Individuals in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. Individuals outside the United States should use the relay service offered within their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in the United States. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general public and other Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format. A *Federal Register* notice with a 60-day public comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on September 30, 2025 (90 FR 46918). No comments were received. As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are especially interested in public 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
(4)How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, *e.g.,* permitting electronic submission of response. Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information 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 us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. *Abstract:* Reclamation collects bureau-wide recreation and concession information to fulfill congressional reporting requirements pursuant to current public laws, including the Federal Water Project Recreation Act (16 U.S.C. 460I), and the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (16 U.S.C. 87). In addition, collected information will permit relevant program assessments of resources managed by Reclamation, its recreation managing partners, and/or concessionaires for the purpose of contributing to the implementation of Reclamation's mission. Specifically, the collected information enables Reclamation to
(1)evaluate the effectiveness of program management based on existing recreation and concessionaire resources and facilities, and
(2)validate the efficiency of resources for public use within partner managed recreation resources, located on Reclamation project lands in the 17 Western States. In addition to using an on-line data collection platform, we have streamlined the form used in this ICR by removing two sections that can be collected and maintained by Reclamation employees which lessens the public burden. *Title of Collection:* Recreation Use Data Report. *OMB Control Number:* 1006-0002. *Form Number:* Web-based Form 7-2534—Recreation Use Data Report. *Type of Review:* Reinstatement of a currently approved collection. *Respondents/Affected Public:* State, local, or tribal governments; agencies who manage Reclamation's recreation resources and facilities; and commercial concessions, subconcessionaires, and nonprofit organizations located on Reclamation lands with associated recreation services. *Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents:* 212. *Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses:* 212. *Estimated Completion Time per Response:* 25 minutes. *Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours:* 88 hours. *Respondent's Obligation:* Mandatory. *Frequency of Collection:* Annually. *Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost:* 0. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq). Stephanie McPhee, Acting Information Collection Clearance Officer, Bureau of Reclamation.
