Forest Service
Title: Understanding Value Trade-Offs
Regarding Fire Hazard Reduction

Secretary of Agriculture and the
Secretary of the Interior to plan and
conduct hazardous fuels reduction
projects on National Forest System and
Bureau of Land Management Lands. The
Forest Service, Bureau of Land
Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs,
National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife
Service, and many State agencies with
fire protection responsibilities have
undertaken a very ambitious and
expensive forest fuels reduction
program. The Forest Service (FS) and
university researchers will contact
recipients of a phone/mail questionnaire
to help forest and fire managers
understand value trade-offs regarding
fire hazard reduction programs in the
wildland-urban interface.
Need and Use of the Information:
Through the questionnaire, researchers
will evaluate the responses of Arizona,
Colorado, New Mexico, Texas,
California, and Florida residents to
different scenarios related to fire hazard
reduction programs; how residents
think the programs presented to them
are effective, and calculate how much
residents would be willing to pay to
implement the alternatives. The
collected information will help
researchers provide better information
to natural resources, forest, and fire
managers when they are contemplating
the kind and type of fire hazard
reduction programs to implement to
achieve forest land management
planning objectives. Without the
information the agencies with fire
protection responsibilities will lack the
capability to evaluate the general public
understanding of proposed fuels
reduction projects and programs or their
willingness to pay for implementing
such programs.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 1,675.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Other (One time only).
Total Burden Hours: 690.

Title: Annual Economic Survey of
Federal Gulf and South Atlantic Shrimp
Permit Holders.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0591.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (revision

NOAA Fisheries, Southeast Fisheries
Science Center, annually collects
socioeconomic data from commercial
fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico and
South Atlantic shrimp fisheries who
hold one or more permits for harvesting
shrimp from federal waters (U.S.
Exclusive Economic Zone). Information
about revenues, variable and fixed costs,
capital investment and other
socioeconomic information is collected
from a random sample of permit
holders. These data are needed to
conduct socioeconomic analyses in
support of management of the shrimp
fishery and to satisfy legal requirements.
The data will be used to assess how
fishermen will be impacted by and
respond to federal regulation likely to be
considered by fishery managers.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
This information collection request
