eligible for categorical exclusion under
the National Environmental Policy Act

We explain the basis for this
determination in an Environmental
Action Statement, which also is
available for public review.
Individuals wishing copies of the
permit application, copies of our draft

section of this document. Comments
and materials received, including names
and addresses of respondents, will be
available for public review, by
appointment, during normal business
hours at the address in the ADDRESSES
section above and will become part of
the public record, under section 10(c) of
the Act.
Before including your address, phone
number, e-mail address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—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.
We will evaluate this permit
application, associated documents, and
comments we receive to determine
whether the permit application meets
the requirements of section 10(a) of the
Act and NEPA regulations. If we
determine that the requirements are

incidental to otherwise lawful activities
in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. We will not make our final

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This information collection pertains
to volunteers who contribute their time
to conduct frog call surveys at assigned
survey routes that are part of the North
American Amphibian Monitoring
Program. Volunteers use an on-line data
entry system to submit their data. This
information is used by scientists and
Federal, state, and local agencies to
monitor amphibian populations and
detect population trends. Responses are
voluntary. Please go to: http://
www.pwrc.usgs.gov/naamp for more
information about the NAAMP.
II. Data
OMB Control Number: 1028–0078.
Title: North American Amphibian
Monitoring Program (NAAMP).
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: General public;
individual households.
Respondent Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: 3 times per
year.
Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1,700.
Annual Burden Hours: 5,100 hours.
We estimate an average of 3 hours per
response. This includes driving time to
and from the survey route locations;
listening periods at each sampling
station; and data entry.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: The estimated non-hour cost for
this collection includes: A thermometer
(a one-time cost per respondent) and
mileage. The thermometer is needed to
record air temperature during the
survey. The cost of such thermometers
is approximately $15. The total
operational costs consist of a mileage
estimate in accomplishing a survey,
calculated by using the mileage
reimbursement rate of $0.50 cents per
mile (as used in travel reimbursement
for Federal employees) times 15 miles
(the approximate distance of a calling
survey route), for a total of $7.50 per
survey.
