utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality,

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations on the proposed

(CEIWR-MD), Alexandria, Virginia 22315-3868. ATTN: (Stuart A. Davis). 
Consideration will be given to all comments received within 60 days of 
the date of publication of this notice.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on this 
proposed information collection or to obtain a copy of the proposal and 
associated collection instruments, please write to the above address, 
or call Department of the Army Reports Clearance Officer at (703) 602-
0636.
    Title and OMB Number: Corps of Engineers Civil Works 
Questionnaire--Generic Clearance; OMB Control Number 0710-0001.
    Needs and Uses: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineer utilizes the data 
collected from the questionnaire items for planning data to formulate 
and evaluate alternative water resources development plans, to 
determine the effectiveness and evaluate the impacts of Corps projects, 
and in the case of the flood damage mitigation, to obtain information 
on flood damage incurred, whether or not a project is being considered 
or exists. All survey questionnaires are administered either by face-
to-face, mail, or telephone methods. Public surveys are used to gather 
data for planning and operating Corps projects and facilities and to 
determine public preferences and satisfaction.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; business or other for-
profit; not-for-profit institutions; farms; State, local or tribal 
government.
    Annual Burden Hours: 17,750.
    Number of Respondents: 214,150.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.

[[Page 35415]]

    Average Burden Per Response: 5 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All survey questionnaires are carefully 
selected to minimize undue burden on the public and are subject to 
internal controls and pre-testing before actual use. Duplication is 
avoided by close coordination with state and local agencies as well as 
other Federal agencies and, whenever possible, participation in joint 
data collection efforts. Most of the Corps of Engineers civil works 
survey information is collected for very unique circumstances, such as 
visitor information at Corps recreation areas or flood damage 
information related to the Corps evaluation procedures. Much of this 
information is required to be very current and must be updated every 
one to two years.
