SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Trends in Use and Users in the 

Boundary Waters Canoe Area 

Wilderness, Minnesota. 

OMB Number: 0596–208. 

Type of Request: Extension with 

revision. 

Abstract: The Wilderness Act of 1964 

directs the National Wilderness 

Preservation System (System) be 

managed to protect natural wilderness 

conditions and to provide outstanding 

opportunities for the public to find

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 7, 2010 / Notices 54297 

solitude or primitive and unconfined 

types of recreational experiences. 

To meet the requirements of the Act 

and help the Forest Service enhance 

visitors’ recreational experiences at the 

Boundary Waters Canoe Area 

Wilderness in Minnesota, Agency 

scientists periodically monitor and 

report, to managers and the public, 

changes in visitor use and user 

characteristics over time. Forest Service 

personnel use the collected information 

to mitigate the impact of visitors’ 

recreational activities on the natural 

resources of the National Wilderness 

Preservation System. The Agency 

intends to record visitor responses for 

comparison to similar surveys in 1969 

and 1991 and to expand the scope of the 

survey to include things that have 

potentially influenced visits since 1991. 

Potential influences include new 

recreation fees, widespread natural 

disturbances (e.g., fire and wind thrown 

trees) and changes in Agency policies. 

The data from this information 

collection will be stored at the Aldo 

Leopold Wilderness Research Institute 

in Missoula, Montana. Scientists 

working at the Research Institute will 

conduct the data analysis. 

The Forest Service will use 

information from this collection to: 

(1) Understand changes in: 

a. Individual visitor demographics, 

frequency of wilderness visits, and 

residence, and 

b. Changes in recreational visits such 

as group size, difficulty in finding 

campsites, evaluations of conditions 

encountered, etc. since previous studies; 

(2) Gain an understanding of how the 

Agency’s management of the National 

Wilderness Preservation System 

influences a visitor’s wilderness 

experience; 

(3) Help understand how to educate 

visitors, so they may enjoy their 

wilderness experience without leaving 

permanent reminders of their visits, 

such as damaged vegetation, litter, and 

polluted lakes and streams; and 

(4) Provide information that will 

assist in planning management direction 

for many other wilderness areas 

managed by the Forest Service. 

Respondents will be visitors to the 

Boundary Waters Canoe Area 

Wilderness. Forest Service or university 

cooperator personnel will conduct faceto-face, on-site interviews with visitors 

as they enter the System and will send 

mail-back survey forms to visitors at 

their homes, using addresses that 

visitors voluntarily provide when 

interviewed. 

Interview questions will cover 

number of visits, length of visits, and 

plans (if any) for future visits. Visitors 

will be asked: 

• Number of times they have visited, 

length of visits, and plans (if any) for 

future visits; 

• If they are part of a group, and if so, 

the size of the group; 

• Whether they use equipment, such 

as stoves, or use wood for fires while 

visiting; 

• Preferences for social conditions 

(i.e. acceptance of crowded conditions 

designed to limit negative effects to the 

natural resources); and 

• Ideas for reducing the burden of 

information collected (i.e. suggestions 

for distribution of permits and 

collection of fees); and protecting 

resources. 

Data collected in this information 

collection are not available from other 

sources. 

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area 

Wilderness is one of four areas, in 

different regions of the country, where 

more than one study has occurred in the 

past. The studies have sought to 

understand how use and user 

characteristics are changing. Periodic 

evaluations of responses by visitors 

about conditions and experiences, 

contributes to a systematic effort to 

understand the effects of management 

policies and societal influences on 

wilderness protection. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 20 

minutes for each respondent. 

Type of Respondents: Visitors to the 

Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness 

Area, Minnesota. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 500. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: Once. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 167 hours. 

Comment is invited on: (1) Whether 

this collection of information is 

necessary for the stated purposes and 

the proper performance of the functions 

of the Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical or 

scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

All comments received in response to 

this notice, including names and 

addresses when provided, will be a 

matter of public record. Comments will 

be summarized and included in the 

request for Office of Management and 

Budget approval.
