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 especially interested in public

performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility.
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used.
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
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

Abstract: The NPS is authorized by
the Federal Lands Recreation
Enhancement Act (FLREA; 16 U.S.C.
6801–6814) to collect and retain
recreation fees, including entrance fees
and amenity fees for certain facilities,
equipment, and services (such as
campgrounds). Recreation fees collected
under FLREA are used for a variety of
projects that enhance the visitor
experience. The NPS is also mandated
by 54 U.S.C. 100701 and 100702 to
provide state-of-the-art management,
protection, and interpretation of, and
research on, the resources of the System
that is enhanced by the availability and
utilization of a broad program of the
highest quality science and information.
The NPS intends to pilot test a general
population survey of recent and
potential park visitors to evaluate
behavior under different entrance fee

pricing models. The proposed
information collection will inform the
design and administration of a future
survey that is intended to help
determine revenue and access
implications of different entrance fee
rates and collection models. The pilot
study options will include explorations
in, at minimum—increases in entrance
fees, different fee structures, and
technology-based solutions for
collecting entrance fees to make the
entrance process more convenient and
efficient for visitors.
The first step in the process is to
create and pretest survey questions. A
pretest will be conducted to (1) validate
the survey questions, (2) investigate
various sampling methods, (3) estimate
the respondent burden, and (4)
determine the usability of the survey
design. Following the pretest, a pilot
survey will be administered nationwide
to a sample of recent and potential park
visitors. The pilot survey will be used
to evaluate how visitors might respond
to hypothetical questions regarding
changes in entrance fees, fee structures,
and technology-based solutions for
collecting entrance fees. The pilot is
designed to understand the effectiveness
of the instrument and the response rates
for the eventual final survey. A
preliminary analysis of these results
will demonstrate how different entrance
fee rates and collection modes could
affect revenue and visitor access. The
data will allow the NPS to understand
the degree of interest and methodsbased considerations for a
comprehensive study on fees with the
intent of making more transparent and
science-informed pricing decisions in
the future.
