planning documents and understand the
economic impact of visitors to the local
community.
We will protect information from
respondents considered proprietary
under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552) and implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under
regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data
and information to be made available to

Responses are voluntary. No questions
of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked.
