SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
The information collection will be
done by trained and vetted personnel to
record information about habitats on
coastal beaches and the environment
surrounding them. It will collect
geographic location information, date
and time of observation, site
identification information, photographic
images, and includes a simple
biogeomorphic landscape classification
of geomorphologic and vegetation
characteristics surrounding nest sites.
Federal and non-federal partners are the
targeted users, Personally Identifiable
Information (PII) will not be collected.
The data collected will be used as
input into research models of habitat
utilization by beach-dependent
species—primarily shorebirds. Model
outputs will be used to understand
habitat availability and utilization in the
future as the coast evolves in response
to climate and sea-level change. This
information can be used to inform land
and species management decisions.
The USGS office leading the program
is the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine
Science Center, in collaboration with
the USGS Center for Integrated Data
Analytics, and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service.
II. Data
OMB Control Number: 1028—NEW.
Title: Classification of biogeomorphic
attributes and imagery of coastal
habitats.
Type of Request: Approval of new
information collection.
Respondent Obligation: None
(participation is voluntary).
Frequency of Collection: Data will be
collected on an occasional basis,
typically during the active growing and
breeding season (May–September).
Description of Respondents:
Employees of non-governmental
organizations, non-federal cooperators/

training responses with 4000
observation responses.
Estimated Time per Response: We
estimate that training will require 20
minutes per person one time. Recording

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
The Department of the Interior, BLM,
is requesting OMB approval to collect
information from visitors to the St.
Anthony Sand Dunes (SASD) planning
area, located in eastern Idaho on public
lands administered under the Medicine
Lodge Resource Management Plan
(RMP). The information collected will
determine changes in visitor
characteristics, including demographics,
usage, user conflicts and perspectives
toward management programs and

facilities. The planning area includes
lands designated as a Wilderness Study
Area, a Special Recreation Management
Area (SRMA) and an Area of Critical
Environmental Concern (ACEC). Most
recreational use occurs on the 25
percent of the project planning area that
has these special designations. The BLM
Planning for Recreation and Visitor
Services Handbook states that SRMAs
may need to develop additional
guidance in a Recreation Area
Management Plan (RAMP) for
addressing complex implementation
issues not specifically addressed in the
RMP for an area. In this case,
information collected at the SASD will
provide guidance when writing a RAMP
that will provide specific direction for
on-the-ground implementation of the
RMP.
In 2013, a site-specific study was
conducted by the University of Idaho
and the BLM at the BLM-managed Egin
Lakes Campground, which is located
within the SRMA and ACEC. This study

collected data on visitor demographics,
visitor views on facilities and resource
conditions, and visitor expectations for
the campground and the surrounding
area. The proposed visitor use survey
will supplement the 2013 data with
additional information on subjects such
as existing and proposed management
actions, issuance of Special Recreation
Permits, conflicts between visitors, and
travel management issues. For this new
information collection, the University of
Idaho will serve as the lead investigator
and utilize a similar approach as in the
previous study. Methods include
administering onsite questionnaires to
visitors on a stratified random sampling
basis and distributing mail-back
questionnaires (with an online option)
to identified interests in the area (for
example, local elected officials,
recreation and environmental groups,
and visitors whose contact information
we gathered during 2014). The
questionnaire will ask respondents
about user conflicts, observable resource

impacts, attitudes toward various
resource values, sources of information
about the campground sites,
perspectives on facilities, commercial
activities and associated management,
and basic demographic data including
level of education, age, and
organizational affiliations. The survey
will be conducted during the summer
season (May through October), when
visitation rates are highest.

III. Request for Comments
OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320,
which implement provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501–3521), require that interested
members of the public and affected
agencies be provided an opportunity to
comment on information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)). The BLM will
request that the OMB approve this
information collection activity for a 3year term. Comments are invited on: (1)
The need for the collection of
information for the performance of the
functions of the agency; (2) The
accuracy of the agency’s burden
estimates; (3) Ways to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; and (4) Ways to
minimize the information collection
burden on respondents, such as use of
automated means of collection of the
information. A summary of the public
comments received will accompany the
BLM’s submission of the information
collection request to OMB. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
