SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Visitor Use 

Monitoring. 

OMB Number: 0596–0110. 

Expiration Date of Approval: April 30,

Type of Request: Extension with no 

revision. 

Abstract: The Government 

Performance and Results Act of 1993 

requires that Federal agencies establish 

measurable goals and monitor their 

success at meeting those goals. Two of 

the items the Forest Service must 

measure are: (1) The number of visits 

that occur on the National Forest 

System lands for recreation and other 

purposes, and (2) the views and 

satisfaction levels of recreational 

visitors to National Forest System lands 

about the services, facilities, and 

settings. The agency receives requests 

for this kind of information from a 

variety of organizations, including 

Congressional staffs, newspapers, 

magazines, and recreational trade 

organizations. 

The data from this collection provides 

vital information for strategic planning 

efforts, decisions regarding allocation of 

resources, and revisions of land and 

resource management plans for national 

forests. It provides managers with 

reliable estimates of the number of 

recreational visitors to a national forest, 

activities of those visitors (including 

outdoor physical activities), customer 

satisfaction, and visitor values. The 

knowledge gained from this effort helps 

identify recreational markets as well as 

the economic impact visitors have on an 

area. The information collected is also 

used by the Office of Management and 

Budget as part of the Program Analysis 

Reporting Tool measures for the Forest 

Service recreation program. For the 

Forest Service, the collection is 

designed for a five-year cycle of 

coverage across all national forests. 

Conducting the collection less 

frequently puts information updates out 

of cycle with forest planning and other 

data preparation activities. 

To conform to the Southern Nevada 

Public Land Management Act 

(SNPLMA), the National Park Service, 

Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service (all United 

States Department of Interior (USDI) 

agencies) will be utilizing this collection 

once every five years to obtain credible 

and mutually comparable estimates of 

recreational use on lands they 

administer in Clarke County, Nevada. 

This collection helps ensure a timely
