I. Abstract
The Clean Air Act (Sections 169A,
169B, and 110(a)(2)(j) charges the NPS
with an ‘‘affirmative responsibility to
protect air quality related values
(including visibility).’’ The NPS believes
that the value of visibility changes
should be represented in cost-benefit
analyses performed regarding state and
federal efforts that may affect visibility
(including the Regional Haze Rule, 40
CFR Part 51). Updated estimates of
visibility benefits are required because
the studies conducted in the 1970s and
1980s do not reflect current baseline
visibility conditions in national parks
and wilderness areas.
The NPS plans to conduct a
nationwide stated preference survey to
estimate the value of visibility changes
in national parks and wilderness areas.
Survey development and pre-testing
have already been conducted under a
previous IC (OMB Control Number
1024–0255). The purpose of this IC is to
conduct the full, national survey.
