Title: Visitor Surveys for Cape 

Hatteras National Seashore. 

Bureau Form Number: None. 

OMB Number: 1024–0258. 

Expiration Date: 11/30/2009. 

Type of Request: Renewal, with 

change, of an existing collection. 

Description of Need: The National 

Park Service (NPS) is requesting 

renewal of an existing information 

collection that received emergency 

clearance on May 21, 2009. RTI 

International, under contract with Cape 

Hatteras National Seashore, has 

completed a survey of local businesses 

under the emergency approval and 

began conducting a visitor survey at 

Cape Hatteras National Seashore 

(CAHA). The current request for a 

renewal is to continue the visitor 

survey. The survey gathers information 

that will be used in the planning and 

rulemaking processes for CAHA’s OffRoad Vehicle (ORV) Management Plan/ 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

and ORV regulation. The continuation 

of the visitor survey with the current 

renewal request will allow the NPS to 

have a seasonally representative sample 

of CAHA visitors. By having seasonal 

representation, the NPS will be better 

able to have a complete picture of 

visitors and visitor preferences for park 

management and for the final economic 

analysis. 

Automated data collection: No 

automated data collection will be used. 

Information will be collected via on-site 

surveys. 

Description of respondents: Visitors to 

Cape Hatteras National Seashore. 

Estimated average number of 

respondents: 2,000 (1,200 respondents & 

800 non-respondents) 

Estimated average number of 

responses: 2,000 (1,200 respondents & 

800 non-respondents) 

Estimated average burden hours per 

response: 10 minutes for respondents & 

2 minutes for non-respondents. 

Frequency of Response: 1 time per 

respondent. 

Estimated total annual reporting 

burden: 66 hours. 

Comments are invited on: (1) The 

practical utility of the information being 

gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden 

hour estimate; (3) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden to 

respondents, including use of 

automated information techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment—may be made publicly 

available at any time. While you can ask 

us in your comment to withhold your 

personal identifying information from 

public review, we cannot guarantee that 

we will be able to do so.
