Abstract: The Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993
requires that Federal agencies establish
measurable goals and monitor their
success at meeting those goals. Two of
the items the Forest Service must
measure are: (1) The number of visits
that occur on the National Forest
System lands for recreation and other
purposes, and (2) the views and
satisfaction levels of recreational
visitors to National Forest System lands
about the services, facilities, and
settings. The agency receives requests
for this kind of information from a
variety of organizations, including
Congressional staffs, newspapers,
magazines, and recreational trade
organizations.
The data from this collection provides
vital information for strategic planning
efforts, decisions regarding allocation of
resources, and revisions of land and
resource management plans for national
forests. It provides managers with
reliable estimates of the number of
recreational visitors to a national forest,
activities of those visitors (including
outdoor physical activities), customer
satisfaction, and visitor values. The
knowledge gained from this effort helps
identify recreational markets as well as
the economic impact visitors have on an
area. The information collected is also
used by the Office of Management and
Budget as part of the Program Analysis
Reporting Tool measures for the Forest
Service recreation program. For the
Forest Service, the collection is
designed for a five-year cycle of
coverage across all national forests.
Conducting the collection less
frequently puts information updates out
of cycle with forest planning and other
data preparation activities.
To conform to the Southern Nevada
Public Land Management Act
(SNPLMA), the National Park Service,
Bureau of Land Management, and U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (all United
States Department of Interior (USDI)
agencies) will be utilizing this collection
once every five years to obtain credible
and mutually comparable estimates of
recreational use on lands they
administer in Clarke County, Nevada.
This collection helps ensure a timely
