The National Survey on Recreation and
the Environment (NSRE) uses random-digit-dialing telephone sampling
to interview Americans age 16 and older. The primary purpose is to
learn about the outdoor recreation activities of the American
public. Individuals are asked about their participation in 81
specific recreation activities. To assist the public land manager
in the formulation of management plans for providing recreation
opportunities, various characteristics of the participants in
individual activities and groups of activities are tabulated. These
characteristics include distributions by age, race, sex, income,
education, size of household, and region of the country. NSRE
results provide detailed tables that show rates of participation in
individual activities and groups of activities which are necessary
to make planning decisions. This survey will be the next in the
series of national surveys that was started in 1960 by the Outdoor
Recreation Resources Review Commission (ORRRC).

The Forest Service is
requesting approval for 3,326 annual burden hours, based on 56,830
annual responses. This is a decrease of 1,589 hours burden hours
from the previous approval period, and a 36,447 increase in
respondents. Previously (2004 ICR), OMB approved an annual burden
of 4,915 burden hours, based on 20,383 responses. The difference is
the result of the number of initial contacts, the content of the
various modules used, and interview techniques.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
