SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Grey Towers Visitor Comment
Card.
OMB Number: 0596–New.
Type of Request: New.
Abstract: The Forest Service is
proposing a new information collection
for a visitor comment card to be used at
Grey Towers. Located in Milford,
Pennsylvania, Grey Towers was
originally the summer estate of the
James Pinchot family and later the
primary home of Gifford Pinchot,
America’s first forester and founder of
the USDA Forest Service. In 1963,
Gifford Bryce Pinchot, son of Gifford
and Cornelia, donated Grey Towers and
102 acres to the U.S. Forest Service, the
Federal agency founded by his father
and which now administers the site.
The U.S. Forest Service works with
numerous partners to carry on the
Pinchot legacy by delivering public
programs, interpretive tours, and
conservation education programs.
Embracing a philosophy of preservation
through use, Grey Towers, in
partnership with the Pinchot Institute,
also functions as an active conference
center for conservation and natural
resource issues. Today, conferences and
seminars at the estate bring together a
diversity of leading conservation and
environmental thinkers to help guide
the future of natural resource
conservation.
Grey Towers strives to provide
quality-based programs and events; and
participant input is vital to achieving
this goal. The proposed comment card

dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES
provides a venue for those participating
in meetings and educational activities at
Grey Towers to provide feedback. The
completion and subsequent evaluation
of this form ensures that Grey Towers
can continue to provide excellent
service to all attendees. This
information collection only covers the
burden associated with responses
collected from the public, though
Federal employees also attend events
held at the facility.
The information is collected on an 8.5
x 11 inch form provided to program and
event participants at the conclusion of
the activity. Forest Service employees
overseeing Grey Towers programs and
administration collect the information
and use it to improve and enhance the
programs and events. Information
collected includes attendance, usage,
and feedback from program attendees.
Without this information collection,
the Forest Service would not have
necessary information to enhance or
improve offered programs. Programs or
events would possibly have negative
aspects of which the staff would be
unaware, such as insufficient or
unbeneficial delivery or content.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 10
minutes.
Type of Respondents: Individuals
(event participants).
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 4,000.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 667 hours.
Comment is Invited
Comment is invited on: (1) Whether
this collection of information is
necessary for the stated purposes and
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical or
scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the
submission request toward Office of
Management and Budget approval.
