SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the PRA, we provide
the general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,

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. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before

Abstract: The USGS Water Resources
Research Act (WRRA) program issues an
annual announcement to solicit
applications for noncompetitive State
Water Resources Research Program
annual base grants authorized by section
104(c) and for the national competitive
grant program authorized by section
104(g) of the Water Resources Research
Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98–242), as
amended [42 U.S.C. 10303(c)].
Annual base grants may support
research and information transfer
projects as well as administration
projects that advance the institutes’
overall administration and objectives;
these research projects are generally
selected in a competitive statewide
solicitation, peer review, and selection
process designed and conducted by
each institute. National competitive
grants (104g) focus on water problems

and issues of a regional or interstate
nature beyond those of concern only to
a single state and which relate to
specific program priorities identified
jointly by the Secretary (of the Interior,
as delegated to the USGS) and the
institutes.

the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. The
Institutes cooperate with the USGS in
establishing total programmatic
direction, reporting on the activities of
the institutes and associated
researchers, as well as coordinating and
facilitating regional research and
information and technology transfer.

Abstract: Enrollment data is an
important source of information which
allows the Indian Affairs and other
Federal agencies to equitably distribute
resources because it is a quantifiable
representation of a Tribe’s population.
Different population sizes generally
require different levels of services and
resources. BIA must collect this
information to ensure effective,
accurate, and timely distribution of
assistance to respond to funds
specifically appropriated for Indian
Country, where applicable. This data
may assist Federal agencies in
developing distribution formulas for
funds provided under the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act as well as for
use in distribution of resources for such
programs as the Department of Energy’s
Energy Efficient and Conservation Block
Grant or the Department of Treasury’s
Emergency Rental Assistance Program.
Specifically, enrollment data will be a
data source to assist Indian Affairs’
allocation of supplemental
appropriations by the Congress such as
the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs

Assessment of Eligible and Ineligible
Lands for Consideration as Wilderness
Areas, Valles Caldera National
Preserve

Notice of intent to assess Valles
Caldera National Preserve lands for
wilderness eligibility.

AGENCY:
ACTION:

Pursuant to the Wilderness
Act of 1964, and in accordance with
National Park Service (NPS)
Management Policies (2006), Section
6.2.1, the NPS has initiated an
assessment of lands within the
authorized boundary of Valles Caldera
National Preserve for their eligibility for
inclusion in the national wilderness
preservation system.
DATES: The eligibility assessment will be
formally initiated on July 12, 2022.
ADDRESSES: A map of lands to be
assessed is on file at Valles Caldera

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Information about the wilderness
character of these lands, and requests
for information about the eligibility
assessment process, should be directed
to: Brian Smith, Valles Caldera National
Preserve, Environmental Protection
Specialist, 575–829–4100, vall_

Valles Caldera National Preserve, PO
Box 359, Jemez Springs, New Mexico

NPS
Management Policies (2006) Section
6.2.1 requires that ‘‘All lands
administered by the National Park
Service, including new units or
additions to existing units since 1964,
will be evaluated for their eligibility for
inclusion in the national wilderness
preservation system.’’ The lands to be
assessed at Valles Caldera National
Preserve include approximately 88,900
acres designated to be managed by the
National Park Service since 2014 by
Section 3043 of Public Law 113–291
(December 19, 2014).
Section 6.2.1.1 and 6.2.1.2 of NPS
Management Policies (2006) describe
the primary eligibility criteria and
additional considerations in
determining eligibility that will be used
during the assessment process. Pursuant
to Section 6.2.1.3 of NPS Management
Policies (2006), the determination of an
area’s eligibility, or ineligibility, for
further study will be approved by the
Director before publication of the final
eligibility determination in the Federal
Register.
For areas determined to be ineligible
for wilderness designation, the
wilderness preservation provisions in
the NPS Management Policies (2006)
would not apply (NPS Management
Policies (2006) Section 6.2.1.3).
However, ineligible lands will continue
to be managed in accordance with the
NPS Organic Act and all other laws,
executive orders, regulations, and
policies applicable to units of the
national park system.
Lands and waters found to possess the
characteristics and values of wilderness,
as defined in the Wilderness Act and
determined eligible pursuant to the
wilderness eligibility assessment, will
be formally studied to develop the
recommendation to Congress for
wilderness designation (NPS
Management Policies (2006), Section
6.2.2). The wilderness study will be
supported by appropriate
documentation of compliance with the
