SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Generic Information Collection
Review of NPS-Sponsored Surveys.
Bureau form number: None.
OMB Number: 1024–0224.
Expiration date: June 30, 2011.
Type of request: Extension for a
currently approved collection.
Description of need: The NPS needs
information concerning park visitors
and visitor services, potential park
visitors, and residents of communities
near parks to provide NPS managers
with usable knowledge for improving
the quality and utility of agency
programs, services, and planning efforts.
Since many of the NPS surveys are
similar in terms of the populations
being surveyed, the types of questions
being asked, and research
methodologies, the NPS proposed and
received clearance from OMB for a
generic Information Collection Review
(ICR) of NPS-sponsored surveys.
The benefits of this generic ICR
program have been significant to the
NPS, Department of the Interior, OMB,
NPS cooperators, and the public. Since
1999, significant time and cost savings
have been incurred and 514 surveys
have been conducted in units
throughout the National Park System.
Approval was typically granted in 60
days or less from the date the Principal
Investigator (PI) first submitted the
survey package for review. This is a
significant reduction over the
approximately 6–8 months involved in
the regular OMB review process. From
FY 1999 through FY 2010, the generic
ICR process has produced an estimated
cost savings to the Federal government
and PIs of $1,017,495.
Automated data collection: None.

Description of respondents: General
Public—visitors and potential visitors to
parks, and residents of communities
near parks.
Estimated average number of
respondents: The NPS generic ICR
program does not identify the number of
respondents because that number will
differ in each individual survey,
depending on the purpose and design of
each information collection.
Estimated average number of
responses: For most surveys, each
respondent will be asked to respond
only one time. The NPS generic ICR
program does not identify the average
number of responses because that
number will differ in each individual
survey. In most cases the number of
responses will be the same as the
number of respondents.
Estimated average burden hours per
response: The NPS generic ICR program
does not identify the average burden
hours per response because that number
will differ in each individual survey,
depending on the purpose and design of
each information collection.
Frequency of response: Most
individual surveys will request only one
response per respondent.
Estimated annual reporting burden:
The NPS generic ICR program identifies
the requested total number of burden
hours annually for all of the surveys to
be conducted under its auspices to be
15,000 burden hours per year.
Comments are invited on: (1) The
practical utility of the information being
collected; (2) the accuracy of the burden
hour estimate; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information being collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden to
respondents, including use of
automated information collection
methods or other forms of information
technology. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail address,
or other personally identifiable
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personally
identifiable information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personally identifiable
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
