    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Wetland Determination Automated Data Sheets and Jurisdictional Determination Forms; Eng Form 6116; OMB Control Number 0710-WDAD.

    Needs and Uses: In an effort to address regional wetland characteristics and improve the accuracy and efficiency of wetland delineation procedures, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) developed ten regional supplements to the Corps Manual, the most recent of which were issued in Start Printed Page 272122006. In developing the regional supplements, the Corps recognized that a single national manual is unable to consider regional differences in climate, geology, soils, hydrology, plant, and animal communities, and other factors that are important to the identification and functioning of wetlands. The wetland indicators and guidance provided in the regional supplements are designed to be used in combination with the Corps Manual to identify wetland waters of the United States.

    Affected Public: Individual or household.

    Number of Respondents: 31,049.
