SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of the Interior, Office of the 

Special Trustee for American Indians 

(DOI/OST) invites tribal government 

leaders to participate in a series of tribal 

consultation sessions. 

Dates and Locations: The tribal 

consultation sessions will be held on 

the following dates and in the following 

locations: 

(1) June 30, 2009 in Oklahoma City, 

OK. 

(2) July 14, 2009 in Rapid City, SD. 

(3) July 29, 2009 in Portland, OR. 

(4) August 4, 2009 in Billings, MT.

developing new tribal share allocation 

formulas that will be used to apportion 

funds for tribes performing, or 

interested in performing, the appraisal 

program pursuant to Public Law 93–638 

contracts and compacts. These formulas 

will ensure uniformity and transparency 

in determining tribal shares and funding 

residual for the inherent federal 

functions. 

A report of each consultation session 

will be prepared and made available 

within 90 days of the consultation to all 

tribal governments that currently 

compact or contract the appraisal 

program. Tribes wishing to submit

Monument in Billings, Montana. This 

notice provides the public an 

opportunity to comment on the 

paperwork burden of this project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The USGS is working with the BLM 

Montana State office to conduct a 

survey of visitors to Pompeys Pillar 

National Monument. The information 

collected will be used by BLM to 

understand the spending trends of 

PPNM visitors in the surrounding local 

communities. This information will also 

be used to calculate the regional 

employment and income effects of 

PPNM visitor spending for the BLM 

Resource Management Plan analysis. 

Collection of these data is necessary for 

a rigorous and objective economic 

analysis that meets the ‘‘hard look’’ 

doctrine that has emerged from case law 

related to NEPA and to meet internal 

guidelines for credible economic 

analysis. The USGS will conduct an onsite survey of visitors to PPNM during 

the summer and fall visitation season 

(mid July–September). 

II. Data 

OMB Control Number: None. This is 

a new collection. 

Title: Pompeys Pillar Visitor Survey. 

Respondent Obligation: Voluntary. 

Frequency of Collection: This is a onetime collection. 

Estimated Number and Description of 

Respondents: Visitors of Pompeys Pillar 

National Monument. 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 630. 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: 91 

hours. We will contact 750 people 

exiting the recreation area. We 

anticipate an 80% response rate. We 

estimate each intercept survey will 

average 9 minutes per response (600 

visitors). We also estimate that it will 

take 2 minutes per response to respond 

to three questions of a sample of 30 

visitors who decline to take the written 

survey. These times includes the time 

for receiving instructions and 

completing the survey. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’ 

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

burdens associated with this collection 

of information. 

III. Request for Comments 

On February 6, 2009, we published a 

Federal Register notice (74 FR 6305) 

soliciting comments announcing that we 

would submit this information to OMB 

for approval. The comment period 

closed on April 7, 2009. We did not 

receive any comments in response to 

that notice. 

We again 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 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask us in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
