SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we 
provide the general public and other Federal agencies with an 
opportunity 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.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
November 10, 2022 (87 FR 67960). No comments were received.
    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
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:
    (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.
    (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: The Comprehensive Survey of the American Public (CSAP) is 
the only national information collection by the National Park Service 
(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 social science research in support of park planning and 
management in the NPS Management Policies 2006 (Section 8.11.1, 
``Social Science Studies''), this information collection will continue 
to provide high-quality data required to enhance the development of 
programs and resources within the NPS.
