SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: 2019 Agricultural Shipper 
Transportation Needs Survey--Ohio River System; OMB Control Number 
0710-XXXX.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to determine National Economic Development (NED) benefits and 
recreation values for five recreation sites, including Miami-Dade 
County FL, Pinellas County FL, Collier County FL, Folly Beach SC, and 
San Juan Coast Line, PR. As part of this investigation, the Corps will 
evaluate the existing recreation demand and tourism opportunities 
provided by each project. The proposed methodology (design) involves an 
onsite intercept survey of eligible recreationist to collect data on 
recreational trips and activities within the region, state, and nation. 
The models will be used to produce empirical estimates of economic 
value of beach replenishment.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,125.
    Number of Respondents: 4,500.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 4,500.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondents are public visitors to US Army Corps of Engineers 
Recreation Areas. Visitors exiting the recreation area by vehicle are 
stopped as potential respondents. Participation is voluntary. 
Respondents are asked questions in the following categories; 
characteristics of visit, number of people in the vehicle, description 
of overnight stay, activity participation, number of trips, income 
level, age group, sex, and parking facilities.
    The onsite survey at the project beaches will focus on users, visit 
intensity, and preferences for site quality. Survey will collect recent 
historical trip decisions, contingent behavior (CB) responses 
describing how visitation might change with site quality (e.g. loss of 
beach due to erosion; increasing beach area due to replenishment), and 
stated preference responses designed to assess support for beach 
management policy.
