Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: Parks and Recreation Comment
System (PARCS); OMB Control Number
0710–PARC.
Needs and Uses: The Parks and
Recreation Comment System (PARCS) is
intended to be a supplemental
instrument to the mandatory customer
comment cards which can be utilized
not only during the optional years but
would be available anytime the public
would like to submit comments,
questions, or concerns about the
conditions at the project. PARCS is an
online tool unlike the current comment
cards and would reduce the use of
printed materials. Rather than seeking to
gauge overall visitor satisfaction, this
tool is intended to collect impromptu
feedback from visitors with a limited
scope. Each response is expected to
relate to one specific issue, essentially
supplementing other issue reporting
methods such as phone calls and
emails. In response to Executive Order
12862, Setting Customer Service
Standards, issued on 11 September
1993, the Corps of Engineers initiated
development of a comment card
program for monitoring visitor
satisfaction at Corps of Engineers lakes
and projects. E.O. 12862 asks agencies
to establish customer service standards
and ‘‘survey customers to determine
. . . their level of satisfaction with
existing services.’’ This enterprise
program allows for the uniform
collection of customer feedback from
visitors to USACE parks and visitor
centers. In 2005, the program was
expanded to obtain consistent
information across water resources
projects with public recreation areas
requiring mandatory utilization by
projects in a 3-year cycle beginning in
2010.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Annual Burden Hours: 100.
Number of Respondents: 1,200.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 1,200.
Average Burden per Response: 5
minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
