I. Abstract
This Notice supplements the Notices
that were published on August 30, 2010
and September 8, 2010.
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which
implement the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13), require
that interested members of the public
and affected agencies have an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping activities
(see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)). This notice
identifies an information collection
activity that the Office of the Secretary
has revised and resubmitted to OMB.
This Notice is being published in
order to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on revisions to
the Klamath Non-use Valuation survey.

On August 30, 2010, the Agency
published a 30-day notice requesting
comments and received one general
comment on the overall design of the
project, but no comments on the survey
instrument. The pilot test was approved
by OMB on December 14, 2010.
However, the Agency received
additional comments on the survey
instrument subsequent to the approval
of the information collection by OMB.
These comments focused on the
background material and description of
the no action and action alternatives.
Revisions were made in response to
these comments.
While the revised survey is being
tested using cognitive interviews,
individuals can submit comments to
OMB on the revised survey at the
address above.
The Klamath River provides habitat
for fall and spring run Chinook salmon
(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho
salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch),
steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss),
green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris),
Pacific lamprey (Lampetra tridentate),
and Pacific eulachon (Thaleichthys
pacificus). Some of these species are
important components of non-tribal
harvest (e.g., fall Chinook, steelhead),
some have important subsistence and
cultural value to Klamath Basin tribes
(e.g., salmon, sturgeon, lamprey,
eulachon), and some are at low levels of
abundance or Endangered Species Actlisted (e.g., spring Chinook, lamprey,
coho, eulachon).
Studies on the potential removal of
four dams on the Klamath River owned
by PacifiCorp are being conducted as a
result of the Klamath Hydroelectic
Settlement Agreement (KHSA) executed
February 18, 2010. Under the KHSA, the
Secretary of the Interior is to determine
by March 31, 2012, whether the
potential removal of these dams will
advance restoration of the salmonid
fisheries of the Klamath Basin and is in

the public interest, which includes but
is not limited to consideration of
potential impacts on affected local
communities and Tribes. The
determination will be based on a
number of factors, including an
economic analysis. One part of the
economic analysis is a non-use
valuation survey that is designed to
determine the potential benefits of dam
removal that may accrue to members of
the U.S. public who value such
improvements regardless of whether
they consume Klamath Basin fish or
visit the Klamath Basin. Non-use
valuation surveys, such as the one
discussed herein, are routinely included
as a part of the economic analysis for
large-scale water development projects.
II. Data
Title: Klamath Non-Use Valuation
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 1090–0010.
Type of Review: Revision of an
approved collection.
Affected Entities: Households.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Response: One time.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 10,400 households who
will receive the survey (3200
respondents and 7,200 nonrespondents).
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
3200.
Estimated Time per Response: The
base for this survey is 10,400
households. The households will be
divided into two mailing groups, at a
10/90 split. The first wave of mailings
will be to 10% of the households. Each
household will receive a prenotification
postcard notification, which will take 30
seconds to read, followed by the first
mailing of the survey. 17% of
households are estimated to respond,
which will take 30 minutes. Nonrespondents will take 3 minutes. The
second mailing will be sent to the
remaining 83% of non-respondent
households. 10% of the households are
estimated to respond to the second
mailing, taking 30 minutes. The second
group of non-respondents are estimated
to spend 3 minutes. The Department
will then conduct preliminary analysis.
The second wave of mailings will be
to the remaining 90% of the households.
Each household will receive a
prenotification postcard notification,
which will take 30 seconds to read,
followed by the first mailing of the
survey. 17% of households are
estimated to respond, which will take
30 minutes. Non-respondents will take
3 minutes. The second phase will be
sent to the remaining 83% of nonrespondent households. 10% of the

Jkt 223001

households are estimated to respond to
the second mailing, taking 30 minutes.
The second group of non-respondents
are estimated to spend 3 minutes.
The second group of non-respondents
will be sent a reminder letter, taking 30
seconds. The letter will provide the web
address of the survey and a toll-free
number and email for the respondent to
call or write to get another copy of the
survey. 5% of the households are
estimated to complete the survey, taking
30 minutes.
After the reminder mailing, 20% of
the nonrespondents will be sent a letter
by Federal Express or Priority Mail with
a letter and a much shorter version of
the survey, taking approximately 30
seconds to read. It is assumed that 65%
of the non-respondent households will
have a phone number. For respondents
with telephone numbers, the letter and
survey will be followed by a phone call
from a live operator who will either talk
to the household or leave a message
reiterating the higher incentive and
offering to mail another copy of the
survey if the household needs one. DOI
expects that 20% of nonrespondents
will complete the shorter survey after
the phone call reminder, taking 10
minutes. The phone call without the
completing the shorter survey is
estimated to take 5 minutes. For the
35% of households without telephone
numbers, DOI expects that 10% of
nonrespondents will complete the
survey after receiving the Federal
Express letter. DOI estimates that 10%
of nonrespondants will spend 5 minutes
on the shorter survey and letter. DOI
estimates 90% nonrespondents will
spend 3 minutes on the survey and
letter.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 2,571 hours.
III. Request for Comments
On August 30, 2010, we published in
the Federal Register a request for public
comments on this proposed survey.
Revisions were subsequently made to
the survey in response to comments that
were received. This notice provides the
public with an additional opportunity to
comment on the revised survey. The
Department of the Interior invites
comments on:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
and 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) Ways to 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
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
control number.
