

survey. No comments were received. 

This notice provides the public with an 

additional opportunity to comment on 

the proposed information collection 

activity. The Department of the Interior 

invites comments on: 

(1) Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

and 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) Ways to 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 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons 

to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or 

prove information to or for a Federal 

agency. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid 

Office of Management and Budget 

control number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Information is collected from the 

public regarding the distribution of 

nonindigenous aquatic species, 

primarily fish, in open waters of the 

United States. This is vital information 

for early detection and rapid response 

for the possible eradication of organisms 

that may be considered invasive in a 

natural environment such as a lake, 

river, stream, and pond. These species 

are not native to the environment in 

which they are now found. 

Nonindigenous species can and do have 

negative impacts on our native species. 

Early detection is a major focus of the 

Bureau. The public can help us with 

this task by serving as the ‘‘eyes and 

ears’’ for the Survey’s Program because 

the USGS cannot be everywhere, 

observing and monitoring all open 

waters for nonindigenous aquatic 

species. 

The USGS does not actively solicit 

this information; a form is posted on our 

website to be completed with biologic, 

geographic and sender information. It is 

completely voluntary and sent to us 

only when the public has encountered 

a nonindigenous aquatic organism, 

usually through fishing or some other 

outdoor recreational activity and they 

chose to let us know. 

We may not conduct or sponsor and 

a person is not required to respond to 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

II. Data 

OMB Control Number: 1028–NEW. 

Title: Nonindigenous Aquatic Species 

Sighting Reporting Form. 

Type of Request: This is an existing 

collection in use without an OMB 

control number or expiration date. 

Affected Public: State and local 

government employees and private 

individuals. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 1,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

1,000. 

Estimated Time per Response: 10 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 167 hours. 

III. Request for Comments 

We invite comments concerning this 

ICR on: (a) Whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the agency to perform its duties, 

including whether the information is 

useful; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden on the respondents, including 

the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. Before including your 

address, phone number, e-mail address 

or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment including your personal 

identifying information, may be made 

publically available at anytime. While 

you can ask OMB in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that will be done.
