SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The information collection will be 

done by trained and vetted personnel to 

record information about habitats on 

coastal beaches and the environment 

surrounding them. It will collect 

geographic location information, date 

and time of observation, site 

identification information, photographic 

images, and includes a simple 

biogeomorphic landscape classification 

of geomorphologic and vegetation 

characteristics surrounding nest sites. 

Federal and non-federal partners are the 

targeted users, Personally Identifiable 

Information (PII) will not be collected. 

The data collected will be used as 

input into research models of habitat 

utilization by beach-dependent 

species—primarily shorebirds. Model 

outputs will be used to understand 

habitat availability and utilization in the 

future as the coast evolves in response 

to climate and sea-level change. This 

information can be used to inform land 

and species management decisions. 

The USGS office leading the program 

is the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine 

Science Center, in collaboration with 

the USGS Center for Integrated Data 

Analytics, and the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service. 

II. Data 

OMB Control Number: 1028—NEW. 

Title: Classification of biogeomorphic 

attributes and imagery of coastal 

habitats. 

Type of Request: Approval of new 

information collection. 

Respondent Obligation: None 

(participation is voluntary). 

Frequency of Collection: Data will be 

collected on an occasional basis, 

typically during the active growing and 

breeding season (May–September). 

Description of Respondents: 

Employees of non-governmental 

organizations, non-federal cooperators/

collaborators (e.g., academic scientists, 

resource managers), State, or local 

entities (state agencies, counties, towns). 

Estimated Total Number of Annual 

Responses: There will be 100 new 

training responses with 4000 

observation responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: We 

estimate that training will require 20 

minutes per person one time. Recording 

observations will take 5 minutes per 

person at each site. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 364. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’ 

Burden: There are no ‘‘non-hour cost’’ 

burdens associated with this collection 

of information. 

Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA

agency may not conduct or sponsor and 

you are not required to respond to a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Comments: On September 12, 2014, 

we published a Federal Register notice 

(79 FR 54742) announcing that we 

would submit this ICR to OMB for 

approval and soliciting comments. The 

comment period closed on November 

12, 2014. We received no comments. 

III. Request for Comments 

We again invite comments concerning 

this ICR as to: (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) how to 

enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) how to minimize the 

burden on the respondents, including 

the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

Please note that comments submitted 

in response to this notice are a matter 

of public record. Before including your 

personal mailing address, phone
