comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and

Project A
Abstract: The Pacific Islands Climate
Adaptation Science Center (PI–CASC)
involves a partnership between the
USGS and a university consortium,
including the University of Hawai1i at
Ma¯noa, the University of Hawai1i at
Hilo, and the University of Guam. PI–
CASC aims to support a portfolio of
research projects that foster long-lasting
partnerships between researchers,
natural and cultural resource stewards
and managers, and community leaders.
While building local capacities, PI–
CASC endeavors to co-develop the
science/knowledge bases informing our
current understanding of climate change
and its impacts, as well as how we
might take steps to adapt to those
impacts across the Pacific Islands. PI–
CASC is seeking to conduct surveys and
interviews with project leaders,
collaborators, and community members
to better understand the state of coproduction across the portfolio and how
such cooperative efforts may be
improved moving forward. The
proposed survey and interviews will
collect the following information:
• The state of collaborative
relationships between project partners,
the community, and others since project
completion.
• Status of products developed via
PI–CASC funding (e.g., new grant
awards, research articles, presentations,
workshops, visualization tools,
assessments, guidance documents, etc.).
• PI–CASCs influence on approaches
taken in other projects.
The information collected in this
effort will be used to improve the
approach to developing climate
adaptation science/knowledge
production and concomitant
management/stewardship plans in
future PI–CASC work.
Title of Collection: The Impact and
Potential of ‘‘Co-Production’’ in
Addressing Climate Adaptation across
the Pacific Islands.

ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: New.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Respondents will include PI–CASC
funded projects’ principal investigators,
co-investigators, and collaborators;
graduate scholars and postdocs; and
community members. These include
individuals from Federal organizations,
State organizations (including academic
institutions), non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), and Tribal
entities.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: PI–CASC expects to
request surveys from a maximum of 330
respondents (Approximately 85 Federal
employees, 20 State or local government
employees, 150 university/college
researchers, 45 NGO leaders, and 30
international respondents that have
been involved and/or impacted by PI–
CASC project work). Of these 330
requests, we hope to have a response
rate near half, to get an estimated 150
survey responses. We also plan to
request interviews with 50 participants
from a subset of PI–CASC project case
studies. There is likely to be overlap in
the participants that complete the
surveys and are requested for
interviews.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: An estimated 150 surveys
and 50 interviews are expected to be
completed.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Each survey is expected to
take a respondent approximately 10
minutes to complete. For those that
agree to an interview, an additional 1
hour is expected to be used per
interview.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: An estimated 75 burden
hours per year is expected (10 min ×
150) + (60 min × 50) = 4500 min → 75
hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: The
information collection needed to reach
the described 150–330 surveys and 50
interviews may take place over multiple
years (splitting up the described annual
burden hours), and the overall
collection process may be potentially
repeated every five years to gather
information about changes over time.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: None.

USGS, USFWS, the University of
Hawai1i at Ma¯noa, the State of Hawai1;i
Department of Land and Natural
Resources Division of Forestry &
Wildlife, the Coordinating Group on
Alien Pest Species, and representatives
from all of the U.S. affiliated Pacific
islands. Pacific RISCC aims to support
research and management efforts
addressing the individual and
interacting impacts of climate change
and invasive species in the U.S. Pacific,
with the goal of increasing the
effectiveness of management and
reducing the impacts of climate change
and invasive species. Pacific RISCC
would like to assess the effectiveness of
hosted workshops by surveying
attendees.
The proposed surveys and interviews
will collect the following types of
information:
• Demographic characteristics of
workshop attendees (field, role/position,
location, etc.).
• Pacific RISCC events, products,
communications, or tools that are most
used by and/of interest to attendees.
• Outstanding invasive species and
climate change related challenges and
associated research needs.
• Response to workshop in terms of
topical relevance, effectiveness,
accessibility, and capacity building in a
regional context.
The information collected in this
effort will be used to better align the
future goals and objectives of Pacific
RISCC, including future workshops,
with the needs of respondants across the
Pacific RISCC region.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Respondents will include individuals
from county, State, and Federal
organizations, including land
management agencies and academic
institutions, individuals from nonprofits and NGOs, students, and
community members.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: Pacific RISCC expects to
request annual survey completion via
the RISCC Listservs containing
approximately 800 respondents
(approximately 120 Federal employees,
220 State or local government
employees, 200 university/college
researchers (including students)), 100
NGO leaders, 100 community members,
and 60 international respondents.
Additionally, Pacific RISCC expects to
request post-workshop surveys twice a
year from a maximum of 60 respondents
per workshop (affiliations will depend
on who signs up, but will likely include
Federal, State, and county agency
resource managers and scientists from
State and Federal institutions).

Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: An estimated 400 surveys
and 15 interviews are expected to be
completed from the annual listserv
inquiry, and an additional 120 postworkshop survey responses are
expected to be returned, for a combined
total of 535 survey and interview
responses. This estimate is based on a
50% survey response rate.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Each survey is expected to
take a respondent approximately 10
minutes to complete. For those that
agree to a follow-up interview, an
additional 1 hour is expected to be
taken per interview.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: Based on a 50% response
rate, an estimated 65 hours are expected
to be taken for annual listserv surveys,
with another 15 hours for the
interviews, and an estimated 20 hours
for the two post-workshop surveys. The
total maximum estimated burden hours
is 102 hours for Project B.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Information
will be collected annually.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: None.
