SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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.
