is to obtain park neighbors' perceptions of the existing fire
management program and its effect on residents, the community, and
the ecosystem. Results of the survey will assist NPS fire managers
in their management decisions by providing information about the
knowledge needs and desires of the affected publics living in the

this information collection is to better inform park managers about
issues important to park neighbors, to assist them in developing
citizen education and involvement programs, and to help
them....
