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:

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

    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 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.
