Selected Alternative 

After considering the comments we 

received on our draft CCP/EA, we have 

selected Alternative B for 

implementation, for several reasons. 

Alternative B comprises the mix of 

actions that, in our professional 

judgment, works best towards achieving 

refuge purposes, our vision and goals, 

and the goals of other State and regional 

conservation plans. We also believe it 

most effectively addresses the key issues 

raised during the planning process. The 

basis of our decision is detailed in the 

FONSI, located in Appendix K of the 

CCP.

Proposed Information Collection; 

Visibility Valuation Survey Pilot Study 

AGENCY: National Park Service, U.S. 

Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Notice; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: We (National Park Service) 

will ask the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) to approve the 

information collection (IC) described 

below. As required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 and as part of our 

continuing efforts to reduce paperwork 

and respondent burden, we invite the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on this IC. We may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

DATES: Public comments must be 

submitted on or before May 6, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments 

on this IC to Dr. Bruce Peacock, Chief, 

Social Science Division, Natural 

Resource Program Center, National Park 

Service, 1201 Oakridge Drive, Fort 

Collins, CO 80525–5596 (mail);

I. Abstract 

The Clean Air Act (Sections 169A, 

169B, and 110(a)(2)(j)) charges the NPS 

with an ‘‘affirmative responsibility to 

protect air quality related values 

(including visibility).’’ The NPS believes 

the value of visibility changes should be 

represented in cost-benefit analyses 

regarding state and Federal efforts that 

may affect visibility (including the 

Regional Haze Rule, Title 40, Part 51 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations). 

Updated estimates of visibility benefits 

are required because the studies 

conducted in the 1970s and 1980s do 

not reflect current baseline visibility 

conditions in national parks and 

wilderness areas. 

The NPS plans to conduct a 

nationwide stated preference survey to 

estimate the value of visibility changes 

in national parks and wilderness areas. 

Survey development and pre-testing 

have already been conducted under a 

previous IC (OMB Control Number 

1024–0255). The purpose of this IC is to 

conduct a pilot study to test the survey 

instrument and implementation 

procedures prior to the full survey. After 

the pilot is completed, the NPS will 

submit a revised IC request to OMB for 

the full survey.

III. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (1) The

approval. All comments will become a 

matter of public record. While you can 

ask us in your comment to withhold 

personal identifying information from
