(OHV) use areas. In the Proposed RMP,
40 acres in the Glasgow OHV area
would remain open until an alternate
site is located, and in the Fresno OHV
area 125 acres would be designated as
open to OHV use.
The Hiline District Proposed RMP/
Final EIS is one of a total of 15 separate
EISs that make up the BLM and Forest
Service National Greater Sage-Grouse
Planning Strategy. Greater-Sage Grouse
habitat within the planning area
consists of:
• Priority Habitat Management Area
(PHMA)—Areas identified as having the
highest conservation value for
maintaining sustainable Greater SageGrouse populations; include breeding,
late brood-rearing, and winter
concentration areas.
• General Habitat Management Area
(GHMA)—Areas of seasonal or yearround habitat outside of PHMA.
Alternative E identifies 1,006,312
acres as Greater Sage-Grouse PHMAs
and 426,355 acres as Grassland Bird/
Greater Sage-Grouse PHMAs. The latter
areas have special management
prescriptions to provide high-quality
habitat for Greater Sage-Grouse and
other sagebrush-dependent species.
These PHMAs would be closed to solid
mineral leasing, and oil and gas leasing
would be subject to a no surface
occupancy (NSO) and use stipulation
with only limited exceptions, and no
waivers or modifications. Both areas
would be designated as exclusion areas
for wind and solar energy ROWs, and
avoidance areas for all other ROWs.
The BLM and Forest Service, via the
Western Association of Fish and
Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA)
Management Zone Greater Sage-Grouse
Conservation Team, will develop a
Regional Mitigation Strategy to guide
the application of the mitigation
hierarchy to address impacts within that
Zone. The Regional Mitigation Strategy
should consider any State-level greater
sage-grouse mitigation guidance that is
consistent with the requirements. The
Regional Mitigation Strategy will be
developed in a transparent manner,
based on the best science available and
standardized metrics.
Instructions for filing a protest with
the Director of the BLM regarding the
Proposed RMP/Final EIS may be found
in the ‘‘Dear Reader’’ Letter of the
HiLine Proposed RMP/Final EIS and at
43 CFR 1610.5–2. All protests must be
in writing and mailed to the appropriate
address, as set forth in the ADDRESSES

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:

We (National Park Service)
will ask the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) to approve the
Information Collection (IC) described
below. The National Park Service (NPS)
sponsors public surveys to provide park
managers with information needed for
park planning, management, operations
and evaluation of performance related to
protecting park resources and meeting
the needs of the public. In consultation
with the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) and the Department of
the Interior (DOI), the NPS has
developed a Programmatic Review and
Clearance Process for NPS-sponsored
public surveys. It significantly
streamlines the information collection
review process. To comply with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and
as part of our continuing efforts to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, we invite the general public and
other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on this IC. This
IC is scheduled to expire on October 31,
2015. We may not conduct or sponsor

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

I. Abstract
The Programmatic Clearance for NPSSponsored Surveys applies to surveys
designed to furnish usable information
to NPS managers and planners
concerning park visitors, visitor
services, potential park visitors, and
residents of communities near parks.
This information is intended to provide
NPS managers with data that can be
used to improve the quality and utility
of agency programs, services, and
planning efforts. Questions asked under
the programmatic review process must
show a clear tie to NPS management
and planning needs. The programmatic
review may only be used for noncontroversial surveys that are unlikely
to attract or include topics of significant
public interest in the programmatic
review process.
To qualify for the NPS generic
programmatic review process, all
information collections must be directly
tied to an area managed by the NPS or
research that will benefit NPS
management efforts. All collections
must be reviewed by the NPS and
approved by OMB before the survey can
be initiated.

officer positions must complete and
pass a competitive written examination,
an oral interview, a medical
examination and psychological
evaluation, and a battery of physical
fitness and agility tests. As part of this
application and screening process, the
USPP uses the following forms:
USPP Form (TBD) ‘‘Physician Consent
Form’’
The USPP Form TBD ‘‘Physician
