a need to better understand the
connection between restoring the health
and productivity of ecosystems and the
resulting economic benefits to local
communities. This project aims to
increase the available information on
the costs and required inputs for
ecosystem restoration and the resultant
economic benefits of these investments
to local economies. The project is
comprised of a series of case studies that
quantify the economic impacts of
restoration projects. The case studies
will include examples of collaboratively
funded and managed projects to restore
a wide range of degraded, damaged, or
destroyed ecosystems. In addition to
providing improved information on the
economic impacts of restoration, these
case studies highlight DOI restoration
efforts and tell personalized stories
about each project and the communities
that are positively affected by
restoration activities. Project methods
include the collection of primary
expenditure data and economic inputoutput modeling.
Frequency: One time.
Estimated total responses: 900. We
will make an introductory call to
approximately 100 project managers.
We expect approximately 100 project
managers will respond to the project
summary survey. We expect 100 project
managers and 500 contractors to
respond to the expenditures survey. We
expect to follow up with approximately
100 contacts to remind them to
complete the survey(s).
Estimated total burden hours: 358. We
estimate it will take 15 minutes to make
the initial contact for the project
summary survey; 15 minutes for
respondents to complete the project
summary survey; 30 minutes for
respondents to complete the
expenditure survey; and 5 minutes for a
follow-up contact.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: There are no ‘‘non-hour cost’’
burdens associated with this collection
of information.

the proposed collection.
We are soliciting comments as to: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the agency
to perform its duties, including whether
the information is useful; (b) the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) how to enhance the
quality, usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d) how
to minimize the burden on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Please note that the comments
submitted in response to this notice are
a matter of public record. While you can
ask OMB in your comment to withhold
your personal identifying information
from public review, we cannot
guarantee that it will be done.
