SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Visitor Surveys for Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
    Bureau Form Number: None.
    OMB Number: 1024-0258.
    Expiration Date: 11/30/2009.
    Type of Request: Renewal, with change, of an existing collection.
    Description of Need: The National Park Service (NPS) is requesting 
renewal of an existing information collection that received emergency 
clearance on May 21, 2009. RTI International, under contract with Cape 
Hatteras National Seashore, has completed a survey of local businesses 
under the emergency approval and began conducting a visitor survey at 
Cape Hatteras National Seashore (CAHA). The current request for a 
renewal is to continue the visitor survey. The survey gathers 
information that will be used in the planning and rulemaking processes 
for CAHA's Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) Management Plan/Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS) and ORV regulation. The continuation of the visitor 
survey with the current renewal request will allow the NPS to have a 
seasonally representative sample of CAHA visitors. By having seasonal 
representation, the NPS will be better able to have a complete picture 
of visitors and visitor preferences for park management and for the 
final economic analysis.
    Automated data collection: No automated data collection will be 
used. Information will be collected via on-site surveys.
    Description of respondents: Visitors to Cape Hatteras National 
Seashore.
    Estimated average number of respondents: 2,000 (1,200 respondents & 
800 non-respondents)
    Estimated average number of responses: 2,000 (1,200 respondents & 
800 non-respondents)
    Estimated average burden hours per response: 10 minutes for 
respondents & 2 minutes for non-respondents.
    Frequency of Response: 1 time per respondent.
    Estimated total annual reporting burden: 66 hours.
    Comments are invited on: (1) The practical utility of the 
information being gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden hour 
estimate; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden to 
respondents, including use of automated information techniques or other 
forms of information technology. Before including your address, phone 
number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in 
your comment--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.
