AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we, 
the National Park Service (NPS) are proposing to renew an information 
collection.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 
August 4, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Send your comments on this information collection request 
(ICR) by mail to Phadrea Ponds, Acting NPS Information Collection 
Clearance Officer, National Park Service, 1201 Oakridge Drive, Fort 
Collins, CO 80525; or by email to [email protected]. Please 
reference Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number 1024-
0216 in the subject line of your comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request additional information 
about this ICR, contact Bret Meldrum by email at [email protected], 
or by telephone at 970-267-7295.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR 
1320.8(d)(1), all information collections require approval under the 
PRA. We may not conduct or sponsor and you are not required to respond 
to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number.
    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies 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.
    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; and
    (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. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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: As required by the Government Performance and Results Act 
(GPRA) codified in Public Law 103-62, the NPS uses the Visitor Survey 
Card (VSC) to monitor and report performance, accomplishments and 
progress toward pre-established management goals. The VSC is used to 
measure each park unit's performance related to NPS Management Policy 
and GPRA Goals IIa1 (visitor satisfaction) and IIb1 (visitor 
understanding and appreciation). Each year, approximately 330 
participating NPS units use the VSC to collect data to evaluate visitor 
perception and satisfaction of service and facility quality, awareness 
of park significance, and basic demographic information. Park managers, 
superintendents and the NPS Social Science Program use the information 
collected to understand visitor use and improve park services and 
facilities to develop long-term strategic plans, annual goals, and 
performance improvement plans.
    Title of Collection: National Park Service Visitor Survey Card.
    OMB Control Number: 1024-0216.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: General Public, any person visiting 
the national park during the sampling period.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 62,270.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 62,270.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: 3 minutes to complete the

    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 5,525 hours.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Frequency of Collection: One-time, on occasion.

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor nor is a person required to 
respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.
