Abstract:
This Interagency Generic Clearance project is to collect information that will help the signatory Federal Land Management Agencies (FLMAs), including the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, Forest Service and Army Corps of Engineers improve transportation conditions and recreation and resource management on the respective FLMAs and jointly at area, state, regional, and/or national scales. In particular, information collections will be designed to collect information about visitors' perceptions, experiences, and expectations, with respect to transportation conditions, services, and recreation opportunities at various FLMA locations and across areas that could include multiple locations managed by different FLMAs.

Short Statement:
This generic clearance seeks to reduce duplication through increased collaboration and coordination among the FLMAs. It is not unusual for multiple FLMAs to exist within the same region, and rather than conducting separate surveys, the FLMAs can coordinate their needs into a single, joint data collection, which results in greater efficiencies. Because the data from collaborative survey efforts using this collection will be shared amongst agencies, this collection can reduce duplication across the FLMAs. The burden hours are greater in this request (575 annual hours) compared to the 2017-2020 renewal because we are now better accounting for the burden of those who are presented with an opportunity to participate in an information collection and choose not to participate. The burden hours of those who agree to participate is unchanged or has decreased (depending on collection mode) from the prior renewal.
