Information Collection Submitted to the Office of Management and 
Budget for Review Under the Paperwork Reduction Act

    The proposal for the collection of information reproduced below has 
been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for approval 
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 
35). An expedited review has been requested in accordance with the Act, 
since allowing for the normal review period would adversely affect the 
public interest for the reasons given below. Approval has been 
requested by June 30, 1995. Comments and suggestions on the proposal 
should be made directly to the bureau clearance officer listed below 
and to the Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project 
(1089-NBS1), Washington, DC 20503; telephone 302-395-7340.
    Title: Technology Transfer Planning--client response.
    OMB Approval Number: 1089-NBS1.
    Abstract: With the transfer of the National Ecology Research Center 
of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to the National Biological 
Service in Fiscal Year 1994 a need exists to redirect technology 
transfer efforts for the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) 
and the Habitat Evaluation Procedure (HEP). A sample of clients drawn 
from past training participants will be asked to identify their 
priority needs related to enhancements for continued use of these 
computer based technologies.
    Reason for Expedited Review: To comply with a fiscal year 
technology upgrade deadline and because of the hardship which would be 
imposed on agency trainers by failure to implement this new requirement 
before the end of the current quarter.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Description of Respondents: Training participants and current users 
of the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology and Habitat Evaluation 
Procedures Technologies.
    Estimated Completion Time: 30 minutes.
    Annual Responses: 1200.
    Annual Burden Hours: 600.
    Bureau Clearance Officer: Don Minnich 202-482-4838.
