SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), all information collections require approval under the
PRA.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies 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 especially interested in public comment addressing the
following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for
the proper 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; and
(4) How the agency might 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
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 to withhold your
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Abstract: The NPS is authorized by the National Park Service
Protection, Interpretation, and Research in System (54 U.S.C. 100701)
statutes to collect information used to enhance the management and
planning of parks and their resources. The Climate Change Response
Program (administered through the Natural Resource Stewardship and
Science directorate) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) Human
Dimensions Branch (administered through the Natural Resource Program
Center within the National Wildlife Refuge System) are partnering to
conduct a voluntary, on-site survey to understand park and
[[Page 62443]]
refuge visitors' attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs about climate-
related topics.
Both the National Park System and the National Wildlife Refuge
System protect places, resources, and experiences of importance to the
American public. But climate change has serious implications for the
protection of landscapes, ecosystems, recreational opportunities, and
visitor experiences in parks and refuges. Thus, the NPS and FWS seek to
better understand visitors' understanding and concerns about climate
change.
Both the NPS and FWS administer high-quality programs of
interpretation and education, and communication about pressing,
climate-related topics is increasingly necessary. Audience analysis is
important for guiding such efforts. Results of this survey will provide
insight into topics, methods, and/or communications media of most
interest to park and refuge visitors.
