SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are soliciting comments on the
proposed ICR that is described below.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following
issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of the NPS; (2) will
this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate
of burden accurate; (4) how might the
NPS enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (5) how might the NPS
minimize the burden of this collection

on the respondents, including through
the use of information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment

Abstract: The NPS is authorized by
the National Park Service Protection
Interpretation and research in System
(54 U.S.C. 100701) to collect this
information. Since 1998, the NPS Social
Science program has relied heavily on
this generic approval to navigate the
PRA process in an expedited manner.
This process significantly streamlines
the information collection requests to
OMB in a manner that allows the NPS
to submit at least 25 requests per year,
which is four times as many as possible
using the regular submission route. The
Programmatic Clearance applies to all
NPS social science collections (e.g.,
questionnaires, focus groups,
interviews, etc.) designed to furnish
usable information to NPS managers
and planners concerning visitor
experiences, perceptions of services,
programs, and planning efforts in areas
managed by the NPS. To qualify for the
NPS generic programmatic review
process each information request must
show clear ties to NPS management and
planning needs in areas managed by the
NPS or involve research that will
directly benefit the NPS. The scope of
the programmatic review process is
limited to issues that are noncontroversial or unlikely to attract
significant public interest. All
collections must be reviewed by the
NPS and approved by OMB before a
collection is administered. At least 80%
of the questions in an individual
collection must be taken from the OMB
approved Pool of Known Questions
(PKQ). We acknowledge that the PKQ is
not a comprehensive collection of all
possible survey questions; therefore, we
allow leeway for requestors to add park
or research specific questions not in the
PKQ. However all questions must fit
within the scope of the approved Topic
Areas. The Social Science Program will
continue to conduct necessary quality
control and will submit each
information collection request to OMB
