DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 
April 29, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collections should be submitted within 30 days of 
publication of this notice to https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find the information collections by selecting ``Currently

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall 
Foundation's National Center, in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), previously 
provided the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to 
comment on proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information 
during a 60-day period in the Federal Register, 88 FR 63630, September 
15, 2023. No comments were received and therefore no changes were made 
based on public comment. However, the Udall Foundation decided to 
consolidate the six initially proposed Information Collection Request 
(ICR) renewals into two ICRs. Five of the initially proposed ICRs have 
been consolidated under a single OMB Control Number with multiple 
Information Collections (ICs) contained within it. The proposed ICRs 
are necessary to measure, improve, and report on National Center 
performance and delivery of its services. They are not expected to have 
a significant economic impact on respondents or to affect a substantial 
number of small entities. Please note that written comments received in 
response to this notice will be considered public records.
    Title of Collection: Environmental Conflict Resolution Services 
Participant Questionnaires.
    OMB Control Number: 3320-0003.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or households; business or 
other for-profit; not-for-profit; federal government; and state, local 
or tribal government.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 765.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 100.
    Abstract: The ICs used for this program are being consolidated 
under a single ICR. All will be separate ICs under OMB Control Number 
3320-0003. These ICs are:
     National Center for Environmental Conflict Resolution 
Assessment Evaluation--Requester Questionnaire (former OMB Control 
Number 3320-0003);
     Mediation Services Participant Questionnaire (Agreement 
Seeking) (former OMB Control Number 3320-0004);
     Facilitated Meeting/Workshop Services Participant 
Questionnaire (former OMB Control Number 3320-0007);
     ECR Support Services Evaluation--Requester Questionnaire 
(former OMB Control Number 3320-0009); and
     National Center for Environmental Conflict Resolution 
Facilitated Process Evaluation--Participant Questionnaire (former OMB 
Control Number 3320-0010).
    These evaluations support the National Center's program evaluation 
and have the practical utility of supporting achievement of the 
National Center's goals and continuous improvement of service delivery. 
These goals are to assist parties in resolving federal environmental 
disputes in a timely and constructive manner; to increase the 
appropriate use of Environmental Collaboration and Conflict Resolution 
(ECCR), particularly within the federal government; to improve the 
ability of federal agencies and other interested parties to engage in 
ECCR effectively; and to promote collaborative problem solving and 
consensus building during the design and implementation of federal 
environmental policies to help prevent and reduce the incidence of 
future environmental disputes. These evaluations are a primary means by 
which the National Center evaluates its performance in these key areas 
of agency activity.
    Title of Collection: Training Services Participant Questionnaire.
    OMB Control Number: 3320-0006.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or households; business or 
other for-profit; not-for-profit; federal government; and state, local 
or tribal government.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 600.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 55.
    Abstract: This survey collects information to evaluate trainings 
conducted by the National Center. Trainings include any session of 
three hours or more in the following categories: skill-building 
workshops requested by agencies for their staff (e.g., interest-based 
negotiation training for complex intergovernmental conflicts); ECCR 
project-specific capacity building for stakeholders (e.g., stakeholder 
orientations related to multiparty negotiation); and all of the Udall 
Foundation certificate program ECCR trainings. This survey is a primary 
means by which the National Center evaluates its performance on this 
critical agency activity.
