Abstract: Researchers with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are conducting this information collection at the request of the DOI Restoration Program. The DOI Restoration Program is interested in collecting restoration cost data as part of contractor reporting requirements for all DOI restoration projects. The collection described under this request is designed to refine potential expenditure and project summary questions prior to initializing these questions as part of the contractor reporting requirements. As part of this collection, expenditure data will be collected and economic impacts will be estimated for approximately 100 DOI restoration projects. This number of cases will allow the USGS to gather information on a wide variety of different types of projects in a number of different locations, and will also allow the USGS to refine the survey instruments and to begin to identify patterns in restoration expenditures and resultant economic impacts. Most importantly, these initial analyses will help the DOI Restoration Program determine if it is worth their investment to collect these data for all DOI restoration projects. Results from the individual case studies will be summarized as fact sheets and will not be generalized or aggregated.
