Short Statement: We are requesting 146 burden hours, or an increase of 21 hours, for phase 2 of the research study to support outdoor recreation management at Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge. The number of responses (500) is the same as for phase 1. However, during phase 2, we plan to conduct two surveys, each with 250 responses. We will survey visitors to the refuge and camp/home owners adjacent to the refuge. The increase in burden hours is a result of the slight increase in completion time for the camp/home survey (estimated at 20 minutes vs. 15 minutes for the visitor survey).
