The Department of Agriculture has sent a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for reviewing their data collection needs under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. They are inviting public comments on whether these collections are necessary, accurate, and clear, and suggestions to reduce any burdens. This process, involving various federal land management agencies and the public, aims to gather information through surveys and interviews to improve transportation and recreational services on federal lands. Comments are to be submitted by February 24, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Agriculture is asking people to share their thoughts on how they collect information to help make parks and nature places better. They want to know if this information is really needed and how they can make it easier for people to help without too much hassle.
