SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 2007 National Park Service
Comprehensive Survey of the American
Public.
Bureau Form Number: None.
OMB Number: To be requested.
Expiration Date: To be requested.
Type of Request: New collection.
Description of Need: The NPS
conducted its last comprehensive
survey of the American public in 2000.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:03 Dec 05, 2006
Jkt 211001
That survey provided valuable
information on patterns of use and nonuse of parks and on the demographic
characteristics of visitors and nonvisitors that have been used to inform
NPS decision-making. However, since
2000 many events and actions have
occurred with the potential to affect the
public’s knowledge, behavior, and
opinions regarding the NPS and the
National Park System. Examples include
the terrorist attacks of September 11,
2001, higher fuel prices, and several
catastrophic hurricanes and wildfires. In
addition, the U.S. population has aged
and become more racially and
ethnically diverse since the last
comprehensive survey. Although the
NPS and its research partners regularly
survey visitors to selected National Park
System units, these separate surveys
cannot be rolled up into a description of
visitors at the national and regional
levels, nor do they describe the
knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of
non-visitors and former visitors.
Furthermore, individual park visitor
surveys are not able to show trends in
the knowledge, opinions, and behavior
of the U.S. population over time. This
information is essential to informing
many important planning and
management decisions of the NPS,
ranging from visitor services, fee policy,
and resource management actions to
civic engagement and visitors and nonvisitors over time can also provide a
perspective on how national and
regional populations are changing in
their knowledge of the National Park
System and in their use of parks,
including leisure travel patterns,
perceived service quality, and
constraints to park visitation.
The method of information collection
for the 2007 survey will be a nationwide
telephone survey of households
conducted using a random-digit-dial
(RDD) telephone sample,
disproportionately stratified by the
seven NPS administrative regions
(including the states of Alaska and
Hawaii). In each of the seven regions,
500 completed interviews of about 15
minutes length will be obtained, for a
total of 3,500 completions.
The data collected from the
comprehensive survey will profile
patterns in visitation and non-visitation
to the National Park System. These
findings will be described in a national
technical report and in reports for each
of the seven NPS regions. Thematic
reports on specific policy and
management issues included in the
survey will be produced, and a
summary report tracking changes in key
variables between 2000 and 2007 will be
written.

Response rates to telephone surveys
have been declining. Therefore, it is
probable that future NPS surveys of the
American public will shift from
telephone interviewing to a mail
response or to a combination of
response modes. Changes in response
mode from telephone to mail can affect
answers to survey questions. Because
the NPS comprehensive survey tracks
several ‘‘core’’ variables over time, it is
important to know if measured changes
in these variables are due to a switch in
response modes or to real changes in the
variables. To understand how response
mode affects answers to core questions,
the NPS will compare the telephone
mode of survey administration with a
paper and pencil self-administration.
This test will utilize an additional
sample of 4,000 listed mailing addresses
with associated phone numbers
(screened to eliminate numbers that
duplicate numbers in the RDD sample)
and randomly split in half.
A short-form questionnaire including
a few core variables from the full
survey, such as visitation patterns and
demographics, will be used for this test.
One-half of the sample will be
administered as a phone survey. The
other half will be sent a printed version
of the short-form questionnaire. The
project anticipates obtaining 1,000
completed questionnaires from each of
the two response modes, for an
additional 2,000 short interviews
beyond the 3,500 completed for the
main telephone survey. A report on
response-mode effects on survey
interviewing will be produced,
including mode effects on response
rates, non-response bias, the
demographic characteristics of
respondents, item non-response, and
substantive responses to core variables.
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 collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail address,
or other identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—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.
