SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Visitor Satisfaction and 

Spending at Pompeys Pillar National 

Monument. 

OMB Control Number: 1028—NEW. 

Abstract: The USGS will conduct a 

survey of visitors to Pompeys Pillar 

National Monument and Shepherd Ah 

Nei Recreation Area near Billings, MT. 

The survey will be used to better 

understand visitor experiences and 

spending in the local community. 

Respondents will have the option to 

complete the survey on-site or return it 

by mail. We will use this survey to 

measure visitor satisfaction with current 

visitor services and facilities and their 

desire for future services and facilities. 

Information from this survey will 

provide BLM managers, planners, and 

visitor services professionals with 

scientifically sound data that can be 

used to prepare resource management 

planning documents and understand the 

economic impact of visitors to the local 

community. 

We will protect information from 

respondents considered proprietary 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

(5 U.S.C. 552) and implementing 

regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under 

regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data 

and information to be made available to 

the public or for limited inspection.’’ 

Responses are voluntary. No questions 

of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked. 

Frequency of Collection: This is a onetime survey. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Estimated Number and Description of 

Respondents: Approximately 600 

visitors of Pompeys Pillar National 

Monument and 600 visitors at Shepherd 

Ah Nei Recreation Area near Billings, 

MT. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 1200 

responses. 

Annual Burden Hours: 200 hours. 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: We 

estimate the public reporting burden 

will average 10 minutes per response. 

This includes the time for reviewing 

instructions and completing the survey. 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’: We 

have not identified any ‘‘non-hour cost’’ 

burdens associated with this collection 

of information.
