Over the past 6 years, the CDFG has
planted over 49 million combined
salmon and trout in hundreds of
locations, including some high
mountain lakes, low elevation
reservoirs, and various streams and
creeks. It is anticipated that the
production of trout species will increase
as a result of the implementation of AB
7. This increase in production will be
achieved through options within the
existing hatchery system and through
the continued assistance of SFRA
funding. If the SFRA funding is
withdrawn, it may be necessary for
CDFG to cut other activities to meet the
AB 7 fish production goals. The CDFG
has also issued approximately 80
private stocking permits annually, with
the majority being issued to individuals
stocking rainbow, brook and brown
trout; channel and bullhead catfish;
large mouth bass; white and black
crappie; bluegill; redear; mosquito-fish;
white and green sturgeon; and triploid
grass carp.

Purpose and Need
The EIS must explain the underlying
purpose and need to which the Lead
Agency is responding in proposing the
action. The purpose of this FWS action
is to provide Federal SFRA funds to
CDFG to support actions associated with
their fish hatchery and stocking program
(the 13 trout hatcheries (listed above)
and the Mad River anadromous fish
hatchery) to provide sportfishing
recreation in California. The funds are
needed to support angler success within
both urban and rural waterbodies. SFRA
funds will not, however, be used to
support private stocking permits.

Alternatives

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Proposed Action Alternative

Bureau of Indian Affairs

Under the proposed action, FWS will
continue to provide funding for CDFG’s
13 hatcheries and the Mad River
anadromous fish hatchery.

Indian Gaming

No Action Alternative
Under the No Action Alternative, the
FWS would not approve SFRA grant
funds to be used by CDFG to support
actions associated with the operations of
their fish hatcheries and fish stocking
program. Because of the State statutory
and public trust requirements related to
the hatchery program, CDFG would
attempt to continue to implement its
State hatchery program, seeking other
funding sources to replace the Federal
funds.
Other Alternatives
In the EIS, FWS will consider a range
of alternatives that could accomplish
the proposed action’s purpose and need.
FWS will be rigorously exploring and
objectively evaluating a reasonable
range of alternatives with the proposed
action and no action alternatives, taking
into account the feasibility of the
alternatives, as well as the ability to
address significant impacts on the
human environment.

Comments Received on the 60-Day
Federal Register Notice: The NPS
published a 60-day notice to solicit
public comments on this ICR in the
Federal Register on May 13, 2008 (Vol.
73, No. 93, Page 27553–27554). The
comment period closed on July 14,
2008. After notification to stakeholders
requesting comments, the NPS received
one comment as a result of the
publication of this 60-day Federal
Register notice.
The commenter suggested that the
program should be shut-down to avoid
wasteful spending. The NPS replied to
the comment, indicating that the VSC
Project is how the NPS complies with
the Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993. In compliance with
this law, the NPS implemented the
project in 1998. The project continues to
be the only source of visitor satisfaction
information across the entire system on
an annual basis. Parks collect valuable
information about visitor satisfaction
with facilities, services, and recreational
opportunities available at all the NPS
sites across the country, Guam, Puerto
Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Park Service Visitor
Survey Card.

Jkt 214001

Bureau Form Number: None.
OMB Number: 1024–0216.
Expiration Date: To be requested.
Type of Request: Reinstatement, with
change, of a previously approved
collection of information for which
approval has expired.
Description of Need: The National
Park Service (NPS) Act of 1916, 38 Stat
535, 16 U.S.C. 1, et seq., requires that
the NPS preserve national parks for the
use and enjoyment of present and future
generations. At the field level, this
means resource preservation, public
education, facility maintenance and
operation, and physical developments
as are necessarily for public use, health,
and safety. Other federal rules (National
Environmental Policy Act, 1969 and
NPS Management Policies) require
visitor use data in the impact
assessment of development on users and
resources as part of each park’s general
management plan. The Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of
1993 (Pub. L. 103–62) requires that the
NPS develop goals to improve program
effectiveness and public accountability
and to measure performance related to
these goals. The Visitor Survey Card
(VSC) Project measures performance
toward those goals through a short
visitor survey card. The project is an
element of the NPS Strategic Plan and
the Department of the Interior (DOI)
Strategic Plan.
The NPS has used the VSC to conduct
surveys at approximately 330 National
Park System units annually since 1998.
The purpose of the VSC is to measure
visitors’ opinions about park facilities,
services, and recreational opportunities
in each park unit and System wide. This
effort is required by GPRA and other
NPS and DOI strategic planning efforts.
Data from the proposed survey is
needed to assess performance regarding
NPS GPRA goals IIa1 and IIb1.
The relevant NPS GPRA goals state:
II. Provide for the public enjoyment
and visitor experience of parks;
IIa1. 95% of park visitors are satisfied
with appropriate park facilities,
services, and recreational opportunities;
IIb1. 86% of park visitors understand
and appreciate the significance of the
park they are visiting.
In addition, the survey collects data to
support the DOI Strategic Plan goal on
visitor satisfaction with the value for
entrance fees paid to access public lands
managed by the DOT. NPS performance
on all goals measured in this study will
contribute to DOT Department-wide
performance reports. Results of the VSC
will also be used by park managers to
improve visitor services at the
approximately 330 units of the National

Park System where the survey is
administered.
The VSC is a component of the
Visitors Services Project, which is
funded by the NPS through a
cooperative agreement with the Park
Studies Unit at the University of Idaho.
In 1998, the NPS received clearance for
the Visitor Survey Card (OMB #1024–
0216). When that three-year clearance
expired on May31, 2001, a new
clearance was acquired under the
Programmatic Approval for NPSSponsored Public Surveys (1024–0224,
NPS #01–003). Clearance was again
acquired in 2005 under Programmatic
Approval for NPS-Sponsored Public
Surveys (1024–0224, NPS #05–004).
This request is another extension of the
on-going study. The obligation to
respond is voluntary.
Automated Data Collections: This
information will be collected via mailback surveys and on-site drop-off
surveys using locked collection boxes.
No automated data collection will take
place.
Description of Respondents: Visitors
to approximately 330 NPS units.
Estimated Average Number of
Respondents: 132,000 respondents
(94,000 non-respondents and 38,000
respondents).
Estimated Average Number of
Responses: 132,000 responses (94,000
non-responses and 38,000 responses).
Estimated Average Burden Hours per
Response: 1 minute for non-respondents
and3 minutes for respondents.
Frequency of Response: 1 time per
respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Reporting
Burden: 3,467 hours.
Comments Are Invited On: (1) The
practical utility of the information being
gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden
hour estimate; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information being gathered; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden to
respondents, including use of
automated information collection
techniques or other forms of
information. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail address,
or other personal identifying
infonnation in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask OMB in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that OMB will be able
to do so.
