SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) collects agency-wide 
recreation and concession information to fulfill congressional 
reporting requirements pursuant to current public laws, including the 
Land and Water Conservation Fund Act (Pub. L. 88-578), the Federal 
Water Project Recreation Act (Pub. L. 89-72), and the Federal Lands 
Recreation Enhancement Act (Pub. L. 108-477). 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. More 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.
