Request for Clearance of a Three Year 

Program of Collections of Information:

Programmatic Approval of NPSSponsored Public Surveys.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Programmatic Approval of NPSSponsored Public Surveys. 

Bureau Form Number: None. 

OMB Number: 1024–0224. 

Expiration date: 9/30/2004. 

Type of request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Description of need: The National 

Park Service needs information 

concerning park visitors and visitor 

services, potential park visitors, and 

residents of communities near parks to 

provide park and NPS managers with 

usable knowledge for improving the 

quality and utility of agency programs, 

services, and planning efforts. 

Automated data collection: At the 

present time, there is no automated way 

to gather this information, since the 

information gathering process involves 

asking the public to evaluate services 

and facilities that they used during their 

park visits, services and facilities they 

are likely to use on future park visits, 

perceptions of park services and 

facilities, opinions regarding park 

management, and technical assistance 

provided by the agency. The burden on 

individuals is minimized by rigorously 

designing public surveys to maximize 

the ability of the surveys to use small 

samples of individuals to represent large 

populations of the public, and by 

coordinating the program of surveys to 

maximize the ability of new surveys to 

build on the findings of prior surveys. 

Description of Respondents: A sample 

of visitors to parks, potential visitors to 

parks, and residents of communities 

near parks. 

Estimated average number of 

respondents: The 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: The program does not 

identify the average number of 

responses because that number will 

differ in each individual survey, 

depending on the purpose and design of 

each individual survey. For most 

surveys, each respondent will be asked 

to respond only one time, so in those 

cases the number of responses will be 

the same as the number of respondents. 

Estimated average burden hours per 

response: The program does not identify 

the average burden hours per response 

because that number will differ from 

individual survey to individual survey, 

depending on the purpose and design of 

each individual survey. 

Frequency of response: Most 

individual surveys will request only 1 

response per respondent. 

Estimated annual reporting burden:

The 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. The total annual burden 

per survey for most surveys conducted 

under the auspices of this program 

would be within the range of 100 to 300 

hours.
