Abstract: Federal investments in
ecosystem restoration restore injured
natural resources and improve the
health and resiliency of terrestrial,
freshwater, and marine ecosystems.
These investments also generate
business activity and create jobs. The
Economic Impacts of Ecosystem
Restoration project aims to increase the
availability of information on the costs
and activities associated with ecosystem
restoration and to gauge the economic
effects of these investments to local
economies. Researchers with the U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) and the DOI
Office of Policy Analysis are conducting
this information collection at the
request of the Natural Resource Damage
Assessment (NRDA) Restoration
Program. The NRDA Restoration
Program is weighing the pros and cons
of collecting restoration cost data as part
of contractor reporting requirements for
restoration projects associated with
NRDA cases. The collection described
under this request is designed to refine
potential expenditure questions prior to
developing contractor reporting
requirements. The project comprises a
series of case studies that quantify the
economic impacts of restoration
projects. The case studies include
examples of collaboratively funded and
managed projects to restore a wide range
of degraded, damaged, or destroyed
ecosystems. Project methods include the
collection of primary expenditure data
and economic input/output modeling.
Results from the first phase of case
studies are available in a 2016 USGS
report entitled, ‘‘Estimating the
economic impacts of ecosystem
restoration—methods and case studies.’’
This second phase of case studies aims
to refine the survey methods and to
develop and test a web-based data
collection form that would enable
broader collection of project
expenditure data.
Title of Collection: Economic
Contribution of Federal Investments in
Restoration of Degraded, Damaged, or
Destroyed Ecosystems.
OMB Control Number: 1028–0107.
Form Number: None.

Abstract: Control number 1004–0058,
as currently approved, authorizes the
collection of information that assists the
BLM in enforcing timber export and
substitution prohibitions. The BLM now
requests that control number 1004–0058
be renewed and revised by adding two
information collection activities that
have been in use without a control
number.
One addition, ‘‘Log Scale and
Disposition of Timber Removed
Report,’’ requires purchasers of Federal
timber to report volumes of timber
removed from Federal lands, and to
identify processors of timber. Like the
previously approved information
collection activities, this activity assists
