SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
USGS, in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
provides the general public and other
Federal agencies with an opportunity to
comment on proposed, revised, and
continuing collections of information.
This helps us assess the impact of our
information collection requirements and
minimize the public’s reporting burden.
It also helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on 4/25/
2018 (FR 2018–08678). We received one
comment. The comment did not address
the issue of requesting information from
land managers about multiple oak
savanna management techniques.
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
USGS; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the USGS enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the USGS minimize the burden of
this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made

you may ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: Managers from sites where
we will have collected vegetation data
will be contacted for information about
management activities. The information
will be used by the Principal
Investigators (PIs) and Co-PIs and
research assistant(s) to generate a
history of management database for all
the sites and treatments sampled. Most
sites will include three or four subsites
as indicated by these treatment types:
Control, burned, thinned, and/or burned
and thinned. The data table will include
site name and subsite treatment types as
identification without any manager’s
name, title or contact information, since
this latter information is irrelevant to
the analysis. The data table of
management history will be used to
relate to the condition and status of the
groundlayer vegetation, as expressed in
variables such as species richness,
species turnover, composition through
ordination and other statistical methods
including structural equation modeling.
Results of analyses may include site
names and treatment types, but no
specific manager information will be
retained or relevant to the results.
