    The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has announced a proposal to renew an information collection activity under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). This activity gathers bird count data for over 600 North American bird species, which helps in assessing bird populations and trends. Public comments on this collection are invited until March 10, 2025, and individuals who choose to participate in submitting data do so voluntarily. The USGS protects any proprietary information provided and estimates that responding will take about 11 hours on average per submission.

    Simple Explanation

    The people who keep track of birds in North America want to continue asking for help to count birds so they can see how bird populations are doing. They are asking people to share their thoughts about this project, but they also want everyone to know it can take a long time to do, and any comments shared might be seen by others.

    The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), part of the Department of the Interior, is planning to renew the collection of bird count data as part of the North American Breeding Bird Survey. The data helps track bird species in North America and is shared with various stakeholders, including government agencies and the public. Interested parties are invited to submit comments about the data collection process by May 12, 2025, to ensure it meets necessary performance standards and minimizes burdens on respondents. Participation in this survey is voluntary, and the estimated cost related to the data collection, such as mileage for trips, is expected to average $182,000 annually.

    Simple Explanation

They are asking people to share their thoughts about how this project should work by May 12, 2025.
