Short Statement: The information collection requirements associated with the proposed study are a follow-up to the ones approved in 2005 in the earlier study. FRA is seeking reinstatement of the previous OMB approval, and will use this collection of information to determine the validity of the earlier regional profile of "typical" trespassers or establish a new regional profile of "typical" trespassers. The proposed collection of information will cover six additional years of demographic data (2005-2010). The study is expected to be completed in 24 months or less and the entire annual information collection burden of 115 hours is a program change. There are no adjustments. There are no additional costs to respondents besides the requested burden hours.
