Office of Management and Budget for Review and Approval; Wildlife Video
Data Scoring
AGENCY: U.S. Geological Survey, 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 on or before
August 27, 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-2025-0008.
[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.
You may also view the ICR at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general
public and other Federal agencies with an opportunity 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. 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.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
May 19, 2025, (90 FR 21332) No comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. 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 USGS, including whether
or not the information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden 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 the USGS 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
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other personally identifiable 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 PII 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.
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.
There has been a reduction in burden hours in this renewal, as most
of the expected project work has already been completed.
Title of Collection: Wildlife Video Data Scoring.
OMB Control Number: 1028-0130.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Project collaborators which include
DOI agency employees and volunteers.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 14.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 8,414.
Estimated Completion Time per Response to read announcement/
instructions: 120 minutes on average.
Estimated Completion Time per Response to complete survey: 2
minutes on average.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 308.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Depends on the time and interest of the
respondent. Some respondents will enter data on a weekly basis, others
will enter data less frequently.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: None.
The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
