This Information Collection Request
has been revised based upon the previously approved ICR that served
pretest the questions and the methods that would be used in the
final version of the full survey. At that time we requested to: 1)
conduct no more than 30 cognitive telephone interviews that would
be used to validate new questions that were not used in the
previous versions of the survey; and to 2) pretest the full version
of the survey by using more than 90 scripted telephone interviews
to estimate respondent burden and to make minor modifications to
the questions and methodology so that the final survey could be
administered in about 18 minutes. Now that the pretesting efforts
are complete, the NPS is submitting a revised version of this ICR
that that includes the final version of the survey and explanations
of the methods that will be used to collected and analyze the data.
This subsequent request includes: updated supporting statements
(Parts A and B) and the final version of the survey instrument that
will be used to conduct the National Park Service Centennial
National Household Survey.
This is a reinstatement of a
previously approved collection that was used to conduct at national
survey. At that time the burden for the pre-test and the final
survey were combined into one request. After consulting with DOI
and OIRA Desk Officer, NPS determined that the best approach would
be to decouple the pretest from the final survey in this current
request. The findings from the pre-test will be verified in the
follow-up request for the full survey. The adjustment in the annual
time burden is due to the removal of 1,027 previously approved
burden hours associated with the collection that expired 9/30/2010
and instruments are no longer relevant (e.g., contact script, focus
group sessions, and the previously approved 2007 Comprehensive
Survey). The addition of the newly requested burden hours (n=54)
are needed to pretest the questions for the final version of the
survey the updated. This request results in a net difference of
1,073 hours.
