SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The U.S. Geological Survey National 

Geospatial Program (NGP) is the Federal 

agency tasked by the Office of 

Management and Budget Circular A–16 

with coordination of the hydrography 

(surface- water features) geospatial data 

theme. The purpose of this study is to 

ensure that the NGP’s management of 

hydrography data theme is optimized to 

fully support the potential of geospatial 

data and information use in water 

science and mapping. 

This one-time, voluntary information 

collection will engage professional users 

of hydrography information, including 

scientists, planners, and managers from 

Federal, state, and local government as 

well as academia and the private sector. 

The process will be guided by an 

interagency management team led by 

USGS with support from a professional 

services contractor. The information 

collection will include an online survey. 

Respondents may be contacted 

subsequently for clarification of 

responses. The information collection 

will focus on (1) respondent’s current 

use of hydrography data, (2) desired 

improvements to hydrography data, and 

(3) benefits accrued to the respondent’s 

mission if enhanced hydrography data 

were available. Personally Identifiable 

Information (PII) will not be sought. The 

results of the information collection will 

be used to evaluate potential future 

program changes for USGS hydrography 

data. A summary of the results will be 

published in a USGS publication. We 

will protect information from 

respondents considered proprietary 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

(5 U.S.C. 552) and it’s implementing 

regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under 

regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data 

and information to be made available to 

the public or for limited inspection.’’ 

All information will be stored according 

to established USGS security and 

information access protocols.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Las 

Vegas and Pahrump Field Offices Draft 

RMP/Draft EIS would replace the 

existing 1998 Las Vegas Field Office 

RMP. The Draft RMP/Draft EIS was 

developed through a collaborative 

planning process. The Las Vegas and 

Pahrump Field Offices Draft RMP/Draft 

EIS decision area encompasses 

approximately 3.1 million acres of 

public land administered by the BLM 

Southern Nevada District in Clark and 

Southern Nye counties, Nevada. It does 

not include private lands, State lands, 

Indian reservations, Federal lands not 

administered by BLM or lands 

addressed in the Red Rock Canyon 

National Conservation Area RMP (2005) 

and Sloan Canyon National 

Conservation Area RMP (2006). The Las 

Vegas and Pahrump Field Offices Draft 

RMP/Draft EIS includes goals, objectives 

and management actions for protecting 

and preserving natural resources which 

includes air quality, soil and water 

resources, vegetation, fish and wildlife, 

special status species, wild horses and 

burros, wildland fire management, 

cultural and paleontological resources, 

visual resource values, and lands with 

wilderness characteristics. Multiple 

resource uses are addressed which 

include management and forage 

allocations for livestock grazing; 

delineation of lands open, closed, or 

subject to special stipulations or 

mitigation measures for minerals 

development; recreation and travel 

management designations; management 

of lands and realty actions, including 

delineation of avoidance and exclusion 

areas applicable to rights-of-ways, land 

tenure adjustments, and solar and wind 

energy development. The planning 

effort will consider establishment of a 

national trail management corridor for 

the congressionally-designated Old 

Spanish National Historic Trail. Eligible 

river segments will be evaluated for 

suitability as components of the 

National Wild and Scenic River System 

and 23 new Areas of Critical 

Environmental Concern (ACECs) are 

proposed. The ACECs are proposed to 

protect natural and cultural resource 

values and traditional Native American 

use areas.
