SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: A Proposed Process for OMB

Approval of NPS-Sponsored Public

Surveys.

Bureau Form Number: None.

OMB Number: To be requested.

Expiration date: To be requested.

Type of request: Request for new

clearance.

Description of need: The National

Park Service needs information

concerning park visitors and visitor

services to provide to park managers

information for improving the quality

and utility to the public of park

programs.

Automated data collection: At the

present time, there is no automated way

to gather this information, since the

information gathering process involves

asking visitors to evaluate services and

facilities that they used during their

park visits. The intrusion on individual

visitors is minimized by rigorously

designing visitor surveys to maximize

the ability of the surveys to use small

samples of visitors to represent large

populations of visitors and by

coordinating a 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 or of people who

have relationships to parks.

Estimated average number of

respondents: The proposal does not

identify the number of respondents

because that number will differ from

individual survey to individual survey,

depending on the purpose and design of

each individual survey.

Estimated average number of

responses: The proposal does not

identify the average number of

responses because that number will

differ from individual survey to

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 proposal 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 proposal identifies the requested

total number of burden hours annually

for all of the surveys to be conducted

under its auspices to be 8000 burden

hours per year. The total annual burden

per survey for most surveys conducted

under the auspices of this proposal

would be within the range of 100 to 300

hours.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Notice of Realty Action; California

Notice of Realty Action for Minor

Boundary Revision and Proposed

Exchange of Federally-owned land for

Privately-owned land in Marin County,

California.

In order to resolve the minor and

unintentional encroachment of a private

residence on Federal land, it is

necessary for the National Park Service

to effect a minor boundary revision and

land exchange at Point Reyes National

Seashore. The park boundary will be

revised to include a 0.12 acre parcel of

land adjacent to the boundary and

delete a 0.10 acre parcel of land within

the boundary. Upon approval of the

boundary revision, the National Park

Service will acquire the 0.12 acre parcel

and convey the 0.10 acre encroachment

parcel to the private landowner. The

subject properties are located on

Blackberry Lane, Inverness, Marin

County, California.

The authority for the minor boundary

revision is Section 318 (a) of Public Law

95–625, approved November 10, 1978;

16 U.S.C. 459c–1(a). The authority for

the land exchange is Section 3 (a) of

Public Law 87–657, approved

September 13, 1962, 16 USC 459c–2.

The National Park Service has

determined that there will be no adverse

impacts as a consequence of the

exchange. The value of the lands to be

exchanged are of equal value. Each site

was surveyed for the presence of

hazardous substances and none were

found. The mineral rights of both

properties will be conveyed.

The land to be conveyed by the

United States of America and deleted

from the boundary is identified as Tract

No. P13–130. Title to the land will be

conveyed subject to title encumbrances

of record as well as existing easements
