Satellite Account (To Define and

Outdoor Recreation)
Bureau of Economic Analysis,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Advance notice of development
of satellite account to define and
measure the outdoor recreation
economy; request for comments.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) and Federal Recreation
Council (FRC) are soliciting comments
from the public on the development of
a new set of national statistics that
would provide information on the
economic activity generated by outdoor
recreation in the United States as
authorized by the Outdoor Recreation
Jobs and Impact Act of 2016, Public Law
114–249.
DATES: Comments must be received no
later than 30 days after publication of
this notice.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
via email to OutdoorRecreation@
bea.gov. Comments sent by any other
method or after the comment period
may not be considered. All comments
are a part of the public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
September 2016, the Bureau of
Economic Analysis (BEA) entered an
interagency agreement with agencies of
the Federal Recreation Council (FRC).
The FRC is composed of the National
Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, U.S.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of
Land Management, Bureau of
Reclamation, National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, and U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers. The
interagency agreement seeks to develop
an Outdoor Recreation Satellite Account
(ORSA). The seven agencies that make
up the FRC are prominent stewards of
federal public lands and waters for
outdoor recreation, and BEA is one of
the U.S. government’s premier
producers of official economic statistics.
The ORSA will provide a first-of-itskind look at the outdoor recreation
economy. While BEA’s current gross
domestic product (GDP) statistics
already embed economic activity
associated with outdoor recreation, the
new satellite account will allow these
activities to be separately identified and
highlighted in a way not possible with
current statistics. Ultimately, creation of
the ORSA will provide detailed data
that will deepen the public’s
understanding of the economic impact
of outdoor recreation. This will inform
decision making and improve
governance and long-term management
of public lands and waters. The first
major step in this effort is to define the
range of activities encompassed by the
outdoor recreation economy. In
evaluating potential definitions, BEA
and FRC will consider public comment
as well as input from subject matter
experts in the field of outdoor
economics. The ORSA research team
will then develop two or three potential
definitions ranging in scope from
narrow to broad. The range of activities
in each definition will determine which
industries and detailed goods and
services measured by BEA will be
classified as in scope, out of scope, or
partially in scope for the outdoor
recreation economy.
Once these initial definitions have
been established, the second major step
will be to review the list of partially-inscope goods and services, and identify
data sources and methodologies by
which the in-scope share of these
‘‘partial’’ items can be estimated.
Finally, using the information collected
in the first two steps, prototype
national-level estimates of economic
activity will be developed that could
include measures of output, value
added, compensation of employees, and
employment in the outdoor recreation
economy. BEA invites email comments
from the general public, private
industry, state and local governments,
non-profit organizations, and other
interested parties. In particular, we are
interested in feedback regarding the
following:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In September 2016, the Bureau of Economic
