Abstract: Nature and the outdoors
have always been an important part of
the fabric of American life. However,
there are major questions about the
present and future role of nature and the
outdoors in our increasingly diverse,
technologically oriented, and rapidly
changing society. For our programs to
remain relevant to American life today
and tomorrow, we must be aware of
public sentiment toward the part nature
plays in the quality of our lifestyles.
It is for these reasons that we plan to
use a quantitative survey to collect
information on the attitudes that the
public maintains towards the natural
environment; the effects of contact with
nature on participants’ health and
quality of life; the extent of contact with
nature and obstacles to greater contact
with nature; general knowledge of
nature and wildlife; concerns toward
selected environmental issues; and
socio-demographic variables. Results
will help improve the design and
delivery of new or existing programs
aimed at engaging the public in naturerelated activities (e.g., outreach and
educational programming at national
wildlife refuges and national fish
hatcheries).
Comments Received and Our Responses
On May 19, 2015, we published in the
Federal Register (80 FR 28638) a notice
of our intent to request that OMB
approve this information collection. In
that notice, we solicited comments for
60 days, ending on July 20, 2015. We
received one comment. The commenter
objected to the use of taxpayer dollars
for the survey, but did not address the
information collection requirements. We
did not make any changes to the survey
based on this comment.

the Secretary is required to ‘‘publish in

pertinent regarding a nominee for
membership on the Commission and
. . . allow a period of not less than
thirty days for receipt of public
comments.’’ See 25 U.S.C. 2704(b)(2)(B).
The Secretary proposes to appoint
Kathryn Isom-Clause as an associate
member of the Commission for a term of
3 years. Ms. Isom-Clause is a citizen of
the Taos Pueblo and is well qualified to
be a member of the National Indian
Gaming Commission by virtue of her
extensive background and experience in
Indian gaming, as well as a broad
spectrum of other Native American
issues.
In her current position as Senior
Counselor to the Assistant Secretary—
Indian Affairs at the Department of the
Interior, Ms. Isom-Clause provides
policy guidance to the Assistant
Secretary on gaming matters, including
the review and analysis of revenue
allocation plans, tribal-state gaming
compacts, and environmental
compliance issues. In addition to her
work on gaming issues, Ms. Isom-Clause
chairs and participates on a number of
working groups and committees
covering a variety of issues important to

the National Indian Gaming
Commission. Her extensive knowledge
and experience will enrich the
Commission’s deliberations and
contribute to informed decisions that
promote the integrity and economic
viability of Indian gaming.

financial interests that would make her
ineligible to serve on the Commission
under 25 U.S.C. 2704(b)(5)(B) or (C).
Any person wishing to submit
comments on this proposed
appointment of Kathryn Isom-Clause
may submit written comments to the
