SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Title of Information Collection: Reservoir Operations Study (ROS)--
Recreation User Data.
    Frequency of Use: Annually for a period of five years.
    Type of Affected Public: Individual recreation users at public and 
commercial recreation areas and recreation users from private water 
front homes.
    Small Businesses or Organizations Affected: No.
    Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 3,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 900.
    Estimated Average Burden Hours Per Response: 0.33 hours.
    Need For and Use of Information: As part of system wide re-
evaluation of TVA reservoirs and tailwaters, TVA conducted a survey of 
recreation use on 13 representative reservoirs and 6 representative 
tailwaters during calendar year 2002. Recreation use estimates were 
made for public use areas, commercial marinas, river outfitters, and 
private home owners. In each case, information was collected on the 
amount of recreation use, length of stay, facility preference, trip 
origin, expenditures and economic impact.
    These data now form the foundation for a TVA reservoir and 
tailwater recreation database--the first system-wide estimates on 
recreation use in the Valley collected since 1978. TVA recognizes the 
value of this database and proposes to keep it up-to-date and, 
improving its utility by refining the survey design and conducting 
additional surveys of recreational use on representative reservoirs and 
tailwaters.
