the collection of information unless it

Forest Service
Title: Perceived and Realized Health
Benefits on Public Lands.
OMB Control Number: 0596–NEW.
Summary of Collection: In June 2002,
President Bush issued Executive Order
13266 for the purpose of improving the
health of all Americans. Physical
activity was one of the four healthprotection pillars and part of this E.O.
encouraged Federal agencies to promote
physical activity on public lands. Little
is known about the use of outdoor
recreation lands for health activities.
Data will be collected from users of
urban proximate public lands, who
come from a variety of ethnic/racial,
income, age, educational, and other
socio-demographic backgrounds. The
activities pursued, health benefits
realized, information sources utilized,
and site attributes preferred are just
some of the items affected by these
differences. The statute authorizing the
collection of information is the Forest
and Rangeland Renewable Resources
Research Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–307,
92 Stat. 353).
Need and Use of the Information:
Data will be collected using on-site
surveys from visitors to urban parks and
more distant watershed sites in or
within an hour’s drive of Los Angeles,
California; Minneapolis-St. Paul,
Minnesota; and Chicago, Illinois.
Participants will answer questions on
the following topics: Area visitation
history and patterns; activity patterns;
site amenities/characteristics;
constraints to more frequent visitation,
physical health; and demographics. The
collected information will enable Forest
Service personnel to more effectively
manage recreation areas for the
encouragement and promotion of
potential physical health benefits. If this
information is not collected resource
managers will have to make visitor
based decisions on limited information.
