Abstract: The Forest Service (U.S. Department of Agriculture) is proposing a new information collection for a visitor comment card to be used at Grey Towers. The information will be collected by administering an optional 8.5” x 11” comment card to guests at the conclusion of tours, programs, and events. Both members of the public and Federal employees will have the opportunity to complete the card. Grey Towers will also post comment cards on its website to allow visitors the option to electronically complete and submit. The collection is necessary to enhance and improve quality-based programs and events offered onsite.
