Individuals in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of
hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or
TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. Individuals
outside the United States should use the relay services offered within
their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in
the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general
public and other Federal agencies with an opportunity 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 soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) is the collection necessary to the proper
functions of the NPS; (2) will this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how
might the NPS enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how might the NPS minimize the
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use
of information technology.
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: Under the authority of the Organic Act of 1916, the
National Park Service (NPS) is responsible for protecting resources and
providing for the enjoyment of current and future generations. Of
increasing importance to the NPS, is the experience of virtual visitors
to NPS virtual resources. The NPS Virtual Visitor Study is a new
information collection request. The study will administer online
surveys to users who visit NPS digital assets, including <a href="http://NPS.gov">NPS.gov</a>, park-
managed social media accounts, and the NPS Mobile App. The study's
objectives are to describe the NPS virtual visitor population,
understand their motivations, and determine which platforms are most
effective. For one year, across four seasonal waves, this study will
collect data through an online survey offered to NPS digital platform
visitors.
The 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act, (44 U.S.C.
3501), was signed into law to improve the digital experience for
government customers and reinforce existing requirements for federal
public websites. The objectives of the NPS Virtual Visitor Study are to
describe the NPS virtual visitor population, understand their
motivations, determine which NPS digital assets and platforms are most
effective, and identify where user needs are not being met to target
resources for improvement. The results from this study will highlight
the strengths and gaps in NPS digital offerings. Specifically, the
study will inform a stronger virtual visitor monitoring program. A
virtual visitor monitoring program will serve to measure the public's
engagement and satisfaction with NPS digital assets over time.
