Comments Received on the 60-Day 

Federal Register Notice 

The NPS published a 60-Day Notice to 

solicit public comments on this ICR 

entitled ‘‘Clearance of Collection of 

Information; Opportunity for Public 

Comment’’ in the Federal Register on 

January 30, 2008 (73 FR 5588–5589). 

The comment period closed on March 

31, 2008. After multiple notifications to 

stakeholders requesting comments, the 

NPS received one comment as a result 

of the publication of this 60-Day Federal 

Register Notice. The comment 

expressed concern over tax dollars being 

spent on this study. A response was sent 

to the individual, explaining the 

necessity of the survey for the NPS to 

work with its partners to better manage 

the Appalachian Trail lands. No further 

comment has been received. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Appalachian Trail Management 

Partner Survey. 

Bureau Form Number(s): None. 

OMB Number: To be requested. 

Expiration Date: To be requested. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

Description of Need: The National 

Park Service Act of 1916, 38 Stat 535, 

16 U.S.C. 1, et seq., requires that the 

NPS preserve national parks for the use 

and enjoyment of present and future 

generations. The Appalachian National 

Scenic Trail is an unusual unit of the 

national park system, managed through 

a decentralized volunteer-based 

cooperative management system 

involving eight national forests, six 

other national park units, agencies in 

fourteen states, the Appalachian Trail 

Conservancy and citizen volunteers in 

30 affiliated trail club organizations. 

The Government Performance and 

Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 (Pub. L. 

103–62) requires that the NPS develop 

goals and measure performance related 

to these goals. The Appalachian Trail 

Management Partner Survey (ATMPS) 

measures performance toward those 

goals through a partner satisfaction 

survey. The project is an element of the 

NPS Strategic Plan and the Department 

of the Interior (DOI) Strategic Plan. 

The purpose of the ATMPS is to track 

the satisfaction of federal, state, and notfor-profit partner organizations and 

agencies receiving support from the 

Appalachian Trail Park Office (ATPO) 

to protect trail resources and provide for 

the public enjoyment and visitor 

experience of the Appalachian National 

Scenic Trail. The ATPO provides 

support to state and federal agencies, 

and not-for-profit organizations to assist 

them in fulfilling shared and delegated 

management activities in the 

management of the Appalachian 

National Scenic Trail. Achievement of 

on-the-ground results depends on the 

actions of these partner agencies and 

organizations. Progress towards 

management goals is measured by a 

satisfaction survey where key partners 

evaluate quality of support provided by 

ATPO. This effort is required by GPRA 

and other NPS and DOI strategic 

planning efforts. Data from the proposed 

survey is needed to assess performance 

regarding NPS GPRA goal IIb0. NPS 

performance on all goals measured in 

this study will contribute to DOI 

Department-wide performance reports. 

Automated Data Collections: This 

information will be collected via 

electronic mail surveys. 

Description of Respondents: 

Respondents include representatives 

from partner groups, including 

Nonprofit Organizations and State and 

Federal Agencies. 

Estimated Average Number of 

Respondents: 57 respondents & 19 nonrespondents. 

Estimated Average Number of 

Responses: 57 responses & 19 nonresponses. 

Estimated Average Burden Hours Per 

Response: 10 minutes for respondents & 

1 minute for non-respondents. 

Frequency of Response: 1 time per 

respondent. 

Estimated Total Annual Reporting 

Burden: 10 hours.
