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

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.
