Needs and Uses: The information collection is necessary to ascertain community concerns related to Navy environmental clean-up actions at various installations around the country. The Navy needs a way to collect opinions on community needs and how or when citizens would like to be involved in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act process. The Navy typically provides a survey several months before the development of a site-specific Community Involvement Plan (CIP). The survey includes multiple choice questions on areas of concern, and a section for open comment. The survey is typically conducted for one to three months. Survey respondents include local officials, residents, public interest groups, and other interested or affected parties within a specific mile-range of the given Environmental Restoration Program (ERP) site. Information collection from community members provides input for the required CIP. The survey is also used to solicit new Restoration Advisory Board members, and informs the Navy on community awareness and understanding of the ERP process.

Affected Public: Individuals or households; Businesses or other for-profit; Not-for-profit Institutions; State, Local, or Tribal Government.

Annual Burden Hours: 40.
