SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Parks and Recreation 
Comment System (PARCS); OMB Control Number 0710-PARC.
    Needs and Uses: The Parks and Recreation Comment System (PARCS) is 
intended to be a supplemental instrument to the mandatory customer 
comment cards which can be utilized not only during the optional years 
but would be available anytime the public would like to submit 
comments, questions, or concerns about the conditions at the project. 
PARCS is an online tool unlike the current comment cards and would 
reduce the use of printed materials. Rather than seeking to gauge 
overall visitor satisfaction, this tool is intended to collect 
impromptu feedback from visitors with a limited scope. Each response is 
expected to relate to one specific issue, essentially supplementing 
other issue reporting methods such as phone calls and emails. In 
response to Executive Order 12862, Setting Customer Service Standards, 
issued on 11 September 1993, the Corps of Engineers initiated 
development of a comment card program for monitoring visitor 
satisfaction at Corps of Engineers lakes and projects. E.O. 12862 asks 
agencies to establish customer service standards and ``survey customers 
to determine . . . their level of satisfaction with existing 
services.'' This enterprise program allows for the uniform collection 
of customer feedback from visitors to USACE parks and visitor centers. 
In 2005, the program was expanded to obtain consistent information 
across water resources projects with public recreation areas requiring 
mandatory utilization by projects in a 3-year cycle beginning in 2010.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 100.
    Number of Respondents: 1,200.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,200.
    Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
