Paperwork Reduction Act Statement: We estimate it will take you 2 hours to participate in the focus
group. The information will be used to develop recommendations, including a list of potential site
improvements based on user experience and needs, estimated cost to implement improvements, and the
amount of effort to complete each improvement. The information will provide the conservation
community and others with the best possible information for Great Lakes coastal wetland conservation
and research. Your response is voluntary. We may not conduct or sponsor and you are not required to
respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. You may
submit comments on any aspect of this information collection to the Information Collection Clearance
Officer, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 5275 Leesburg Pike, MS: BPHC, Falls Church, VA 22041-3803.
