DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

AGENCY: United States Air Force,

Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice.

The Department of Defense has

submitted to OMB for clearance, the

following proposal for collection of

information under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35).

Title and associated forms:

Department of Defense/United States

Air Force USAF Military Aircraft

Overflight Study.

Type of Request: New collection.

Number of Respondents: 1,500.

Responses Per Respondent: 1.

Annual Responses: 1,500.

Average Burden Per Response: 10

minutes.

Annual Burden Hours: 250.

Needs and Uses: This collection of

information is necessary to obtain

acoustical noise date and visitor survey

data, to estimate a dose-response

relationship between sounds from

military aircraft overflights and effects

(reactions) on visitors to National Park

Service (NPS) areas. Concurrent with

the on-site interviews, sound recordings

of the exposure to aircraft overflights

will be taken to determine the ‘‘noise

dose’’ experience by each visitor. A

minimum of 300 visitors and a

maximum of 500 visitors will be

surveyed at each of three potential sites

over a period of 4–5 days at each site.

This study builds upon research

conducted by the NPS to examine the

dose-response relationship between

sightseeing aircraft overflights and NPS

visitor reactions. Because of the

different characteristics of sounds from

military aircraft, the dose-response

relationship for military aircraft

overflights may be quite different from

the relationship developed for

sightseeing aircraft.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households.

Frequency: One time.

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Edward C.

Springer.

Written comments and

recommendations on the proposed

information collection should be sent to

Mr. Springer at the Office of

Management and Budget, Desk Officer

for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive

Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. Robert

Cushing.

Written requests for copies of the

information collection proposal should

be sent to Mr. Cushing, WHS/DIOR,

1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite

1204, Arlington, VA 22202–4302.

Dated: March 18, 1997.
