Agency Information Collection Activities; Wildlife Video Data
Scoring
AGENCY: U.S. Geological Survey, Department of the Interior.
ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995,
we, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), are proposing to renew an
information collection.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments. To be
consider, your comments must be received on or before July 18, 2025.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by one of the following methods:
[ssquf] Internet: https://www.regulations.gov. Search for and
submit comments on Docket No. USGS-ECO-2025-0003.
[ssquf] U.S. Mail: USGS, Information Collections Clearance Officer,
12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, MS 159, Reston, VA 20192.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Heather Johnson by email at
[email protected], or by telephone at 907-786-7155. Individuals
in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have
a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services. Individuals outside the United
States should use the relay services offered within their country to
make international calls to the point-of-contact in the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all information
collections require approval under the PRA. An agency may not conduct
or sponsor, nor is an individual required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on
new, 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 especially interested in public comment addressing the
following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether or not the information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the burden estimate for this collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) How agency might minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of response.
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
[[Page 21333]]
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other personally identifying information
(PII) in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--
including your PII--may be made publicly available at any time. While
you can 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: We have developed an online application that enables
collaborators and volunteers to watch video clips collected from
wildlife video camera collars and enter data observed in the clips into
the online application. Information collected from the videos will be
analyzed to assess wildlife activity budgets, reproduction, diets, and
preferred habitat conditions, and used to better understand mechanisms
influencing wildlife movements, distributions and population trends.
Results of the analyses will be published in peer-reviewed scientific
publications that will be available to the public.
