The National Visitor Use Monitoring survey estimates the number of recreation visits that occur on lands in the National Forest System. Recreation is one of the key outputs identified in the Forest Service's strategic plan and in the National Forest Management Act. Credible science-based estimates of recreation visitation are critical elements of agency performance reporting and resource planning. The NVUM program develops estimates for each national forest of the national forest visits. On an annual basis the Forest Service is required to report to Congress on the agency's effectiveness in utilizing appropriated funds. The NVUM results and data are an essential information source in addressing forest land management planning, facility master planning, regional- and local-level agency-mandated business planning, national strategic planning, Civil Rights issues regarding service to minorities, and identification of individual forest recreation niches. This request also includes extension of the NVUM survey protocol to several Department of Interior agencies.

There has been a slight increase in the number of respondents per year from about 65,400 to 69,900. The increase reflects collaboration with DOI agencies who wish to use this collection to obtain estimates of recreation visitation, and FS entities who want to increase sampling intensity to better estimate their own visitation patterns and visitor characteristics. Note: The expiration date and revision number will be changed on the final printed survey documents. Expiration date will be set by OMB, and this will be revision 8 of the survey.
