Collection Review, currently under
review).
OMB Control Number: 1024–NEW.
Title: Social Science Assessment and
Geographic Analysis of Marine
Recreational Uses and Visitor Attitudes
at Dry Tortugas National Park and
Biscayne National Park.
Type of Request: This is a new
collection.
Affected Public: Visitors (18 years and
older) to Biscayne or Dry Tortugas
National Parks.
Respondent Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: One-time.
Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 7,866.
Annual Burden Hours: 952 hours.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: None.
Abstract: The National Park Service
(NPS) Act of 1916, 38 Stat 535, 16 USC
1, et seq., requires that the NPS preserve
national parks for the use and
enjoyment of present and future
generations. The National Park Service
is developing a visitor-focused program
to reduce recreational impacts on
marine resource at Dry Tortugas
National Park (DRTO) and Biscayne
National Park (BISC). The program
management at these ocean units aims
to remove and mitigate degradation of
ocean resources by enabling visitors to
avoid boat grounding, anchor damage,
fishing violations, wildlife disturbance,
invasive species introduction, pollution
and other impacts from boating, fishing,
scuba diving, snorkeling and kayaking.
The proposed information collection
will use a series of surveys to
understand visitor attitudes, perceptions
and beliefs concerning marine resources
and provide a geospatial assessment of
geographic locations of visitor uses at
DRTO and BISC. The information
collected will be used to assess levels
and patterns of recreational uses in
these parks and develop and evaluate
strategic communication plans. This
information will support efforts to
address marine recreational impacts on
sensitive habitats and marine resources,
and guide strategies to reduce these
impacts through education and
outreach, navigational aids, and
enhanced compliance with rules and
regulations, working closely with the
public and marine recreational
communities.
Comments: On May 2, 2009, we
published a Federal Register notice (74
FR 20973) announcing that we would
submit this ICR to OMB for approval
and soliciting comments. The comment
period closed on July 6, 2009. We

E:\FR\FM\16SEN1.SGM

16SEN1

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 180 / Friday, September 16, 2011 / Notices
received a comment from one
individual regarding this notice. This
commenter objected to boaters using the
area for recreation purposes. However,
in our response, we noted that
legislation creating this and other parks
of the National Park system specifically
allows for this and other public uses.
The commenter also suggested that a
survey about the recreational habits of
citizens is unnecessary. While the
survey mentioned by the commenter
may be useful for tracking national
recreational trends, information about
appropriate use levels for specific
indicators of quality at Biscayne
National Park can only be obtained from
the proposed survey.
We again invite comments concerning
this ICR on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the agency to perform its duties,
including whether the information is
useful; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden on the respondents, including
the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
Please note that the comments
submitted in response to this notice are
a matter of public record. Before
including your address, phone number,
e-mail address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment, including your
personal identifying information, may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask OMB in your
comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public
review, we cannot guarantee that it will
be done.
Dated: September 13, 2011.
