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.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
March 10, 2023 (88 FR 15072). No comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. 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.
(4) How might the agency 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. 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. This collection will be administered as an
online survey of 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 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.
