• Economic development, such as the
amount of money visitors spend in an
area.
• Trip characteristics, for example,
length of trip and trip purpose,
activities, and destinations.
• Visitor or user demographics and
use data, such as city and state of
residence, age group, gender, race, and
number of people or vehicles in a party.
All results are aggregated so that
specific responses cannot be connected
to specific respondents. If any names,
addresses, or telephone numbers are
collected, FLMAs will not store that
information with responses. Contact
information will be purged from
FLMAs’ files once data collections are
completed.
Participation in the FLMA surveys,
interviews, focus groups, and other data
collections under this information
collection is strictly voluntary. The
information may be collected and
analyzed by FLMA personnel, private
contractors, other federal agencies, or
universities or other educational
institutions conducting the information
collection on behalf of the FLMAs. All
results will be aggregated so specific
responses cannot be connected to
specific respondents.
Without coordinated information
collections on recreation and supporting
transportation programs and systems on
federal land, the FLMAs will lack the
information necessary to identify and
implement improvements in
recreational services and facilities and
supporting transportation programs and
systems that address public needs,
protect federal land and resources, and
enhance the visitor experience. These
information collections will become
more important as demand for access to
FLMA recreation sites and opportunities
continues to grow.
Estimated Annual Burden per
Respondent: 0.35 hour for surveys, 1.5
hours for focus groups, 1 hour for
interviews, and 0.05 hour for comment
cards.
Type of Respondents: Individuals and
households, businesses and non-profit
organizations, and state, local, and
Tribal governments.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 50,000.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 8,000 hours.
Comment Is Invited
Comment is invited on (1) whether
this information collection request is
necessary for the stated purposes and
the proper performance of the functions
of the FLMAs, including whether the

information collected will have
practical or scientific utility; (2) the
accuracy of the Forest Service’s estimate
of the burden of the information
collection request, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
information collection request on
respondents, including the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the
submission request for Office of
Management and Budget approval.

Deputy Chief, Research and Development.
