and Values of Resources Downstream of Glen Canyon Dam

AGENCY: U.S. Geological Survey, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we, 
the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are proposing a new information 
collection.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 
June 10, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Send your comments on the information collection request 
(ICR) by mail to the U.S. Geological Survey, Information Collections 
Clearance Officer, 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, MS 159, Reston, VA 
20192; or by email to [email protected]. Please reference 
OMB Control Number 1028-NEW in the subject line of your comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request additional information 
about this ICR, contact U.S. Geological Survey by email at 
[email protected], or by telephone at 928-556-7362.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies 
with an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps us assess the impact of our 
information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting 
burden. It also helps the public understand our information collection 
requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format.
    We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described 
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper 
functions of the USGS; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the USGS enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the USGS minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone 
number, email 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 may 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.
    Abstract: The National Park Service (NPS) Act of 1916, 38 Stat 535, 
16 U.S.C. 1, et seq., requires that the NPS preserve national parks for 
the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. This 
collection will provide the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program 
(GCDAMP) with information about tribal stakeholder's perspectives on 
the condition and protection of natural and cultural resources in Glen 
and Grand Canyons. Identifying tribal preferences and values for 
natural and cultural resources in Glen and Grand Canyons is a high 
priority for the GCDAMP. There are substantial ongoing and prior 
studies exploring the preferences and values recreationists and the 
general public hold for resources (for example, whitewater rafting and 
hydropower) in Glen and Grand Canyons. However, there is almost a 
complete absence of relevant prior tribal socioeconomic studies 
exploring this information. This collection will provide information 
needed to inform decisions on management actions and policies related 
to operation of Glen Canyon Dam. This notice will cover the development 
and pretesting of the final survey instrument.
    Title of Collection: Tribal Perspectives for and Values of 
Resources Downstream of Glen Canyon Dam.
    OMB Control Number: 1028-NEW.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: New.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals/households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 350.

    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 700.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Frequency of Collection: One time.
    Total Estimated Annual Non-hour Burden Cost: We have not identified 
any ``non-hour cost'' burdens associated with this collection of 
information.
    An agency 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.
    The authorities for this action are the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.).
