    OMB Number: Pacific Northwest Households Recreation Use Surveys, 
OMB Control Number 0710-XXXX.
    Needs and Uses: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Bonneville Power 
Administration (BPA), and Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), are jointly 
developing an environmental impact statement (EIS), referred to as the 
Columbia River System Operations (CRSO) EIS. As part of the EIS, the 
Corps is tasked with evaluating changes in the economic value provided 
by water-based recreation.
    The purpose of this survey effort is to gather information that 
will support development of a water-based recreational demand model for 
the Columbia River Basin in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and western 
Montana. The proposed design involves a mail survey for preliminary 
screening to identify eligible recreators, followed by a telephone 
survey of eligible recreators to collect data on recreational trips and 
activities within the region. The model will be used to evaluate 
recreational impacts associated with alternatives identified within the 
CRSO EIS.

Mail Screener

    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,150.
    Number of Respondents: 11,500.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 11,500.
    Average Burden per Response: 6 minutes.
    Frequency: One-time.

Follow-up Telephone Survey

    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 414.
    Number of Respondents: 1,242.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,242.
    Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
    Frequency: One-time.

Average Totals

    Annual Burden Hours: 1,564.
    Number of Respondents: 11,500.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 11,500.
    Average Burden per Response: 8.16 minutes.
    Frequency: One-time.
    We anticipate that approximately 11,500 households will complete 
the mail screener. Based on the results of a small pretest, we expect 
that it will take approximately 1 minute to read the screener letter 
and approximately 5 minutes to complete the screener questionnaire 
(total of 6 minutes per respondent). Approximately 1,242 eligible 
adults within those households will complete the follow-up telephone 
survey. Also based on the results of a small pretest, we expect that it 
will take approximately 20 minutes to complete the follow-up telephone 
survey. Based on that data, the burden for 10,258 households will be 6 
minutes. The burden for 1,242 eligible adults will be a total of 26 
minutes. This yields a total respondent burden estimate of 1,564 hours.
