Abstract:
Agencies within the Department of the Interior collect the information in accordance with the Federal Cave Resources Protection Act (Act), which requires the Secretaries of Agriculture and Interior to identify and protect significant caves on Federal lands within their respective jurisdictions. This request covers Federal lands managed by agencies within the Department of the Interior, but not Federal lands managed by agencies within the Department of Agriculture (e.g., U.S. Forest Service). Agencies within the Department of the Interior use the information in a cave nomination to determine if the nominated cave will be listed as significant in accordance with the FCRPA and the Department's regulations at 43 CFR 37.11(c). The information is thus necessary for full compliance with agencies' responsibilities to identify and protect significant caves and their resources. Agencies within the Department of the Interior use the information in confidential cave information requests to determine whether to grant access to confidential cave data. Agencies need this information in order to comply with their statutory responsibilities to communicate, cooperate, and exchange information about significant caves, within the limits prescribed by the Act.

Short Statement:
We made program changes in order to correct previous omissions. Previously, the activities in this control number (i.e., cave nominations and requests for confidential cave information) were not separated into collections from individuals, from the private sector, and from state, local, and tribal governments. This request corrects that omission by adding specific activities for the latter two categories of respondents, and by adding to the previous labels for the activities the word “individuals.” The net effect of these program changes is 4 additional information collection activities. We made adjustments based on our recent experience with this control number. The adjustments are as follows: 1) We adjusted the annual number of responses for cave nominations from 10 to 25, an increase of 15. 2) We adjusted the annual number of responses for requests for confidential cave information from 4 to 3, a decrease of 1. 3) The net effect of these adjustments is 14 more responses per year.
