Abstract: President George W. Bush’s HealthierUS Initiative and Executive Order 13266 call on federal agencies to improve the flow and use of information on personal fitness and increase the accessibility of resources for physical activity. These pilot projects will employ quasi-experimental designs to evaluate a variety of interventions for increasing healthful physical activity by park visitors and/or residents of communities near parks. The pilots include three “destination” parks and four urban parks.

Emergency Justfication: The NPS is requesting an emergency review because the collection of this information is needed in order to fulfill an initiative of the Administration, and NPS cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because the use of the normal process would delay the implementation of the pilot projects, which in turn would jeopardize the science of their evaluation, which is designed around high-visitation periods in national parks.
