SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Social Science Assessment and Geographic Analysis of Marine Recreational Uses and Visitor Attitudes at Dry Tortugas and Biscayne National Parks. Bureau Form Number: None. OMB Number: To be requested. Expiration Date: To be requested. Type of Request: New Collection. Description of Need: The National Park Service (NPS) Act of 1916, 38 Stat 535, 16 USC 1, et seq., requires that the NPS preserve national parks for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The National Park Service is developing a visitor-focused program to reduce recreational impacts on marine resources in certain ocean units of the National Park System. The program aims to remove and mitigate degradation of ocean resources by enabling visitors to avoid boat grounding, anchor damage, fishing violations, wildlife disturbance, invasive species introduction, pollution and other impacts from boating, fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling and kayaking. Coral reefs, seagrass beds, fish, birds, marine mammals and other sensitive habitats and wildlife are particularly vulnerable to damage or disturbance. However, most visitors will use marine resources responsibly if provided VerDate Nov<24>2008 18:36 May 05, 2009 Jkt 217001 appropriate information and navigational tools to encourage safe and environmentally sound behavior. Dry Tortugas National Park (DRTO) has adopted various anchoring or fishing prohibitions, and Biscayne National Park (BISC) is developing a Fisheries Management Plan and amendments to the Park General Management Plan. In order to succeed, these measures require a full understanding of local visitor use patterns and attitudes and a strategy to incorporate this information into resource management, education and enforcement efforts. The project will survey visitor attitudes, perceptions and beliefs concerning marine resources and provide a geospatial assessment of geographic locations of visitor uses at DRTO and BISC. The reports will be used to assess levels and patterns of recreational uses in these parks and develop and evaluate strategic communication efforts. This information will support efforts to address marine recreational impacts on sensitive habitats and marine resources, and guide strategies to reduce these impacts through education and outreach, navigational aids, and enhanced compliance with rules and regulations, working closely with the public and marine recreational communities. Automated data collection: This information will be collected by identifying voluntary participants and providing surveys to be completed and returned via postal mail or electronic mail. Description of respondents: Visitors to Biscayne and Dry Tortugas National Parks, Florida who visit between February 1st, 2010 and November 1st, 2010. Estimated average number of respondents: We will contact 5,000 individuals stratified by month and expect 2,500 or 50 percent, to agree to respond. Estimated average number of responses: We expect to collect 2,500 completed surveys. Estimated average burden hours per response: 3 minutes for nonrespondents and 23 minutes for respondents. Frequency of Response: 1 time per respondent. Estimated total annual reporting burden: 1,083 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 PO 00000 Frm 00076 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 automated information techniques or other forms of information technology.
