This ICR is approved for a further focus group/pilot study of visibility improvement valuation in non-urban national parks and wilderness areas. The goal is to further refine the survey instruments and other aspects of the study design. Since this is a pilot study, the results of analyses using the data collected under this ICR are not suitable for policy purposes. When the agency submits a separate ICR to conduct the final survey in valuing visibility improvements, it should include a demonstration using the results from this focus group/pilot study ICR that the results of the final survey are likely generalizable. Such a demonstration will be important for considering the practical utility of the final survey.

The National Park Service (NPS) is requesting approval to reinstate an existing information collection request (OMB Control Number: 1024-0255) for an ongoing visibility valuation study. To date, a series of focus groups in five states was conducted to develop and test survey materials. NPS requests approval continue the collection to conduct a pilot survey, which will be used to further refine survey materials as needed, and test implementation parameters (i.e., a comparison of internet vs. mail administration). Once the pilot is complete, a final survey will be developed and implemented.

The National Park Service (NPS) is requesting approval to reinstate a currently expired information collection (OMB Control Number: 1024-0255). The reinstatement is needed to continue the process of developing a survey for an ongoing visibility valuation study. In 2008 and 2009, a series of focus groups in five states were conducted to develop survey questions. NPS is now requesting permission to continue the collection effort by conducting a pilot survey, which will be used to refine survey materials and test implementation parameters. Once the pilot is complete, a final survey will be developed and implemented through a separate information collection request (ICR).
