The first portion of the study addreses whether such values exist for nonenvironmental. services, such as jobs of others outside one's community. In the second portion of the study, willingness-to-pay for single items considered individually will be compared to willingness-to-pay for the same items when bundled. These methodological questions will be evaluated in a trade-off context, with the " Columbia River Basin in the Pacific . ' - Northwest as the subject of the study. This study is being performed solely to address methodological issues surrounding the estimation of nonuse values and will not be used for any other purpose. In particular, DOE: seeks to ascertain whether individuals who. state positive nonuse values for . environmental services also state positive nonuse values for nbnenvironmental services and how different survey methods perform to elicit willingness-to-pay valuations. The method used here will'be a paper-and-pencil survey administered in a shopping mall in or near Raleigh, North Carolina. Recruiters will approach shoppers and ask if they are willing to take-the survey. It will take approximately one-half hour for each of the anticipated 200 respondents to - complete the questionnaire , for a total information collection burden of. 100 ' hours. DOE recognizes that the use of the mall-intercept approach which is necessitated by the Department's limited resources for this research entails statistical problems that render Bonneville Power Administration Notice of Availability of Record of Decision for the Hermiston Generating Project AGENCY : Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), Energy (DOE).
