Comments Received on the 60-Day
Federal Register Notice: The NPS
published a 60-day notice to solicit
public comments on an information
collection request entitled ‘‘Assessing
Visitor Attitudes, Experiences, and
Expectations Associated with the
Management and Use of Oversand
Vehicles at Assateague Island National
Seashore’’ in the Federal Register on
February 8, 2008 (Vol. 73, No. 34, Page
9354–9355). Publication of the Federal
Register notice was supplemented by
multiple notifications to stakeholders
about the proposed study. The NPS
received 43 comments as a result the 60day notice and the stakeholder
notifications. The comments and
responses are summarized below:
(1) A number of comments either
supported or opposed the use of
oversand vehicles (OSVs) at Assateague
Island National Seashore. These
comments related to possible
management actions NPS might take,
but did not relate to the need for the
information collection or the burden of
the collection.
(2) Three commenters requested a
copy of the draft survey. Copies were
sent to each of the parties requesting
them.
(3) The Defenders of Wildlife and the
Center for Biological Diversity sent a
joint set of comments. Some of these
comments concerned the current
management of the OSV zone, while
others included specific thoughts on the
proposed survey. As a result, the
Defenders of Wildlife and the Center for
Biological Diversity, along with the
Assateague Mobil Sport Fishermen’s
Association, were invited to comment
on the content and wording of the draft
questionnaires. The Defenders of
Wildlife and the Center for Biological
Diversity declined to provide additional
comments. The Assateague Mobil Sport
Fishermen Association did provide
additional feedback, including
recommendations for wording changes
in some questions, along with guidance
to make sure the information collected
was relevant to issues surrounding the
OSV zone. There were also concerns
that a particular area of the OSV Zone
was being targeted in a number of the
questions. The surveys were modified as
a result of these comments.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Assessing Visitor Attitudes
Experiences and Expectations
Associated with the Management and
Use of Oversand Vehicles at Assateague
Island National Seashore.

Type of Request: New collection.
Description of Need: The proposed
study will supply input into identifying
and evaluating alternatives for future
management of Oversand Vehicle (OSV)
use at Assateague Island National
Seashore (ASIS), Maryland. The
purpose of this research is to provide
park managers with information about
the characteristics of visitors to the OSV
zone and adjacent backcountry areas in
the park, attributes of the OSV zone that
are important to the quality of visitor
experiences, and visitor attitudes
regarding OSV management, use, and
resource protection practices.
The use of OSVs for access and
recreation is a traditional activity that
occurred at Assateague prior to the
establishment of the National Seashore
in 1965. Management of OSVs was
formalized with the adoption of special
regulations (36 CFR 7.65) in 1974,
which established vehicle and
equipment requirements, an OSV permit
system, general requirements for legal
operation, and a maximum limit of 145
vehicles using the Maryland District
OSV zone at any time. OSV use was
reevaluated in 1982 during the
Seashore’s general management
planning process. The General
Management Plan (GMP) designated a
‘‘Traditional Recreation Subzone’’ in the
Maryland District approximately 12
miles long to be managed for multiple
uses, including oversand travel by
properly equipped and permitted OSVs.
The Traditional Recreation Subzone
also includes a small area for overnight
accommodation of self-contained OSVs
and two hike-in backcountry
campgrounds. In 2008, the NPS began a
revision of the GMP for ASIS. The
revised GMP will: (1) Clearly define the
desired natural and cultural resource
conditions to be achieved and
maintained over time; (2) clearly define
the necessary conditions for visitors to
understand, enjoy, and appreciate the
park’s significant resources; (3) identify
the kinds and levels of management
activities, visitor use, and development
that are appropriate for maintaining the
desired conditions; and (4) identify
indicators and standards for
maintaining the desired conditions.
The proposed study will assist in the
GMP revision by informing decisions
related to the management of OSV use
at ASIS. The study has two primary
objectives: (1) Develop baseline data on
users of the Traditional Recreation
Subzone, including types, frequency
and patterns of use, and their socioeconomic and demographic
characteristics; and (2) provide input
into potential indicators and standards
of quality for maintaining the desired

visitor experience in the Traditional
Recreation Subzone. The study includes
two questionnaires. The first will be
administered to a representative sample
of OSV users in the Traditional
Recreation Subzone; the second will be
given to a representative sample of nonOSV users in the Subzone.

1. Survey OSV Permit Holders Utilizing
the Traditional Recreation Subzone
A randomly selected group of current
OSV permit holders will receive a
mailback questionnaire, with an option
to complete the survey on-line using a
unique identification code. The survey
includes questions about OSV users’
demographics; the frequency, patterns,
and type of OSV use; factors influencing
the quality of visitor experiences; and
attitudes toward current and potential
OSV management and resource
protection practices. This research is
proposed for the summer and fall of
2010.
2. Survey Backcountry Users of the
Traditional Recreation Subzone
A randomly selected group of visitors
issued backcountry camping permits in
2009 will receive a mailback
questionnaire, with an option to
complete the survey on-line using a
unique identification code. The survey
will include questions similar to those
in the OSV questionnaire, but specific to
backcountry camping experiences. This
survey also is proposed for summer and
fall of 2010.
Automated data collection: This
information will be collected via
mailback surveys distributed through
U.S. Postal Service mail. Participants
also will be given the opportunity to
respond to the survey on-line by using
a unique identification code and
password.
Description of respondents: Current
OSV permit holders and current
backcountry permit holders at
Assateague Island National Seashore.

Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection with a
revision.
Description of Need: The currently
approved information collection
responds to the Federal Lands
Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA)
which requires the Secretary of
Agriculture and the Secretary of the
Interior to make the America the
Beautiful—The National Parks and
Federal Recreational Lands Pass
available, for free, to any United States
citizen or person domiciled in the
United States who has been medically
determined to be permanently disabled
for purposes of Section 7(20)(B)(i) of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C.
705 (20)(B)(i)). The Act further requires
that the applicant provide adequate
proof of the disability and such
citizenship or residency. The Act
specifies that the Pass shall be valid for
the lifetime of the pass holder. The
America the Beautiful—The National
Parks and Federal Recreational Lands
Access Pass (Interagency Access Pass)
was created to meet the requirements of
the FLREA. An Interagency Access Pass
is a free, lifetime permit that is issued
without charge by the Bureau of Land
Management, Bureau of Reclamation,
United States Fish and Wildlife Service,
United States Forest Service, and the
National Park Service to citizens or
persons who are domiciled (permanent
residents) in the United States,
regardless of age, and who have a
medical determination and
documentation of permanent disability.
Furthermore, the Pass is to be nontransferable and entitles the permittee
and any person accompanying him/her
in a single, private, non-commercial
vehicle, or alternatively, the permittee
and 3 adults to enter with him/her
where entry to the area is by any means
other than private, non-commercial
vehicle. The Pass must be signed by the
holder.
In order to issue the Interagency
Access Pass only to persons who have
been medically determined to be
permanently disabled, in accordance
with the FLREA and in order to clarify,
simplify, and to provide uniform
guidance for the public on the process
for obtaining the Interagency Access
Pass, the Secretaries of Agriculture and
of the Interior established eligibility and
required documentation guidelines for
issuing the Interagency Access Pass and
published them within the America the
Beautiful—The National Parks and
Federal Recreational Lands Pass
Standard Operating Procedures. The
current procedures require the
individual to appear in person and sign
the Pass in the presence of the issuing
