SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: National Visitor Use Monitoring. OMB Number: 0596–0110. Expiration Date of Approval: February 28, 2025. Type of Request: Reapproval and proposed revisions of an approved ICR. Abstract: The Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 requires that Federal agencies establish measurable goals and monitor their success at meeting those goals. Two of the items the Forest Service must measure are (1) the number of visits that occur on National Forest System lands for recreation and other purposes; and (2) the views and satisfaction levels of recreation visitors to National Forest System lands regarding the recreational services, facilities, and settings they experience. The Agency receives requests for this kind of information from a variety of organizations, including Congressional staffs, newspapers, magazines, and recreation trade organizations. The data from this ICR provide vital information for strategic planning efforts, decisions regarding allocation of resources, and revisions of Forest PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 94703 Service land management plans. The data provide managers with reliable estimates of the number of visitors recreating in an Agency administrative unit, recreational activities conducted by those visitors, visitor satisfaction, and visitor needs, trends, and desires. The information obtained from the ICR helps identify recreation markets, as well as the contributions made to local economies by visitors’ spending on recreational activities on National Forest System lands. The information is collected over a five-year to align with Agency land management planning and other data collection and reporting. At developed recreation sites or access points, Agency personnel or contractors conduct interviews with visitors as they complete their visit. Interviewers ask about the purpose and length of the visit, the origin of the trip, the composition of the visitor’s party, and the visitor’s annual visitation rates, activities during the visit, trip-related spending patterns, use of recreational facilities, and satisfaction with Agency services and facilities. Primary analysis of the information collected is performed by staff in the Agency’s Washington Office and by scientists in one or more of the Agency’s research stations. The Forest Service is proposing to revise the list of survey questions to reflect recently updated Office of Management and Budget guidance on questions related to race, ethnicity, and gender identity. The Agency is also proposing to add questions about veteran and retirement status and special uses. The Forest Service is also proposing to provide a full Spanish translation of the survey. Estimated Annual Burden per Response: 10 minutes. Type of Respondents: Visitors to National Forest System lands. Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 45,000.
