public comments on this ICR entitled
‘‘Visitor Surveys for Cape Hatteras
National Seashore’’ in the Federal
Register on June 17, 2009, on page
28719. In response to the notice, NPS
received a number of comments. The
comments and NPS response are
summarized below.
(1) Comments supporting or opposing
the closure of beaches to beach driving.
NPS received a number of comments
either supporting or opposing closing
the beaches in Cape Hatteras to driving.
These comments relate to possible
management actions NPS might take,
but do not relate to the need for the
information collection or the burden of
the collection.
(2) Comments on the wording of the
questions. NPS received comments on
the wording of specific questions. One
comment suggested revisions to the
description of nesting shorebirds and
turtles. The original question used the
word ‘‘endangered;’’ however this word
has a specific legal meaning. The
wording was changed to ‘‘protected.’’
(3) Comment on additional questions.
NPS received a number of comments
suggesting additional questions. In
response, a question was added on local
residents’ visitation to Cape Hatteras
National Seashore park during 2007. We
also added a question about the primary
purpose of a visitor’s trip.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Visitor Surveys for Cape
Hatteras National Seashore.
Bureau Form Number(s): None.
OMB Number: 1024–0258.
Expiration Date: To be requested.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Description of Need: The National
Park Service (NPS) is requesting
renewal of an existing information
collection that received emergency
approval on May 21, 2009. RTI
International, under contract with Cape
Hatteras National Seashore, has
completed a survey of local businesses
under the emergency approval and has
begun to conduct a visitor survey at
Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The
request for a renewal is to continue the
visitor survey. The survey gathers
information that will be used in the
Seashore’s planning and rulemaking
process for an off-road vehicle (ORV)
management plan/environmental
impact statement and ORV regulation.
The continuation of the visitor survey
with the renewal request will allow the
NPS to obtain a seasonally
representative sample of visitors to Cape
Hatteras National Seashore. By having
seasonal representation, the NPS will
have a more complete picture of visitors

management at the park.

surveys.
