Individuals in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of 
hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or 
TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. Individuals 
outside the United States should use the relay services offered within 
their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in 
the United States. You may also view the ICR at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR 
1320.8(d)(1), all information collections require approval under the 
PRA.
    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 the agency might 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: This information collection request seeks to reinstate a 
previously discontinued collection. The Comprehensive Survey of the 
American Public (CSAP) is the only national information collection by 
the NPS that describes visitors and non-visitors to units of the 
National Park System. Information on non-visitors, including their 
demographic characteristics and reasons for their non-visitation, is 
especially important in designing programs to reach underserved 
populations more effectively. The CSAP is administered every 5 years, a 
period determined to be long enough to identify important trends in key 
measures and to survey visitor and non-visitor perceptions, attitudes, 
behaviors, and knowledge related to the programs, services, and 
recreational opportunities offered by the NPS. Based on the strong 
mandate for socioeconomic monitoring expressed in the NPS strategic 
goals for science and the Department of the Interior priorities for 
2018-2022, this information collection will provide the high-quality 
data required to enhance the development of programs and resources 
within the NPS. In addition to telephone surveys, the 2022 CSAP will 
use online data collecting methods as an option to mitigate expenses 
and address the diminishing return rate of telephone surveys in the 
previous iterations.
