SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: General: Comments regarding this survey were 
received as a result of the survey being published in the Federal 
Register, Volume 65, Number 206, pages 63606-63617, October 24, 2000. 
We received 54 comments from 3 respondents. Most comments pertained to 
minor textual changes to improve clarity, while others addressed 
specific questions, use of survey data, and implementation of the 
survey. Comments regarding textual changes were used in revising the 
survey to the extent possible.
    Written Comments:
    Issue 1: One response suggested that Part A, question 12 and Part 
B, question 9 fail to address interstate boating facility needs.
    Response: The survey instrument is designed to allow States to 
assess their boating access needs. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 
will use the results of the State surveys to create a comprehensive 
national boating access needs assessment to address interstate access 
needs.
    Issue 2: We received one comment suggesting that Part A, question 
18 requesting subjective comments pertaining to recreational boating 
was too broad and should be limited to transient boating facilities. 
Similar comments were made regarding Part B, question 13; Part C, 
question 12; and Part D, question 23.
    Response: Reducing subjective comments to only those concerning 
transient facilities is too limiting. However, we do agree that 
subjective comments must remain focused on facility issues. In response 
to this comment, we added the word ``facilities'' after ``recreational 
boating'' in the questions.
    Issue 3: Two comments identified faulty numbering of questions in 
the survey instrument.
    Response: We revised the numbering of the questions in all Parts of 
the survey.
    Issue 4: One respondent suggested an answer for Part B, question 10 
be revised to include portable toilet dump

[[Page 745]]

stations instead of waste pumpouts due to the frequent use of portable 
toilets by operators of boats under 26 feet in length.
    Response: We agree in part with this comment and revised the 
available answer in Part A, question 13 and Part B, question 10 to read 
as follows, ``pumpout/portable toilet dump stations.'' Similar changes 
were also made to Part C and Part D.
    Issue 5: A comment regarding Part B, question 11 suggested the 
answers be revised to include launch lanes and parking areas as these 
are facilities desired by operators of trailerable boats. A similar 
comment was made regarding Part C, question 16.
    Response: Part B, question 10 specifically addresses the 
satisfaction levels of boaters regarding launch ramps and parking 
areas. Part C, question 16 specifically addresses parking areas, 
restrooms, and launch areas. No changes were made in response to these 
comments.
    Issue 6: Two comments suggested the respondent identifying question 
in Part C be revised to clearly distinguish between public and private 
facilities.
    Response: We agree and revised the answer set to clearly identify 
public and private providers.
    Issue 7: A comment suggested revising Part C, question 4 to focus 
on transient slips.
    Response: We disagree as the survey was designed to assess the 
needs for all recreational boating facilities. We did not change Part 
C, question 4 in response to this comment.
    Issue 8: One respondent was unclear about which questions in Part A 
refer to boats greater than or equal to 26 feet in length. The same 
comment was made regarding Parts B, C, and D.
    Response: We agree and revised instructions in each Part for 
clarification.
    Issue 9: A respondent suggested adding logistical instructions to 
Part A questions 1-3, Part B questions 1-3, and Part C question 1 
informing respondents how to return completed surveys to the 
appropriate location.
    Response: Each State agency administering the survey is responsible 
for providing logistical instructions to ensure the proper return of 
completed surveys. However, in response to this comment, we added 
instructions directing the respondents to return completed surveys.
    Issue 10: One respondent suggested altering the available answers 
in Part A, question 5 and Part B, question 5 to clarify where the 
vessels are kept during the boating season.
    Response: We agree and changed the answer sets in each question to 
clearly identify that the general location is the desired response.
    Issue 11: One comment suggested that the words ``transient tie-up 
facilities'' in Part A, question 11 are jargon and require definition.
    Response: The meaning of ``transient tie-up facilities'' is defined 
in the Boating Infrastructure Grant Program final rule which appeared 
in the Federal Register on January 18, 2001, Volume 66, Number 12, 
pages 5282-5294. No change was made in response to this comment.
    Issue 12: One comment suggested Part C and Part D would be easier 
to complete if respondents were able to focus on answering questions 
pertaining to each facility managed, as opposed to answering questions 
for all facilities before continuing to the next question.
    Response: During the revision of this survey, developers discussed 
this option. In order to keep the survey as short as possible, the 
current format was selected with the understanding that States 
administering the survey have substantial flexibility regarding 
presentation of the survey to potential respondents. No change was made 
in response to this comment.
    Title: Boating Infrastructure Grant Program Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 1018-0106 expires 3/31/2003. The Service 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.
    Service Form Number: 3-2187.
    Frequency of Collection: One-time.
    Description and Use: The Service administers the Boating 
Infrastructure Grant Program authorized by the Federal Aid in Sport 
Fish Restoration Act. Under the Act, as amended, the Service is 
responsible for development of a survey to assess the needs for 
facilities for recreational boaters. This survey was previously 
approved under the referenced OMB control number. This request is for 
approval of changes to the previously approved survey instrument. These 
changes include dropping certain questions, rewording others for 
clarity, and reformatting the questionnaire, making it easier to 
understand and use. These changes reduced the hourly burden on 
respondents by 20,277 hours. Changes are discussed in detail in this 
notice under Supplementary Information.
    Additional Information: The Service submitted the following 
information collection requirement to OMB for review and approval under 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments are 
invited on (1) whether 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 estimates of burden of the collection of information; 
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and, (4) ways to minimize the burden of 
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of 
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
    Description of Respondents: Boaters and/or boating access providers 
in the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the District of 
Columbia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, the
